Square summability of variations and convergence of the transfer operator

Anders Johansson, Anders Öberg

In this paper we study the one-sided shift operator on a state space defined by a finite alphabet. Using a scheme developed by Walters [13], we prove that the sequence of iterates…

Non-Abelian generalization of off-diagonal geometric phases

David Kult, Johan Åberg, Erik Sjöqvist

If a quantum system evolves in a noncyclic fashion the corresponding geometric phase or holonomy may not be fully defined. Off-diagonal geometric phases have been developed to deal…

Asymptotic normality of the -core in random graphs

Svante Janson, Malwina J. Luczak

We study the -core of a random (multi)graph on vertices with a given degree sequence. In our previous paper [Random Structures Algorithms 30 (2007) 50--62] we used propertie…

Hyperkahler sigma models on cotangent bundles of Hermitian symmetric spaces using projective superspace

Masato Arai, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Ulf Lindstrom

Kahler manifolds have a natural hyperkahler structure associated with (part of) their cotangent bundles. Using projective superspace, we construct four-dimensional N = 2 models on…

T-duality and Generalized Complex Geometry

Jonas Persson

We find the explicit T-duality transformation in the phase space formulation of the N=(1,1) sigma model. We also show that the T-duality transformation is a symplectomorphism and i…
