Previous issue date: 2012-11-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This monograph presents the study of vortices BPS in a model obtained by dimensional reduction of the (1+3)−D Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw-Higgs s electrodynamics to (1+2)−D.
The Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw-Higgs model is defined by the following Lagrangian density L1+3 = −14FμνFμν −14 ϵμνκλ (kAF )μ AνFκλ + |Dμϕ|2 − V (|ϕ|), the first two terms constitute the CPT-odd electrodynamics of the standard model extension
(SME). The term ϵμνκλ (kAF )μ AνFκλ is called the Carroll-Field-Jackiw s term. The dimensional reduction of this model is given by the following Lagrangian density L1+2 = − 14FμνFμν +s4
ϵμνκAμFνκ +12∂μψ∂μψ −12ϵμνκ (kAF )μ ψ∂νAκ−12 ϵμκν (kAF )μ Aκ∂νψ + |Dμϕ|2 − e2ψ2 |ϕ|2 − V (|ϕ|2 , ψ), it is observed that if (kAF )μ = 0 we obtain the Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs (MCSH) model. This way, our planar model is a MCSH model modified by an interaction between the gauge field
Aμ and the neutral scalar field ψ whose coupling constant is (kAF )μ, the Lorentz-violating vector field background. The existence of stable BPS v´ortices implies in a null (kAF )0 component. The study shows that the influence of the Lorentz violation is clearly manifested when the vortex s winding number is greater than 1. / Esta dissertação apresenta o estudo de vórtices BPS num modelo obtido pela redução dimensional da eletrodinâmica de Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw-Higgs de (1+3)-dimensões para
(1+2)-D. A densidade lagrangiana do modelo de Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw-Higgs é definido por L1+3 = −14 FμνFμν − 14
ϵμνκλ (kAF )μ AνFκλ + |Dμϕ|2 − V (|ϕ|), os dois primeiros termos constituem a eletrodin amica CPT- ímpar do modelo padrão estendido (SME). O termo ϵμνκλ (kAF )μ AνFκλ é o chamado termo de Carroll-Field-Jackiw. A redução dimensional deste modelo é dado pela seguinte densidade lagrangiana L1+2 = − 14 FμνFμν + s4 ϵμνκAμFνκ + 12 ∂μψ∂μψ −12 ϵμνκ (kAF )μ ψ∂νAκ − 12 ϵμκν (kAF)μ Aκ∂νψ + |Dμϕ|2 − e2ψ2 |ϕ|2 − V (|ϕ|2 , ψ), observamos que se (kAF)μ = 0 se obtém o modelo de Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs (MCSH). Desse modo o modelo planar representa um modelo de MCSH modificado por uma interação entre o campo de gauge Aμ e o campo neutro ψ cuja constante de acoplamento é (kAF )μ, o campo de fundo vetorial portador dos efeitos da violação de Lorentz. Impondo que a componente (kAF)0 seja nula é possível estabelecer soluções estáveis tipo vórtices BPS. O estudo mostra que a influência da violação de Lorentz é manifesta claramente quando o winding number do vórtice é maior que 1.

Previous issue date: 2013-04-30 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / We study the existence of Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen-like BPS vortices in the context of the Standard Model Extension (SME). Specifically, we analyze the Maxwell-Higgs model supplemented by Lorentz-violating (LV) terms in both sectors. The LV terms of the Higgs sector are CPT-even, on the other hand, the gauge sector includes CPT-even and CPT-odd LV terms. One important consequence is the effect of the LV coefficients of the Higgs sector on the magnetic flux, it now is fractional. Among other effects, the LV coefficients are accounted by the control of the amplitude and the spatial extension of the topological defects. The first model analyzed includes a Lorentz-violating CPT-odd or Carroll-Field-Jackiw term in the gauge sector. The BPS equations under appropriated coordinate rescaling and field redefinition are the ones of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs (MCSH) model. However, the difference appears in Gauss s law which contains a parameter dependent on LV coefficients of the Higgs sector. Such parameter when fixed to be 1 reproduces the Gauss law of the MCSH model. The second model
studied contains the LV CPT-even term in the electromagnetic sector. It provides a new class of BPS vórtices. Here the parity-odd coefficients couple the magnetic and electric sectors yet in stationary regimen. Then, with the appropriate BPS potential the model engenders electrically charged BPS vórtices. This new BPS vortex solutions also supports electric field inversion and localized magnetic flux reversion. / Estudamos a existência de vórtices BPS tipo Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen no contexto do Modelo Padrão Estendido (MPE). Especialmente, analisamos o modelo de Maxwell-Higgs suplementado por temos de violação de Lorentz (VL) em ambos os setores. Os termos de VL no setor de Higgs são CPT-par, por outro lado, o setor de gauge inclui termos de VL CPT-par
e CPT-ímpar. Uma consequência importante do efeito dos coeficientes de VL do setor de Higgs é a fracionalização do fluxo magnético. Além de outros efeitos, os coeficientes de VL
são responsáveis por controlar a amplitude e a extensão espacial dos defeitos topológicos. O primeiro modelo estudado inclui o termo CPT-ímpar de violação de Lorentz, ou termo de
Carroll-Field-Jackiw no setor de gauge. As equações BPS, após uma transformação de escala nas coordenadas e uma redefinição apropriada dos campos, coincidem com as equações BPS para o modelo de Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs. A diferen¸ca aparece na lei de Gauss, a qual contem um parâmetro dependendo dos coeficientes de VL do setor de Higgs. Quando este parâmetro é fixado no valor 1, reproduzimos a lei de Gauss do modelo de MCSH. O segundo
modelo estudado contem o termo de viola¸c ao de Lorentz CPT-par no setor eletromagnético. Este termo provê uma nova classe de vórtices topológicos. Neste caso os coeficientes de paridade ímpar acoplam os setores elétrico e magnético ainda no regime estacionário. Com o potencial BPS apropriado o modelo fornece vórtices BPS eletricamente carregados. Estas novas soluções para vórtices BPS também suportam inversão de campo elétrico e reversão do fluxo magnético
localizada.

Contraintes sur les violations à la symétrie de Lorentz par analyse des données de télémétrie laser Lune / Constaints on Lorentz symmetry violations using lunar laser ranging observationsBourgoin, Adrien 19 December 2016 (has links)
La relativité générale (RG) et le modèle standard des particules permettent de comprendre les quatre interactions fondamentales de la nature. La formulation d'une théorie quantique de la gravitation permettrait d'unifier ces deux tenants de la physique moderne. D'après les grandes théories d'unification, une telle union est possible moyennant la brisure de certaines symétries fondamentales apparaissant à la fois en RG et dans le modèle standard telle la symétrie de Lorentz. Les violations de la symétrie de Lorentz peuvent être paramétrées dans tous les domaines de la Physique par une théorie effective du champ appelée extension du modèle standard (SME). Une violation au principe d'invariance locale de Lorentz dans le secteur gravitationnel serait supposée engendrer des perturbations dans la dynamique orbitale des corps présents dans le système solaire, notamment la Lune. Ainsi, à partir des données extrêmement précises de télémétrie laser, l'orbite lunaire peut être minutieusement analysée afin de débusquer d'éventuelles anomalies dans son mouvement. Dans cette optique, ELPN (Ephéméride Lunaire Parisienne Numérique), une nouvelle éphéméride lunaire intégrée dans le cadre du formalisme SME a été développée durant la thèse. ELPN fournit les solutions au problème lunaire sous la forme de séries temporelles datées en temps dynamique barycentrique (TDB). Parmi les solutions numériquement intégrées, mentionnons la position et la vitesse du vecteur barycentrique Terre-Lune, les angles de librations lunaires, la différence entre le temps terrestre et le TDB, ainsi que l'ensemble des dérivées partielles intégrées depuis l'équation aux variations. Les prédictions de l'éphéméride ont été utilisées afin de réduire les observations lunar laser ranging (LLR). Dans le cadre de la RG, la dispersion des résidus s'est avérée en accord avec les dispersions calculées à partir des éphémérides INPOP13b et DE430. Dans le cadre du SME minimal, l'analyse des données LLR a permis de contraindre toutes violations à l'invariance locale de Lorentz. Une grande attention a été portée à l'analyse des incertitudes afin de fournir des contraintes réalistes. Ainsi, dans un premier temps, les combinaisons linéaires de coefficients SME ont été isolées puis ajustées aux observations. Puis, dans un second temps, les incertitudes réalistes ont été déterminées par une méthode de ré-échantillonnage. L'analyse des données de télémétrie laser Lune n'a pas permis de révéler de violations au principe d'invariance locale de Lorentz agissant au niveau de l'orbite lunaire. Les prédictions de la RG ont donc été validées avec des précisions absolues allant de 10-9 à 10-12. / General Relativity (GR) and the standard model of particle physics provide a comprehensive description of the four interactions of nature. A quantum gravity theory is expected to merge these two pillars of modern physics. From unification theories, such a combination would lead to a breaking of fundamental symmetry appearing in both GR and the standard model of particle physics as the Lorentz symmetry. Lorentz symmetry violations in all fields of physics can be parametrized by an effective field theory framework called the standard-model extension (SME). Local Lorentz Invariance violations in the gravitational sector should impact the orbital motion of bodies inside the solar system, such as the Moon. Thus, the accurate lunar laser ranging (LLR) data can be analyzed in order to study precisely the lunar motion to look for irregularities. For this purpose, ELPN (Ephéméride Lunaire Parisienne Numérique), a new lunar ephemeris has been integrated in the SME framework. This new numerical solution of the lunar motion provides time series dated in temps dynamique barycentrique (TDB). Among that series, we mention the barycentric position and velocity of the Earth-Moon vector, the lunar libration angles, the time scale difference between the terrestrial time and TDB and partial derivatives integrated from variational equations. ELPN predictions have been used to analyzed LLR observations. In the GR framework, the residuals standard deviations has turned out to be the same order of magnitude compare to those of INPOP13b and DE430 ephemerides. In the framework of the minimal SME, LLR data analysis provided constraints on local Lorentz invariance violations. Spetial attention was paid to analyze uncertainties to provide the most realistic constraints. Therefore, in a first place, linear combinations of SME coefficients have been derived and fitted to LLR observations. In a second time, realistic uncertainties have been determined with a resampling method. LLR data analysis did not reveal local Lorentz invariance violations arising on the lunar orbit. Therefore, GR predictions are recovered with absolute precisions of the order of 10-9 to 10-12.

Modélisation du dichroïsme circulaire des protéines : modèle simple et applications / Modelisation of protein circular dichroism : simple model and applicationTran, Viet-Dung 18 December 2015 (has links)
La spectroscopie de dichroïsme circulaire (CD) est une des techniques fondamentales en biologie structurale qui permet la détermination du contenu en structures secondaires d'une protéine. Le rayonnement synchrotron a considérablement augmenté l’utilité de la méthode, car il permet de travailler avec une gamme spectrale étendue et à meilleure intensité. Le développement de modèles permettant d’établir une relation entre la structure d’une protéine et son spectre CD d’une manière efficace n’a pourtant pas suivi l’évolution technique et l’analyse de spectres CD de protéines entières reste un défi sur le plan théorique. Dans ce contexte, nous avons développé un modèle "minimaliste" pour la spectroscopie CD des protéines, où chaque atome C-alpha de la chaîne principale porte un oscillateur de Lorentz classique, i.e. une charge mobile qui est tenue par un potentiel quadratique. Les oscillateurs sont couplés par un potentiel coulombien et leurs déplacements suivent les tangentes locales respectives de la courbe spatiale décrite par les atomes C-alpha. Le système d'oscillateurs est couplé à une onde électromagnétique plane décrivant la source de lumière et le phénomène d'absorption est modélisé par des forces de friction. Nous montrons que le modèle reproduit correctement le phénomène CD d'une chaîne polypeptidique hélicoïdale et en particulier son signe en fonction de l'orientation de la chaîne. Comme première application, nous présentons l'ajustement du modèle au spectre CD d'un polypeptide composé de 15 résidus qui se plie sous forme d'une hélice alpha. La transférabilité de ces paramètres est ensuite évaluée pour la myoglobine, une protéine de 153 résidus contenant 8 hélices alpha. / Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is one of the fundamental techniques in structural biology that allows us to investigate the secondary structure of proteins. Synchrotron radiation has considerably increased the usefulness of the method because it allows to work with a wider range of spectrum and much greater signal-to-noise ratios. The development of a theoretical model to establish a relationship between the structure of a protein and its CD spectra in an efficient manner proved to be a complex task. The calculation of the CD spectra of large molecules, such as protein, remains a challenge, due to the size and flexibility of the molecules. In this context, we have developed a “minimal” model to explain the CD spectroscopy of proteins, which associates each C-alpha position on the protein backbone with a classical Lorentz oscillator i.e. a mobile charge attaches to a corresponding atom by a quadratic potential. The coupling between charges is through the Coulomb potential and their displacements follow the direction of the respective local tangents to the Calpha space curve. This system is coupled to a planar electromagnetic wave describing the light source and the absorption phenomenon is modeled by frictional forces. We show that the model correctly reproduces the CD phenomenon of a helical polypeptide chain and in particular its sign depending on the orientation of the chain. At first, we have fitted a model to CD spectra of a polypeptide chain of 15 residues folded into alpha helix. The transferability of these parameters is then evaluated with myoglobin, a protein of 153 residues containing eight alpha helices.

Détection du pulsar de Vela et recherche de violation d'invariance de Lorentz avec le cinquième télescope de H.E.S.S. / Detection of the Vela pulsar and search for Lorentz invariance violation with the fifth H.E.S.S. telescopeChrétien, Mathieu 02 October 2015 (has links)
Le cinquième télescope (CT5) du réseau H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) a été inauguré en 2012. H.E.S.S. est destiné à l’observation du ciel austral dans le domaine des rayons γ et CT5, dont le seuil est d’environ 30 GeV, a permis la détection du pulsar de Vela après 24 heures d’observations. Certains scénarios de gravitation quantique (QG) prédisent une violation d’invariance de Lorentz (LIV). Celle-ci se manifeste par l’ajout de termes ∝(E/EQG)n aux relations de dispersion du photon, où E est l’énergie du quanta de lumière, EQG l’énergie caractéristique des processus de QG et n l’ordre de la correction. Cette dépendance en énergie peut être testée par des mesures de temps de vol entre photons reçus de sources astrophysiques variables (noyaux actifs de galaxies), transitoires (sursauts γ) ou encore périodiques (pulsars). Cette thèse présente l’analyse des données recueillies par CT5 sur le pulsar de Vela. Une méthode de maximum de vraisemblance ayant déjà montré sa robustesse sur d’autres types de sources a été adaptée au cas du pulsar de Vela. Aucune déviation des relations de dispersion standard n’est observée, par conséquent des limites sont placées sur EQG. La plus contraignante est obtenue pour une correction linéaire superluminique aux relations de dispersion EQG > 7.0×1015 GeV. / The fifth telescope (CT5) of the H.E.S.S. array (High Energy Stereoscopic System) was inaugurated in 2012. H.E.S.S. is designed to scrutinize the southern γ ray sky and CT5, whose threshold is about 30 GeV, allowed the Vela pulsar detection in 24 hours observation time. Some quantum gravity (QG) scenarios predict a violation of Lorentz invariance (LIV). This could manifest by additional terms ∝(E/EQG)n to the photon dispersion relations, where E is the light quantum energy, EQG the typical scale at which QG processes are expected to occur and n the order of the correction. This energy dependence could be tested by time of flight measurements between photons emitted from variable (active galactic nuclei), transient (gamma ray bursts) or periodical (pulsars) astrophysical sources. This thesis presents the analysis of the CT5 collected data from the Vela pulsar. A maximum likelihood method already successfully applied to other source species has been adapted here to the Vela pulsar. No deviation from standard photon dispersion relations is observed, therefore limits have been placed on EQG. The most restrictive result has been obtained for a superluminal linear correction to the dispersion relations EQG > 7.0×1015 GeV.

Sobre a força de Lorentz, os conceitos de campo e a \"essência\" do eletromagnetismo clássico / On the Lorentz\'s force, the concepts of field and the \"essence\" of the classical electromagnetismRibeiro, José Edmar Arantes 28 March 2008 (has links)
Este trabalho aponta os caminhos distintos que foram utilizados historicamente para a obtenção da expressão hoje denominada força de Lorentz e analisa os conceitos de força propostos por Newton e Mach e os vários significados já propostos para campo. Além disso, realiza uma comparação entre as teorias de Lorentz e Einstein sobre o Eletromagnetismo, descreve um modelo de éter do início do século XX que parece não ter sido ainda refutado, e faz um esboço das concepções de alguns renomados físicos sobre o éter. Como conclusões gerais, constatamos que por vezes os fundamentos da Dinâmica e do Eletromagnetismo não são exatamente apresentados de uma perspectiva histórica nos livros didáticos, que ocorrem alguns equívocos históricos nestes livros, e que a hipótese de existência de um éter merece maiores estudos. / In this work the Lorentz\'s force historical backgrounds was investigated. Moreover, the concepts of force as proposed by Newton and Mach were analyzed, and the several already proposed meanings for field were also compared. A comparison between the theories of Lorentz and Einstein on the foundations of Electromagnetism was also carried out. A model of ether proposed in the beginning of the century XX was discussed and it seems it has not been refuted so far. Outlines of the conceptions of famous physicists on ether had been supplied. As general conclusions we observe that sometimes the bases of the Dynamic and the Electromagnetism in nowadays text books do not seem to be exactly presented from a historical perspective, that some historical mistakes are found within these books, and that the hypothesis about the existence of some kind of ether deserves more studies.

Aspectos de Teoria de Campos e Mecânica Estatística / Aspects of Field Theory and Statistical MechanicsGomes, Pedro Rogério Sergi 15 February 2013 (has links)
A teoria quântica de campos pode ser vista como um conjunto de métodos e idéias que além de sua importância no estudo das partículas elementares, tem sido amplamente usada em outras áreas. Em especial, ela constitui uma ferramenta indispensável no estudo moderno de transições de fases e fenômenos críticos. A origem dessa constante relação entre a teoria de campos e a matéria condensada deve-se ao fato que, apesar de suas diferenças superficiais, ambas tratam de problemas envolvendo um grande número de graus de liberdade. Assim, não é surpreendente que as mesmas técnicas possam ser úteis nos dois campos. Este trabalho trata de problemas nessas duas áreas e está essencialmente divido em duas partes. A primeira parte é dedicada ao estudo de teorias de campos com uma anisotropia entre o espaço e o tempo, o que implica uma quebra da simetria de Lorentz. Uma das motivações para considerar esse tipo de teoria vem justamente do estudo de transições de fase em sistemas da matéria condensada. Análises do grupo de renormalização com ênfase na possibilidade de restauração da simetria de Lorentz e também uma discussão sobre identidades de Ward são realizadas. Na segunda parte, a atenção é voltada para a mecânica estatística mas com uma abordagem típica da teoria de campos, em especial, voltada para o estudo de transições de fase clássicas e quânticas a partir da versão quantizada do modelo esférico e de sua extensão supersimétrica. / Quantum field theory can be seen as a set of methods and ideas that, besides its importance in the study of the elementary particles, has been widely used in other areas. In particular, it constitutes an indispensable framework in the modern approach to phase transitions and critical phenomena. The origin of this constant relationship between field theory and condensed matter is due to the fact that despite their superficial differences, both deal with problems involving a large number of degrees of freedom. Thus, it is not surprising that the same techniques may be useful in both fields. This work addresses problems in these two areas and it is essentially divided in two parts. The first part is devoted to the study of field theories with an anisotropy between space and time, which implies a breaking of the Lorentz symmetry. One of the moti- vations for considering this kind of theory is precisely the study of phase transitions in condensed matter systems. Renormalization group analysis with emphasis on the possi- bility of restoration of the Lorentz symmetry and also a discussion about Ward identities are performed. In the second part, the attention is centered on statistical mechanics but with an approach typical of field theory, in particular, focused to the study of classical and quantum phase transitions from the quantized version of the spherical model and its supersymmetric extension.
