We investigate the critical behavior near the thermodynamically stable boundary for the rotating D3-, M5- and M2-branes. The static scaling laws are found to hold. The critical exponents characterizing the scaling behaviors of susceptibilities are the same and all equal 1/2 in all cases. Using the scaling laws related to the correlation functions, we predict the critical exponents of the two-point correlation function of the corresponding conformal fields. We find that the stable boundary is shifted in the different ensembles and there does not exist the stable boundary in the canonical ensemble for the rotating M2-branes.

Abstract We present a method for calculating event shapes in QCD based on correlation functions of conserved currents. The method has been previously applied to the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, but we demonstrate that supersymmetry is not essential. As a proof of concept, we consider the simplest example of a charge-charge correlation at one loop (leading order). We compute the correlation function of four electromagnetic currents and explain in detail the steps needed to extract the event shape from it. The result is compared to the standard amplitude calculation. The explicit four-point correlation function may also be of interest for the CFT community.

We review the recent progress on the construction of the determinant representations of the correlation functions for the integrable supersymmetric fermion models. The factorizing F-matrices (or the so-called F-basis) play an important role in the construction. In the F-basis, the creation (and the annihilation) operators and the Bethe states of the integrable models are given in completely symmetric forms. This leads to the determinant representations of the scalar products of the Bethe states for the models. Based on the scalar products, the determinant representations of the correlation functions may be obtained. As an example, in this review, we give the determinant representations of the two-point correlation function for the Uq(gl(2|1)) (i.e. q-deformed) supersymmetric t-J model. The determinant representations are useful for analyzing physical properties of the integrable models in the thermodynamical limit.

We derive explicit forms of the two-point correlation functions of the O(N) nonlinear sigma model at the critical point, in the large-N limit, on various three-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature. The two-point correlation function, G(x, y), is the only n-point correlation function which survives in this limit. We analyze the short distance and long distance behaviors of G(x, y). It is shown that G(x, y) decays exponentially with the Riemannian distance on the spaces R2×S1, S1×S1×R, S2×R, H2×R. The decay on R3 is of course a power law. We show that the scale for the correlation length is given by the geometry of the space and therefore the long distance behavior of the critical correlation function is not necessarily a power law even though the manifold is of infinite extent in all directions; this is the case of the hyperbolic space where the radius of curvature plays the role of a scale parameter. We also verify that the scalar field in this theory is a primary field with weight [Formula: see text]; we illustrate this using the example of the manifold S2×R whose metric is conformally equivalent to that of R3–{0} up to a reparametrization.

We have investigated the scale-invariant solutions of the BBGKY equations for spatial correlation functions of cosmological density fluctuations and the mean relative peculiar velocity in the strongly nonlinear regime. It is found that the solutions for the mean relative physical velocity depend on the three-point spatial correlation function and the skewness of the velocity fields. We find that the stable condition in which the mean relative physical velocity vanishes on the virialized regions is satisfied only under the assumptions which Davis & Peebles took in there paper. It is found, however, that their assumptions may not be general in real. The power index of the two-point correlation function in the strongly nonlinear regime depends on the mean relative peculiar velocity, the three-point correlation function and the skewness. If self-similar solutions exist, then the power index in the strongly nonlinear regime is related to the power index of the initial power spectrum and its relation depends on the three-point correlation function and the skewness through the mean relative peculiar velocity. We also investigate stability of the solutions of the BBGKY equations for two-point spatial correlation functions. In the case that the background skewness is equal to 0, we found that there is no local instability in the strongly non-linear regime.

ABSTRACT The use of summary statistics beyond the two-point correlation function to analyse the non-Gaussian clustering on small scales, and thereby, increasing the sensitivity to the underlying cosmological parameters, is an active field of research in cosmology. In this paper, we explore a set of new summary statistics – the k-Nearest Neighbour Cumulative Distribution Functions (kNN-CDF). This is the empirical cumulative distribution function of distances from a set of volume-filling, Poisson distributed random points to the k-nearest data points, and is sensitive to all connected N-point correlations in the data. The kNN-CDF can be used to measure counts in cell, void probability distributions, and higher N-point correlation functions, all using the same formalism exploiting fast searches with spatial tree data structures. We demonstrate how it can be computed efficiently from various data sets – both discrete points, and the generalization for continuous fields. We use data from a large suite of N-body simulations to explore the sensitivity of this new statistic to various cosmological parameters, compared to the two-point correlation function, while using the same range of scales. We demonstrate that the use of kNN-CDF improves the constraints on the cosmological parameters by more than a factor of 2 when applied to the clustering of dark matter in the range of scales between 10 and $40\, h^{-1}\, {\rm Mpc}$. We also show that relative improvement is even greater when applied on the same scales to the clustering of haloes in the simulations at a fixed number density, both in real space, as well as in redshift space. Since the kNN-CDF are sensitive to all higher order connected correlation functions in the data, the gains over traditional two-point analyses are expected to grow as progressively smaller scales are included in the analysis of cosmological data, provided the higher order correlation functions are sensitive to cosmology on the scales of interest.

We consider the time evolution of two-point correlation function in the transverse-field Ising chain (TFIC) with ring frustration. The time-evolution procedure we investigated is equivalent to a quench process in which the system is initially prepared in a classical kink state and evolves according to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Within a framework of perturbative theory (PT) in the strong kink phase, the evolution of the correlation function is disclosed to demonstrate a qualitatively new behavior in contrast to the traditional case without ring frustration.

Subsamples of galaxies with different morphological types have been sorted out from Stromlo-APM redshift survey. Two-point correlation function for each subsample has been calculated. The two-point correlation functions for all subsamples show very large scale fluctuation. We show that the two-point correlation function with fluctuation could be fitted by a modified power spectrum with power excess at wave number comparable to the scale of the fluctuation.

Since the discovery of the Universe’s expansion in 1998, studying its cause has been one of the main interests in cosmology. Today the simplest model that describes our Universe is known as LCDM where dark energy dominates 70% of the Universe’s total energy density. The discovery of 1998 motivated great advances in technology and the construction of telescopes, enabling modern cosmology to reach a “era of precision measurements”. Studying the distribution of galaxies in the observed Universe is a powerful tool to understanding our Universe’s dynamics and correlation functions have long since been used to study these distributions. In this project I study concepts of modern cosmology and statistics in order to be introduced to the two-point correlation function estimated from a catalog of galaxies to test cosmological models, such as the LCDM. The first part of this study was to compare different estimators of the two-point correlation function. In the second part, using the measurements of the first part, I will constrain cosmological parameters that dictate the dynamics of our Universe.
