Set Stabilization for Systems with Lie Group Symmetry

John, Tyson 01 January 2011 (has links)
This thesis investigates the set stabilization problem for systems with Lie group symmetry. Initially, we examine left-invariant systems on Lie groups where the target set is a left or right coset of a closed subgroup. We broaden the scope to systems defined on smooth manifolds that are invariant under a Lie group action. Inspired by the solution of this problem for linear time-invariant systems, we show its equivalence to an equilibrium stabilization problem for a suitable quotient control system. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the quotient control system and analyze various properties of such a system. This theory is applied to the formation stabilization of three kinematic unicycles, the path stabilization of a particle in a gravitational field, and the conversion and temperature control of a continuously stirred tank reactor.

We first provide a study case of the competition between antiferromagnetic (AF) and spin liquid phases. The antiferromagnetic state is study with spin-wave theory. Whereas the spin liquid analysis has been carried out in an algebraic spin liquid representation. In the second part, we describe an effective theory for Raman scattering experiments at these particular phases.

Ce travail est divis? en deux parties principales. Dans la premi?re, nous pr?sentons les r?sultats de notre ?tude de la comp?tition entre des ?tats ordonn?s antiferromagn?tiques et des phases liquides de spin. Nous montrons comment ces derni?res peuvent ?tre stabilis?es par la frustration g?om?trique et par une g?n?ralisation de la sym?trie de spin au groupe SU(n). Les ?tats antiferromagn?tiques sont d?crits par une th?orie d?onde de spin et l?analyse de liquide de spin est effectu?e par une repr?sentation fermionique des op?rateurs de spin. Dans la deuxi?me partie, nous d?crivons une th?orie effective pour d?rcrire des exp?riences de diffusion Raman.

Competing Orders in URu2Si2 : from ordered magnetism to spin liquid phases / Ordres en compétition dans URu2Si2 : de l’ordre magnétique aux phases de liquide de spin

Silva de Farias, Carlene Paula 10 April 2017 (has links)
L’objectif central de cette thèse est d’étudier des phases ordonnées en compétition dans des matériaux magnétiques présentant une structure cristalline tétragonale centrée.Ce travail est divisé en deux parties principales. Dans la première, nous présentons les résultats de notre étude de la compétition entre des états ordonnés antiferromagnétiques et des phases liquides de spin. Nous montrons comment ces dernières peuvent être stabilisées par la frustration géométrique et par une généralisation de la symétrie de spinau groupe SU(n). Les états antiferromagnétiques sont décrits par une théorie d’onde despin et l’analyse de liquide de spin est effectuée par une représentation fermionique des opérateurs de spin. Dans la deuxième partie, nous décrivons une théorie effective pour dércrire des expériences de diffusion Raman. Nous fournissons un aperçu de la phase d’ordre caché affichée par le composé de fermions lourds URu2Si2. / The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the competing ordered phases in the metallic heavy fermion compound URu2Si2, which displays a body-centered tetragonallattice.
