Gravity-mediated holography in fluid dynamics

For any spherically symmetric black hole spacetime with an ideal fluid source, we establish a dual fluid system on a hypersurface near the black hole horizon. The dual fluid is incompressible and obeys Navier-Stokes equation subject to some external force. The force term in the fluid equation consists in two parts, one comes from the curvature of the hypersurface, the other comes from the stress-energy of the bulk fluid.Comment: 12 pages. v2: various corrections. v3: Minor corrections, version to appear in Nucl.

A mean field theory for the spin ladder system

In the present paper, we propose a mean field approach for spin ladders based upon the Jordan-Wigner transformation along an elaborately ordered path. We show on the mean field level that ladders with even number legs open a energy gap in their low energy excitation with a magnitude close to the corresponding experimental values, whereas the low energy excitation of the odd-number-leg ladders are gapless. It supports the validity of our approach. We then calculate the gap size and the excitation spectra of 2-leg-ladder system. Our result is in good agreement with both the experimental data and the numerical results.Comment: 14 pages,6 figure. submitted to Physical Review

Stability Analysis of Integral Delay Systems with Multiple Delays

This note is concerned with stability analysis of integral delay systems with multiple delays. To study this problem, the well-known Jensen inequality is generalized to the case of multiple terms by introducing an individual slack weighting matrix for each term, which can be optimized to reduce the conservatism. With the help of the multiple Jensen inequalities and by developing a novel linearizing technique, two novel Lyapunov functional based approaches are established to obtain sufficient stability conditions expressed by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that these new conditions are always less conservative than the existing ones. Moreover, by the positive operator theory, a single LMI based condition and a spectral radius based condition are obtained based on an existing sufficient stability condition expressed by coupled LMIs. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.Comment: 14 page

Flat space compressible fluid as holographic dual of black hole with curved horizon

We consider the fluid dual of $(d+2)$-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation either with or without a cosmological constant. The background solutions admit black hole event horizons and the spatial sections of the horizons are conformally flat. Therefore, a $d$-dimensional flat Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$ is contained in the conformal class of the spatial section of the black hole horizon. A compressible, forced, stationary and viscous fluid system can be constructed on the product (Newtonian) spacetime $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{E}^d$ as the lowest order fluctuation modes around such black hole background. This construction provides the first example of holographic duality which is beyond the class of bulk/boundary correspondence.Comment: 14 pages. V3: error corrections. To appear in JHE
