Holographic Description

AbstractWe consider the vacuum partition function of a 4d scalar QFT in a curved background as function of bare marginal and relevant couplings. A local UV cutoff $$\Lambda (x)$$ Λ ( x ) transforming under Weyl rescalings allows to construct Weyl invariant kinetic terms including Wilsonian cutoff functions. The local cutoff can be absorbed completely by a rescaling of the metric and the bare couplings. The vacuum partition function satisfies consistency conditions which follow from the Abelian nature of local redefinitions of the cutoff, and which differ from Weyl rescalings. These imply a gradient flow for beta functions describing the cutoff dependence of rescaled bare couplings. The consistency conditions allow to satisfy all but one Hamiltonian constraints required for a holographic description of the flow of bare couplings with the cutoff.

AbstractA local UV cutoff $$\Lambda (x)$$ Λ ( x ) transforming under Weyl rescalings allows to construct Weyl invariant kinetic terms for scalar fields including Wilsonian cutoff functions. First we consider scalar fields in curved space-time with local bare couplings of any canonical dimension, and anomalous dimensions which describe their dependence on the UV cutoff. The local component of the UV cutoff plays the role of an additional coupling, albeit with a trivial constant $$\beta $$ β function. This approach allows to derive Weyl consistency conditions for the corresponding anomalous dimensions which assume the form of an exact gradient flow. For renormalizable theories the Weyl consistency conditions are initially of the form of an approximate gradient flow for the $$\beta $$ β functions, and we derive conditions under which it becomes the form of an exact gradient flow.

The Common

A special free energy function is defined for a solution in the osmotic equilibrium with pure solvent. The partition function of the solution is derived at the McMillan-Mayer level and it is related to this special function in the same manner as the common partition function of the system to its Helmholtz free energy.

Rotator Phase

It is shown that the formation of the so-called rotator phase of alkanes (one of the high temperature crystalline phases) might be connected with a partial increase of the conformational flexibility of chains. The conformations with higher number of kinks per chain, which have been neglected till now, are shown to contribute effectively to the conformational partition function. Small probability of these states given by the Boltzmann exponent is compensated by a large number of ways in which they can be distributed along the chain. The deduced features of the rotator phase seem to be in agreement with the experimentally observed properties.

Topological Term

The Grassmannian σ model with a topological term is studied on a lattice. The θ dependence of the partition function and the Wilson loop are evaluated in the strong coupling limit. The latter is shown to be independent of the area at θ = π, as in the CPN−1 model.

Total Variation Flow

We present a convergence analysis for a finite difference scheme for the time dependent partial different equation called gradient flow associated with the Rudin-Osher-Fetami model. We devise an iterative algorithm to compute the solution of the finite difference scheme and prove the convergence of the iterative algorithm. Finally computational experiments are shown to demonstrate the convergence of the finite difference scheme.
