Exact exponent for the number of persistent spins in the zero-temperature dynamics of the one-dimensional Potts model

For the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of theq-state Potts model, the fractionr(q, t) of spins which never flip up to timet decays like a power lawr(q, t)t ^–(q) when the initial condition is random. By mapping the problem onto an exactly soluble one-species coagulation model (A+AA) or alternatively by transforming the problem into a free-fermion model, we obtain the exact expression of (q) for all values ofq. The exponent (q) is in general irrational, (3)=0.53795082..., (4)=0.63151575..., ..., with the exception ofq=2 andq=, for which (2)=3/8 and ()=1.     

Bunching phenomena during electron injection into the betatron II. Theory of starting conditions

A theory of the azimuthal bunching of electrons injected into the betatron is presented and compared with the experiments described in [1]. The bunching is treated as a small perturbation of the stationary beam.The stationary injected beam is replaced by the corresponding equilibrium beam of the same perveance so that the angular velocity spread of the injected electrons is proportional to the square root of the injection perveance.Self-consistent wave solutions for the perturbation of the stationary solution are then found. Equations giving the amplification of small density or energy disturbances along the beam are derived. These disturbances are assumed to be introduced by density or velocity modulation of the injected beam. The condition for the spontaneous occurrence of bunching is deduced by assuming that the disturbances do not vanish even when there is no modulation of the injected beam. The resulting expressions for the threshold perveance and the rise-time of the disturbance are in reasonably good agreement with the experiments. Such agreement may be considered as further verification of the statement made in [1] that the amplification of the disturbances is caused by the negative mass instability mechanism.

Exponential decay in the stark effect

LetH=–+V+Fx ₁ withV(x ₁,x ) analytic in the first variable andV(x ₁+ia, x ) bounded and decreasing to zero asx for eacha . Let be an eigenvector of –+V with negative eigenvalue. Among our results we show that forF0, (,e ^–H ) decays exponentially at a rate governed by the positions of the resonances ofH. This exponential decay is in marked contrast to conventional atomic resonances for which power law decay is the rule.Research supported by NSF Grant No. MCS 78-00101.     

Diffusion in a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles

We simulate the classical diffusion of a particle of massM in an infinite one-dimensional system of hard point particles of massm in equilibrium. Each computer run corresponds to about 10⁸ collisions of the diffusive particle. We find that (t) 1/t fort large enough, and a crossover from an M m regime where=2 to=3 forM=m. The diffusion constant has a sharp maximum atM=m. We study moments x(t)² and x(t)⁴, and examine the behavior ofq ² (t)=x(t)⁴/3x(t)²². We find thatq(t)1 (consistent with a normal distribution) in theM limit (for all timest) and in the t limit for allM.

Inequalities for the Schattenp-norm. III

We present some inequalities for the Schattenp-norm of operators on a Hilbert space. It is shown, among other things, that ifA is an operator such that ReAa0, then for any operatorX, AX+XA* _p 2aX _p . Also, for any two operatorsA andB, A–B ₂ ² +A*B* ₂ ² 2A–B ₂ ² .     

Norm inequalities for fractional powers of positive operators

It is shown that ifA, B andX are operators on a Hilbert space such thatA andB are positive andX belongs to a norm ideal associated with some unitarily invariant norm |·|, then for 0 r 1 we have |A ^r XB ^r | |X|^1-r |AXB| ^r . This is an extension of the classical Heinz-Kato inequality which was originally proved for the usual operator norm. Other related inequalities are also discussed.

We establish a new three-mode entangled state representation , of continuum variables, which make up a complete set. Using optical four-wave mixing and a beam splitter transform we can prepare , . Based on , a new number-difference--operational-phase uncertainty relation is established and the corresponding squeezing dynamics is discussed.

Dynamic structure factor in a random diffusion model

Let {X _t:0} denote random walk in the random waiting time model, i.e., simple random walk with jump ratew ^–1(X _t), where {w(x):x^d} is an i.i.d. random field. We show that (under some mild conditions) theintermediate scattering function F(q,t)=E ₀ (q^d) is completely monotonic int (E ₀ denotes double expectation w.r.t. walk and field). We also show that thedynamic structure factor S(q, w)=2 ₀ cos(t)F(q, t) exists for 0 and is strictly positive. Ind=1, 2 it diverges as 1/||^1/2, resp. –ln(||), in the limit 0; ind3 its limit value is strictly larger than expected from hydrodynamics. This and further results support the conclusion that the hydrodynamic region is limited to smallq and small such that ||D |q|², whereD is the diffusion constant.     

The use of the repulsive potential in the quantum theory of solids

A new method is proposed for calculating the energy in certain special points of the Brillouin zone. The wave functions of valence and conduction electrons are given in the form of the linear combination of plane waves and the orthogonality condition of these functions to the wave functions of lower states is replaced by the repulsive potential. The practical application of this very simple method is illustrated on the energy spectrum of silicon in the centre of the Brillouin zone. It is proved that the results are comparable with some other methods, e. g. the orthogonalized plane-wave method.

Surviving extrema for the action on the twisted SU(∞) one point lattice

We give a simplified construction of twist eating configurations, based on a theorem due to Frobenius. These configurations are defined through the equation:U U U ⁺ U ⁺ =exp(2in /N) withU SU(N), =1 tod andn an antisymmetric matrix with integer entries. In the (Twisted)-Eguchi-Kawai model they yield extrema some of which survive forN. Comparison is made with the Monte Carlo data of the internal energy in the small coupling region.     

Yang-Lee theory and the conductor-insulator transition in asymmetric log-potential lattice gases

A feature of a conducting phase at low density is that there is a singularity in the fugacity expansion of the pressure, whereas the same expansion in the insulating phase gives an analytic series. The Yang-Lee characterization of a phase transition thus implies that in the conducting phase the zeros of the grand partition function must pinch the real axis in the complex scaled fugacity () plane at =0, whereas in the insulating phase a neighborhood of =0 must be zero free. Exact and numerical calculations are presented which suggest that for two-component log-potential lattice gases in one dimension with dimensionless coupling, the zeros pinch the point =0 for<2, while for2 a neighborhood of =0 is zero free. The conductor-insulator transition therefore takes place at=2 independent of the density and other parameters in the model.

Space-and time-resolved diffusion-limited binary reaction kinetics in capillaries: experimental observation of segregation,anomalous exponents,and depletion zone

An experimental investigation of one-dimensional, diffusion-limited A+BC chemical reactions is reported. The persistence of reactant segregation and the formation of a depletion zone is observed and expressed in terms of the universal time exponents: (motion of the boundary zone), (width of instantaneous product formation zone), (rate of instantaneous local formation of product), (rate of instantaneous global formation of product), etc. There is good agreement with the recently predicted and/or simulated values:=1/2,=1/6,=2/3,=1/2, in contrast to classical predictions (=0,=1/2,=0,=–1/2). Furthermore, classically the segregation would not be preserved and there would be no formation of a depletion zone and no motion (just dissipation) of the reaction zone. We also discuss the relations to electrode oxidation-reduction reactions, i.e., A+CC where C is a catalyst, electrode, or trap.     

A model of Piron's preparation-question structures in Ludwig's selection structures

We give a model of the basic Jauch-Piron (JP) approach to quantum physics, i.e., of preparation-question structure (with four basic axioms and without axioms C, P, A), in terms of Ludwig's selection structure; in the latter structure the primitive notion of individual sample of a physical entity is formally described (without making reference to any probability concept). Once we interpret Piron's concept of question in Ludwig's context of a selection structure, we find that there is no difficulty in formalizing notions such as performable together questions; moreover, results such as = or ()= can be formally proved. We develop the theory along the lines of the JP approach; the set of JP propositions is derived and it turns out to be a complete lattice, as happens in Piron's theory, but with a different physical interpretation of the lattice operations. Finally, we study some connections between the standard Ludwig foundation and our approach.     

Non-smoothness of event horizons of Robinson-Trautman black holes

It is shown that generic small data Robinson-Trautman space-times cannot beC ¹²³ extended beyond the r=2m Schwarzschild-like event horizon. This implies that an observer living in such a space-time can determine by local measurements whether or not he has crossed the event-horizon of the black-hole.
