Abstract We present a new infinite family of Type IIB backgrounds with an AdS2 factor, preserving $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SUSY. For each member of the family we propose a precise dual Super Conformal Quantum Mechanics (SCQM). We provide holographic expressions for the number of vacua (the “central charge”), Chern-Simons terms and other non-perturbative aspects of the SCQM. We relate the “central charge” of the one-dimensional system with a combination of electric and magnetic fluxes in Type IIB. The Ramond-Ramond fluxes are used to propose an extremisation principle for the central charge. Other physical and geometrical aspects of these conformal quantum mechanics are analysed.

Abstract We present a new infinite family of Type IIB supergravity solutions preserving eight supercharges. The structure of the space is AdS2 × S2 × CY2 × S1 fibered over an interval. These solutions can be related through double analytical continuations with those recently constructed in [1]. Both types of solutions are however dual to very different superconformal quantum mechanics. We show that our solutions fit locally in the class of AdS2 × S2 × CY2 solutions fibered over a 2d Riemann surface Σ constructed by Chiodaroli, Gutperle and Krym, in the absence of D3 and D7 brane sources. We compare our solutions to the global solutions constructed by Chiodaroli, D’Hoker and Gutperle for Σ an annulus. We also construct a cohomogeneity-two family of solutions using non-Abelian T-duality. Finally, we relate the holographic central charge of our one dimensional system to a combination of electric and magnetic fluxes. We propose an extremisation principle for the central charge from a functional constructed out of the RR fluxes.

We describe a method of stabilizing the dominant structure in a chaotic reaction-diffusion system, where the underlying nonlinear dynamics needs not to be known. The dominant mode is identified by the Karhunen-Loeve decomposition, also known as orthogonal decomposition. Using a ionic version of the Brusselator model in a spatially one-dimensional system, our control strategy is based on perturbations derived from the amplitude function of the dominant spatial mode. The perturbation is used in two different ways: A global perturbation is realized by forcing an electric current through the one-dimensional system, whereas the local perturbation is performed by modulating concentrations of the autocatalyst at the boundaries. Only the global method enhances the contribution of the dominant mode to the total fluctuation energy. On the other hand, the local method leads to simple bulk oscillation of the entire system.

Abstract We find a one-dimensional protected subsector of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 matter theories on a general class of three-dimensional manifolds. By means of equivariant localization we identify a dual quantum mechanics computing BPS correlators of the original model in three dimensions. Specifically, applying the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne formula to the original action demonstrates that this localizes on a one-dimensional action with support on the fixed-point submanifold of suitable isometries. We first show that our approach reproduces previous results obtained on S3. Then, we apply it to the novel case of S2× S1 and show that the theory localizes on two noninteracting quantum mechanics with disjoint support. We prove that the BPS operators of such models are naturally associated with a noncom- mutative star product, while their correlation functions are essentially topological. Finally, we couple the three-dimensional theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) surface defects and extend the localization computation to capture the full partition function and BPS correlators of the mixed-dimensional system.

Abstract The spatial positions of individual aerosol particles, cloud droplets, or raindrops can be modeled as a point processes in three dimensions. Characterization of three-dimensional point processes often involves the calculation or estimation of the radial distribution function (RDF) and/or the pair-correlation function (PCF) for the system. Sampling these three-dimensional systems is often impractical, however, and, consequently, these three-dimensional systems are directly measured by probing the system along a one-dimensional transect through the volume (e.g., an aircraft-mounted cloud probe measuring a thin horizontal “skewer” through a cloud). The measured RDF and PCF of these one-dimensional transects are related to (but not, in general, equal to) the RDF/PCF of the intrinsic three-dimensional systems from which the sample was taken. Previous work examined the formal mathematical relationship between the statistics of the intrinsic three-dimensional system and the one-dimensional transect; this study extends the previous work within the context of realistic sampling variability. Natural sampling variability is found to constrain substantially the usefulness of applying previous theoretical relationships. Implications for future sampling strategies are discussed.

We review recent developments in the study of the diffusion reaction system of the type A+B→C in which the reactants are initially separated. We consider the case where the A and B particles are initially placed uniformly in Euclidean space at x>0 and x<0 respectively. We find that whereas for d≥2 a single scaling exponent characterizes the width of the reaction zone, a multiscaling approach is needed to describe the one-dimensional system. We also present analytical and numerical results for the reaction rate on fractals and percolation systems.

Based on the one-dimensional quantum mechanics on (anti)-de Sitter background [W. S. Chung and H. Hassanabadi, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 32, 26 (2107)], we discuss the Ramsauer–Townsend effect. We also formulate the WKB method for the quantum mechanics on (anti)-de Sitter background to discuss the energy level of the quantum harmonic oscillator and quantum bouncer.

In this work we study, by means of numerical simulations, the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the one-dimensional Edwards–Anderson model with long-range interactions of the form ± Jr-α. In the limit α → 0 we recover the well known Sherrington–Kirkpatrick mean-field version of the model, which presents a very complex dynamical behavior. At the other extreme, for α → ∞ the model converges to the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional system. We focus our study on the dependence of the dynamics on the history of the sample (aging phenomena) for different values of α. The model is known to have mean-field exponents already for values of α = 2/3. Our results indicate that the crossover to the dynamic mean-field occurs at a value of α < 2/3.

We investigate a one-dimensional quantum mechanical model, which is invariant under translations and dilations but does not respect the conventional conformal invariance. We describe the possibility of modifying the conventional conformal transformation such that a scale invariant theory is also invariant under this new conformal transformation.
