Topological aspects of geometrical signatures of phase transitions.

چکیده
Certain geometric properties of submanifolds of configuration space are numerically investigated for classical phi(4) models in one and two dimensions. Peculiar behaviors of the computed geometric quantities are found only in the two-dimensional case, when a phase transition is present. The observed phenomenology strongly supports, though in an indirect way, a recently proposed topological conjecture about a topology change of the configuration space submanifolds as counterpart to a phase transition.

Anholonomy and geometrical localization in dynamical systems
We characterize the geometrical and topological aspects of a dynamical system by associating a geometric phase with a phase space trajectory. Unlike Berry’s phase, the path underlying this “anholonomy” is not in parameter space, but in a projective space of the phase space, which directly characterizes the geometry of the trajectories. Using the example of a non-linear driven damped oscillator,...
متن کاملThermodynamic signatures for topological phase transitions to Majorana and Weyl superfluids in ultracold Fermi gases
We discuss the thermodynamic signatures for the topological phase transitions into Majorana and Weyl superfluid phases in ultracold Fermi gases in two and three dimensions (2D and 3D) in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a Zeeman field. We analyze the thermodynamic properties exhibiting the distinct nature of the topological phase transitions linked with the Majorana fermions (2D F...
متن کاملTopological Aspects of Phase Transitions
In the past decade and a half, an alternative analysis of phase transitions, based in the topological behavior of system configuration spaces, has been introduced. This method offers a new understanding of many phase transitions, particularly those in finite systems, using topology and manifold behavior. While the broadest hypotheses offered by researchers have proven overly optimistic, the met...
متن کاملTopological Defect Models of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays
We give an overview over models in which cosmic rays above ∼ 1EeV (= 10 eV) are produced by the decay of supermassive “X”particles released from topological defects possibly created in cosmological phase transitions. We note that, for an interesting particle physics parameter range, these models are still consistent with current data, and discuss signatures for the topological defect mechanism ...
متن کاملSupersymmetrical bounding of asymmetric states and quantum phase transitions by anti-crossing of symmetric states
Von Neumann and Wigner theorized the bounding and anti-crossing of eigenstates. Experiments have demonstrated that owing to anti-crossing and similar radiation rates, the graphene-like resonance of inhomogeneously strained photonic eigenstates can generate a pseudomagnetic field, bandgaps and Landau levels, whereas exponential or dissimilar rates induce non-Hermicity. Here, we experimentally de...
