In this introductory paper, we make the linkage between the use of big data and Econophysics, a research field which uses a large amount of data and deals with complex systems. Different approaches such as power laws and complex networks are discussed, as possible frameworks to analyze complex phenomena that could be studied using Econophysics and resorting to big data. Keywords: big data; complexity; networks; stock markets; power laws 1. Introduction Big data has become a very popular expression in recent years, related to the advance of technology which allows, on the one hand, the recovery of a great amount of data, and on the other hand, the analysis of that data, benefiting from the increasing computational capacity of devices.

    Citation Statistics from 110 Years of Physical Review

    Citation Statistics from 110 Years of Physical Review Publicly available data reveal long-term systematic features about citation statistics and how papers are referenced. The data also tell fascinating citation histories of individual articles. Sidney Redner he first article published in the Physical Review was Treceived in 1893; the journal’s first volume included 6 issues and 24 articles. In the 20th century, the Phys- ical Review branched into topical sections and spawned new journals (see figure 1). Today, all arti- cles in the Physical Review family of journals (PR) are available online and, as a useful byproduct, all cita- tions in PR articles are electronically available. The citation data provide a treasure trove of quantitative information. As individuals who write sci- entific papers, most of us are keenly interested in how often our own work is cited.

A change of viewpoint — moving from wave equations to quantum field theory — is necessary in order to make it consistent with special relativity. For this reason, it is therefore paramount to understand how Lorentz symmetry is realised in a quantum setting. Besides invariance under Lorentz transformation, invariance under space-time translations is another necessary requirement in the construction of quantum field theory. Translations plus Lorentz transformation form the inhomogeneous Lorentz group, or the Poincaré group. The study of the Poincaré group and its representation allows one to understand how the concept of particle emerges. References: M. Maggiore, A Modern Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, Ch. 2. Luca R 2) Noether theorem You have already seen that in physics we have a deep relation between symmetries and conserved quantities (translation invariance -> momentum conservation; space isotropy -> angular momentum conservation…) The Noether theorem states that every continuous symmetry of the action functional leads to a conservation law derivation of the theorem starting from a classical field Lagrangian (Goldstein chap. 12.7) application of the theorem in the case of invariance under translations and Lorentz transformations: energy-momentum and angular momentum conservation (Itzykson-Zuber chap.

    Member Services 2018

    AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Member Services 2018 JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT The Constitution of the American Physical Society states that the objective of the Society shall be the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It is the purpose of this statement to advance that objective by presenting ethical guidelines for Society members. Each physicist is a citizen of the community of science. Each shares responsibility for the welfare of this community. Science is best advanced when there is mutual trust, based upon honest behavior, throughout the community. Acts of deception, or any other acts that deliberately compromise the advancement of science, are unacceptable. Honesty must be regarded as the cornerstone of ethics in science. Professional integrity in the formulation, conduct, and report- ing of physics activities reflects not only on the reputations of individual physicists and their organizations, but also on the image and credibility of the physics profession as perceived by scientific colleagues, government and the public. It is important that the tradition of ethical behavior be carefully maintained and transmitted with enthusiasm to future generations. The following are the minimal standards of ethical behavior relating to several critical aspects of the physics profession. Physicists have an individual and a collective responsibility to ensure that there is no compromise with these guidelines. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review. Research data should be immediately available to scientific collaborators. Following publication, the data should be retained for a reasonable period in order to be available promptly and completely to responsible scientists.

    Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Cristiano Nisoli1 Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, 87545, USA (Dated: 21 May 2020) Proceeding from the more general to the more concrete, we propose an equilibrium field theory describing spin ice systems in terms of topological charges and magnetic monopoles. We show that for a spin ice on a graph, the entropic interaction in a Gaussian approximation is the inverse of the graph Laplacian matrix, while the screening function for external charges is the inverse of the screened laplacian. We particularize the treatment to square and pyrochlore ice. For square ice we highlight the gauge-free duality between direct and perpendicular structure in terms of symmetry between charges and currents, typical of magnetic fragmentation in a two-dimensional setting. We derive structure factors, correlations, correlation lengths, and susceptibilities for spins, topological charges, and currents. We show that the divergence of the correlation length at low temperature is exponential and inversely proportional to the mean square charge. While in three dimension real and entropic interactions among monopoles are both 3D-Coulomb, in two dimension the former is a 3D-Coulomb and the latter 2D-Coulomb, or logarithmic, leading to weak singularities in correspondence of the pinch points and destroying charge screening. This suggests that the monopole plasma of square ice is a magnetic charge insulator. CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II. Graph Spin Ice 3 A. Spins on a Graph3 1. Ice Manifold4 2. Coulomb Phases5 3.
