Quaternionic linear algebra and plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables. Abstract We remind known and establish new properties of the Dieudonné and Moore determinants of quaternionic matrices. Using these linear algebraic results we develop a basic theory of plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables. The main point of this paper is that in quaternionic algebra and analys...

We present results on the QCD phase diagram for small densities without reweighting. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential µI for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8 3 × 4 lattice with 2 flavors of staggered quarks, we map out the pseudo-critical temperature Tc(µI). For µI /T ≤ π/3, this is an analytic function whose Taylor expansion converges rapidly...

We call superpartitions the indices of the eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the trigonometric Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model. We obtain an ordering on superpartitions from the explicit action of the model’s Hamiltonian on monomial superfunctions. This allows to define Jack superpolynomials as the unique eigenfunctions of the model that decompose triangularly, with respect to t...

This paper gives a practical method of extending an n× r matrix P (z), r ≤ n, with Laurent polynomial entries in one complex variable z, to a square matrix also with Laurent polynomial entries. If P (z) has orthonormal columns when z is restricted to the torus T, it can be extended to a paraunitary matrix. If P (z) has rank r for each z ∈ T, it can be extended to a matrix with nonvanishing dete...

Full Connguration Interaction (FCI) calculations have been performed for the nitrogen dimer using a vdzp basis set. The FCI space contains about 10 10 symmetry-adapted Slater determinants. The FCI results are compared with several approximated methods. 3 1. Introduction.

In this paper we give lower bounds for the representation of real univariate polynomials as sums of powers of degree 1 polynomials. We present two families of polynomials of degree d such that the number of powers that are required in such a representation must be at least of order d. This is clearly optimal up to a constant factor. Previous lower bounds for this problem were only of order Ω( √...

We investigate the dual superconductor hypothesis in finitetemperature SU(2) lattice gluodynamics in the Spatial Maximal Abelian gauge. This gauge is more physical than the ordinary Maximal Abelian gauge due to absence of non-localities in temporal direction. We show numerically that in the Spatial Maximal Abelian gauge the probability distribution of the abelian monopole field is consistent wi...

In the paper, by a very simple approach, the author establishes an expression in terms of a lower Hessenberg determinant for the Euler polynomials. By the determinantal expression, the author finds a recurrence relation for the Euler polynomials. By the way, the author derives the corresponding expression and recurrence relation for the Euler numbers.

We present applications of the recently introduced “Generalized SIC-Slater” scheme which provides a simple Self-Interaction Correction approximation in the framework of the Optimized Effective Potential. We focus on the computation of static polarizabilities which are known to constitute stringent tests for Density Functional Theory. We apply the new method to model H4 chains, but also to more ...

As is well known, the Shapovalov bilinear form and its determinant is an important tool in the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras over char. 0. To our knowledge, the corresponding study of the Shapovalov bilinear form and its determinant is not available in the literature in char. p or the quantum case at roots of unity. The aim of this paper is to fully determine the Shapovalov d...
