QCD One-Loop Effective Coupling Constant and Quark Mass Given in a Mass-Dependent Renormalization

The QCD one-loop renormalization is restudied in a mass-dependent subtraction scheme in which the quark mass is not set to vanish and the renormalization point is chosen to be an arbitrary time-like momentum. The correctness of the subtraction is ensured by the Ward identities which are respected in all the processes of subtraction.By considering the mass effect, the effective coupling constant and the effective quark masses derived by solving the renormalization group equations are given in improved expressions which are different from the previous results.PACS numbers: 11.10.Gh, 11.10.Hi, 12.38.-t, 12.38.

Study on the critical stress threshold of weakly cemented sandstone damage based on the renormalization group method

During the microstructural analysis of weakly cemented sandstone,the granule components and ductile structural parts of the sandstone are typically generalized.Considering the contact between granules in the microstructure of weakly cemented sandstone,three basic units can be determined:regular tetrahedra,regular hexahedra,and regular octahedra.Renormalization group models with granule-and pore-centered weakly cemented sandstone were established,and,according to the renormalization group transformation rule,the critical stress threshold of damage was calculated.The results show that the renormalization model using regular octahedra as the basic units has the highest critical stress threshold.The threshold obtained by iterative calculations of the granule-centered model is smaller than that obtained by the pore-centered model.The granule-centered calculation provides the lower limit(18.12%),and the pore-centered model provides the upper limit(36.36%).Within this range,the weakly cemented sandstone is in a phase-like critical state.That is,the state of granule aggregation transforms from continuous to discrete.In the relative stress range of 18.12%-36.36%,the weakly cemented sandstone exhibits an increased proportion of high-frequency signals(by 83.3%)and a decreased proportion of low-frequency signals(by 23.6%).The renormalization calculation results for weakly cemented sandstone explain the high-low frequency conversion of acoustic emission signals during loading.The research reported in this paper has important significance for elucidating the damage mechanism of weakly cemented sandstone.

Renormalizable Quantum Gauge Theory of Gravity

The quantum gravity is formulated based on the principle of local gauge invariance. The model discussedin this paper has local gravitational gauge symmetry, and gravitational field is represented by gauge field. In the leading-order approximation, it gives out classical Newton's theory of gravity. In the first-order approximation and for vacuum,it gives out Einstein's general theory of relativity. This quantum gauge theory of gravity is a renormalizable quantumtheory.

Gauge Dependence of On-Shell and Pole Mass Renormalization Prescriptions

We discuss the gauge dependence of physical parameter＇s definitions under the on-shell and the pole mass renormalization prescriptions. By two-loop-level calculations we prove for the first time that the on-shell mass renormalization prescription makes physical result gauge dependent. On the other hand, such the gauge-dependence does not appear in the result of the pole mass renormalization prescription. Our calculation also shows the gauge dependence induced by the on-shell mass renormalization prescription cannot be neglected at two-loop level.

Derivation of a second-order model for Reynolds stress using renormalization group analysis and the two-scale expansion technique

With the two-scale expansion technique proposed by Yoshizawa,the turbulent fluctuating field is expanded around the isotropic field.At a low-order two-scale expansion,applying the mode coupling approximation in the Yakhot-Orszag renormalization group method to analyze the fluctuating field,the Reynolds-average terms in the Reynolds stress transport equation,such as the convective term,the pressure-gradient-velocity correlation term and the dissipation term,are modeled.Two numerical examples：turbulent flow past a backward-facing step and the fully developed flow in a rotating channel,are presented for testing the efficiency of the proposed second-order model.For these two numerical examples,the proposed model performs as well as the Gibson-Launder （GL） model,giving better prediction than the standard k-ε model,especially in the abilities to calculate the secondary flow in the backward-facing step flow and to capture the asymmetric turbulent structure caused by frame rotation.

RENORMALIZED SOLUTIONS OF ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS WITH ROBIN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In the present paper, we consider elliptic equations with nonlinear and nonlao mogeneous Robin boundary conditions of the type {-div（B（x,u）△u） = f in Ω,u=0 on Гo, B（x,u）Vu·n^-＋γ（x）h（u） = 9 on Г1,where f and g are the element of L^1（Ω） and L^1（Г1）, respectively. We define a notion of renormalized solution and we prove the existence of a solution. Under additionM assumptions on the matrix field B we show that the renormalized solution is unique.

This paper uses the background field method to calculate one-loop divergent corrections to the gauge field propa- gators in noncommutative U（1） gauge theory with scalar fields. It shows that for a massless scalar field, the gauge field propagators are renormalizable to 02-order, but for a massive scalar field they are renormalizable only to O-order.

Renormalization of the chemical potential due to multiphonon effects at the surface of metals

We study the relation between renormalization of the chemical potential due to multiphonon effects at the surface of Be（0001） and doping by solving the strong-coupling self-consistent equations of a two-dimensional（2D） electron-phonon interaction system.We present the quasiparticle dispersions and inverse lifetimes of a 2D electron system interacting with Einstein phonons under the different dopings（corresponding to chemical potentials）.We find that the effect of electron-phonon interaction on electron structure is strongest at the half filling,but it has no effect on the chemical potential.However,the chemical potential shows distinct renormalization effects away from half filling due to the electron-phonon interaction.

Renormalization group methods for a Mathieu equation with delayed feedback

This paper presents the application of the renormalization group （RG） methods to the delayed differential equation. By analyzing the Mathieu equation with time delay feedback, we get the amplitude and phase equations, and then obtain the approximate solutions by solving the corresponding RG equations. It shows that the approximate solutions obtained from the RG method are superior to those from the conventionally perturbation methods.

First-principles study of the bandgap renormalization and optical property ofβ-LiGaO_(2)

Theβ-LiGaO_(2)with an orthorhombic wurtzite-derived structure is a candidate ultrawide direct-bandgap semiconductor.In this work,using the non-adiabatic Allen-Heine-Cardona approach,we investigate the bandgap renormalization arising from electron-phonon coupling.We find a sizable zero-point motion correction of-0.362 eV to the gap atΓ,which is dominated by the contributions of long-wavelength longitudinal optical phonons.The bandgap ofβ-LiGaO_(2)decreases monotonically with increasing temperature.We investigate the optical spectra by comparing the model Bethe-Salpether equation method with the independent-particle approximation.The calculated optical spectra including electron-hole interactions exhibit strong excitonic effects,in qualitative agreement with the experiment.The contributing interband transitions and the binding energy for the excitonic states are analyzed.

Evaluating First-Order Molecular Properties of Delocalized Ionic or Excited States in Molecular Aggregates by Renormalized Excitonic Method

In the past few years,the renormalized excitonic model(REM)approach was developed as an efficient low-scaling ab initio excited state method,which assumes the low-lying excited states of the whole system are a linear combination of various single monomer excitations and utilizes the effective Hamiltonian theory to derive their couplings.In this work,we further extend the REM calculations for the evaluations of first-order molecular properties(e.g.charge population and transition dipole moment)of delocalized ionic or excited states in molecular aggregates,through generalizing the effective Hamiltonian theory to effective operator representation.Results from the test calculations for four different kinds of one dimensional(1D)molecular aggregates(ammonia,formaldehyde,ethylene and pyrrole)indicate that our new scheme can efficiently describe not only the energies but also wavefunction properties of the low-lying delocalized electronic states in large systems.

Real-Space Renormalization Group Approach of the Potts Model on the Octagonal Quasi-Periodic Tiling

A one step real space renormalization group(RSRG)transformation is used to study the ferromagnetic(FM)Potts model on the two dimemsional (2D) octagonal quasi periodic tiling(OQT). The critical exponents of the correlation length in the q =1,2,3,4 cases and the crtitical surface of the Ising model are obtained. The results are discussed by comparing with previous results on the OQT and the square lattice(SQL).

Real-space parallel density matrix renormalization group with adaptive boundaries

We propose an improved real-space parallel strategy for the density matrix renormalization group(DMRG)method,where boundaries of separate regions are adaptively distributed during DMRG sweeps.Our scheme greatly improves the parallel efficiency with shorter waiting time between two adjacent tasks,compared with the original real-space parallel DMRG with fixed boundaries.We implement our new strategy based on the message passing interface(MPI),and dynamically control the number of kept states according to the truncation error in each DMRG step.We study the performance of the new parallel strategy by calculating the ground state of a spin-cluster chain and a quantum chemical Hamiltonian of the water molecule.The maximum parallel efficiencies for these two models are 91%and 76%in 4 nodes,which are much higher than the real-space parallel DMRG with fixed boundaries.

In this paper, it is proved that for any given d non-degenerate local minimum points of the renormalized energy of weighted Ginzburg-Landau eqautions, one can find solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations whose vortices tend to these d points. This provides the connections between solutions of a class of Ginzburg-Landau equations with weight and minimizers of the renormalized energy.
