The classical phase diagram of the Kane-Mele-Heisenberg model is obtained by three complementary methods: Luttinger-Tisza, variational minimization, and the iterative minimization method. Six distinct phases were obtained in the space of…
We say that a normalized modular form is of CM type modulo $\ell$ by an imaginary quadratic field $K$ if its Fourier coefficients $a_p$ are congruent to $0$ modulo a prime $\mathcal L\mid \ell$ for every prime $p$ that is inert in $K$. In…
We prove rigidity type results on the vanishing of stable (co)homology for modules of finite complete intersection dimension, results which generalize and improve upon known results. We also introduce a notion of pre-rigidity, which…
We compute the quasinormal modes of massive scalar and Dirac fields within the framework of asymptotically de Sitter black holes in Euler-Heisenberg non-linear electrodynamics. We pay particular attention to the regime $\mu M/m_{P}^2 \gg…
Recently Ciuchini, Pierini and Silvestrini proposed a method for constraining CKM parameters in B->K pi pi and B_s-> K pi pi through phase measurements of amplitudes involving I=3/2 K*pi final states. We show that complementary information…
In this paper, we introduce a new set of modular-invariant phase factors for orbifolds with trivially-acting subgroups, analogous to discrete torsion and generalizing quantum symmetries. After describing their basic properties, we…
Coupled frustrated spin-1/2 chains in high magnetic fields described within the ferro- antiferromagnetic J1-J2 Heisenberg model are studied by the DMRG, the hard core boson, and the spin wave theory approaches. Multipolar phases related to…
Phase transitions are studied in $M$-theory and $F$-theory. In $M$-theory compactification to five dimensions on a Calabi-Yau, there are topology-changing transitions similar to those seen in conformal field theory, but the non-geometrical…
The action--Maslov homomorphism $I\co\pi_1(\text{Ham}(X,\omega))\to\R$ is an important tool for understanding the topology of the Hamiltonian group of monotone symplectic manifolds. We explore conditions for the vanishing of this…
The values of the $T$ and $U$ moduli are studied for those ${\bf Z}_N $ Coxeter orbifolds with the property that some of the twisted sectors have fixed planes for which the six-torus ${\bf T}^6 $ can not be decomposed into a direct sum…
The matrix product structure is considered on a regular lattice in the hyperbolic plane. The phase transition of the Ising model is observed on the hyperbolic $(5, 4)$ lattice by means of the corner-transfer-matrix renormalization group…
We introduce a cohomological obstruction to solving the constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) equation twisted by a semipositive form, appearing in works of Fine and Song-Tian. Geometrically this gives an obstruction for a manifold to…
We study the quasinormal modes of massless charged fermions in a Reissner-Nordstrom-anti-de Sitter black hole spacetime. In the probe limit, we find that the imaginary part of quasinormal frequency will become positive when the temperature…
The Hamiltonian mean-field (HMF) model is a system of fully coupled rotators which exhibits a second-order phase transition at some critical energy in its canonical ensemble. We investigate the case where the interaction between the rotors…
We provide the general tadpole conditions for a class of supersymmetric orientifold models by studing the general properties of the elements included in the orientifold group. In this talk, we concentrate on orientifold models of the type…
We perform an exhaustive theoretical study of the phase diagram of Cu-I binaries, focusing on Cu-poor compositions, relevant for p-type transparent conduction. We find that the interaction between neighboring Cu vacancies is the determining…
We investigate a spinless Fermi gas trapped in a honeycomb optical lattice with attractive nearest-neighbor interactions. At zero temperature, mean-field theory predicts three quantum phase transitions, two being topological. At low…
While small deformations of K\"ahler manifolds are K\"ahler too, we prove that the cohomological property to be $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-pure-and-full is not a stable condition under small deformations. This property, that has been recently…
In this paper we consider orbifold compactifications of M-theory on $S^1/{\bf Z}_2\times T^4/{\bf Z}_2$. We discuss solutions of the local anomaly matching conditions by twisted vector, tensor and hypermultiplets confined on the local…
We explore the phase structure induced by closed string tachyon condensation of toric nonsupersymmetric conifold-like singularities described by an integral charge matrix $Q=(n_1 n_2 -n_3 -n_4), n_i>0, \sum_i Q_i\neq 0$, initiated in…
