Bergholtz, Zhao Liu<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">Topological insulators are accompanied by exotic edge states that are protected by a bulk single-particle band gap once the filled bands are characterized by non-trivial topological invariants. Interactions can have profound effects and lead to entirely new insulating phases, with an altogether much richer and less explored phenomenology, as is particularly clear in the case of partial filling of weakly dispersive bands. Most saliently, lattice generalizations of fractional quantum Hall states, dubbed fractional Chern insulators, have recently been predicted to be stabilized by interactions within nearly dispersionless bands with non-zero Chern number, $C$. Contrary to their continuum analogues, these states do not require an external magnetic field and may potentially persist at high temperatures, which make these systems very interesting in the context of applications such as topological quantum computation. This review recapitulates the basics of tight-binding models hosting nearly flat bands with non-trivial topology, $C\neq 0$, and summarizes the present understanding of interactions and strongly correlated phases within these bands. Emphasis is put on the analogy with continuum Landau level physics, as well as qualitatively new, lattice specific, aspects including Berry curvature fluctuations, competing instabilities as well as novel collective states of matter emerging in bands with $|C|>1$. Possible experimental realizations, including oxide interfaces and cold atom implementations as well as generalizations to flat bands characterized by other topological invariants are also discussed.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0343">http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0343</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924348630364356733.post-65082201307889238292013-08-05T00:02:00.001-07:002013-08-05T00:02:10.897-07:001308.0528 (K.

Zhitnitsky<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">We conjecture that the phase transitions in QCD at large number of colours $N\gg 1$ is triggered by the drastic change in $\theta$ behaviour. The conjecture is motivated by the holographic model of QCD where confinement -deconfinement phase transition indeed happens precisely at temperature $T=T_c$ where $\theta$ dependence experiences a sudden change in behaviour: from $N^2\cos(\theta/N)$ at $T<T_c$ to $\cos\theta\exp(-N)$ at $T>T_c$. This conjecture is also supported by recent lattice studies. We employ this conjecture to study a possible phase transition as a function of $\kappa\equiv N_f/N$ from confinement to conformal phase in the Veneziano limit $N_f\sim N$ when number of flavours and colours are large, but the ratio $\kappa$ is finite. Technically, we consider an operator which gets its expectation value solely from nonperturbative instaton effects. When $\kappa$ exceeds some critical value $\kappa> \kappa_c$ the integral over instanton size is dominated by small-size instatons, making the instanton computations reliable with expected $\exp(-N)$ behaviour. However, when $\kappa<\kappa_c$, the integral over instaton size is dominated by large-size instantons, and the instanton expansion breaks down. This regime with $\kappa<\kappa_c$ corresponds to the confinement phase. We also compute the variation of the critical $\kappa_c(T, \mu)$ when the temperature and chemical potential $T, \mu \ll \Lambda_{QCD}$ slightly vary. We also discuss the scaling $(x_i-x_j)^{-\gamma_{\rm det}}$ in the conformal phase.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0020">http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0020</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924348630364356733.post-39339930723813833152013-08-04T00:03:00.009-07:002013-08-04T00:03:19.433-07:001308.0027 (Mohamed M.

Anber<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">The confinement problem remains one of the most difficult problems in theoretical physics. An important step toward the solution of this problem is the Polyakov's work on abelian confinement. The Georgi-Glashow model is a natural testing ground for this mechanism which has been surprising us by its richness and wide applicability. In this work, we shed light on two new aspects of this model in 2+1 D. First, we develop a many-body description of the effective degrees of freedom. Namely, we consider a non-relativistic gas of W-bosons in the background of monopole-instanton plasma. Many-body treatment is a standard toolkit in condensed matter physics. However, we add a new twist by supplying the monopole-instantons as external background field. Using this construction, we calculate the exact form of the potential between two electric probes as a function of their separation. This potential is expressed in terms of the Meijer-G function which interpolates between logarithmic and linear behavior at small and large distances, respectively. Second, we develop a systematic approach to integrate out the effect of the W-bosons at finite temperature in the range 0<T<M_W, where M_W is the W-boson mass, starting from the full relativistic partition function of the Georgi-Glashow model. Using a heat kernel expansion that takes into account the non-trivial thermal holonomy, we show that the partition function describes a three-dimensional two-component Coulomb gas. We repeat our analysis using the many-body description which yields the same result and provides a check on our formalism. At temperatures close to the deconfinement temperature, the gas becomes essentially two-dimensional recovering the partition function of the dual sine-Gordon model that was considered in a previous work.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0027">http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0027</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924348630364356733.post-75703052319830152682013-08-04T00:03:00.007-07:002013-08-04T00:03:18.724-07:001308.0127 (Aleksey Cherman et al.)<h2 class="title"><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0127">Resurgence in QFT: Unitons, Fractons and Renormalons in the Principal<br /> Chiral Model</a> [<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.0127">PDF</a>]</h2>Aleksey Cherman, Daniele Dorigoni, Gerald V.

In particular, a great deal of progress has been made on the understanding, numerically as well as analytically, of the spectral properties of the Wilson Dirac operator. In this paper, we study the infra-red spectrum of the Wilson Dirac operator via Random Matrix Theory including the three leading order $a^2$ correction terms that appear in the corresponding chiral Lagrangian. A derivation of the joint probability density of the eigenvalues is presented. This result is used to calculate the density of the complex eigenvalues, the density of the real eigenvalues and the distribution of the chiralities over the real eigenvalues. A detailed discussion of these quantities shows how each low energy constant affects the spectrum. Especially we consider the limit of small and large (which is almost the mean field limit) lattice spacing. Comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations of the Random Matrix Theory show a perfect agreement with the analytical predictions. Furthermore we present some quantities which can be easily used for comparison of lattice data and the analytical results.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.7251">http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.7251</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924348630364356733.post-46317979201458010592013-07-30T00:07:00.007-07:002013-07-30T00:07:10.060-07:001307.7480 (Juven Wang et al.)<h2 class="title"><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.7480">A Lattice Non-Perturbative Definition of 1+1D Anomaly-Free Chiral<br /> Fermions and Bosons</a> [<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1307.7480">PDF</a>]</h2>Juven Wang, Xiao-Gang Wen<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">A non-perturbative definition of anomaly-free chiral fermions and bosons in 1+1D spacetime as finite quantum systems on 1D lattice is proposed.

One can thus construct renormalized actions that contain only 2 counterterms instead of the 3 of the standard Karsten-Wilczek or Borici-Creutz actions. Our investigations suggest the usefulness of analogous nonperturbative searches for values of the parameters for which the number of counterterms can be reduced. They can also be an inspiration to undertake a search for ultralocal minimally doubled actions with even better counterterm-reducing properties, including the optimal case in which all counterterms can be removed. Simulations of the latter actions will be much cheaper than the cases in which one needs to add counterterms to the bare actions, like the already conveniently inexpensive standard Karsten-Wilczek fermions. Finally, we also introduce minimally doubled fermions with next-to-nearest-neighbor interactions, which depend on 4 continuous parameters, as a further possibility in the search for renormalized actions with no counterterms.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.7497">http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.7497</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924348630364356733.post-72581923794351013832013-07-30T00:07:00.003-07:002013-07-30T00:07:05.253-07:001307.7523 (E.
