Abstract

We show that the effective potentials for the Polyakov loops in finite temperature SU$(N)$ gauge theories obey a certain scaling relation with respect to temperature in the large-$N$ limit. This scaling relation strongly constrains the possible terms in the Polyakov loop effective potentials. Moreover, by using the effective potentials in the presence of imaginary chemical potentials or imaginary angular velocities in several models, we find that phase transitions to $Z_m$-type deconfinement phases ($Z_m$ phase) occur, where the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loop are distributed $Z_m$ symmetrically. Physical quantities in the $Z_m$ phase obey the scaling properties of the effective potential. The models include Yang-Mills (YM) theories, the bosonic BFSS matrix model and ${\mathcal N}=4$ supersymmetric YM theory on $S^3$. Thus, the phase diagrams of large-$N$ gauge theories with imaginary chemical potentials are very rich and the stable $Z_m$ phase would be ubiquitous. Monte-Carlo calculations also support this. As a related topic, we discuss the phase diagrams of large-$N$ YM theories with real angular velocities in finite volume spaces., Comment: 30+16 pages, 15 figures, related movies are on https://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takehiro.azuma/multi_cut/index.html v2: minor corrections v3: version accepted for publication in PTEP

Abstract

Highly efficient anti-Stokes (AS) photoluminescence (PL) is observed from halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) due to their strong electron-phonon interactions. The AS PL is particularly intriguing as it suggests the potential for semiconductor optical cooling if the external quantum efficiency approaches 100%. However, the PL quantum efficiency in QDs is primarily dominated by multiparticle nonradiative Auger recombination processes under intense photoexcitation, which impose limits on the optical cooling gain. Here, we investigate the Auger recombination of dot-in-crystal perovskites. We quantitatively estimate the maximum optical cooling gain and the corresponding excitation intensity. We further conducted optical cooling experiments and demonstrate a maximum photo-cooling of approximately 9 K from room temperature. Additionally, we confirmed that increasing the excitation intensity leads to a transition from photo-cooling to photo-heating. These observations are consistent with our time-resolved measurements, offering insights into the potential and limitations of optical cooling in semiconductor QDs.

3. Constraining Spacetime Dimensions in Quantum Gravity by Scale Invariance and Electric-Magnetic Duality

Author

High Energy Physics - Theory, General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

We consider a low energy effective theory of $p$-branes in a $D$-dimensional spacetime, and impose two conditions: 1) the theory is scale invariant, and 2) the electric-magnetic dual $(D-p-4)$-branes exist and they obey the same type of interactions to the $p$-branes. (We also assume other natural conditions such as Lorentz invariance but not string theory, supersymmetry, supergravity and so on.) We then ask what $p$ and $D$ are consistent with these conditions. Using simple dimensional analysis, we find that only two solutions are possible: $(p,D)=(2,11)$ and $(p,D)=(2n-1,4n+2)$, ($n=1,2,3,\cdots$). The first solution corresponds to M-theory, and the second solutions at $n=1$ and $n=2$ correspond to self-dual strings in little string theory and D3-branes in type IIB superstring theory, respectively, while the second solutions for $n \ge 3$ are unknown but would be higher spin theories. Thus, quantum gravity (massless spin two theory) satisfying our two conditions would only be superstring theories, and the conditions would be strong enough to characterize superstring theories in quantum gravity., Comment: 8+3 pages, 2 figures, v2: minor changes, v3: title changes, version accepted for publication in PTEP, v4: a typo has been corrected

Abstract

Rotating systems in thermal equilibrium are ubiquitous in our world. In the context of high energy physics, rotations would affect the phase structure of QCD. However, the standard Monte-Carlo methods in rotating systems are problematic because the chemical potentials for the angular momenta (angular velocities) cause sign problems even for bosonic variables. In this article, we demonstrate that the complex Langevin method (CLM) may overcome this issue. We apply the CLM to the Yang-Mills (YM) type one-dimensional matrix model (matrix quantum mechanics) that is a large-$N$ reduction (or dimensional reduction) of the $(D+1)$-dimensional U$(N)$ pure YM theory (bosonic BFSS model). This model shows a large-$N$ phase transition at finite temperature, which is analogous to the confinement/deconfinement transition of the original YM theory, and our CLM predicts that the transition temperature decreases as the angular momentum chemical potential increases. In order to verify our results, we compute several quantities via the minimum sensitivity method and find good quantitative agreements. Hence, the CLM properly works in this rotating system. We also argue that our results are qualitatively consistent with a holography and the recent studies of the imaginary angular velocity in QCD. As a byproduct, we develop an analytic approximation to treat the so-called ``small black hole" phase in the matrix model., Comment: 31 + 13 pages,16 figures. v2: minor corrections. v3: section 5 revised. v4: minor corrections, published version

6. Universal Bounds on Quantum Mechanics through Energy Conservation and the Bootstrap Method

Author

Morita, Takeshi

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory, Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics, Quantum Physics
Abstract

The range of motion of a particle with certain energy $E$ confined in a potential is determined from the energy conservation law in classical mechanics. The counterpart of this question in quantum mechanics can be regarded as what the possible range of the expectation values of the position operator $ \langle x \rangle$ of a particle, which satisfies $E= \langle H \rangle$. This range depends on the state of the particle, but the universal upper and lower bounds, which is independent of the state, must exist. In this study, we show that these bounds can be derived by using the bootstrap method. We also point out that the bootstrap method can be regarded as a generalization of the uncertainty relations, and it means that the bounds are determined by the uncertainty relations in a broad sense. Furthermore, the bounds on possible expectation values of various quantities other than position can be determined in the same way. However, in the case of multiple identical particles (bosons and fermions), we find some difficulty in the bootstrap method. Because of this issue, the predictive power of the bootstrap method in multi-particle systems is limited in the derivation of observables including energy eigenstates. In addition, we argue an application of the bootstrap method to thermal equilibrium states. We find serious issues that temperature and entropy cannot be handled. Although we have these issues, we can derive some quantities in micro-canonical ensembles of integrable systems governed by generalized Gibbs ensembles., Comment: 35 pages, 12 figures, v2: numerical analysis in sec.3.1.2 was revised, v3: title changed, references added, parts of sec 4.3 shifted to appendix B, matches published version

Abstract

Recently, an application of the numerical bootstrap method to quantum mechanics was proposed, and it successfully reproduces the eigenstates of various systems. However, it is unclear why this method works. In order to understand this question, we study the bootstrap method in harmonic oscillators. We find that the problem reduces to the Dirac's ladder operator problem and is exactly solvable analytically. Our result suggests that the bootstrap method may be regarded as a numerical version of the Dirac's approach and it may explain why it works in various systems., Comment: 12 pages, no figures, v2 bootstrap analysis in an anharmonic oscillator by using ladder operators added and an appendix on constructing bootstrap matrix in a general polynomial potential added

Abstract

Recently, novel numerical computation on quantum mechanics by using a bootstrap method was proposed by Han, Hartnoll, and Kruthoff. We consider whether this method works in systems with a $\theta$-term, where the standard Monte-Carlo computation may fail due to the sign problem. As a starting point, we study quantum mechanics of a charged particle on a circle in which a constant gauge potential is a counterpart of a $\theta$-term. We find that it is hard to determine physical quantities as functions of $\theta$ such as $E(\theta)$, except at $\theta=0$ and $\pi$. On the other hand, the correlations among observables for energy eigenstates are correctly reproduced for any $\theta$. Our results suggest that the bootstrap method may work not perfectly but sufficiently well, even if a $\theta$-term exists in the system., Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures.v3: matches published version in PRD, appendix on the details of the numerical bootstrap was added

12. Extracting classical Lyapunov exponent from one-dimensional quantum mechanics

Author

Subjects

Abstract

The commutator $[x(t),p]$ in an inverted harmonic oscillator (IHO) in one-dimensional quantum mechanics exhibits remarkable properties. It reduces to a c-number and does not show any quantum fluctuations for arbitrary states. Related to this nature, the quantum Lyapunov exponent computed through the out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) $\langle [x(t),p]^2 \rangle $ precisely agrees with the classical one. Hence, the OTOC may be regarded as an ideal indicator of the butterfly effect in the IHO. Since IHOs are ubiquitous in physics, these properties of the commutator $[x(t),p]$ and the OTOCs might be seen in various situations, too. In order to clarify this point, as a first step, we investigate OTOCs in one-dimensional quantum mechanics with polynomial potentials, which exhibit butterfly effects around the peak of the potential in classical mechanics. We find two situations in which the OTOCs show exponential growth reproducing the classical Lyapunov exponent of the peak. The first one, which is obvious, is using a suitably localized wave packet near the peak, and the second one is taking a limit akin to the large-$N$ limit in the noncritical string theories., Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures.

13. Analogous Hawking Radiation in Butterfly Effect

Author

Subjects

Abstract

We propose that Hawking radiation-like phenomena may be observed in systems that show butterfly effects. Suppose that a classical dynamical system has a Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$, and is deterministic and non-thermal ($T=0$). We argue that, if we quantize this system, the quantum fluctuations may imitate thermal fluctuations with temperature $T \sim \hbar \lambda_L/2 \pi $ in a semi-classical regime, and it may cause analogous Hawking radiation. We also discuss that our proposal may provide an intuitive explanation of the existence of the bound of chaos proposed by Maldacena, Shenker and Stanford., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, Proceedings of 4th International Conference on Holography, String Theory and Discrete Approach in Hanoi (3-8 August 2020)

14. Critical Dimension and Negative Specific Heat in One-dimensional Large-N Reduced Models

Abstract

We investigate critical phenomena of the Yang-Mills (YM) type one-dimensional matrix model that is a large-$N$ reduction (or dimensional reduction) of the $D+1$ dimensional $U(N)$ pure YM theory (bosonic BFSS model). This model shows a large-$N$ phase transition at finite temperature, which is analogous to the confinement/deconfinement transition of the original YM theory. We study the matrix model at a three-loop calculation via the "principle of minimum sensitivity" and find that there is a critical dimension $D=35.5$: At $D \le 35$, the transition is of first order, while it is of second order at $D\ge 36$. Furthermore, we evaluate several observables in our method, and they nicely reproduce the existing Monte Carlo results. Through the gauge/gravity correspondence, the transition is expected to be related to a Gregory-Laflamme transition in gravity, and we argue that the existence of the critical dimension is qualitatively consistent with it. Besides, in the first order transition case, a stable phase having negative specific heat appears in the microcanonical ensemble, which is similar to Schwarzschild black holes. We study some properties of this phase., Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, v2: minor corrections, v3: minor corrections and reference added, v4: published version, Discussions on negative specific heat are added

16. Nuclear states and spectra in holographic QCD

Abstract

A new method to study nuclear physics via holographic QCD is proposed. Multiple baryons in the Sakai-Sugimoto background are described by a matrix model which is a low energy effective theory of D-branes of the baryon vertices. We study the quantum mechanics of the matrix model and calculate the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. The obtained states are found to coincide with known nuclear and baryonic states, and have appropriate statistics and charges. Calculated spectra of the baryon/nucleus for small baryon numbers show good agreement with experimental data. For hyperons, the Gell-Mann--Okubo formula is approximately derived. Baryon resonances up to spin $5/2$ and isospin $5/2$ and dibaryon spectra are obtained and compared with experimental data. The model partially explains even the magic numbers of light nuclei, $N=2,8$ and $20$., Comment: 65 pages; v2: 69 pages, discussions on the magic number are clarified; v3: 75 pages, published version

17. Thermal Emission from Semi-classical Dynamical Systems

Abstract

Recently the bound on the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L \le 2\pi T/ \hbar$ in thermal quantum systems was conjectured by Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford. If we naively apply this bound to a system with a fixed Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$, it might predict the existence of the lower bound on temperature $T \ge \hbar \lambda_L/ 2\pi $. Particularly, it might mean that chaotic systems cannot be zero temperature quantum mechanically. Even classical dynamical systems, which are deterministic, might exhibit thermal behaviors once we turn on quantum corrections. We elaborate this possibility by investigating semi-classical particle motions near the hyperbolic fixed point and show that indeed quantum corrections may induce energy emission which obeys a Boltzmann distribution. We also argue that this emission is related to acoustic Hawking radiation in quantum fluid. Besides, we discuss when the bound is saturated and show that a particle motion in an inverse harmonic potential and $c=1$ matrix model may saturate the bound although they are integrable., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, published version

Abstract

By exploring a phase space hydrodynamics description of one-dimensional free Fermi gas, we discuss how systems settle down to steady states described by the generalized Gibbs ensembles through quantum quenches. We investigate time evolutions of the Fermions which are trapped in external potentials or a circle for a variety of initial conditions and quench protocols. We analytically compute local observables such as particle density and show that they always exhibit power law relaxation at late times. We find a simple rule which determines the power law exponent. Our findings are, in principle, observable in experiments in an one dimensional free Fermi gas or Tonk's gas (Bose gas with infinite repulsion)., Comment: 29 pages, 9 figures, v2: published version

22. Toward the construction of the general multi-cut solutions in Chern-Simons Matrix Models

Author

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

In our previous work arXiv:1704.08675, we pointed out that various multi-cut solutions exist in the Chern-Simons (CS) matrix models at large-$N$ due to a curious structure of the saddle point equations. In the ABJM matrix model, these multi-cut solutions might be regarded as the condensations of the D2-brane instantons. However many of these multi-cut solutions including the ones corresponding to the condensations of the D2-brane instantons were obtained numerically only. In the current work, we propose an ansatz for the multi-cut solutions which may allow us to derive the analytic expressions for all these solutions. As a demonstration, we derive several novel analytic solutions in the pure CS matrix model and the ABJM matrix model. We also develop the argument for the connection to the instantons., Comment: 43 pages, 16 figures, v2: published version, minor changes

23. Bound on Lyapunov exponent in $c=1$ matrix model

Abstract

Classical particle motions in an inverse harmonic potential show the exponential sensitivity to initial conditions, where the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$ is uniquely fixed by the shape of the potential. Hence, if we naively apply the bound on the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L \le 2\pi T/ \hbar$ to this system, it predicts the existence of the bound on temperature (the lowest temperature) $T \ge \hbar \lambda_L/ 2\pi$ and the system cannot be taken to be zero temperature when $\hbar \neq 0$. This seems a puzzle because particle motions in an inverse harmonic potential should be realized without introducing any temperature but this inequality does not allow it. In this article, we study this problem in $N$ non-relativistic free fermions in an inverse harmonic potential ($c=1$ matrix model). We find that thermal radiation is {\em induced} when we consider the system in a semi-classical regime even though the system is not thermal at the classical level. This is analogous to the thermal radiation of black holes, which are classically non-thermal but behave as thermal baths quantum mechanically. We also show that the temperature of the radiation in our model saturates the inequality, and thus, the system saturates the bound on the Lyapunov exponent, although the system is free and integrable. Besides, this radiation is related to acoustic Hawking radiation of the fermi fluid., Comment: v3: 18+11 pages, 6 figures introduction was modified, accepted version

27. Multi-cut Solutions in Chern-Simons Matrix Models

Author

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

We elaborate the Chern-Simons (CS) matrix models at large $N$. The saddle point equations of these matrix models have a curious structure which cannot be seen in the ordinary one matrix models. Thanks to this structure, an infinite number of multi-cut solutions exist in the CS matrix models. Particularly we exactly derive the two-cut solutions at finite 't\,Hooft coupling in the pure CS matrix model. In the ABJM matrix model, we argue that some of multi-cut solutions might be interpreted as a condensation of the D2-brane instantons., Comment: 25 pages, 9 figures; v2: published version, minor changes

29. Constraining Spacetime Dimensions in Quantum Gravity by Scale Invariance and Electric–Magnetic Duality.

Abstract

We consider a low-energy effective theory of p -branequaes in a D -dimensional spacetime, and impose two conditions: (1) the theory is scale-invariant, and (2) the electric–magnetic dual |$(D-p-4)$| -branes exist and they obey the same type of interactions to the p -branes. (We also assume other natural conditions such as Lorentz invariance but not string theory, supersymmetry, supergravity, and so on.) We then ask what values of p and D are consistent with these conditions. Using simple dimensional analysis, we find that only two solutions are possible: |$(p,D)=(2,11)$| and |$(p,D)=(2n-1,4n+2)$|⁠ , (⁠|$n=1,2,3,\cdots$|⁠). The first solution corresponds to M-theory, and the second solutions at |$n=1$| and |$n=2$| correspond to self-dual strings in little string theory and D3-branes in type IIB superstring theory, respectively, while the second solutions for |$n \ge 3$| are unknown but would be higher spin theories. Thus, quantum gravity (massless spin two theory) satisfying our two conditions would only be superstring theories, and the conditions would be strong enough to characterize superstring theories in quantum gravity.

Abstract

This study presents the development of large-area (18 $\times $ 18 $\times $ 2 cm$^3$), high refractive index ($n \sim $1.05) hydrophobic silica aerogel tiles for use as Cherenkov radiators. These transparent aerogel tiles will be installed in a Cherenkov detector for the next-generation accelerator-based particle physics experiment Belle II, to be performed at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. Cracking has been eliminated from the prototype aerogel tiles by improving the supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO$_2$) extraction procedure when drying the wet gel tiles. Finally, a method of mass-producing aerogel tiles for the actual detector was established. It was confirmed that the experimentally manufactured aerogel tiles meet the required optical and hydrophobic characteristics and have a uniform tile density., Comment: Published in Journal of Supercritical Fluids, 14 pages, 14 figures, 3 tables

Abstract

We provide new formulae for the degenerations of the bilateral basic hypergeometric function ${}_1\psi_1 ( a; b; q, z )$ with using the $q$-Borel-Laplace transformation. These are thought of as the first step to construct connection formulae of $q$-difference equation for ${}_1\psi_1 ( a; b; q, z )$. Moreover, we show that our formulae have the $q \to 1 - 0$ limit., Comment: 13 pages

Abstract

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive signaling lipid associated with a variety of chronic pain and itch disorders. S1P signaling has been linked to cutaneous pain, but its role in itch has not yet been studied. Here, we find that S1P triggers itch and pain in male mice in a concentration-dependent manner, with low levels triggering acute itch alone and high levels triggering both pain and itch. Ca2+ imaging and electrophysiological experiments revealed that S1P signals via S1P receptor 3 (S1PR3) and TRPA1 in a subset of pruriceptors and via S1PR3 and TRPV1 in a subset of heat nociceptors. Consistent with these findings, S1P-evoked itch behaviors are selectively lost in mice lacking TRPA1, whereas S1P-evoked acute pain and heat hypersensitivity are selectively lost in mice lacking TRPV1. We conclude that S1P acts via different cellular and molecular mechanisms to trigger itch and pain. Our discovery elucidates the diverse roles that S1P signaling plays in somatosensation and provides insight into how itch and pain are discriminated in the periphery.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Itch and pain are major health problems with few effective treatments. Here, we show that the proinflammatory lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and its receptor, S1P receptor 3 (S1PR3), trigger itch and pain behaviors via distinct molecular and cellular mechanisms. Our results provide a detailed understanding of the roles that S1P and S1PR3 play in somatosensation, highlighting their potential as targets for analgesics and antipruritics, and provide new insight into the mechanistic underpinnings of itch versus pain discrimination in the periphery.

Abstract

Somatosensory neurons mediate responses to diverse mechanical stimuli, from innocuous touch to noxious pain. While recent studies have identified distinct populations of A mechanonociceptors (AMs) that are required for mechanical pain, the molecular underpinnings of mechanonociception remain unknown. Here, we show that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and S1P Receptor 3 (S1PR3) are critical regulators of acute mechanonociception. Genetic or pharmacological ablation of S1PR3, or blockade of S1P production, significantly impaired the behavioral response to noxious mechanical stimuli, with no effect on responses to innocuous touch or thermal stimuli. These effects are mediated by fast-conducting A mechanonociceptors, which displayed a significant decrease in mechanosensitivity in S1PR3 mutant mice. We show that S1PR3 signaling tunes mechanonociceptor excitability via modulation of KCNQ2/3 channels. Our findings define a new role for S1PR3 in regulating neuronal excitability and establish the importance of S1P/S1PR3 signaling in the setting of mechanical pain thresholds.

Abstract

We give summation formulae for the bilateral basic hypergeometric series ${}_1\psi_1( a; b; q, z )$ through Ramanujan's summation formula, which are generalizations of nontrivial identities found in the physics of three-dimensional Abelian mirror symmetry on $\mathbf{R}P^2 \times S^1$. We also show the $q \to 1 - 0$ limit of our summation formulae., Comment: 17 pages

Abstract

The supercoonformal index on $\mathbb{RP}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{1}$ can be derived exactly by the localization technique and applied to the direct proof of Abelian mirror symmetry. We find two sets of parity conditions compatible with the unorientable property of $\mathbb{RP}^{2}$ and then rigorously show two kinds of Abelian mirror symmetry via the index on $\mathbb{RP}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{1}$., Comment: 6 pages, contribution to proceedings of IX International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries

Abstract

Till date, the only consistent description of the deconfinement phase of the Sakai-Sugimoto model appears to be provided by the analysis of [1] (arXiv:1107.4048). The current version of the analysis, however, has a subtlety regarding the monodromy of quarks around the Euclidean time circle. In this note, we revisit and resolve this issue by considering the effect of an imaginary baryon chemical potential on quark monodromies. With this ingredient, the proposal of [1] for investigating finite temperature QCD using holography is firmly established. Additionally, our technique allows a holographic computation of the free energy as a function of the imaginary chemical potential in the deconfinement phase; we show that our result agrees with the corresponding formula obtained from perturbative QCD, namely the Roberge-Weiss potential., Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures

45. Thermodynamics of Intersecting Black Branes from Interacting Elementary Branes

Abstract

If an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton system admits the extreme brane solution in which no force works between the parallel branes, the collective motion of nearly parallel branes exhibits the thermodynamical properties which are coincident with those of the corresponding black branes at low energy regime (up to unfixed numerical factors). Hence it may provide the microscopic description of the black branes ($p$-soup proposal). This fact motivates us to test this proposal in the intersecting black branes which have multiple brane charges and/or momentum along the brane direction. We consider the case that the multiple branes satisfy the intersection rule and feel no force when they are static, and find the agreement to the black hole thermodynamics., Comment: 1+17 pages

Abstract

We consider a new 3d superconformal index defined as the path integral over $\mathbb{RP}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$, and get the generic formula for this index with arbitrary number of U$(1)$ gauge symmetries via the localization technique. We find two consistent parity conditions for the vector multiplet, and name them $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{CP}$. We find an interesting phenomenon that two matter multiplets coupled to the $\mathcal{CP}$-type vector multiplet merge together. By using this effect, we investigate the simplest version of 3d mirror symmetry on $\mathbb{RP}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$ and observe four types of coincidence between the SQED and the XYZ model. We find that merging two matters plays an important role for the agreement., Comment: 28 pages, formulas modified and comments added

Abstract

We investigate instantons in finite temperature QCD via Witten's holographic QCD. To study the deconfinement phase, we use the setup proposed in [1] (arXiv:1107.4048). We find that the sizes of the instantons are stabilized at certain values both in the confinement and deconfinement phases. This agrees with the numerical result in the lattice gauge theory. Besides we find that the gravity duals of the large and small instantons in the deconfinement phase have different topologies. We also argue that the fluctuation of the topological charges is large in confinement phase while it is exponentially suppressed in deconfinement phase, and a continuous transition occurs at the Gross-Witten-Wadia (GWW) point. It would be difficult to observe the counterpart of this transition in lattice QCD, since the GWW point in QCD may stay at an unstable branch., Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures; v2: references added, minor corrections

48. Moduli dynamics as a predictive tool for thermal maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills at large N

Abstract

Maximally supersymmetric (p+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at large N and finite temperature, with possibly compact spatial directions, has a rich phase structure. Strongly coupled phases may have holographic descriptions as black branes in various string duality frames, or there may be no gravity dual. In this paper we provide tools in the gauge theory which give a simple and unified picture of the various strongly coupled phases, and transitions between them. Building on our previous work we consider the effective theory describing the moduli of the gauge theory, which can be computed precisely when it is weakly coupled far out on the Coulomb branch. Whilst for perturbation theory naive extrapolation from weak coupling to strong gives little information, for this moduli theory naive extrapolation from its weakly to its strongly coupled regime appears to encode a surprising amount of information about the various strongly coupled phases. We argue it encodes not only the parametric form of thermodynamic quantities for these strongly coupled phases, but also certain transcendental factors with a geometric origin, and allows one to deduce transitions between the phases. We emphasise it also gives predictions for the behaviour of a large class of local operators in these phases., Comment: 64 pages, 3 figures

Abstract

A high-power ultrasonic transducer for minimally invasive treatments is proposed, capable of treating areas inaccessible by high-intensity focused ultrasound treatments. This transducer employs two elliptical reflectors that efficiently focus ultrasound waves into a thin waveguide by utilizing mode conversion. Additionally, a slit structure is introduced to suppress wave diffraction, further enhancing the focusing capabilities of the transducer. Finite element analysis demonstrates that the proposed transducer achieves an impressive energy density magnification factor of 325, with an energy efficiency of 24.2 %. This efficiency is 3.4 times higher than that of a conventional transducer, Double Parabolic refLector wave-guided Ultrasonic transducer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
