A generalised inductive approach to the lace expansion

Remco van der Hofstad, Gordon Slade

The lace expansion is a powerful tool for analysing the critical behaviour of self-avoiding walks and percolation. It gives rise to a recursion relation which we abstract and study…

Magnetic field-induced Kondo effects in Coulomb blockade systems

M. Pustilnik, L. I. Glazman, D. H. Cobden +1

We review the peculiarities of transport through a quantum dot caused by the spin transition in its ground state. Such transitions can be induced by a magnetic field. Tunneling of…

On the Ginzburg-Landau Free Energy of Charge Density Waves with a Three-Dimensional Order

Masahiko Hayashi, Hideo Yoshioka

The effective free energy of a charge density wave (CDW) with a three-dimensional order is derived from a microscopic model (Frölich model) based on the path integral method. Elect…

Oscillations of Andreev states in clean ferromagnetic films

M. Zareyan, W. Belzig, Yu. V. Nazarov

We investigate the influence of the exchange field on the Andreev bound states in a ferromagnetic (F) film backed on one side by a superconductor (S). Our model accounts for diffus…

Harmonic analysis on the SU(2) dynamical quantum group

Erik Koelink, Hjalmar Rosengren

Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang-Ba…

The Kondo Effect in the Unitary Limit

W. G. van der Wiel, S. De Franceschi, T. Fujisawa +3

We observe a strong Kondo effect in a semiconductor quantum dot when a small magnetic field is applied. The Coulomb blockade for electron tunneling is overcome completely by the Ko…

Threshold amplitudes for transition to turbulence in a pipe

Lloyd N. Trefethen, S. J. Chapman, Dan S. Henningson +3

Although flow in a circular pipe is stable to infinitesimal perturbations, it can be excited to turbulence by finite perturbations whose minimal amplitude shrinks as R goes to infi…

Inelastic tunneling in a double quantum dot coupled to a bosonic environment

Toshimasa Fujisawa, Wilfred G. van der Wiel, Leo P. Kouwenhoven

Coupling a quantum system to a bosonic environment always give rise to inelastic processes, which reduce the coherency of the system. We measure energy dependent rates for inelasti…
