New 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ dualities from four dimensions
Creators: name: Sacchi, Matteo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose some new infra-red dualities for $2d$ $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ theories. The first one relates a $USp(2N)$ gauge theory with one antisymmetric chiral, four fundamental chirals and $N$ Fermi singlets to a Landau-Ginzburg model of $N$ Fermi and $6N$ chiral fields with cubic interactions. The second one relates $SU(2)$ linear quiver gauge theories of arbitrary length $N-1$ with the addition of $N$ Fermi singlets for any non-negative integer $N$. They can be understood as a generalization of the duality between an $SU(2)$ gauge theory with four fundamental chirals and a Landau-Ginzburg model of one Fermi and six chirals with a cubic interaction. We derive these dualities from already known $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ dualities by compactifications on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with suitable topological twists and we further test them by matching anomalies and elliptic genera. We also show how to derive them by iterative applications of some more fundamental dualities, in analogy with similar derivations for parent dualities in three and four dimensions.

description: Animal movement networks are essential in understanding and containing the spread of infectious diseases in farming industries. Due to its confidential nature, movement data for the US swine farming population is not readily available. Hence, we propose a method to generate such networks from limited data available in the public domain. As a potentially devastating candidate, we simulate the spread of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in our generated network and analyze how the network structure affects the disease spread. We find that high in-degree farm operations (i.e., markets) play critical roles in the disease spread. We also find that high in-degree based targeted isolation and hypothetical vaccinations are more effective for disease control compared to other centrality-based mitigation strategies. The generated networks can be made more robust by validation with more data whenever more movement data will be available.

Semi-Hard Scattering Unraveled from Collective Dynamics by Two-Pion Azimuthal Correlations in 158 A GeV/c Pb + Au Collisions

description: Elliptic flow and two-particle azimuthal correlations of charged hadrons and high-$p_T$ pions ($p_T>$ 1 GeV/$c$) have been measured close to mid-rapidity in 158A GeV/$c$ Pb+Au collisions by the CERES experiment. Elliptic flow ($v_2$) rises linearly with $p_T$ to a value of about 10% at 2 GeV/$c$. Beyond $p_T\approx$ 1.5 GeV/$c$, the slope decreases considerably, possibly indicating a saturation of $v_2$ at high $p_T$. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for $p_T>$ 1.2 GeV/$c$ exceed the elliptic flow values by about 60% in mid-central collisions. These non-flow contributions are attributed to near-side and back-to-back jet-like correlations, the latter exhibiting centrality dependent broadening.

description: Purpose The aim of this study was to extract key learning from intervention studies in which qualitative aspects of dosage, dose form, have been examined for children with developmental language disorder (DLD)—in vocabulary, morphosyntax, and phonology domains. This research paper emerged from a pair of systematic reviews, aiming to synthesize available evidence regarding qualitative and quantitative aspects of dosage. While quantitative aspects had been experimentally manipulated, the available evidence for dose form (tasks or activities within which teaching episodes are delivered) was less definitive. Despite this, the review uncovered insights of value to DLD research.Method A preregistered systematic review (PROSPERO ID: CRD42017076663) adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was completed. Included papers were quasi-experimental, randomized controlled trial, or cohort analytic studies, published in any language between January 2006 and May 2019; oral language interventions with vocabulary, morphosyntax, or phonology outcomes; and participants with DLD (M = 3–18 years). The intention was to include papers in which dose form was experimentally manipulated or statistically analyzed, while quantitative dosage aspects were controlled, such that definitive conclusions about optimal dose form could be drawn and gaps in the evidence identified.Results Two hundred and twenty-four papers met the above inclusion criteria; 27 focused on dose form. No study controlled for all quantitative aspects of dosage such that we could effectively address our original research questions. Despite this, key points of learning emerged with implications for future research.Conclusions There is tentative evidence of advantages for explicit over implicit instruction and of the benefits of variability in input, elicited production, and gestural and other visual supports. With careful design of dose form, there is potential to design more efficient interventions. Speech-language pathology research would benefit from an agreed taxonomy of dose form components and standardized reporting of intervention studies, to enable cross-study comparisons and a systematic accrual of knowledge to identify optimal dose form for clinical application.

description: We give a generic description of a liquid mirror system and summarize some practical information useful to making them. We compare laboratory measurements of deformations, due to the weight of mercury on the container of a 3.7-m mirror and to temperature changes on a 1-m container, to finite element computer simulations. We find that the measurements agree reasonably well with the numerical simulations. The measurements on the 1-m container show no evidence of fatigue after a few thermal cycles. These results validate the computer models of containers described in a companion article.

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: Security and privacy in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) mandates use of short-lived credentials (pseudonyms) and cryptographic key pairs. This implies significant computational overhead for vehicles, needing to validate often numerous such pseudonyms within a short period. To alleviate such a bottleneck that could even place vehicle safety at risk, we propose a proactive pseudonym validation approach based on Bloom Filters (BFs). We show that our scheme could liberate computational resources for other (safety- and time-critical) operations with reasonable communication overhead without compromising security and privacy.

Distributed archiving of social science research data: On the way to best-practice guidelines
Creators: name: Mauer, Reiner

description: Distributed archiving is a common topic for most institutions taking care of research data. Organizational and technical solutions are available. But intellectual input is still necessary to keep creation contexts coherent for third parties. Institutions with similar research interests may hold similar data. The Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) is one example for an international collaboration. The German Data Forum takes care of a national data infrastructure. The connection of metadata is the key to access distributed data sources. Social science data archives commenced work on an XML standard for this purpose in the mid-1990s, the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI). Digital Object and other persistent identifiers (DOI, URN, etc.) facilitate the technical linkage of objects in various locations. But how do you connect qualitative and quantitative data from the same project which are archived in different locations? Where do you best document an international project context if data-sets are preserved in national archives? How does a scholar learn about the variations in data holdings when a full version is accessible through a Research Data Centre and a reduced version is publicly available? These are some of the intellectual challenges for planning distributed services. Answers to these challenges are necessary to assure the cohesion of creation contexts. Best practice guidelines are needed.

description: We report the detection of a fully-resolved, Compton-scattered emission line in the X-ray spectrum of the massive binary GX 301-2 obtained with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The iron K-alpha fluorescence line complex observed in this system consists of an intense narrow component centered at an energy of E = 6.40 keV and a redward shoulder that extends down to ~6.24 keV, which corresponds to an energy shift of a Compton back-scattered iron K-alpha photon. From detailed Monte Carlo simulations and comparisons with the observed spectra, we are able to directly constrain the physical properties of the scattering medium, including the electron temperature and column density, as well as an estimate for the metal abundance.

description: In this paper, we consider the three most general cases of progressive de Sitter spacetime. The charged and magnetic particles tunnel into the magnetically charged Reissner-Nordström de Sitter black hole (the most general case of a static black hole), the Kerr-Newman-Kasuya de Sitter black hole (the most general case of a rotating black hole), and Bardeen de Sitter black hole (black hole without singularities). We use Parikh-Wilczek method to calculate the radiation spectra of these black holes respectively, and find that they deviate from the pure thermal spectra, satisfying the unitary principle. Our results support the conservation of information and are generally true for all asymptotic de Sitter space-times.
A Quasar Microlensing Light Curve Generator for LSST

description: We present a tool to generate mock quasar microlensing light curves and sample them according to any observing strategy. An updated treatment of the fixed and random velocity components of observer, lens, and source is used, together with a proper alignment with the external shear defining the magnification map caustic orientation. Our tool produces quantitative results on high magnification events and caustic crossings, which we use to study three lensed quasars known to display microlensing, viz. RX J1131-1231, HE 0230-2130, and Q 2237+0305, as they would be monitored by The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We conclude that depending on the location on the sky, the lens and source redshift, and the caustic network density, the microlensing variability may deviate significantly than the expected $\sim$20-year average time scale (Mosquera & Kochanek 2011, arXiv:1104.2356). We estimate that $\sim300$ high magnification events with $Δ$mag$>1$ mag could potentially be observed by LSST each year. The duration of the majority of high magnification events is between 10 and 100 days, requiring a very high cadence to capture and resolve them. Uniform LSST observing strategies perform the best in recovering microlensing high magnification events. Our web tool can be extended to any instrument and observing strategy, and is freely available as a service at http://gerlumph.swin.edu.au/tools/lsst_generator/, along with all the related code.

description: We study confinement of matter fields in the effective compact (2+1)-dimensional QED theory of high-$T_{c}$ superconductors. It is shown that the monopole configurations do not affect the propagator of gauge potential $a_μ$. Based on this result, we found that: chiral symmetry breaking and confinement take place simultaneously in the antiferromagnetic state; neither monopole effect nor Anderson-Higgs mechanism can cause confinement in the d-wave superconducting state.

description: We have performed $^{59}$Co NMR measurements of CeCoIn$_5$ down to ultralow temperatures. We find that the temperature dependence of the spin-echo intensity provides a good measure of the sample temperature, enabling us to determine a pulse condition not heating up the sample by the NMR pulses down to ultralow temperatures. From the longitudinal relaxation time ($T_1$) measurements at 5 T applied along the $c$ axis, a pronounced peak in $1/T_1T$ is observed at 20 mK, implying an appearance of magnetic order as suggested by the recent quantum oscillation measurements [H. Shishido {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 120}, 177201 (2018)]. On the other hand, the NMR spectrum shows no change below 20 mK. Moreover, the peak in $1/T_1 T$ disappears at 6 and 8 T in contrast to the results of the quantum oscillation. We discuss that an antiferromagnetic state with a moment lying in the $a$--$b$ plane can be a possible origin for the peak in $1/T_1 T$ at 5 T.

Year: 2013

description: African longitudinal population-based studies have been collecting demographic, socioeconomic and health data for, on average, over a decade. Efforts are currently being made to make these data more sharable. This current study assesses the extent of the implementation of structured data documentation using the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) and other related specifications/ standards. This is done by describing efforts that are currently underway among members of the two main networks uniting these studies. These networks are the INDEPTH (International Network for the continuous Demographic Evaluation of Populations and their Health) and the ALPHA (African longitudinal population-based studies) networks.

description: Poorly understood and articulated requirements have been widely acknowledged as the main contributor for software development problems. A number of studies suggest that a holistic understanding of the concerns (goals and issues) surrounding software development and stakeholders' active participation are two critical factors for the success of requirements engineering. The research as documented in this thesis thus aims to solve the problem by developing and demonstrating a new approach necessary for eliciting, analyzing, and specifying various stakeholders' concerns. The aim has been achieved with the development and demonstration of the Concern-Aware Requirements Engineering (CARE) method. The CARE method was developed by combining goal-oriented, scenario-based, and actor-oriented approach together with a consideration to object-oriented approach. This combination allows the CARE method to provide a novel way to requirements engineering. It is novel in the sense that: (i) it combines goal-oriented, scenario-based, and actor-oriented approach, (ii) it considers object-oriented specification as the reference for final format into which the acquired (elicited, analyzed, and specified) information can potentially be transformed, and (iii) it introduces multidimensional information specification by providing the coverage to describe: multi-feature, multi-description, and multi-domain information. A validation (proof-of-concept) of the CARE method's capability has been conducted by means of demonstration using the Voter Tracking System (VTS) as an example. The demonstration provides a proof-of-concept, provides incentive to study the method further, and illustrates the potential value of combining goal-oriented, scenario-based, and actor-oriented approach, together with an object-oriented approach, for developing a new requirements engineering method for socio-technical systems. A verification of the CARE method's suitability to engineer the requirements of socio-technical systems has also been conducted by means of assessment against the requirements engineering analysis framework. The validation and verification show that the CARE method is capable comprehensively and systematically acquiring (eliciting, analyzing, and specifying) various concerns (goals and issues) surrounding software developments. However, the verification of the CARE method against the principles for designing effective visual notations shows that the CARE method does not employ an effective visual notation. A tool has also been developed as an enabling technology for the CARE method. A web-based platform was selected and an artefacts versioning feature is provided, thus allowing asynchronous collaborative works of geographically distributed team members located in different timezones.

description: We analyze interstellar absorption observed towards two subdwarf O stars, JL 9 and LSS 1274, using spectra taken by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Column densities are measured for many atomic and molecular species (H I, D I, C I, N I, O I, P II, Ar I, Fe II, and H2), but our main focus is on measuring the D/H ratios for these extended lines of sight, as D/H is an important diagnostic for both cosmology and Galactic chemical evolution. We find D/H=(1.00+/-0.37)e-5 towards JL 9, and D/H=(0.76+/-0.36)e-5 towards LSS 1274 (2 sigma uncertainties). With distances of 590+/-160 pc and 580+/-100 pc, respectively, these two lines of sight are currently among the longest Galactic lines of sight with measured D/H. With the addition of these measurements, we see a significant tendency for longer Galactic lines of sight to yield low D/H values, consistent with previous inferences about the deuterium abundance from D/O and D/N measurements. Short lines of sight with H I column densities of log N(H I)<19.2 suggest that the gas-phase D/H value within the Local Bubble is (D/H)_LBg=(1.56+/-0.04)e-5. However, the four longest Galactic lines of sight with measured D/H, which have d>500 pc and log N(H I)>20.5, suggest a significantly lower value for the true local-disk gas-phase D/H value, (D/H)_LDg=(0.85+/-0.09)e-5. One interpretation of these results is that D is preferentially depleted onto dust grains relative to H and that longer lines of sight that extend beyond the Local Bubble sample more depleted material. In this scenario, the higher Local Bubble D/H ratio is actually a better estimate than (D/H)_LDg for the true local-disk D/H, D/H)_LD. However, if (D/H)_LDg is different from (D/H)_LBg simply because of variable astration and incomplete ISM mixing, then (D/H)_LD=(D/H)_LDg.

description: The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) with Knowledge Graphs (KGs) offers significant synergistic potential for knowledge-driven applications. One possible integration is the interpretation and generation of formal languages, such as those used in the Semantic Web, with SPARQL being a core technology for accessing KGs. In this paper, we focus on measuring out-of-the box capabilities of LLMs to work with SPARQL and more specifically with SPARQL SELECT queries applying a quantitative approach.
 We implemented various benchmarking tasks in the LLM-KG-Bench framework for automated execution and evaluation with several LLMs. The tasks assess capabilities along the dimensions of syntax, semantic read, semantic create, and the role of knowledge graph prompt inclusion.
 With this new benchmarking tasks, we evaluated a selection of GPT, Gemini, and Claude models. Our findings indicate that working with SPARQL SELECT queries is still challenging for LLMs and heavily depends on the specific LLM as well as the complexity of the task. While fixing basic syntax errors seems to pose no problems for the best of the current LLMs evaluated, creating semantically correct SPARQL SELECT queries is difficult in several cases.

description: The ghost story narrative haunts us with the subconscious insecurity that an unfamiliar “other” possesses the uncanny ability to reside –undetected– within the familiar space. But who is “other” and who decides? The following thesis is divided into two sections. The former explores theories on abjection, imagination and the developing definition of uncanniness as embodied in film and architecture precedents. The latter is a meditation on the imagined designs of the ghost stories which surround Vancouver’s Dominion Building (207 West Hastings Street). The goal of this body of work is to exorcise the ghost story, transforming uncanniness from a tool of retrospective critique to a method of prospective design. What I’m presenting is an architectural appeal to a compassion for ghosts.
Metadata for Complex Information

description: Researchers create analysis files that are not always based on numeric data. An example would be a database of abortion laws by state and time. US states vary in their abortion regulations: age limits, ultrasound requirements, mandatory waiting periods, etc. Typically, the cornucopia of regulations have been added, modified, deleted over time. And, to complicate matters, sometimes there are jurisdictional variations which may or may not stay constant. Another database would be state-based legislation centered on specific topics and sub-Track, which allows for comparisons over time or across states. A final example that incorporates both data and information would be the yes/no county breakdowns for citizen votes for amendments to state constitutions on a variety of topics. Important information the researcher might collect would be the text of the statute, language on the ballot, source for the vote, legislative vs. citizen-based, year, type of election. Are data documentation initiatives flexible enough to import this type of information? Clearly, the information is structured if it is disseminated via a searchable database. Should social science archives care about preserving these efforts? Would these be considered data under NSF/NIH data sharing legislation?

description: Location-based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for users. However, the information disclosed through each request harms user privacy. This is a concern particularly with honest-but-curious LBS servers, which could, by collecting requests, track users and infer additional sensitive user data. This is the motivation of both centralized and decentralized location privacy protection schemes for LBSs: anonymizing and obfuscating LBS queries to not disclose exact information, while still getting useful responses. Decentralized schemes overcome the disadvantages of centralized schemes, eliminating anonymizers and enhancing users' control over sensitive information. However, an insecure decentralized system could pose even more serious security threats than privacy leakage. We address exactly this problem, by proposing security enhancements for mobile data sharing systems. We protect user privacy while preserving accountability of user activities, leveraging pseudonymous authentication with mainstream cryptography. Our design leverages architectures proposed for large scale mobile systems, while it incurs minimal changes to LBS servers as it can be deployed in parallel to the LBS servers. This further motivates the adoption of our design, in order to cater to the needs of privacy-sensitive users. We provide an analysis of security and privacy concerns and countermeasures, as well as a performance evaluation of basic protocol operations showing the practicality of our design.

description: Spectral positivity is known to be violated by some forms of lattice gauge fixing. The most notable example is lattice Landau gauge, where the effective gluon mass is observed to rise rather than fall with increasing distance. We trace this violation to the use of quenched auxiliary fields in the lattice gauge fixing process, and show that violation of spectral positivity is a general feature of quenching. We illustrate this with a simple quenched mass-mixing model in continuum field theory, and with a quenched form of the Ising model. For lattice gauge fixing associated with Abelian projection and lattice Landau gauge, we show that spectral positivity is violated by processes similar to those found in quenched QCD. For covariant gauges parametrized by a gauge-fixing parameter $α$, the SU(2) gluon propagator is well described by a simple quenched mass-mixing formula. The gluon mass parameter appears to be independent of $α$ for sufficiently large $α$.

Erasmus University Rotterdam's approach to supporting researchers with data management and storage

description: As in other Dutch academic institutions we talked a lot about research data. With cases about fraud within our university and other universities in the Netherlands, policy makers and university boards became more demanding on the university libraries helping out with better storage of research data and educating PhD and young researchers about proper ways of handling their research data. So from talks we had to get into action. We are presently doing so by offering an information course about research data within our already existing Research Matters portal. We also want to offer our researchers a safe environment to store their research data for the mid-long term, 5 to 10 years, and think about solutions for the dataset that needs to be stored indefinitely in the national data archive: DANS. We do a pilot with three types of dataset: experimental, survey and qualitative from researchers of the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) in the Dutch Dataverse Network, hosted by the University of Utrecht. Dataverse Network facility is now being used by four Dutch universities.
Dataverse Network and Open Journal Systems Project to Encourage Data Sharing and Citation in Academic Journals
Creators: name: Castro, Eleni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: As data sharing technology and data management practices have developed over the past decade, academic journals have come under pressure to disseminate the data associated with published articles. Harvard University's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) recently received a two year grant from The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to partner with Stanford University's Public Knowledge Project (PKP) in order to help make data sharing and preservation an intrinsic part of the scholarly publication process, and create awareness specifically among journal editors and publishers. This presentation will provide an overview of the collaboration between PKP's Open Journal Systems (OJS), and IQSS's Dataverse Network (DVN) team who are currently working on building the needed technology that will support seamless publication of research data and articles together; and to support new forms of social science data, readership and analysis. The immediate impact of the project will be to increase the number of readily replicable articles published, and the number of social science journals that adopt best data management and citation practices. The broadest impacts of the project will be to increase the pace of discovery in the social sciences, and to broaden the research opportunities for younger scholars.

description: The phenomenon of metastability can shape dynamical processes on all temporal and spatial scales. Here, we induce metastable dynamics by pumping ultracold bosonic atoms from the lowest band of an optical lattice to an excitation band, via a sudden quench of the unit cell. The subsequent relaxation process to the lowest band displays a sequence of stages, which include a metastable stage, during which the atom loss from the excitation band is strongly suppressed. Using classical-field simulations and analytical arguments, we provide an explanation for this experimental observation, in which we show that the transient condensed state of the atoms in the excitation band is a dark state with regard to collisional decay and tunneling to a low-energy orbital. Therefore the metastable state is stabilized by destructive interference due to the chiral phase pattern of the condensed state. Our experimental and theoretical study provides a detailed understanding of the different stages of a paradigmatic example of many-body relaxation dynamics.

description: We use a large grid of photoionization models that are representative of observed planetary nebulae (PNe) to derive ionization correction factors (ICFs) for sodium, potassium, and calcium. In addition to the analytical expressions of the ICFs, we provide the range of validity where the ICFs can be safely used and an estimate of the typical uncertainties associated with the ICFs. We improved the previous ICFs for calcium and potassium in the literature and suggest for the first time an ICF for sodium. We tested our ICFs with a sample of 39 PNe with emission lines of some ion of these elements. No obvious trend is found between the derived abundances and the degree of ionization, suggesting that our ICFs do not seem to be introducing an artificial bias in the results. The abundances found in the studied PNe range from -2.88$^{+0.21}_{-0.22}$ to -2.09$\pm$0.21 in log(Na/O), from -4.20$^{+0.31}_{-0.45}$ to -3.05$^{+0.26}_{-0.47}$ in log(K/O), and from -3.71$^{+0.41}_{-0.34}$ to -1.57$^{+0.33}_{-0.47}$ in log(Ca/O). These numbers imply that some of the studied PNe have up to 65, 75, or 95 per cent of their Na, K, and/or Ca atoms condensed into dust grains, respectively. As expected, the highest depletions are found for calcium which is the element with the highest condensation temperature.

description: We study the velocity distribution in spherical collapses and cluster-pair collisions by use of N-body simulations. Reflecting the violent gravitational processes, the velocity distribution of the resultant quasi-stationary state generally becomes non-Gaussian. Through the strong mixing of the violent process, there appears a universal non-Gaussian velocity distribution, which is a democratic (equal-weighted) superposition of many Gaussian distributions (DT distribution). This is deeply related with the local virial equilibrium and the linear mass-temperature relation which characterize the system. We show the robustness of this distribution function against various initial conditions which leads to the violent gravitational process. The DT distribution has a positive correlation with the energy fluctuation of the system. On the other hand, the coherent motion such as the radial motion in the spherical collapse and the rotation with the angular momentum suppress the appearance of the DT distribution.

The Research Data Centre (RDC) in the Cloud

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: IT processes in Research Data Centers need extensive administrative resources especially if there is also service for external customers like remote access or remote execution users. Some of those issues could be solved by external cloud services. This means all metadata and research data are shifted from the internal data center to an outside provider who guarantees high service levels, redundancy and availability. Nevertheless the challenge of handing out the data causes legal and technological challenges. This presentation will discuss those implications from scientific and technical sides with the examples of the German situation considering limitations provided by the data protection laws and other regulations. Furthermore, we will also discuss how this change in paradigm and especially the advantages can be communicatednbsp;to data producers, decision makers, research data institutions, data archives and scientists as additionally we predict a lot of mistrust in cloud-based external data hosting.
A Model of Strongly Correlated Electrons with Condensed Resonating-Valence-Bond Ground States

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We propose a new exactly solvable model of strongly correlated electrons. The model is based on a $d$-$p$ model of the CuO$_2$ plane with infinitely large repulsive interactions on Cu-sites, and it contains additional correlated-hopping, pair-hopping and charge-charge interactions of electrons. For even numbers of electrons less than or equal to 2/3-filling, we construct the exact ground states of the model, all of which have the same energy and each of which is the unique ground state for a fixed electron number. It is shown that these ground states are the resonating-valence-bond states which are also regarded as condensed states in which all electrons are in a single two-electron state. We also show that the ground states exhibit off-diagonal long-range order.

description: We study an adaptive network model driven by a nonlinear voter dynamics. Each node in the network represents a voter and can be in one of two states that correspond to different opinions shared by the voters. A voter disagreeing with its neighbor's opinion may either adopt it or rewire its link to another randomly chosen voter with any opinion. The system is studied by means of the pair approximation in which a distinction between the average degrees of nodes in different states is made. This approach allows us to identify two dynamically active phases, a symmetric and an asymmetric one. The asymmetric active phase, in contrast to the symmetric, is characterized by different numbers of nodes in the opposite states that coexist in the network. The pair approximation predicts the possibility of spontaneous symmetry breaking, which leads to a continuous phase transition between the symmetric and the asymmetric active phases. In this case, the absorbing transition occurs between the asymmetric active and the absorbing phases after the spontaneous symmetry breaking. Discontinuous phase transitions and hysteresis loops between both active phases are also possible. Interestingly, the asymmetric active phase is not displayed by the model where the rewiring occurs only to voters sharing the same opinion, studied by other authors. Our results are backed up by Monte Carlo simulations.
