Degenerate perturbation theory

Description: The algebraic structure of degenerate Rayleigh-Schroedinger perturbation theory is reviewed. There are a number of different but equivalent algorithms which generate this perturbation series; we argue that the frequent need to carry out infinite-order partial summations selects one of these algorithms as the most efficient. Recent developments include coupled-cluster formulations for open shells, a new diagrammatic representation, and the concept of incomplete model subspaces. These subjects ar… more

Algebraic calculation of stroboscopic maps of ordinary, nonlinear differential equations

Description: The relation between the parameters of a differential equation and corresponding discrete maps are becoming increasingly important in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. Maps are well adopted for numerical computation and several universal properties of them are known. Therefore some perturbation methods have been proposed to deduce them for physical systems, which can be modeled by an ordinary differential equation (ODE) with a small nonlinearity. A new iterative, rigorous algebraic meth… more

Dimensions, induces and congruence classes of representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras (with examples for affine E/sub 8/)

Description: Affine generalizations of some familiar notions from the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras/groups are introduced, described and illustrated. The multiplicity of a weight and the dimension congruence class, and indices of a representation are touched upon. Examples of the highest weight representations of affine E/sub 8/ are considered as a preview of far more extensive results of this type to appear.

Algebraic approaches to nuclear structure

Description: The concept and application of algebraic models to nuclear structure is surveyed with emphasis on interpretations in terms of traditional geometric models. Recent studies relating to the relationship between {beta} and {gamma} vibrations in deformed nuclei, to the rigidity or softness of axial asymmetry, to signature splitting in octupole excitations, to O(6) quantum numbers and multi-phonon excitations, and to pseudo-SU(3) are discussed. 31 refs., 9 figs.

Mapping the geometry of the F4 group

Description: In this paper, we present a construction of the compact form of the exceptional Lie group F4 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra f4. We realize F4 as the automorphisms group of the exceptional Jordan algebra, whose elements are 3 x 3 Hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. We use a parametrization which generalizes the Euler angles for SU(2) and is based on the fibration of F4 via a Spin(9) subgroup as a fiber. This technique allows us to determine an explicit expression for the… more

Mapping the geometry of the E6 group

Description: In this paper we present a construction for the compact form of the exceptional Lie group E{sub 6} by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra e{sub 6}, which we realize as the sum of f{sub 4}, the derivations of the exceptional Jordan algebra J{sub 3} of dimension 3 with octonionic entries, and the right multiplication by the elements of J{sub 3} with vanishing trace. Our parameterization is a generalization of the Euler angles for SU(2) and it is based on the fibration of E{sub 6} via a F… more

Communication Requirements and Interconnect Optimization forHigh-End Scientific Applications

Description: The path towards realizing peta-scale computing isincreasingly dependent on building supercomputers with unprecedentednumbers of processors. To prevent the interconnect from dominating theoverall cost of these ultra-scale systems, there is a critical need forhigh-performance network solutions whose costs scale linearly with systemsize. This work makes several unique contributions towards attaining thatgoal. First, we conduct one of the broadest studies to date of high-endapplication communicati… more

Soft Error Vulnerability of Iterative Linear Algebra Methods

Description: Devices become increasingly vulnerable to soft errors as their feature sizes shrink. Previously, soft errors primarily caused problems for space and high-atmospheric computing applications. Modern architectures now use features so small at sufficiently low voltages that soft errors are becoming significant even at terrestrial altitudes. The soft error vulnerability of iterative linear algebra methods, which many scientific applications use, is a critical aspect of the overall application vulner… more

EXTENSION OF THE 1D FOUR-GROUP ANALYTIC NODAL METHOD TO FULL MULTIGROUP

Description: In the mid 80’s, a four-group/two-region, entirely analytical 1D nodal benchmark appeared. It was readily acknowledged that this special case was as far as one could go in terms of group number and still achieve an analytical solution. In this work, we show that by decomposing the solution to the multigroup diffusion equation into homogeneous and particular solutions, extension to any number of groups is a relatively straightforward exercise using the mathematics of linear algebra.

Deformed Matrix Models, Supersymmetric Lattice Twists and N=1/4 Supersymmetry

Description: A manifestly supersymmetric nonperturbative matrix regularization for a twisted version of N = (8, 8) theory on a curved background (a two-sphere) is constructed. Both continuum and the matrix regularization respect four exact scalar supersymmetries under a twisted version of the supersymmetry algebra. We then discuss a succinct Q = 1 deformed matrix model regularization of N = 4 SYM in d = 4, which is equivalent to a non-commutative A*{sub 4} orbifold lattice formulation. Motivated by recent p… more

PERI - Auto-tuning Memory Intensive Kernels for Multicore

Description: We present an auto-tuning approach to optimize application performance on emerging multicore architectures. The methodology extends the idea of search-based performance optimizations, popular in linear algebra and FFT libraries, to application-specific computational kernels. Our work applies this strategy to Sparse Matrix Vector Multiplication (SpMV), the explicit heat equation PDE on a regular grid (Stencil), and a lattice Boltzmann application (LBMHD). We explore one of the broadest sets of m… more

Modern architectures now use features so small at sufficiently low voltages that soft errors are becoming important even at terrestrial altitudes. Due to their large number of components, supercomputers are particularly susceptible to soft errors. Since many large scale parallel scientific applications use iterative li… more

Conformal Field Theories: From Old to New

Description: In a short review of recent work, we discuss the general problem of constructing the actions of new conformal field theories from old conformal field theories. Such a construction follows when the old conformal field theory admits new conformal stress tensors in its chiral algebra, and it turns out that the new conformal field theory is generically a new spin-two gauge theory. As an example we discuss the new spin-two gauged sigma models which arise in this fashion from the general conformal no… more

Understanding Ultra-Scale Application CommunicationRequirements

Description: As thermal constraints reduce the pace of CPU performance improvements, the cost and scalability of future HPC architectures will be increasingly dominated by the interconnect. In this work we perform an in-depth study of the communication requirements across a broad spectrum of important scientific applications, whose computational methods include: finite-difference, lattice-boltzmann, particle in cell, sparse linear algebra, particle mesh ewald, and FFT-based solvers. We use the IPM (integrat… more
