CM points and weight 3/2 modular forms.

The theta correspondence has been an important tool in the theory of automorphic forms with plentiful applications to arithmetic questions. In this paper, we consider a specific theta lift for an isotropic quadratic space V over Q of signature (1, 2). The theta kernel we employ associated to the lift has been constructed by Kudla-Millson (e.g., [29, 30]) in much greater generality for O(p, q) (U(p, q)) to realize generating series of cohomo-logical intersection numbers of certain, ’special ’ cycles in locally symmetric spaces of orthogonal (unitary) type as holomorphic Siegel (Hermitian) mod-ular forms. In our case for O(1, 2), the underlying locally symmetric space M is a modular curve, and the special cycles, parametrized by positive in-tegers N, are the classical CM points Z(N); i.e., quadratic irrationalities of discriminant −N in the upper half plane. We survey the results of [16] and of our joint work with Bruinier [12] on using this particular theta kernel to define lifts of various kinds of functions F on the underlying modular curve M. The theta lift is given b

The NH bands at Lambda 3360

The bands at lambda 3360 and 3370 are analyzed and their Lambda and spin splitting, as well as a widening effect, which can be observed at these bands are described. The recordings were made at a dispersion of 0.42 A/mm

Simple Lattice-Models of Ion Conduction: Counter Ion Model vs. Random Energy Model

The role of Coulomb interaction between the mobile particles in ionic conductors is still under debate. To clarify this aspect we perform Monte Carlo simulations on two simple lattice models (Counter Ion Model and Random Energy Model) which contain Coulomb interaction between the positively charged mobile particles, moving on a static disordered energy landscape. We find that the nature of static disorder plays an important role if one wishes to explore the impact of Coulomb interaction on the microscopic dynamics. This Coulomb type interaction impedes the dynamics in the Random Energy Model, but enhances dynamics in the Counter Ion Model in the relevant parameter range.Comment: To be published in Phys. Rev.
