Photoinduced topological phase transitions in strained black phosphorus

Photoinduced topological phase transitions (TPTs) in black phosphorous (BP) under compressive strain were investigated by combining Floquet theory and first-principles calculations. Intriguing photo-dressed electronic states including Floquet-Dirac semimetals and Floquet topological insulators have been identified, which can be feasibly engineered by changing the direction, intensity and frequency of incident laser. Remarkably, tunable TPT from type-I to type-II Floquet-Dirac fermions can be realized by irradiating circularly polarized laser (CPL), with an origin rooted in optical Stark effect. Furthermore, the photoinduced Floquet-Dirac phases is shown to host topological surface states that exhibit nonequilibrium electron transport in a direction locked by the helicity of CPL. This work provides useful guidance for experimental observation of Floquet TPTs, and extends optoelectrionic applications of BP to nonequilibrium regime.

Thermodynamics of Schwarzschild-Beltrami-de Sitter Black Hole

In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamical properties of Schwarzschild-Beltrami-de Sitter black hole introduced by Mu-Lin Yan \textit{et al.} in 2013 by introducing inertial Beltrami coordinates to traditional non-inertial Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric which is the exact static spherical symmetry solution of Einstein equation with a positive cosmological constant $Λ$. Based on this new metric, we compute entropy on all horizons and we give the entropy bound of the black hole. Hawking temperatures are calculated by considering a perturbation to entropy relations due to that the spacetime described by this inertial coordinates is no longer a stationary spacetime in which surface gravity related to Hawking temperature is defined well on killing horizon. We also get the Smarr relations and the first law of thermodynamics. We find that the Schwarzschild-Beltrami-de Sitter black hole seems to have similar thermodynamical properties to Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole in the comparison between their corresponding thermodynamical quantities, although the new black hole metric is described by inertial coordinates which exclude the effects of inertial force.

Effects of dark energy on the efficiency of charged AdS black holes as heat engine

In this paper, we study the heat engine where charged AdS black holes surrounded by dark energy is the working substance and the mechanical work is done via $PdV$ term in the first law of black hole thermodynamics in the extended phase space. We first investigate the effects of a kind of dark energy (quintessence field in this paper) on the efficiency of the RN-AdS black holes as heat engine defined as a rectangle closed path in the $P-V$ plane. We get the exact efficiency formula and find that quintessence field can improve the heat engine efficiency which will increase as the field density $ρ_q$ grows. At some fixed parameters, we find that bigger volume difference between the smaller black holes($V_1$) and the bigger black holes($V_2$ ) will lead to a lower efficiency, while the bigger pressure difference $P_1-P_4$ will make the efficiency higher but it is always smaller than 1 and will never be beyond Carnot efficiency which is the maximum value of the efficiency constrained by thermodynamics laws, this is consistent to the heat engine in traditional thermodynamics. After making some special choices for thermodynamical quantities, we find that the increase of electric charge $Q$ and normalization factor $a$ can also promote heat engine efficiency which would infinitely approach the Carnot limit when $Q$ or $a$ goes to infinity.

A local fermion update algorithm for SYM quantum mechanics

We present a local fermion update algorithm for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics which allows simulations in fixed canonical sectors. We discuss some aspects of the physics of this theory, including the appearance of flat directions in the bosonic potential and the metastabilities related to those. In particular, we show that the modulus of the bosonic fields diverges in some of the fermion sectors and for thermal boundary conditions.

Angular Momentum-Free of the Entropy Relations for Rotating Kaluza-Klein Black Holes

Based on a mathematical lemma related to the Vandermonde determinant and two theorems derived from the first law of black hole thermodynamics, we investigate the angular momentum independence of the entropy sum as well as the entropy product of general rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes in higher dimensions. We show that for both non-charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes and non-charged rotating Kaluza-Klein-AdS black holes, the angular momentum of the black holes will not be present in entropy sum relation in dimensions $d\geq4$, while the independence of angular momentum of the entropy product holds provided that the black holes possess at least one zero rotation parameter $a_j$ = 0 in higher dimensions $d\geq5$, which means that the cosmological constant does not affect the angular momentum-free property of entropy sum and entropy product under the circumstances that charge $δ=0$. For the reason that the entropy relations of charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes as well as the non-charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime act the same way, it is found that the charge has no effect in the angular momentum-independence of entropy sum and product in asymptotically flat spactime.

$P-V$ Criticality In the Extended Phase Space of Charged Accelerating AdS Black Holes

In this paper, we investigate the $P-V$ criticality and phase transition of charged accelerating AdS black holes in the extended thermodynamic phase space in analogy between black hole system and Van der Waals liquid-gas system, where the cosmological constant $Λ$ is treated as a thermodynamical variable interpreted as dynamic pressure and its conjugate quantity is the thermodynamic volume of the black holes. When the electric charge vanishes, we find that no $P-V$ criticality will appear but the Hawking-Page like phase transition will be present, just as what Schwarzschild-AdS black holes behave like. For the charged case, the $P-V$ criticality appears and the accelerating black holes will undergo a small black hole/large phase transition under the condition that the acceleration parameter $A$ and the horizon radius $r_h$ meet a certain simple relation $A r_h=a$, where $a$ is a constant in our discussion. To make $P-V$ criticality appear, there exists an upper bounds for constant $a$. When $P-V$ criticality appears, we calculate the critical pressure $P_{c}$, critical temperature $T_{c}$ and critical specific volume $r_{c}$, and we find that $\frac{P_{c}r_{c}}{T_{c}}$ is an universal number.

Angular Momentum Independence of the Entropy Sum and Entropy Product for AdS Rotating Black Holes In All Dimensions

In this paper, we investigate the angular momentum independence of the entropy sum and product for AdS rotating black holes based on the first law of thermodynamics and a mathematical lemma related to Vandermonde determinant. The advantage of this method is that the explicit forms of the spacetime metric, black hole mass and charge are not needed but the Hawking temperature and entropy formula on the horizons are necessary for static black holes, while our calculations require the expressions of metric and angular velocity formula. We find that the entropy sum is always independent of angular momentum for all dimensions and the angular momentum-independence of entropy product only holds for the dimensions $d>4$ with at least one rotation parameter $a_i=0$, while the mass-free of entropy sum and entropy product for rotating black holes only stand for higher dimensions ($d>4$) and for all dimensions, respectively. On the other hand, we find that the introduction of a negative cosmological constant does not affect the angular momentum-free of entropy sum and product but the criterion for angular momentum-independence of entropy product will be affected.

Universal entropy relations: entropy formulae and entropy bound

We survey the applications of universal entropy relations in black holes with multi-horizons. In sharp distinction to conventional entropy product, the entropy relationship here not only improve our understanding of black hole entropy but was introduced as an elegant technique trick for handling various entropy bounds and sum. Despite the primarily technique role, entropy relations have provided considerable insight into several different types of gravity, including massive gravity, Einstein-Dilaton gravity and Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We present and discuss the results for each one.

Canonical simulations of supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics

The fermion loop formulation naturally separates partition functions into their canonical sectors. Here we discuss various strategies to make use of this for supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics obtained from dimensional reduction in various dimensions and present numerical results for the separate canonical sectors with fixed fermion numbers. We comment on potential problems due to the sign of the contributions from the fermions and due to flat directions.

Effects of pion potential and nuclear symmetry energy on the $π^{-}/π^{+}$ ratio in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies around the pion production threshold

Within the framework of the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck(IBUU) transport model, we studied the effects of the pion potential and the symmetry energy on the pion production in the central $^{197}Au+^{197}Au$ collisions around the pion production threshold. It is found that the pion potential has opposite effects on the value of $π^-/π^+$ ratio at low and high pion energies. The effect of the pion potential on the total $π^-/π^+$ ratio becomes larger in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies below the pion production threshold. And at beam energies below the pion production threshold, with the pion potential, the effect of the symmetry energy on the $π^-/π^+$ ratio becomes smaller compared with that above the pion production threshold.

On K_2 of certain families of curves

We construct families of smooth, proper, algebraic curves in characteristic 0, of arbitrary genus g, together with g elements in the kernel of the tame symbol. We show that those elements are in general independent by a limit calculation of the regulator. Working over a number field, we show that in some of those families the elements are integral. We determine when those curves are hyperelliptic, finding, in particular, that over any number field we have non-hyperelliptic curves of all composite genera g with g independent integral elements in the kernel of the tame symbol.

Low-energy Scattering of $(D\bar{D}^{*})^\pm$ System And the Resonance-like Structure $Z_c(3900)$

In this exploratory lattice study, low-energy scattering of the $(D\bar{D}^{*})^\pm$ meson system is analyzed using lattice QCD with $N_f=2$ twisted mass fermion configurations with three pion mass values. The calculation is performed within single-channel Lüscher's finite-size formalism. The threshold scattering parameters, namely the scattering length $a_0$ and the effective range $r_0$, for the $s$-wave scattering in $J^P=1^+$ channel are extracted. For the cases in our study, the interaction between the two charmed mesons is weakly repulsive. Our lattice results therefore do not support the possibility of a shallow bound state for the two mesons for the pion mass values we studied. This calculation provides some useful information on the nature of the newly discovered resonance-like structure $Z_c(3900)$ by various experimental groups.

Constraints on symmetry energy and nucleon effective mass splitting with Heavy Ion Collisions

A new version of the improved quantum molecular dynamics model has been developed to include standard Skyrme interactions. Four commonly used Skyrme parameter sets, SLy4, SkI2, SkM* and Gs are adopted in the transport model code to calculate the isospin diffusion observables as well as single and double ratios of transverse emitted nucleons. While isospin diffusion observables are sensitive to the symmetry energy term, they are not very sensitive to the nucleon effective mass splitting parameters in the interactions. Our calculations show that the high energy neutrons and protons and their ratios from reactions at different incident energies provide a robust observable to study the momentum dependence of the nucleon effective mass splitting. However the sensitivity of effective mass splitting effect on the n/p yield ratios decreases with increasing beam energy, even though high energy proton and neutron are produced more abundantly at high beam energy. Our calculations show that the optimum incident energy to study nucleon effective masses is between 100-200 MeV per nucleon.

The Influence of in-medium NN cross-sections, symmetry potential and impact parameter on the isospin observables

We explore the influence of in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section, symmetry potential and impact parameter on isospin sensitive observables in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions with the ImQMD05 code, a modified version of Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. At incident velocities above the Fermi velocity, we find that the density dependence of symmetry potential plays a more important role on the double neutron to proton ratio $DR(n/p)$ and the isospin transport ratio $R_i$ than the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections, provided that the latter are constrained to a fixed total NN collision rate. We also explore both $DR(n/p)$ and $R_i$ as a function of the impact parameter. Since the copious production of intermediate mass fragments is a distinguishing feature of intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions, we examine the isospin transport ratios constructed from different groups of fragments. We find that the values of the isospin transport ratios for projectile rapidity fragments with $Z\ge20$ are greater than those constructed from the entire projectile rapidity source. We believe experimental investigations of this phenomenon can be performed. These may provide significant tests of fragmentation time scales predicted by ImQMD calculations.

Radiative transitions in charmonium from $N_f=2$ twisted mass lattice QCD

We present a study for charmonium radiative transitions: $J/ψ\rightarrowη_cγ$, $χ_{c0}\rightarrow J/Ψγ$ and $h_c\rightarrowη_cγ$ using $N_f=2$ twisted mass lattice QCD gauge configurations. The single-quark vector form factors for $η_c$ and $χ_{c0}$ are also determined. The simulation is performed at a lattice spacing of $a= 0.06666$ fm and the lattice size is $32^3\times 64$. After extrapolation of lattice data at nonzero $Q^2$ to 0, we compare our results with previous quenched lattice results and the available experimental values.

More on volume dependence of spectral weight function

Spectral weight functions are easily obtained from two-point correlation functions and they might be used to distinguish single-particle from multi-particle states in a finite-volume lattice calculation, a problem crucial for many lattice QCD simulations. In previous studies, it is shown that the spectral weight function for a broad resonance shares the typical volume dependence of a two-particle scattering state i.e. proportional to $1/L^3$ in a large cubic box of size $L$ while the narrow resonance case requires further investigation. In this paper, a generalized formula is found for the spectral weight function which incorporates both narrow and broad resonance cases. Within Lüscher's formalism, it is shown that the volume dependence of the spectral weight function exhibits a single-particle behavior for a extremely narrow resonance and a two-particle behavior for a broad resonance. The corresponding formulas for both $A^+_1$ and $T^-_1$ channels are derived. The potential application of these formulas in the extraction of resonance parameters are also discussed.

Isospin fractionation in the nucleon emissions and fragment emissions in the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

The degree of isospin fractionation is measured by $(N/Z)_{n}$ / $(N/Z)_{N_{imf}}$, where $(N/Z)_{n}$ and $(N/Z)_{N_{imf}}$ are the saturated neutron-proton ratio of nucleon emissions (gas phase) and that of fragment emissions (liquid phase) in heavy ion collision at intermediate energy . The calculated results by using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model show that the degree of isospin fractionation is sensitive to the neutron-proton ratio of colliding system but insensitive to the difference between the neutron-proton ratio of target and that of projectile. In particular, the degree of isospin fractionation sensitively depends on the symmetry potential. However its dependences on the isospin dependent in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross section and momentum dependent interaction are rather weak. The nucleon emission (gas phase) mainly determines the dynamical behavior of the degree of isospin fractionation in the isospin fractionation process, compared to the effect of fragment emission. In this case, we propose that $(N/Z)_{n}$ / $(N/Z)_{N_{imf}}$ or $(N/Z)_{n}$ can be directly compared with the experimental data so that the information about symmetry potential can be obtained
