Goldstone Tensor Modes

Tom Adawi, Martin Cederwall, Ulf Gran +2

In the context of brane solutions of supergravity, we discuss a general method to introduce collective modes of any spin by exploiting a particular way of breaking symmetries. The…

Controlling Josephson transport by manipulation of Andreev levels in ballistic mesoscopic junctions

Goran Wendin, Vitaly S. Shumeiko, Peter Samuelsson

We discuss how to control dc Josephson current by influencing the structure and nonequilibrium population of Andreev levels via external electrostatic gates, external current injec…

Holography and the Weyl anomaly

Mans Henningson, Kostas Skenderis

We review our calculation of the Weyl anomaly for d-dimensional conformal field theories that have a description in terms of a (d + 1)-dimensional gravity theory.

Path-Integral Formulation of Dirichlet String in General Backgrounds

Supriya Kar

We investigate the dynamics of an arbitrary Dirichlet (D-) string in presence of general curved backgrounds following a path-integral formalism. In particular, we consider the inte…

Impurity corrections to the thermodynamics in spin chains using a transfer-matrix DMRG method

Stefan Rommer, Sebastian Eggert

We use the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) for transfer matrices to numerically calculate impurity corrections to thermodynamic properties. The method is applied to two…

Resonant transport through midgap states in voltage-biased Josephson junctions of d-wave superconductors

T. Lofwander, G. Johansson, V. S. Shumeiko +2

We study theoretically the ac Josephson effect in voltage biased planar junctions of d-wave superconductors. For some orientations of the superconductors a current peak is found at…

Resonant tunneling through Andreev levels

A. Kadigrobov, L. Y. Gorelik, R. I. Shekhter +1

We use a semiclassical approach for analysing the tunneling transport through a normal conductor in contact with superconducting mirrors. Our analysis of the electron-hole propagat…

Mesoscopic superconductors under irradiation: Microwave spectroscopy of Andreev states

N. I. Lundin, L. Y. Gorelik, R. I. Shekhter +2

We show that irradiation of a voltage-biased superconducting quantum point contact at frequencies of the order of the gap energy can remove the suppression of subgap dc transport t…

Multiple Andreev reflections as a transport problem in energy space

G. Johansson, K. N. Bratus', V. S. Shumeiko +1

We present an approach for analyzing the dc current in voltage biased quantum superconducting junctions. By separating terms from different -particle processes, we find that the…

A two-channel Kondo impurity in the spin-1/2 chain: Consequences for Knight shift experiments

Sebastian Eggert, Stefan Rommer

A magnetic impurity in the spin-1/2 chain is a simple realization of the two-channel Kondo problem since the field theoretical descriptions in the spin-sector are identical. The co…

Superfluidity of indirect excitons in a quantum dot

Yu. E. Lozovik, S. A. Verzakov, M. Willander

The superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation of indirect excitons in two-dimensional quantum dot are studied by path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. The temperature dependenc…

Dualities between Poisson brackets and antibrackets

Igor Batalin, Robert Marnelius

Recently it has been shown that antibrackets may be expressed in terms of Poisson brackets and vice versa for commuting functions in the original bracket. Here we also introduce ge…
