A near-symplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a closed 2-form that is symplectic away from the 1-dimensional submanifold along which it vanishes and that satisfies a certain transversality condition along this vanishing locus. We investigate near-symplectic 4-manifolds equipped with singular Lagrangian torus fibrations which are locally induced by effective Hamiltonian torus actions. We show h...

In designing the Hilbert transform pairs of biorthogonal wavelet bases, it has been shown that the requirements of the equalmagnitude responses and the half-sample phase offset on the lowpass filters are the necessary and sufficient condition. In this paper, the relationship between the phase offset and the vanishing moment difference of biorthogonal scaling filters is derived, which implies a ...

The paramagnetic phase of the one-band Hubbard model is studied at zero-temperature, within the framework of dynamical mean-field theory, and for general particle-hole asymmetry where a doping-induced Mott transition occurs. Our primary focus is the Mott insulator (MI) phase, and our main aim to establish what can be shown exactly about it. To handle the locally doubly-degenerate MI requires tw...

The notion of vanishing-moment recovery (VMR) functions is introduced in this paper for the construction of compactly supported tight frames with two generators having the maximum order of vanishing moments as determined by the given refinable function, such as the mth order cardinal B-spline Nm. Tight frames are also extended to “sibling frames” to allow additional properties, such as symmetry...

Thermal ammonolysis of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) CoTa2O6 yields the O2-/N3- and anionic vacancy ordered Co2+Ta5+2O6-xN2x/3$\Box$x/3 (x $\leq$ 0.15) that exhibits a transition from antiferromagnetism to defect engineered above room-temperature ferromagnetism as evidenced by diffraction, spectroscopic magnetic characterizations. First-principles calculations reveal origin is particular CoO...

When a Cardinal B-spline of order greater than 1 is used as the scaling function to generate a multiresolution approximation of L = L(IR) with dilation integer factor M ≥ 2, the standard “matrix extension” approach for constructing compactly supported tight frames has the limitation that at least one of the tight frame generators does not annihilate any polynomial except the constant. The notio...

When a Cardinal B-spline of order greater than 1 is used as the scaling function to generate a multiresolution approximation of L2 = L2(IR) with dilation integer factor M ≥ 2, the standard “matrix extension” approach for constructing compactly supported tight frames has the limitation that at least one of the tight frame generators does not annihilate any polynomial except the constant. The not...

We use density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm to study the phase diagram of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on honeycomb lattice with first (J1) and second (J2) neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions, where a Z2 spin liquid region has been proposed. By implementing SU(2) symmetry in the DMRG code, we are able to obtain accurate results for long cylinders with width slightly over 1...
