My introduction to electron correlation is based on multideterminant methods. I introduce the electron-electron cusp condition, configuration interaction, complete active space self consistent field (CASSCF), and just a little information about perturbation theories. These slides were part of a workshop I organized in 2014 at the University of Pittsburgh and for a guest lecture in a Chemical Engineering course at Pitt.

The resistivity of a host metal, such as Cu with trace amounts of magnetic impurities, typically Fe, reaches a minimum and then increases as -ln T as the temperature subsequently decreases. A resistivity minimum and subsequent logarithmic-temperature dependence are in stark contrast to the resistivity of the pure metal that tends to zero monotonically as the temperature decreases. An additional surprise is that the -ln T dependence of the resistivity does not continue indefinitely to low temperature, but rather, below a characteristic temperature, the Kondo temperature, it phases out. At this temperature the impurity and conduction electron spins begin to condense into singlet states and this condensation is complete at T=0 K. Perturbation theory breaks down at this temperature and then the magnetic properties of the system change. Here we have explained how resistivity minimum and logarithmic-temperature dependence arises if we take the interaction between the spin of conduction electrons of host metal and the spin of impurity as a perturbation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Introduction
In General Relativity : Cosmological evolution leads to an
initial Big-Bang singularity.
There is a belief : Consistency of String Theory is expected to
resolve it.
In this talk, we would like to discuss this question.
3. Consistency of a string vacuum means what ?
There is no tachyon in the spectrum i.e. particles with
negative masses squared.
A tachyon would mean we sit at a maximum of a potential.
An Higgs mechanism should occur to bring us to a true
vacuum.
It is an IR statement but string theory has the property to
relate IR and UV properties into each other.
From a UV point of view, consistency means the 1-loop
vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude Z is convergent in the
« dangerous region » l → 0 :
+∞ +∞
dl d
d k −(k2 +M 2 )l/2
Z= Vd d
dM ρB (M ) − ρF (M ) e

4. +∞ +∞
dl d
d k −(k2 +M 2 )l/2
Z= Vd dM ρB (M ) − ρF (M ) e
0 2l (2π)d 0
In fact, there must be a cancellation between the densities of
bosons and fermions.
Highly non-trivial statement, because they are βH M .
∼ e
Cancellation such that the effective density of states is that of
a 2-dimensional Quantum Field Theory [Kutasov, Seiberg].
Effectively, there is a finite number of particles in
the UV.
5. For cosmological pusposes, we should reconsider this
question of consistency for string models at finite T.
The 1-loop vacuum amplitude Z is computed in a space where
1
time is Euclidean and compactified on S (R0), (β = 2πR0 ).

When β βH i.e. T TH = 1/βH , Z diverges.
6. This break down of the canonical ensemble formalism at high
temperature is not believed to be an inconsistency of string
theory in the UV.
Instead, it is interpreted as the signal of the occurence of a
phase transition := Hagedorn phase transition.
This UV behavior can be rephrased in an IR point of view by
observing the appearance of tachyons when T = TH.
Usually, one gives a vacuum expectation value to these
tachyons in order to find another string background which is
stable.
However, the dynamical picture of this process, in a
cosmological set up, is unknown.
7. So, the logics in string theory at finite temperature is
the following :
When we go backward in time and the temperature is growing
up, we incounter the Hagedorn transition before we reach an
eventual initial Big Bang singularity.
The hope is that if we understand how to deal with it, we
may evade the initial curvature and infinite temperature
divergences of the Big Bang present in General Relativity.
8. Before annoucing what we are going to do in this talk,
let us define some notations :
To describe a canonical ensemble, the fields are imposed (−)F
boundary conditions along S 1(R0).
In string theory, a state corresponds to the choice of two waves
propagating along the string : A Left-moving one (from right
to left) and a Right-moving one (from left to right) :
0 or 1 mod 2
F =a+a

In this talk : We are going to see that string models yield

T Tc =⇒ Tr e (−) Tr e
This allows to interpret T as a temperature.
10. In fact, the alternative signs imply the effective number of
string modes which are thermalized is finite.
Thanks to the consistency of these thermal backgrounds, we
obtain cosmological evolutions with :
No Hagedorn divergence.
No singular Big Bang.

13. Physical interpretation
In QFT at finite T, the particles have momentum m0/R0
along S 1(R0).
In String Theory, the strings have momentum m0/R0 and wrap
n0 times along S 1(R0).
However, it is possible to use symetries on the worldsheet
(modular invariance) to reformulate the theory in terms of an
infinite number of point-like particles i.e. with n0 = 0.
In the thermal model, for R0 RH, the string 1-loop
amplitude can be rewritten as a canonical partition function :
−βH
Z= = ln Tr e where β = 2πR0
14. In the tachyon-free model, for R0 Rc :
Since (−)a = (−)a+¯ (−)a the same procedure yields a

deformed canonical partition function :
Z −βH a

e = Tr e (−)
where β = 2πR0 and the fermions are Spinors S8,

for R0 Rc : T-duality leads the same expression but
1
β = 2π and the fermions are Conjugate Spinors C8,
2R0
the excitations along S 1(R0) have mass contributions |n0 | 2R0 .
15. This contribution is proportional to the lenght of
S 1(R0) : They are winding modes.
(solitons in QFT language)
Thus, we have two distinct phases :
a momentum phase R0 Rc and a winding phase R0 Rc .
In both : β 2πRc

Therefore : T = 1/β Tc =

Moreover, e = Tr e (−)
may differ from a canonical partition function for multiparticle
states containing modes with a = 1 .

However, in these models, these modes have

Since T Tc , the multiparticle states which contain them are
suppressed by Boltzmann’s factor :

e = Tr e (−) Tr e
The tachyon free model is essentially a thermal
model.
17. Then, why is there no Hagedorn divergence ?
In fact, the convergence of eZ = Tr e−βH (−) when T ≈ Tc is

This reduces the effective number of degrees of freedom which

can even be an exact symmetry of models.
This symmetry can exist only in d = 2 and concerns massive

In this case, exact cancellation in Z of all contributions from

19. What happens at R0 = Rc ?
There are additional massless states in the Euclidean model :
gauge bosons U(1) → SU(2) + matter in the adjoint.
They have non-trivial momentum and winding numbers
m0 = n0 = ±1 along S 1(R0).
This is exactly what is needed to transform the states of the
« winding phase » R0 Rc into the states of the
« momentum phase » R0 Rc .

They trigger the Phase Transition between the two
worlds.

23. Summary
We have seen string models describe systems at finite T, where
the effective number of states which are thermalized is finite.
These models have two thermal phases, where the thermal
excitations are either momentum or winding modes along S 1(R0).
Additional massless states with both windings and momenta
trigger the phase transition at the maximal temperature Tc.
They induce a negative contribution to the pressure,
which implies a bounce in the string coupling and Ricci curvature
during the cosmological evolution.
