On a bifurcation problem arising in cholesteric liquid crystal theory

Carlo Greco (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In a cholesteric liquid crystal the director field n ( x , y , z ) tends to form a right-angle helicoid around a twist axis in order to minimize the internal energy; however, a fixed alignment of the director field at the boundary (strong anchoring) can give rise to distorted configurations of the director field, as oblique helicoid, in order to save energy. The transition to this distorted configurations depend on the boundary conditions and on the geometry of the liquid crystal, and it is known as Freedericksz...

On the decomposition of particle size distribution in the extraction replica method

Vratislav Horálek (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

This paper deals with the method for evaluating exposures of nickel alloy structures containing both extracted and sectioned particles. The presented stereological model makes it possible to estimate two unknown spatial parameters, the mean value of the particle size distribution and the depth of etching with the use of the information obtained from the combined structure of the exposures.

On the multiple overlap function of the SK model.

Sergio de Carvalho Bezerra, Samy Tindel (2007)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this note, we prove an asymptotic expansion and a central limit theorem for the multiple overlap R1, ..., s of the SK model, defined for given N, s ≥ 1 by R1, ..., s = N-1Σi≤N σ1i ... σsi. These results are obtained by a careful analysis of the terms appearing in the cavity derivation formula, as well as some graph induction procedures. Our method could hopefully be applied to other spin glasses models.

On the number of ground states of the Edwards–Anderson spin glass model

Louis-Pierre Arguin, Michael Damron (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Ground states of the Edwards–Anderson (EA) spin glass model are studied on infinite graphs with finite degree. Ground states are spin configurations that locally minimize the EA Hamiltonian on each finite set of vertices. A problem with far-reaching consequences in mathematics and physics is to determine the number of ground states for the model on d for any d . This problem can be seen as the spin glass version of determining the number of infinite geodesics in first-passage percolation or the number...
