The structure of the boundary Hilbert-space and the condition that amplitudes behave appropriately under compositions determine the face amplitude of a spinfoam theory. In quantum gravity the face amplitude turns out to be simpler than originally thought.
We consider stochastic dynamics for a spin system with mean field interaction, in which the interaction potential is subject to noisy and dissipative stochastic evolution. We show that, in the thermodynamic limit and at sufficiently low temperature, the magnetization of the system has a time periodic behavior, despite of the fact that no periodic force is applied
We study the procedure of the reconstruction of phantom-scalar field potentials in two-field
cosmological models. It is shown that, while in the one-field case the chosen cosmological
evolution defines uniquely the form of the scalar potential, in the two-field case one has
an infinite number of possibilities. The classification of a large class of possible
potentials is presented and the dependence of cosmological dynamics on the choice of
initial conditions is investigated qualitatively and numerically for two particular
models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
