Codimension 2 and 3 in a ring cavity with eliptically polarized electromagnetic waves
No full textWe study pattern formation on the plane transverse to propagation direction, in a ring cavity filled with a Kerr-like medium, subject to an elliptically polarized incoming field, by means of two coupled Lugiato–Lefever equations. We consider a wide range of possible values for the coupling parameter between different polarizations, View the MathML source, as may happen in composite materials. Positive and also negative refraction index materials are considered. Examples of marginal instability diagrams are shown. It is shown that, within the model, instabilities cannot be of codimension higher than 3. A method for finding parameters for which codimension 2 or 3 takes place is given. The method allows us to choose parameters for which unstable wavenumbers fulfill different relations. Numerical integration results where different instabilities coexist and compete are shown.Fil: Mártin, Daniel Alejandro. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata.

Speeding up the study of diluted dipolar systems
Full text linkWe study the regimes of a diluted dipolar system through Monte Carlo numerical simulations in the NVT ensemble. To accelerate the dynamics, several approximations and speed-up algorithms are proposed and tested. In particular, it turns out that "cluster move Monte Carlo" algorithm speeds-up to two decades faster than the traditional Monte Carlo, depending on temperature and density. We find simple-fluid, chain-fluid, ring-fluid, gel, and antiparallel columnar regimes, which are studied and characterized through positional, orientational, and thermodynamical observables.Fil: Mártin, Daniel Alejandro.

Effects of discretization on viscosity in the necklace model
Full text linkThe consequences of discretization on the resulting viscosity for the necklace model are analyzed to find out the mechanisms by which this model leads to results different from what could be anticipated. In order to accomplish this, various models of increasing complexity are proposed. First, the effects of the jump distance and temporal discretizations are studied. Then, the lack of proportionality between the length and the mass of the chains and the fact that chains do not perform a random walk are analyzed. Knowing of these influences on the viscosity, we finally address the effect of length fluctuations. It is shown that fluctuations can have unexpected effects that lead to larger or smaller values of viscosity. The simplicity of the studied models allows us to quantify the effects of discretization and fluctuations, effects that can be present in other models of similar or larger complexity.Fil: Mártin, Daniel Alejandro.

Specific Heat Anomaly in a Supercooled Liquid with Amorphous Boundary Conditions
Full text linkWe study the specific heat of a model supercooled liquid confined in a spherical cavity with amorphous boundary conditions. We find the equilibrium specic heat has a cavity-size-dependent peak as a function of temperature. The cavity allows us to perform a finite-size scaling (FSS) analysis, which indicates the peak persists at a finite temperature in the thermodynamic limit. We attempt to collapse the data onto a FSS curve according to different theoretical scenarii, obtaining reasonable results in two cases: a not-so-simple" liquid with nonstandard values of the exponents, and random first-order theory (RFOT), with two different length scales.Fil: Mártin, Daniel Alejandro.

Stability limits for the supercooled liquid and superheated crystal of Lennard-Jones particles
Full text linkWe have studied the limits of stability in the first order liquid-solid phase transition in a Lennard-Jones system by means of the short-time relaxation method and using the bond-orientational order parameter Q6. These limits are compared with the melting line. We have paid special attention to the supercooled liquid, comparing our results with the point where the free energy cost of forming a nucleating droplet goes to zero. We also indirectly estimate the dimension associated to the critical nucleus at the spinodal, expected to be fractal according to mean field theories of nucleation.Fil: Loscar, Ernesto Selim.

Finite-size correlation behavior near a critical point: a simple metric for monitoring the state of a neural network
Full text linkIn this note, a correlation metric κc is proposed which is based on the universal behavior of the linear/logarithmic growth of the correlation length near/far the critical point of a continuous phase transition. The problem is studied on a previously described neuronal network model for which is known the scaling of the correlation length with the size of the observation region. It is verified that the κc metric is maximized for the conditions at which a power law distribution of neuronal avalanches sizes is observed, thus characterizing well the critical state of the network. Potential applications and limitations for its use with currently available optical imaging techniques are discussed.Fil: Aguilar Trejo, Eyisto José.

Jump events in a 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass
Full text linkThe statistical properties of infrequent particle displacements, greater than a certain distance, are known as jump dynamics in the context of structural glass formers. We generalize the concept of a jump to the case of a spin glass, by dividing the system into small boxes, and considering the infrequent cooperative spin flips in each box. Jumps defined this way share similarities with jumps in structural glasses. We perform numerical simulations for the 3D Edwards-Anderson model, and study how the properties of these jumps depend on the waiting time after a quench. Similar to the results for structural glasses, we find that while jump frequency depends strongly on time, the jump duration and jump length are roughly stationary. At odds with some results reported on studies of structural glass formers, at long enough times, the rest time between jumps varies as the inverse of jump frequency. We give a possible explanation for this discrepancy. We also find that our results are qualitatively reproduced by a fully-connected trap model.Fil: Mártin, Daniel Alejandro.

Mean-field solution of the neural dynamics in a Greenberg-Hastings model with excitatory and inhibitory units
No full textWe present a mean-field solution of the dynamics of a Greenberg-Hastings neural network with both excitatory and inhibitory units. We analyze the dynamical phase transitions that appear in the stationary state as the modelparameters are varied. Analytical solutions are compared with numerical simulations of the microscopic model defined on a fully connected network. We found that the stationary state of this system exhibits a first-orderdynamical phase transition (with the associated hysteresis) when the fraction of inhibitory units f is smaller than some critical value f t 1/2, even for a finite system. Moreover, any solution for f f t ), the first-order transition is replaced by a pseudocritical one, namely a continuous crossover between regions of low and high activity that resembles the finite size behavior of a continuous phase transition order parameter. However, in the thermodynamic limit (i.e., infinite-system-size limit), we found that f t → 1/2 and the activity for the inhibition dominated case ( f f t ) becomes negligible for any value of the parameters, while the first-order transition between low- and high-activity phases for f < f t remains.Fil: Almeira, Joaquin.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
