Cluster Monte Carlo algorithms and their applications
We review the background of the cluster algorithms in Monte Carlo simulation of statistical physics problems. One of the first such successful algorithm was developed by Swendsen and Wang eight years ago. In contrast to the local algorithms, cluster algorithms update dynamical variables in a global fashion. Therefore, ...

Ab initio molecular dynamics using density based energy functionals: application to ground state geometries of some small clusters
The ground state geometries of some small clusters have been obtained via ab initio molecular dynamical simulations by employing density based energy functionals.

Density Matrix Renormalization Group Study of the Spin 1/2 Heisenberg Ladder with Antiferromagnetic Legs and Ferromagnetic Rungs
The ground state and low lying excitation of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg ladder with antiferromagnetic leg ($J$) and ferromagnetic rung ($-\lambda J, \lambda >0$) interaction is studied by means of the density matrix renormalization group method. It is found that the state remains in the Haldane phase even for small $\lamb...

On Quantum Groups in the Hubbard Model with Phonons
The correct Hamiltonian for an extended Hubbard model with quantum group symmetry as introduced by A. Montorsi and M. Rasetti is derived for a D-dimensional lattice. It is shown that the superconducting SUq(2) holds as a true quantum symmetry only for D = 1 and that terms of higher order in the fermionic operators in a...

Skyrmions without Sigma Models in Quantum Hall Ferromagnets
We report on a microscopic theory of the Skyrmion states which occur in the quantum Hall regime. The theory is based on the identification of Skyrmion states in this system with zero-energy eigenstates of a hard-core model Hamiltonian. We find that for $N_{\phi}$ orbital states in a Landau level, a set of Skyrmions sta...

One-dimensional fermi liquid and symmetry breaking in the vortex core
Fermions localized within vortex cores can form one-dimensional Fermi liquids. The nonzero density of states in these Fermi-liquids can lead to instability of the symmetric structure of the vortex core.

Suppression of Cross-Field Transport of a Passive Scalar in Two-Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Van Hove Exciton-Cageons and High-T$_c$ Superconductivity: XB: Polaronic Coupling in the Doped Material
A purely ionic interpretation of the tilting mode instabilities in La$_{2-x}$A$ _x$CuO$_4$ (A=Sr,Ba) is shown to be not self-consistent: the dominant factor influencing the doping dependence of the interlayer mismatch is the large change in the Cu-O bond length, which in turn leads to a strong electron-phonon coupling....
