The transition to the synchronized state is treated as a nonequilibrium phase transition, where the average synchronization error is the order parameter. The transition in one-dimensional systems is found to be generically in the universality class of the Kardar- Parisi-Zhang equation with a growth-limiting term ("bounded KPZ"). For systems with very strong nonlinearities in the local dynamics, however, the transition is found to be in the universality class of directed percolation.

A1 - Illuminati, Fabrizio A1 - Wilkens, Martin T1 - Quantum field theory of dilute homogeneous Bose-Fermi-mixtures at zero temperature : general formalismand beyond mean-field corrections N2 - We consider a dilute homogeneous mixture of bosons and spin-polarized fermions at zero temperature. We first construct the formal scheme for carrying out systematic perturbation theory in terms of single particle Green's functions. We introduce a new relevant object, the renormalized boson-fermion T-matrix which we determine to second order in the boson-fermion s-wave scattering length. We also discuss how to incorporate the usual boson-boson T-matrix in mean-field approximation to obtain the total ground state properties of the system. The next order term beyond mean- field stems from the boson-fermion interaction and is proportional to $a_{scriptsize BF}k_{scriptsize F}$. The total ground-state energy-density reads $E/V =epsilon_{scriptsize F} + epsilon_{scriptsize B} + (2pihbar^{2}a_{ m BF}n_{scriptsize B}n_{scriptsize F}/m) [1 + a_{scriptsize BF}k_{scriptsize F}f(delta)/pi]$. The first term is the kinetic energy of the free fermions, the second term is the boson-boson mean-field interaction, the pre-factor to the additional term is the usual mean-field contribution to the boson-fermion interaction energy, and the second term in the square brackets is the second-order correction, where $f(delta)$ is a known function of $delta= (m_{scriptsize B} - m_{scriptsize F})/(m_{scriptsize B} + m_{scriptsize F})$. We discuss the relevance of this new term, how it can be incorporated into existing theories of boson-fermion mixtures, and its importance in various parameter regimes, in particular considering mixtures of $^{6}$Li and $^{7}$Li and of $^{3}$He and $^{4}$He.

T1 - Critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped atomic Bose-Fermi mixtures N2 - We calculate the shift in the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation for a dilute Bose-Fermi mixture confined by a harmonic potential, to lowest order in both the Bose-Bose and Bose-Fermi coupling constans. The relativ importance of the effect on the critical temperature of the boson-fermion interactions is investigated as a function of the parameters of mixture. The possible relevance of the shift of the transition temperature in current experiments on trapped Bose-Fermi mixtures is discussed. Y1 - 2002 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Alcalde, D. A1 - Mediavilla, E.

T1 - QSO 2237+0305 VR light curves from Gravitational Lenses International Time Project optical monitoring N2 - We present VR observations of QSO 2237+0305 conducted by the Gravitational Lensing International Time Project collaboration from 1999 October 1 to 2000 February 3. The observations were made with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma (Spain). The point-spread function (PSF) fitting method and an adapted version of the ISIS subtraction method have been used to derive the VR light curves of the four components (A-D) of the quasar. The mean errors range in the intervals 0.01-0.04 mag (PSF fitting) and 0.01-0.02 mag (ISIS subtraction), with the faintest component (D) having the largest uncertainties. We address the relatively good agreement between the A and D light curves derived using different filters, photometric techniques, and telescopes. The new VR light curves of component A extend the time coverage of a high-magnification microlensing peak, which was discovered by the OGLE team. Y1 - 2002 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Andersen, K. H.

T1 - Pattern dynamics of vortex ripples in sand : nonlinear modeling and experimental validation N2 - Vortex ripples in sand are studied experimentally in a one-dimensional setup with periodic boundary conditions. The nonlinear evolution, far from the onset of instability, is analyzed in the framework of a simple model developed for homogeneous patterns. The interaction function describing the mass transport between neighboring ripples is extracted from experimental runs using a recently proposed method for data analysis, and the predictions of the model are compared to the experiment. An analytic explanation of the wavelength selection mechanism in the model is provided, and the width of the stable band of ripples is measured.
