In [13], K. Roth showed that the expected value of the $L^2$ discrepancy of the cyclic shifts of the $N$ point van der Corput set is bounded by a constant multiple of $sqrt{log N}$, thus guaranteeing the existence of a shift with asymptotically minimal $L^2$ discrepancy, [11]. In the present paper, we construct a specific example of such a shift.
The van der Waals heterostructures are a fertile frontier for discovering emergent phenomena in condensed matter systems. They are constructed by stacking elements of a large library of two-dimensional materials, which couple together through van der Waals interactions. However, the number of possible combinations within this library is staggering, and fully exploring their potential is a daunting task. Here we introduce van der Waals metamaterials to rapidly prototype and screen their quantum counterparts. These layered metamaterials are designed to reshape the flow of ultrasound to mimic electron motion. In particular, we show how to construct analogues of all stacking configurations of bilayer and trilayer graphene through the use of interlayer membranes that emulate van der Waals interactions. By changing the membranes density and thickness, we reach coupling regimes far beyond that of conventional graphene. We anticipate that van der Waals metamaterials will explore, extend, and inform future electronic devices. Equally, they allow the transfer of useful electronic behavior to acoustic systems, such as flat bands in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, which may aid the development of super-resolution ultrasound imagers.
In inhomogeneous dielectric media the divergence of the electromagnetic stress is related to the gradients of varepsilon and mu, which is a consequence of Maxwells equations. Investigating spherically symmetric media we show that this seemingly universal relationship is violated for electromagnetic vacuum forces such as the generalized van der Waals and Casimir forces. The stress needs to acquire an additional anomalous pressure. The anomaly is a result of renormalization, the need to subtract infinities in the stress for getting a finite, physical force. The anomalous pressure appears in the stress in media like dark energy appears in the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity. We propose and analyse an experiment to probe the van der Waals anomaly with ultracold atoms. The experiment may not only test an unusual phenomenon of quantum forces, but also an analogue of dark energy, shedding light where nothing is known empirically.
In this article we explicitly describe irreducible trinomials X^3-aX+b which gives all the cyclic cubic extensions of Q. In doing so, we construct all integral points (x,y,z) with GCD(y,z)=1, of the curves X^2+3Y^2 = 4DZ^3 and X^2+27Y^2=4DZ^3 as D varies over cube-free positive integers. We parametrise these points using well known parametrisation of integral points (x,y,z) of the curve X^2+3Y^2=4Z^3 with GCD(y,z)=1.
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. We say that $M$ and $S$ form a textsl{splitting} of $G$ if every nonzero element $g$ of $G$ has a unique representation of the form $g=ms$ with $min M$ and $sin S$, while $0$ has no such representation. The splitting is called textit{purely singular} if for each prime divisor $p$ of $|G|$, there is at least one element of $M$ is divisible by $p$. In this paper, we mainly study the purely singular splittings of cyclic groups. We first prove that if $kge3$ is a positive integer such that $[-k+1, ,k]^*$ splits a cyclic group $mathbb{Z}_m$, then $m=2k$. Next, we have the following general result. Suppose $M=[-k_1, ,k_2]^*$ splits $mathbb{Z}_{n(k_1+k_2)+1}$ with $1leq k_1< k_2$. If $ngeq 2$, then $k_1leq n-2$ and $k_2leq 2n-5$. Applying this result, we prove that if $M=[-k_1, ,k_2]^*$ splits $mathbb{Z}_m$ purely singularly, and either $(i)$ $gcd(s, ,m)=1$ for all $sin S$ or $(ii)$ $m=2^{alpha}p^{beta}$ or $2^{alpha}p_1p_2$ with $alphageq 0$, $betageq 1$ and $p$, $p_1$, $p_2$ odd primes, then $m=k_1+k_2+1$ or $k_1=0$ and $m=k_2+1$ or $2k_2+1$.
The van der Waals quintessence equation of state is an interesting scenario for describing the late universe, and seems to provide a solution to the puzzle of dark energy, without the presence of exotic fluids or modifications of the Friedmann equations. In this work, the construction of inhomogeneous compact spheres supported by a van der Waals equation of state is explored. These relativistic stellar configurations shall be denoted as {it van der Waals quintessence stars}. Despite of the fact that, in a cosmological context, the van der Waals fluid is considered homogeneous, inhomogeneities may arise through gravitational instabilities. Thus, these solutions may possibly originate from density fluctuations in the cosmological background. Two specific classes of solutions, namely, gravastars and traversable wormholes are analyzed. Exact solutions are found, and their respective characteristics and physical properties are further explored.
