Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We introduce a geometric transition between two homogeneous three-dimensional geometries: hyperbolic geometry and anti de Sitter (AdS) geometry. Given a path of three-dimensional hyperbolic structures that collapse down onto a hyperbolic plane, we describe a method for constructing a natural continuation of this path into AdS structures. In particular, when hyperbolic cone manifolds collapse, the AdS manifolds generated on the "other side" of the transition have tachyon singularities. The method involves the study of a new transitional geometry called half-pipe geometry. We also discuss combinatorial/algebraic tools for constructing transitions using ideal tetrahedra. Using these tools we prove that transitions can always be constructed when the underlying manifold is a punctured torus bundle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph represents an extension of the author''s original PhD thesis and includes a more thorough discussion on the concepts and mathematics behind his research works on the foam model, as applied to studying issues of phase stability and elasticity for various non-closed packed structures found in fuzzy and colloidal crystals, as well as on a renormalization-group analysis regarding the critical behavior of loop polymers upon which topological constraints are imposed. The common thread behind these two research works is their demonstration of the importance and effectiveness of utilizing geometrical and topological concepts for modeling and understanding soft systems undergoing phase transitions.

Download or read book Creative transitions and animations in CSS written by Andrés Cruz and published by Andres Cruz. This book was released on with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is intended to carry out experiments or exercises with transitions and animations in CSS, applied to buttons, images, texts and more complete HTML elements; we will see the most basic approach to animations in CSS which would be using transitions, we will see multiple examples and limitations that we have when working with the simplest way to achieve animations in CSS which is the use of transitions. In later chapters we will also work with animations, we will learn about their characteristics, possible configurations, options and modes and with this, we will see a more comprehensive approach to achieving animation in CSS. In this book, we will see more than 100 complete and functional examples of animating HTML elements, we will start by applying CSS transitions on buttons, texts, among others, to get to the animations in which we will create experiments from scratch, adapt the ones we use with transitions, and we will use the transitions and animations together. This is a book to experiment with CSS animations, with this we are going to mention the following: It is not a book that aims to know 100% CSS animations, if not, in a basic/intermediate way; The objective is to experiment and with this, present different templates that we can use to create all kinds of more complex or simply different animations. It is assumed that the reader has at least basic knowledge in the use of CSS. Compared to other books, the approach is mostly hands-on, presenting over 100 experiments to work through and get inspiration for other types of CSS effects. To follow this book you need to have a computer running Windows, Linux, or MacOS. This book has a total of 5 chapters, it is recommended that you read in the order in which they are arranged and as we explain the experiments carried out, go directly to practice, replicate, test and modify the codes that we show in this book. Chapter 1: In this chapter we are going to review geometric transformations, translations and animations in CSS. Chapter 2: In this chapter, we are going to create many examples of CSS transitions applied to buttons, in these examples we will mainly apply geometric transformations, but we will also work with other CSS properties. Chapter 3: In this chapter, we are going to present different examples of CSS effects with the hover event; that is, we will continue using the CSS transitions as we did in the previous chapter; for these examples, we'll use any kind of HTML structure that won't be buttons like in the previous chapter. Chapter 4: In this chapter, we will create various effects using transitions, also, we will see their limitations through several examples that we will analyze in the next chapter using animations to achieve more complete animations. Chapter 5: In this chapter, we will present the use of animations, based on examples, we will see its possible variants, configurations and examples using animations and transitions alike. Chapter 6: In this chapter, we are going to create several experiments using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Book excerpt: We complete the duality cycle by constructing the geometric transition duals in the type IIB, type I and heterotic theories. We show that in the type IIB theory the background on the closed string side is a Kahler deformed conifold, as expected, even though the mirror type IIA backgrounds are non-Kahler (both before and after the transition). On the other hand, the Type I and heterotic backgrounds are non-Kahler. Therefore, on the heterotic side these backgrounds give rise to new torsional manifolds that have not been studied before. We show the consistency of these backgrounds by verifying the torsional equation.

Download or read book Critical States at Phase Transitions of Pure Substances written by Beycan İbrahimoğlu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the conventional pressure-temperature phase diagrams of pure substances, taking into account a universally acknowledged, albeit often neglected, state of matter—the plasma phase. It argues that only the temperature component of the endpoint on the gas-liquid equilibrium curve is critical, not the pressure and volume, which themselves are the corresponding components of the critical temperature. The book features the compiled results of many recent experimental studies on the physical properties of benzene, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, extracting the endpoints of the liquid-solid and solid-gas equilibria and yielding the real critical pressure and volume. These discoveries highlight the position of plasma on the phase diagram and the existence of the equilibrium ionization curve along with it. Detailed knowledge of the plasma state of matter is essential not only in many fields of physics and chemistry but in engineering and industrial applications as well. This book will easily benefit researchers, engineers, and instructors who routinely interact with phase diagrams.
Download or read book Transitions from Digital Communications to Quantum Communications written by Malek Benslama and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the move towards quantum communications, in light of the recent technological developments on photonic crystals and their potential applications in systems. The authors present the state of the art on extensive quantum communications, the first part of the book being dedicated to the relevant theory; quantum gates such as Deutsch gates, Toffoli gates and Dedekind gates are reviewed with regards to their feasibility as electronic circuits and their implementation in systems, and a comparison is performed in parallel with conventional circuits such as FPGAs and DSPs. The specifics of quantum communication are also revealed through the entanglement and Bell states, and mathematical and physical aspects of quantum optical fibers and photonic crystals are considered in order to optimize the quantum transmissions. These concepts are linked with relevant, practical examples in the second part of the book, which presents six integrated applications for quantum communications.

Download or read book Enumerative Invariants in Algebraic Geometry and String Theory written by Marcos Marino and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the middle of the 80s, there has been a growing and fruitful interaction between algebraic geometry and certain areas of theoretical high-energy physics, especially the various versions of string theory. Physical heuristics have provided inspiration for new mathematical definitions (such as that of Gromov-Witten invariants) leading in turn to the solution of problems in enumerative geometry. Conversely, the availability of mathematically rigorous definitions and theorems has benefited the physics research by providing the required evidence in fields where experimental testing seems problematic. The aim of this volume, a result of the CIME Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, in 2005, is to cover part of the most recent and interesting findings in this subject.
Download or read book Elements of Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena written by Hidetoshi Nishimori and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an introductory account of the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, this book reflects lectures given by the authors to graduate students at their departments and is thus classroom-tested to help beginners enter the field. Most parts are written as self-contained units and every new concept or calculation is explained in detail without assuming prior knowledge of the subject. The book significantly enhances and revises a Japanese version which is a bestseller in the Japanese market and is considered a standard textbook in the field. It contains new pedagogical presentations of field theory methods, including a chapter on conformal field theory, and various modern developments hard to find in a single textbook on phase transitions. Exercises are presented as the topics develop, with solutions found at the end of the book, making the text useful for self-teaching, as well as for classroom learning.
Download or read book Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-09-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. No longer an area of specialist interest, it has acquired a central focus in condensed matter studies. The major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field, and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information on important recent developments.The two review articles in this volume complement each other in a remarkable way. Both deal with what might be called the modern geometricapproach to the properties of macroscopic systems. The first article by Georgii (et al.) describes how recent advances in the application ofgeometric ideas leads to a better understanding of pure phases and phase transitions in equilibrium systems. The second article by Alava (et al.)deals with geometrical aspects of multi-body systems in a hands-on way, going beyond abstract theory to obtain practical answers. Thecombination of computers and geometrical ideas described in this volume will doubtless play a major role in the development of statisticalmechanics in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Scale Transitions As Foundations Of Physics written by Ioan Merches and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scale transitions are essential to physical knowledge. The book describes the history of essential moments of physics, viewed as necessary consequences of the unavoidable process of scale transition, and provides the mathematical techniques for the construction of a theoretical physics founded on scale transition. The indispensable mathematical technique is analyticity, helping in the construction of space coordinate systems. The indispensable theoretical technique from physical point of view is the affine theory of surfaces. The connection between the two techniques is provided by a duality in defining the physical properties.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About half a century ago Landau formulated the central principles of the phe nomenological second-order phase transition theory which is based on the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking at phase transition. By means of this ap proach it has been possible to treat phase transitions of different nature in altogether distinct systems from a unified viewpoint, to embrace the aforemen tioned transitions by a unified body of mathematics and to show that, in a certain sense, physical systems in the vicinity of second-order phase transitions exhibit universal behavior. For several decades the Landau method has been extensively used to an alyze specific phase transitions in systems and has been providing a basis for interpreting experimental data on the behavior of physical characteristics near the phase transition, including the behavior of these characteristics in systems subject to various external effects such as pressure, electric and magnetic fields, deformation, etc. The symmetry aspects of Landau's theory are perhaps most effective in analyzing phase transitions in crystals because the relevant body of mathemat ics for this symmetry, namely, the crystal space group representation, has been worked out in great detail. Since particular phase transitions in crystals often call for a subtle symmetry analysis, the Landau method has been continually refined and developed over the past ten or fifteen years.
