Neumann Boundary Conditions Inhibiting SSB in Coleman-Weinberg Mechanism

In this work we show that homogeneous Neumann boundary conditionsinhibit the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breakingin the scalar electrodynamics if the length of the finite region is small enough (a = e²M^-1_φ, where M_φ is the mass of the scalar field generated by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism).     

A Few Remarks on Milburn Equation

After presenting the infinite operator-sum form solution to the Milburn equation dp/dt=γ（UρU^f - ρ）=γU[p, Uf], where U=e^-iH/hγ, and verifying that this equation preserves the three necessary conditions of density operators during time evolution, we prove that the yon Neumann entropy increases with time. We also point out that if A and B both obey the Milburn equation, then theproduct AB obeys （d/dt）（AB） = γU[AB, U^f]-（1/γ）（dA/dt）（dB/dt）, which violates the Milburn equation, this reflects that a pure state will evolve to a mixture in general     

Three-Dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Model for High-Speed Compressible Flows

A highly efficient three-dimensional （31）） Lattice Boltzmann （LB） model for high-speed compressible flows is proposed. This model is developed from the original one by Kataoka and Tsutahara [Phys. Rev. E 69 （2004） 056702]. The convection term is discretized by the Non-oscillatory, containing No free parameters and Dissipative （NND） scheme, which effectively damps oscillations at discontinuities. To be more consistent with the kinetic theory of viscosity and to further improve the numerical stability, an additional dissipation term is introduced. Model parameters are chosen in such a way that the von Neumann stability criterion is satisfied. The new model is validated by well-known benchmarks, （i） Riemann problems, including the problem with Lax shock tube and a newly designed shock tube problem with high Mach number; （ii） reaction of shock wave on droplet or bubble. Good agreements are obtained between LB results and exact ones or previously reported solutions. The model is capable of simulating flows from subsonic to supersonic and capturing jumps resulted from shock waves.     

Finite-Difference Lattice Boltzmann Scheme for High-Speed Compressible Flow： Two-Dimensional Case

Lattice Boltzmann （LB） modeling of high-speed compressible flows has long been attempted by various authors. One common weakness of most of previous models is the instability problem when the Mach number of the flow is large. In this paper we present a finite-difference LB model, which works for flows with flexible ratios of specific heats and a wide range of Mach number, from 0 to 30 or higher. Besides the discrete-velocity-model by Watari [Physica A 382 （2007） 502], a modified Lax Wendroff finite difference scheme and an artificial viscosity are introduced. The combination of the finite-difference scheme and the adding of artificial viscosity must find a balance of numerical stability versus accuracy. The proposed model is validated by recovering results of some well-known benchmark tests： shock tubes and shock reflections. The new model may be used to track shock waves and/or to study the non-equilibrium procedure in the transition between the regular and Mach reflections of shock waves, etc.     

Controlled Remote State Preparation

We present a scheme for remotely preparing a state via the controls of many agents in a network. In the scheme, the agents＇ controls are achieved by utilizing quantum key distribution. Generally, the original state can be restored by the receiver with probability 1/2 if all the agents collaborate. However, for certain type of original states the restoration probability is unit.

By Lie symmetry method, the Lie point symmetries and its Kac Moody-Virasoro （KMV） symmetry algebra of （2＋1）-dimensional dispersive long-wave equation （DLWE） are obtained, and the finite transformation of DLWE is given by symmetry group direct method, which can recover Lie point symmetries. Then KMV symmetry algebra of DLWE with arbitrary order invariant is also obtained. On basis of this algebra the group invariant solutions and similarity reductions are also derived.

New interaction solutions of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

The residual symmetry relating to the truncated Painlev′e expansion of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(KP) equation is nonlocal, which is localized in this paper by introducing multiple new dependent variables. By using the standard Lie group approach, new symmetry reduction solutions for the KP equation are obtained based on the general form of Lie point symmetry for the prolonged system. In this way, the interaction solutions between solitons and background waves are obtained, which are hard to find by other traditional methods.

The equation of motion of continuum system is established by using variational principle of continuous coordinates. The invariance of the equation of motion under an infinitesimal transformation group is determined to be Lie-symmetric. The condition of obtaining Mei conservation theorem from Lie symmetry is also presented. An example is discussed for applications of the results.     

Symmetry Analysis and Exact Solutions of （2＋1）-Dimensional Sawada-Kotera Equation

Based on the symbolic computation system Maple, the infinite-dimensional symmetry group of the （2＋1）- dimensional Sawada-Kotera equation is found by the classical Lie group method and the characterization of the group properties is given. The symmetry groups are used to perform the symmetry reduction. Moreover, with Lou＇s direct method that is based on Lax pairs, we obtain the symmetry transformations of the Sawada-Kotera and Konopelchenko Dubrovsky equations, respectively.     

Symmetry, Reductions and New Exact Solutions of ANNV Equation Through Lax Pair

In this paper, the direct symmetry method is extended to the Lax pair of the ANNV equation. As a result, symmetries of the Lax pair and the ANNV equation are obtained at the same time. Applying the obtained symmetry, the （2＋1）-dimensional Lax pair is reduced to （1＋1）-dimensional Lax pair, whose compatibility yields the reduction of the ANNV equation. Based on the obtained reductions of the ANNV equation, a lot of new exact solutions for the ANNV equation are found. This shows that for an integrable system, both the symmetry and the reductions can be obtained through its corresponding Lax pair.

Firstly, the Lie symmetry of the system is given. Then, the necessary and sumeient condition under which the Lie symmetry is a Mei symmetry is presented and the generalized Mei conserved quantity indirectly deduced from the Lie symmetry of the system is obtained. Lastly, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.     

Exploring the light-quark interaction

Two basic motivations for an upgraded JLab facility are the needs： to determine the essential nature of light-quark confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking （DCSB）; and to understand nucleon structure and spectroscopy in terms of QCD＇s elementary degrees of freedom. During the next ten years a programme of experiment and theory will be conducted that can address these questions. We present a Dyson- Schwinger equation perspective on this effort with numerous illustrations, amongst them： an interpretation of string~breaking; a symmetry-preserving truncation for mesons; the nucleon＇s strangeness σ-term; and the neutron＇s charge distribution.

In terms of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio mechanism, dynamical breaking of gauge symmetry for the maximally generalized Vang-Mills model is investigated. The gauge symmetry behavior at finite temperature is also investigated and it is shown that the gauge symmetry broken dynamically at zero temperature can be restored at finite temperatures.     

Functional Separable Solutions of Nonlinear Heat Equations in Non-Newtonian Fluids

We study the functional separation of variables to the nonlinear heat equation： ut = （A（x）D（u）ux^n）x＋ B（x）Q（u）, Ax≠0. Such equation arises from non-Newtonian fluids. Its functional separation of variables is studied by using the group foliation method. A classification of the equation which admits the functional separable solutions is performed. As a consequence, some solutions to the resulting equations are obtained.     

Tracking gauge symmetry factorizability on intervals

We track the gauge symmetry breaking pattern by boundary conditions on fifth and higher-dimensional intervals. It is found that, with Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions, the Kaluza–Klein decomposition in five-dimension for arbitrary gauge group can always be factorized into that for separate subsets of at most two gauge symmetries, and so is completely solvable. Accordingly, we present a simple and systematic geometric method to unambiguously identify the gauge breaking/mixing content by general set of Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions. We then formulate a limit theorem on gauge symmetry factorizability to recapitulate this interesting feature. Albeit the breaking/mixing, a particularly simple check of orthogonality and normalization of fields' modes in effective 4-dim picture is explicitly obtained. An interesting chained-mixing of gauge symmetries in higher dimensions by Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions is also explicitly constructed. This study has direct applications to higgsless/GUT model building.

The interacting boson model with isospin （IBM-3） has been used to study mixed symmetry states and electromagnetic transitions at low-lying states for a ^28Si nucleus. The theoretical calculations show that the 24^＋ state is the lowest mixed symmetry state in ^28Si and the 43＋ state is also a mixed symmetry state.     

Approximate Similarity Reduction for Perturbed Kaup-Kupershmidt Equation via Lie Symmetry Method and Direct Method

The perturbed Kaup-Kupershmidt equation is investigated in terms of the approximate symmetry perturbation method and the approximate direct method. The similarity reduction solutions of different orders are obtained for both methods, series reduction solutions are consequently derived. Higher order similarity reduction equations are linear variable coefficients ordinary differential equations. By comparison, it is find that the results generated from the approximate direct method are more general than the results generated from the approximate symmetry perturbation method.     

Bekenstein-Hawking Cosmological Entropy and Correction Term Corresponding Cosmological Horizon of Rotating and Charged Black String

Utilizing the quantum statistical method and applying the new state density equation motivated by generalized uncertainty principle in quantum gravitaty, we avoid the difficulty in solving wave equation and directly calculate the partition function of bosonic and fermionic field on the background of rotating and charged black string. Then near the cosmological horizon, entropies of bosonic and fermionic field are calculated on the background of black string. When constant A introduced in generalized uncertainty principle takes a proper value, we derive Bekenstein- Hawking entropy and the correction value corresponding cosmologicaJ horizon on the background of rotating and charged black string. Because we use the new state density equation, in our calculation there are not divergent term and small mass approximation in the original brick-wall method. From the view of quantum statistic mechanics, the correction value to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black string is derived. It makes people deeply understand the correction value to the entropy of the black string cosmological horizon in non-spherical coordinate spacetime.     

Can VMD improve the estimate of the muon g－2?

We show that a VMD based theoretical input allows for a significantly improved accuracy for the hadronic vacuum polarization of the photon which contributes to the theoretical estimate of the muon g-2. We also show that the only experimental piece of information in the τ decay which cannot be accounted for within this VMD framework is the accepted value for Br（τ→ππvτ）, while the T spectum lineshape is in agreement with expectations from e^＋e^- annihilations.
