To commence, an overview is presented for critical-point solutions E(5), X(5), X(3), Z(5), and Z(4). These symmetries, encapsulated in simple models, all model the β degree of freedom using an infinite square-well (ISW) potential. They are particularly useful for dissecting phase transitions from spherical to deformed nuclear shapes. The distinguishing factor among these models lies in their treatment of the γ degree of freedom. These models are rooted in a geometrical context, employing the Bohr Hamiltonian. The review then continues with the analysis of the same critical solutions but with the adoption of a sextic potential in place of the ISW potential within the β degree of freedom. The sextic oscillator, being quasi-exactly solvable (QES), allows for the derivation of exact solutions for the lower part of the energy spectrum. The outcomes of this analysis are examined in detail. Additionally, various versions of the sextic potential, while not exactly solvable, can still be tackled numerically, offering a means to establish benchmarks for criticality in the transitional path from spherical to deformed shapes. This review extends its scope to encompass related papers published in the field in the past 20 years, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of critical-point symmetries in nuclear physics. To facilitate this understanding, a map depicting the different regions of the nuclide chart where these models have been applied is provided, serving as a concise summary of their applications and implications in the realm of nuclear structure.","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"33 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present research aims to study the chromatic entropy based on the vertex strong coloring of a linear p-uniform supertree. The maximal and minimal values of the p-uniform supertree are determined. Moreover, in order to investigate the generalization of dendrimers, a new class of p-uniform supertrees called hyper-dendrimers is proposed.

The proposed bandpass filter consists of metamaterial unit cells that are symmetrical in shape. The design process involves the placement of four symmetrical split-ring resonators (SRRs) on the top plane of the BPF. It exhibits improved filter characteristics through the implementation of these SRRs. The filter was modeled and fabricated and its performance was evaluated using a Vector Network Analyzer. The designed bandpass filter shows a 5 GHz bandwidth covering the frequency band spanning from 1 to 5.2 GHz, with a quality factor value of 1.85 across 1.9 GHz, 3.3 across 3.3 GHz and 5.1 across 5.1 GHz. The metamaterial analysis was carried out using ANSYS ELECTRONIC DESKTOP. The proposed filter measures 20 × 18 × 1.6 mm3, which is significantly smaller than current filters. The designed bandpass filter occupies 50% of the space of a conventional filter. The designed bandpass filter exhibits a distributed surface current of 84 A/m, and 94 A/m across the wide- and narrow-band operating frequency. The simulated and measured results indicate that the suggested metamaterial filter is well-suited for multiband wireless applications like GPS (1.57 GHz), WLAN (2.4, 3.6, and 5.2 GHz), Wi-MAX (2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz), and ISM (2.5 GHz).","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"25 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134901489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is helpful in characterizing the notion of an entanglement domain and its symmetry features, which is useful for understanding the interplay between different levels of structure in many-body quantum systems. The effect of the quantum field on the system is derived via the influence functional and the correlation functions are obtained from the solutions of the evolutionary operator of the reduced density matrix. They are then used to construct the covariance matrix, which forms the basis for our analysis of the structure of quantum entanglement in this open system. To make the physical features explicit, we consider a system of three quantum coupled oscillators placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with disparate pairwise couplings. We analyze the entanglement between one oscillator and the other two with equal (symmetric) and unequal (asymmetric) coupling strengths. As a physical illustration, we apply the results for these two different configurations to address some basic issues in macroscopic quantum phenomena from the quantum entanglement perspective.","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"9 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermodynamically consistent Tsallis models with and without flow velocity are used to reproduce the experimental data, extracting the freeze-out parameters to gain insights into the underlying physics of the collision processes by looking into the parameters change with different multiplicities, particle types, and collision geometries. We found that with an increase in the event multiplicity, the average transverse flow velocity, effective, and kinetic freezeout temperatures increase, with heavier strange particle species exhibiting a more significant increase. The value of the non-extensivity parameter decreases with an increase in the multiplicity of the particles. For heavier particles, larger Teff and T0 and smaller q have been observed, confirming the quick thermalization and equilibrium for massive particles. Furthermore, the differences in parameter values for particle species are more significant in pp and pPb collisions than in PbPb collisions. In addition, in symmetric pp and PbPb collisions, parameter values (q,T0,βT) show more significant shifts for heavier particles compared to the lighter ones. In contrast, in asymmetric pPb collisions, both heavier and lighter particles display uniform linear progression.","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in some cases, a more complex strategy is required to deal with imprecise data. One of these techniques is generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets (GIFSs), which provide a comprehensive framework by adding extra factors that provide a more realistic explanation for uncertainty. GIFSs contain generalized membership, non-membership, and hesitation degrees for establishing symmetry around a reference point. In this paper, we applied a generalized intuitionistic fuzzy set approach to investigate ambiguity in the parameter of the Lomax life distribution, seeking a more symmetric assessment of the reliability measurements. Several reliability measurements and associated cut sets for a novel L-R type fuzzy sets are derived after establishing the scale parameter as a generalized intuitionistic fuzzy number. Additionally, the study includes a range of reliability measurements, such as odds, hazards, reliability functions, etc., that are designed for the Lomax distribution within the framework of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets. These reliability measurements are an essential tool for evaluating the reliability characteristics of various types of complex systems. For the purpose of interpretation and application, the results are visually displayed and compared across different cut set values using a numerical example.","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"56 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zverev","doi":"10.3390/sym15112055","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/sym15112055","url":null,"abstract":"Physicists are actively debating the nature of the quantum critical phase transition that determines the low-temperature properties of metals with heavy fermions. Important experimental observations of their transport properties incisively probe the nature of the quantum critical phase transition. In our short review, we consider the transport properties of strongly correlated Fermi systems like heavy fermion metals and high—Tc superconductors. Their transport properties are defined by strong inter-particle interactions, forming flat bands in these compounds. These properties do not coincide with those of conventional metals. Indeed, in contrast to the behavior of the transport properties of conventional metals, the strongly correlated compounds exhibit linear temperature resistivity ρ(T)∝T. We analyze the magnetoresistance and show that under the application of the magnetic field, it becomes negative. It is shown that near a quantum phase transition, when the density of the electronic states diverges, semiclassical physics remains applicable to describe the resistivity ρ of strongly correlated metals due to the presence of a transverse zero-sound collective mode, representing the phonon mode in solids. We demonstrate that when T exceeds the extremely low Debye temperature TD, the resistivity ρ(T) changes linearly with T since the mechanism of formation of the T-dependence ρ(T) is a similar electron-phonon mechanism, which predominates at high temperatures in ordinary metals. Thus, in the region of T-linear resistance, electron-phonon scattering leads to a lifetime of τ quasiparticles practically independent of the material, which is expressed as the ratio of the Planck constant ℏ to the Boltzmann constant kB, Tτ∼ℏ/kB. We explain that due to the non-Fermi-liquid behavior, the real part of the frequency-dependent optical conductivity σoptR(ω) exhibits a scaling behavior and demonstrates the unusual power law behavior σoptR(ω)∝ω−1, rather than the well-known one shown by conventional metals, σoptR(ω)∝ω−2. All our theoretical considerations are illustrated and compared with the corresponding experimental facts. Our results are in a good agreement with experimental observations.","PeriodicalId":48874,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry-Basel","volume":"53 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136346420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
