Symmetric Boundary Conditions in Boundary Critical Phenomena

چکیده

It has been an extremely fruitful idea to study a conformal field theory by putting it on various surfaces, with or without boundaries. Apart from the sphere, that has been considered first, prime examples of non–trivial geometries include the torus [1] and the cylinder [2,3]. They serve to probe different facets of a given conformal theory. However the data specific of these surfaces are inextricably related to each other, and this fact provides very stringent constraints on the theory itself, allowing for example to determine its field content. For minimal conformal theories, the problem on the torus for single–valued fields has been resolved in [4]: consistent models have a periodic partition function that can be associated in a unique way with a pair (A,G) of simple Lie algebras of ADE type. The solution of the analogous problem for the cylinder is much more recent, even if early calculations in either specific models or with specific boundary conditions have been carried out in [2,3,5]. The recent discovery in [6] of a new conformally invariant boundary condition in the 3–state Potts model triggered a renewal of interest in the problem. For minimal models, its solution was given in [7,8], and shown to be encoded in the same Dynkin graphs that specify the torus partition function. When a model has a symmetry, necessarily discrete in this context, fields can be multiple–valued on the torus, so that non–periodic sectors exist. Furthermore, the fields transform under the symmetry group, and, upon diagonalization, can be assigned charges. All this information is encoded in frustrated partition

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Conveying Fluid in Slip Boundary Conditions Using Variational Iterative Method

In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the carbon nanotube conveying fluid in slip boundary conditions is studied using the variation iteration method. The developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. The results indicate that an increase in the slip parameter leads to a decrease in the frequency of vibration an...

Simulation of static sinusoidal wave in deep water environment with complex boundary conditions using proposed SPH method

The study of wave and its propagation on the water surface is among significant phenomena in designing quay, marine and water structures. Therefore, in order to design structures which are exposed to direct wave forces, it is necessary to study and simulate water surface height and the wave forces on the structures body in different boundary conditions. In this study, the propagation of static ...

A Finite Element Model for Simulating Flow around a Well with Helically Symmetric Perforations

In a perforated well, fluids enter the wellbore through array of perforation tunnels. These perforations are typically distributed in a helical pattern around the wellbore. Available numerical models to simulate production flow into cased-and-perforated vertical wells have complicated boundary conditions or suffer from high computational costs. This paper presents a simple and at the same time ...

Effect of Non-ideal Boundary Conditions on Buckling of Rectangular Functionally Graded Plates

We have solved the governing equations for the buckling of rectangular functionally graded plates which one of its edges has small non-zero deflection and moment. For the case that the material properties obey a power law in the thickness direction, an analytical solution is obtained using the perturbation series. The applied in-plane load is assumed to be perpendicular to the edge which has no...
