Disordering to Order: de Vries behavior from a Landau theory for smectics
Karl Saunders, Daniel Hernandez, Staci Pearson +1
We show that Landau theory for the isotropic, nematic, smectic A, and smectic C phases generically, but not ubiquitously, implies de Vries behavior. I.e., a continuous AC transitio…
Vacuum Energy Density for Massless Scalar Fields in Flat Homogeneous Spacetime Manifolds with Nontrivial Topology
P. M. Sutter, Tsunefumi Tanaka
Although the observed universe appears to be geometrically flat, it could have one of 18 global topologies. A constant-time slice of the spacetime manifold could be a torus, Mobius…
A manifold structure for the group of orbifold diffeomorphisms of a smooth orbifold
Joseph E. Borzellino, Victor Brunsden
For a compact, smooth C^r orbifold (without boundary), we show that the topological structure of the orbifold diffeomorphism group is a Banach manifold for finite r \ge 1 and a Fre…
Asymptotics of block Toeplitz determinants and the classical dimer model
Estelle L. Basor, Torsten Ehrhardt
We compute the asymptotics of a block Toeplitz determinant which arises in the classical dimer model for the triangular lattice when considering the monomer-monomer correlation fun…
Precise radial velocities of giant stars: I. Stable stars
S. Hekker, S. Reffert, A. Quirrenbach +4
Context: Future astrometric missions such as SIM PlanetQuest need very stable reference stars. K giants have large luminosities, which place them at large distances and thus the ji…
Minimal Betti Numbers
Christopher Dodd, Andrew Marks, Victor Meyerson +1
We give conditions for determining the extremal behavior for the (graded) Betti numbers of squarefree monomial ideals. For the case of non-unique minima, we give several conditions…
