On non-abelian homomorphic public-key cryptosystems

An important problem of modern cryptography concerns secret public-key computations in algebraic structures. We construct homomorphic cryptosystems being (secret) epimorphisms f:G --> H, where G, H are (publically known) groups and H is finite. A letter of a message to be encrypted is an element h element of H, while its encryption g element of G is such that f(g)=h. A homomorphic cryptosystem allows one to perform computations (operating in a group G) with encrypted information (without knowing the original message over H). In this paper certain homomorphic cryptosystems are constructed for the first time for non-abelian groups H (earlier, homomorphic cryptosystems were known only in the Abelian case). In fact, we present such a system for any solvable (fixed) group H.Comment: 15 pages, LaTe

Splitting electrons into quasiparticles with fractional edge-state Mach-Zehnder interferometer

We have studied theoretically the tunneling between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids (QHL) of different filling factors, $\nu_{0,1}=1/(2 m_{0,1}+1)$, with $m_0 \geq m_1\geq 0$, through two separate point contacts in the geometry of Mach-Zehnder interferometer [Y. Ji et al., Nature {\bf 422}, 415 (2003); I. Neder et al., Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett. {\bf 96}, 016804 (2006)]. The quasi-particle formulation of the interferometer model is derived as a dual to the initial electron model, in the limit of strong electron tunneling reached at large voltages or temperatures. For $m\equiv 1+m_{0}+m_{1}>1$, the tunneling of quasiparticles of fractional charge $e/m$ leads to non-trivial $m$-state dynamics of effective flux through the interferometer, which restores the regular "electron" periodicity of the current in flux despite the fractional charge and statistics of quasiparticles. The exact solution available for equal times of propagation between the contacts along the two edges demonstrates that the interference pattern of modulation of the tunneling current by flux depends on voltage and temperature only through a common amplitude.Comment: fourteen two-column pages in RevTex4, 4 eps figure, extended final verson as appeared in PR

Coulomb drag between one-dimensional conductors

We have analyzed Coulomb drag between currents of interacting electrons in two parallel one-dimensional conductors of finite length $L$ attached to external reservoirs. For strong coupling, the relative fluctuations of electron density in the conductors acquire energy gap $M$. At energies larger than $\Gamma = const \times v_- \exp (-LM/v_-)/L + \Gamma_{+}$, where $\Gamma_{+}$ is the impurity scattering rate, and for $L>v_-/M$, where $v_-$ is the fluctuation velocity, the gap leads to an ``ideal'' drag with almost equal currents in the conductors. At low energies the drag is suppressed by coherent instanton tunneling, and the zero-temperature transconductance vanishes, indicating the Fermi liquid behavior.Comment: 5 twocolumn pages in RevTex, added 1 eps-Figure and calculation of trans-resistanc

Strong-coupling branching of FQHL edges

We have developed a theory of quasiparticle backscattering in a system of point contacts formed between single-mode edges of several Fractional Quantum Hall Liquids (FQHLs) with in general different filling factors $\nu_j$ and one common single-mode edge $\nu_0$ of another FQHL. In the strong-tunneling limit, the model of quasiparticle backscattering is obtained by the duality transformation of the electron tunneling model. The new physics introduced by the multi-point-contact geometry of the system is coherent splitting of backscattered quasiparticles at the point contacts in the course of propagation along the common edge $\nu_0$. The ``branching ratios'' characterizing the splitting determine the charge and exchange statistics of the edge quasiparticles that can be different from those of Laughlin's quasiparticles in the bulk of FQHLs. Accounting for the edge statistics is essential for the system of more than one point contact and requires the proper description of the flux attachement to tunneling electrons.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure

Quantum critical behaviour of the plateau-insulator transition in the quantum Hall regime

High-field magnetotransport experiments provide an excellent tool to investigate the plateau-insulator phase transition in the integral quantum Hall effect. Here we review recent low-temperature high-field magnetotransport studies carried out on several InGaAs/InP heterostructures and an InGaAs/GaAs quantum well. We find that the longitudinal resistivity $\rho_{xx}$ near the critical filling factor $\nu_{c}$ ~ 0.5 follows the universal scaling law $\rho_{xx}(\nu, T) \propto exp[-\Delta \nu/(T/T_{0})^{\kappa}]$, where $\Delta \nu =\nu -\nu_{c}$. The critical exponent $\kappa$ equals $0.56 \pm 0.02$, which indicates that the plateau-insulator transition falls in a non-Fermi liquid universality class.Comment: 8 pages, accepted for publication in Proceedings of the Yamada Conference LX on Research in High Magnetic Fields (August 16-19, 2006, Sendai

Detecting synchronization of self-sustained oscillators by external driving with varying frequency

We propose a method for detecting the presence of synchronization of self-sustained oscillator by external driving with linearly varying frequency. The method is based on a continuous wavelet transform of the signals of self-sustained oscillator and external force and allows one to distinguish the case of true synchronization from the case of spurious synchronization caused by linear mixing of the signals. We apply the method to driven van der Pol oscillator and to experimental data of human heart rate variability and respiration.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure

Quantum-Hall activation gaps in graphene

We have measured the quantum-Hall activation gaps in graphene at filling factors $\nu=2$ and $\nu=6$ for magnetic fields up to 32 T and temperatures from 4 K to 300 K. The $\nu =6$ gap can be described by thermal excitation to broadened Landau levels with a width of 400 K. In contrast, the gap measured at $\nu=2$ is strongly temperature and field dependent and approaches the expected value for sharp Landau levels for fields $B > 20$ T and temperatures $T > 100$ K. We explain this surprising behavior by a narrowing of the lowest Landau level.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, updated version after review, accepted for PR

Plateau insulator transition in graphene

The quantum Hall effect in a single-layer graphene sample is studied in strong magnetic fields up to 28 T. Our measurements reveal the existence of a metal- insulator transition from filling factor $\nu=-2$ to $\nu=0$. The value of the universal scaling exponent is found to be $\kappa=0.57$ in graphene and therefore in a truly two-dimensional system. This value of $\kappa$ is in agreement with the accepted universal value for the plateau-insulator transitions in standard quasi two-dimensional electron and hole gases.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure

The moving boundary problem in the presence of a dipole magnetic field

An exact analytic solution is obtained for a uniformly expanding, neutral, infinitely conducting plasma sphere in an external dipole magnetic field. The electrodynamical aspects related to the radiation and transformation of energy were considered as well. The results obtained can be used in analyzing the recent experimental and simulation data.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure, Submitted to J. Phys. A, Math. and Genera
