New explicit nonperiodic solutions of the homogeneous wave equation

We exhibit a newansatz for the solution of the homogeneous three-dimensional time-dependent wave equation in spherical coordinates of the form Φ(r,t)=Y(θ, φ)(I(r)+G(g)), whereg ≡ct/r. FunctionG(g) has explicit solution in terms of three independent nonperiodic functionss _ℓ,t _ℓ,u _ℓ (s _ℓ andt _ℓ are related to the associated Legendre functions of the first and second kinds).G(g) is nonperiodic and may be cast as a superposition of incoming and outgoing waves. To obtainG(g), we solved a nonhomogeneous associated Legendre equation (this solution, to our knowledge, is also new).G(g) may prove useful in many microscopic and macroscopic problems, representable by homogeneous wave equations.     

On the high spin expansion in the SYM theory

We study the form of the high spin expansion of the minimal anomalous dimension for long operators belonging to the sl(2) sector of SYM. Keeping fixed the ratio j between the twist and the logarithm of the spin, the minimal anomalous dimension expands as γ(g,j,s)=f(g,j)lns+f⁽⁰⁾(g,j)+O(1/lns). This particular double scaling limit is efficiently described, including the desired accuracy O((lns)⁰), in terms of a linear integral equation. By its use, we are able to evaluate both at weak and strong coupling the subleading scaling function f⁽⁰⁾(g,j) as a series in j, up to the order j⁵. Thanks to these results, the possible extension of the liaison with the O(6) non-linear sigma model may be tackled on a solid ground.     

Atomic Model Calculations of Gain Saturation in the 46.9 nm Line of Ne‐like Ar

The gain saturation in the 46.9 nm line of the Ar⁺⁸ laser is analyzed using an atomic kinetics code. The dependence of the gain (G) on the electron kinetic temperature (T_e) in the region (50 ‐150 eV) is calculated in the quasi steady‐state approximation for the different values of the electron density (N_e) and the plasma radius (r_pl). The influence of radiat on trapping, ion random and mean velocities, Stark line broadening and refraction losses on the gain saturation is taken into consideration. For r_pl = 150‐600 μm, the amplplication (G > 0 cm^‐1) exists in the large temperature/density domain (T_e = 60‐150 eV, N_e = 0.5‐10 × 10¹⁸ cm^‐3). However, the value G_s ∼ 1.4 cm^‐1 required for the gain saturation at the typical plasma length L_pl ∼ 15 cm is reached in the extremely narrow density regions at the high temperatures. The saturation is reached for r_pl = 600 μm at T^s_e = 150 eV in the region N^s_e = 1.8‐2 × 10¹⁸ cm ^‐3, for r_pl = 300 μm at T^s_e = 125 eV and N^s_e = 2.5‐3 × 10¹⁸ cm^‐3, and for r_pl = 150 μm at T^s_e = 110 eV and N^s_e = 3‐4 × 10¹⁸ cm^‐3. The broadest density region (N^s_e = 2 ‐8 × 10¹⁸ cm^‐3) is predicted for the narrowest column (r_pl = 150 μm) at the highest temperature (T^s_e = 150 eV). The operation in the broadest density region N^s_e, should make easier achievement of the gain saturation in the experiments.     

Mirror supersymmetry in the space of (super) extended Poincaré algebras p(p,q)

We classify extended Poincaré Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras of any signature (p, q), i.e. Lie superalgebras and ₂-graded Lie algebras g = g₀ + g₁, where g₀ = s₀(V) + V is the (generalized) Poincaré Lie algebra of the pseudo Euclidean vector space V = ^{p, q} of signature (p, q) and g₁ is a spin 1/2 s₀(V)-module extended to a s₀-module with kernel V.As a result of the classification, we obtain, if g₁ = S is the spinor module, the numbers L ⁺(n, s) (resp. L ^–(n, s)) of independent such Lie super algebras (resp. Lie algebras), which are periodic functions of the dimension n=p+q (mod 8) and the signature s=p–q (mod 8) and satisfy: L ⁺(–n, s)=L ^– (n, s).Supported by Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik (Bonn).Supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, MSRI (Berkeley) and SFB 256 (Bonn University).     

Braided m-Lie Algebras

Braided m-Lie algebras induced by multiplication are introduced, which generalize Lie algebras, Lie color algebras and quantum Lie algebras. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the braided m-Lie algebras to be strict Jacobi braided Lie algebras are given. Two classes of braided m-Lie algebras are given, which are generalized matrix braided m-Lie algebras and braided m-Lie subalgebras of End _F M, where M is a Yetter–Drinfeld module over B with dimB < . In particular, generalized classical braided m-Lie algebras sl _{q, f} (GM _G (A), F) and osp _{q, t} (GM _G (A), M, F) of generalized matrix algebra GM _G (A) are constructed and their connection with special generalized matrix Lie superalgebra sl _{s, f} (GM _{Z_2}(A ^s ), F) and orthosymplectic generalized matrix Lie super algebra osp _{s, t} (GM _{Z_2}(A ^s ), M ^s , F) are established. The relationship between representations of braided m-Lie algebras and their associated algebras are established.This revised version was published online in March 2005 with corrections to the cover date.     

Exact Results on Potts Model Partition Functions in a Generalized External Field and Weighted-Set Graph Colorings

We present exact results on the partition function of the q-state Potts model on various families of graphs G in a generalized external magnetic field that favors or disfavors spin values in a subset I _s ={1,…,s} of the total set of possible spin values, Z(G,q,s,v,w), where v and w are temperature- and field-dependent Boltzmann variables. We remark on differences in thermodynamic behavior between our model with a generalized external magnetic field and the Potts model with a conventional magnetic field that favors or disfavors a single spin value. Exact results are also given for the interesting special case of the zero-temperature Potts antiferromagnet, corresponding to a set-weighted chromatic polynomial Ph(G,q,s,w) that counts the number of colorings of the vertices of G subject to the condition that colors of adjacent vertices are different, with a weighting w that favors or disfavors colors in the interval I _s . We derive powerful new upper and lower bounds on Z(G,q,s,v,w) for the ferromagnetic case in terms of zero-field Potts partition functions with certain transformed arguments. We also prove general inequalities for Z(G,q,s,v,w) on different families of tree graphs. As part of our analysis, we elucidate how the field-dependent Potts partition function and weighted-set chromatic polynomial distinguish, respectively, between Tutte-equivalent and chromatically equivalent pairs of graphs.     

Extended triplet set C343 of DNA sequences and its application to the p53 gene

Recently, much research has indicated that more and more cancers pose a threat to human life. Cancers are caused by oncogenes. Many human oncogenes have been found and most of them are located on chromosomes. The discovery of the oncogene plays a significant role in the treatment of cancer. The p53 tumor suppressor gene has received much attention because it frequently mutates or deletes in tumor cells of most people. Thus, the study of oncogenes is significant. In order to establish the Galois field (GF(7)), the indefinite gene is introduced as D and oncogene is introduced as O, and P. Taking the polynomial coefficients a₀, a₁, a₂ ∈ GF(7) and the bijective function f:GF(7) → {D,A,C,O,G,T,P}, where f(0) = D, f(1) = A, f(2) = C, f(3) = O, f(4) = G, f(5) = T, and f(6) = P, the bijective φ may be written as φ(a₀ + a₁x + a₂x²). Based on the algebraic structure, we can not only analyse the DNA sequence of oncogenes, but also predict possible new cancers.     

Analysis of the Initial Slope of the Small‐Angle Scattering Correlation Function of a Particle

The small‐angle scattering correlation function of a particle γ(r) results from scattering experiments. This function possesses a well‐defined slope γ′(0) at the origin. This slope is defined by the particle volume V and the whole surface area S of the particle via γ′(0) = –S/(4V). In this paper it is demonstrated that this slope defines the mean chord length of the particle, . This theorem involves non‐convex particles, especially the case of particles with hollow parts. Consequently, for a large class of particle shapes the mean chord length is defined in terms of V and S. This extension of the Cauchy theorem is developed by closer analysis of the set covariance C(r), of the small‐angle scattering correlation function γ(r), and of the so‐called linear erosion P(r) near the origin r→0. The cases of a single hollow sphere, of two touching spheres, and of the single hollow cylinder are discussed.     

The electronic delocalization in para‐substituted β‐nitrostyrenes probed by resonance Raman spectroscopy and quantum‐chemical calculations

The electronic (UV‐vis) and resonance Raman (RR) spectra of a series of para‐substituted trans‐β‐nitrostyrenes were investigated to determine the influence of the electron donating properties of the substituent (X = H, NO₂, COOH, Cl, OCH₃, OH, N(CH₃)₂, and O⁻) on the extent of the charge transfer to the electron‐withdrawing NO₂ group directly linked to the ethylenic (C = C) unit. The Raman spectra and quantum chemical calculations show clearly the correlation of the electron donating power of the X group with the wavenumbers of the ν_s(NO₂) and ν (C = C)_sty normal modes. In conditions of resonance with the lowest excited electronic state, one observes for X = OH and N(CH₃)₂ that the symmetric stretching of the NO₂, ν_s(NO₂), is the most substantially enhanced mode, whereas for X = O⁻, the chromophore is extended over the whole molecule, with substantial enhancement of several carbon backbone modes.

A mixed spectral and finite difference model to study baroclinic annulus waves

A mixed spectral and finite difference model to study finite amplitude baroclinic waves in a differentially heated rotating annulus is presented. The model consists of the full Navier-Stokes equations and the heat equation. The field variables f = f(r, φ z; t) are decomposed into zonally averaged components f_o(r, z; t) and eddy components f(r, φ, z; t), the latter being periodic in f and represented in terms of Fourier series. The unknowns f_o(r, z; t) and f^{c, s}(r, z; t), which are Fourier amplitudes of f′(r, φ, z; t) are governed by two-dimensional primitive equations with the addition of source terms. These equations are solved semi-implicitly by the alternating direction implicit method on variable grids.A simplified model with two Fourier components which permits self-interaction of the chosen wave and the interaction of the wave and the mean fields had been used to repeat a computation done by G. P. Williams, who used a fully three-dimensional finite difference algorithm. We can reproduce almost all of Williams' results in 1/20 of the computing time with the present model. It only requires 1/30 the additional computer storage of Williams' finite difference model over the axisymmetric problem.The potential of the present model for investigation of multiwave interaction as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the two different approaches is discussed.     

Group duality and the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger condition

We consider clusteringG-invariant states of aC*-algebraU endowed with an action of a locally compact abelian groupG. Denoting as usual byF _AB,G _AB, the corresponding two-point functions, we give criteria for the fulfillment of the KMS condition (w.r.t. some one-parameter subgroup ofG) based upon the existence of a closable mapT such thatTF _AB =G _AB for allA,BU. Closability is either inL (G),B(G), orC (G), according to clustering assumptions. Our criteria originate from the combination of duality results for the groupG (phrased in terms of functions systems), with density results for the two-point functions.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation     

The ideal polymer chain near planar hard wall beyond the Dirichlet boundary conditions

We present a new ab initio approach to describe the statistical behavior of long ideal polymer chains near a plane hard wall. Forbidding the solid half-space to the polymer explicitly (by the use of Mayer functions) without any other requirement, we derive and solve an exact integral equation for the partition function G _D(r,r′, N) of the ideal chain consisting of N bonds with the ends fixed at the points r and r′ . The expression for G(r,r′, s) is found to be the sum of the commonly accepted Dirichlet result G _D(r,r′, N) = G ₀(r,r′, N) - G ₀(r,r”, N) , where r” is the mirror image of r′ , and a correction. Even though the correction is small for long chains, it provides a non-zero value of the monomer density at the very wall for finite chains, which is consistent with the pressure balance through the depletion layer (so-called wall or contact theorem). A significant correction to the density profile (of magnitude 1/is obtained away from the wall within one coil radius. Implications of the presented approach for other polymer-colloid problems are discussed.     

Calculation of the Eigenstates and Eigenvalues for the Power and Inverse-Power Hypercentral Potentials

The bound-state solutions to the hyperradial Schr?dinger equation is constructed for any general case comprising any hypercentral power and inverse-power potentials. The hypercentral potential depends only on the hyperradius which itself is a function of Jacobi relative coordinates that are functions of particle positions (r ₁,r ₂, … , and r _N ). This paper is mainly devoted to the demonstration of the fact that any ψ of the form ψ = power series × exp(polynomial) = [f(x) exp (g(x))] is potentially a solution of the Schr?dinger equation, where the polynomial g(x) is an ansatz depending on the interaction potential.     

Free energies of the spherical model of a spin glass

Free energies g(m, m_s) and f(m, q) of the spherical spin glass (SG) model due to Kosterlitz et al. are calculated explicitly as functions of the uniform magnetization m, and SG order parameter m_s and the Edwards-Anderson order parameter q. It is shown that g(0, m_s) and f(0, q) below the transition temperature T_g are constant in the ranges 0 ≦ m_s ≦ m_s⁰ and 0 ≦ q ≦ q₀ respectively, where $\text{q}{}_0\text{= (1 -?}\text{T}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{g}}\text{) = m}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s}}{}^0$. The proper equilibrium values of m_s( = m_s⁰) and q( d=q₀) are then fixed from the inspection of their behaviors under infinitesimal uniform field proproportional to N^-a($\text{a ≧ 0}$).     

A very strong difference property for semisimple compact connected lie groups

Let G be a topological group. For a function f: G → ℝ and h ∈ G, the difference function Δ _h f is defined by the rule Δ _h f(x) = f(xh) − f(x) (x ∈ G). A function H: G → ℝ is said to be additive if it satisfies the Cauchy functional equation H(x + y) = H(x) + H(y) for every x, y ∈ G. A class F of real-valued functions defined on G is said to have the difference property if, for every function f: G → ℝ satisfying Δ _h f ∈ F for each h ∈ G, there is an additive function H such that f − H ∈ F. Erdős’ conjecture claiming that the class of continuous functions on ℝ has the difference property was proved by N. G. de Bruijn; later on, F. W. Carroll and F. S. Koehl obtained a similar result for compact Abelian groups and, under the additional assumption that the other one-sided difference function ∇ _h f defined by ∇ _h f(x) = f(xh) − f(x) (x ∈ G, h ∈ G) is measurable for any h ∈ G, also for noncommutative compact metric groups. In the present paper, we consider a narrower class of groups, namely, the family of semisimple compact connected Lie groups. It turns out that these groups admit a significantly stronger difference property. Namely, if a function f: G → ℝ on a semisimple compact connected Lie group has continuous difference functions Δ _h f for any h ∈ G (without the additional assumption concerning the measurability of the functions of the form ∇ _h f), then f is automatically continuous, and no nontrivial additive function of the form H is needed. Some applications are indicated, including difference theorems for homogeneous spaces of compact connected Lie groups.     

Determination of isotope shift crossed-second-order-effects and hyperfine-structure parameters in the Eu I configuration 4f 7 6s7s

In the Eu I configuration 4f ⁷(⁸ S)6s7s the isotope shift (IS) and hyperfine-structure (hfs) of the levelse ⁸ S _7/2 andf ⁸ S _7/2 were determined from the transitions 684.5 nm, 733.7 nm and 821.0 nm to 4f ⁷6s6p. Together with experimental results of our previous measurements a theoretical analysis of the IS and hfs for the complete configuration 4f ⁷ 6s7s can now be carried out. From the IS of the four 6s7s-levels we evaluated the two crossed-second-order-parametersg ₃(4f,6s)= ?l.l(l)mK andg ₃(4f, 7s)= ?0.1(l)mK. The ratiog ₃/G ₃ is determined for various Eu configurations and found to be equal to 5.6(3)·10^?6 in complete agreement with a theoretical value following from Hartree-Fock calculations. The single electron hfs splitting constantsa ¹⁰(4f)= ?1.9 (3) mK,a ¹⁰(6s)=396(3)mK, anda ¹⁰(7s)=65(3)mK are also determined and compared with those of other Eu configurations.     

立方对称晶场中6S(3d5)态离子的磁相互作用及其自旋哈密顿参量的微观起源

基于完全对角化方法(complete diagonalization method, CDM), 研究了⁶S(3d⁵)态离子在立方对称晶场中的磁相互作用,分析了自旋哈密顿参量(a, g,Δg)的微观起源.研究中除了考虑研究者通常考虑的SO(spin-orbit)磁相互作用外,同时考虑了SS(spin-spin),SOO(spin-other-orbit),OO(orbit-orbit)磁相互作用.研究表明：⁶S(3d⁵)态离子在立方对称晶场中的自旋哈密顿参量起源于五种机理,即SO机理,SS机理,SOO机理,OO机理以及SO-SS-SOO-OO联合作用机理.文中研究了五种机理的相对重要性,结果表明：SO机理与SO-SS-SOO-OO联合作用机理在五种机理中最为重要.尽管SS,SOO,OO磁相互作用单独作用时对自旋哈密顿参量的贡献很小,但它们的联合作用SO-SS-SOO-OO机理对自旋哈密顿参量的贡献非常可观.此外研究表明：零场分裂参量a主要来自纯自旋四重态及自旋二重态与自旋四重态联合作用的贡献,而Zeemang(或者Δg)因子主要来自纯自旋四重态的贡献.纯自旋二重态对自旋哈密顿参量a与g(或者Δg)的贡献为零.在我们所选择的晶场区域,发现下列关系始终成立：a>0,a(-|Dq|)<a(|Dq|),g(-Dq)=g(Dq),a(-Dq,-ξ_d,B,C)=a(Dq,ξ_d, B,C),Δg(-Dq,-ξ_d, B, C)=Δg(Dq,ξ_d, B, C).作为本文理论的应用,研究了四种典型的Mn²⁺掺杂晶体材料,即Mn²⁺:KZnF₃,Mn²⁺: RbCdF₃,Mn²⁺: MgO,Mn²⁺: CaO,理论与实验测量符合很好. 关键词： 自旋哈密顿参量 6S(3d⁵)态离子')" href="#">⁶S(3d⁵)态离子 磁相互作用 完全对角化方法(CDM)     

Exotic states X ±(1600, I G (J PC)=2+ (2++)) in photoproduction reactions

It is shown that the list of unusual mesons that are planned to be studied in photoproduction reactions can be supplemented with I ^G (J ^PC)=2⁺ (2⁺⁺) exotic states X ^±(1600), which are natural to seek as manifestations of the ρ^±ρ⁰ decay channels in the reactions γN → ρ^±ρ⁰ N and γN → ρ^±ρ⁰Δ. A classification of the ρ^±ρ⁰ states according to their quantum numbers is presented. A model for the spin structure of the amplitudes for the reactions γp → f ₂(1270)p, γp → a ₂ ⁰ (1320)p, and γN → X ^±(N, Δ) is proposed, and estimates are obtained for the corresponding cross sections. At E _γ≈6 GeV, it is found that σ(γP → f ₂(1270)p)≈0.12 μb, σ(γp → a ₂ ⁰ (1320)p)≈0.25 μb, σ(γN → X ^± N → ρ^±ρ⁰ N) ≈ 0.018 μb, and σ(γp → X ⁻Δ⁺⁺ → ρ⁻ρ⁰Δ⁺⁺≈0.031 μb. The problem of isolating signals from X ^± states against the natural background that is associated with other channels of π^±π⁰π⁺π⁻ production is discussed. It is deduced that searches for exotic states X ^±(2⁺ (2⁺⁺)) in experiments at JLAB will be quite efficient—for example, the yield of about 2.8×10⁶ events per month is expected to correspond to the estimated cross sections for the reactions γN → X ^± N → ρ^±ρ⁰ N. __________ Translated from Yadernaya Fizika, Vol. 63, No. 10, 2000, pp. 1904–1912.

Quantum phase diagram for homogeneous Bose‐Einstein condensate

We calculate the quantum phase transition for a homogeneous Bose gas in the plane of s‐wave scattering length a_s and temperature T. This is done by improving a one‐loop result near the interaction‐free Bose‐Einstein critical temperature T_c⁽⁰⁾ with the help of recent high‐loop results on the shift of the critical temperature due to a weak atomic repulsion based on variational perturbation theory. The quantum phase diagram shows a nose above T_c⁽⁰⁾, so that we predict the existence of a reentrant transition above T_c⁽⁰⁾, where an increasing repulsion leads to the formation of a condensate.     

Clusters of cycles

A cluster of cycles (or (r,q)-polycycle) is a simple planar 2-connected finite or countable graph G of girth r and maximal vertex-degree q, which admits an (r,q)-polycyclic realization P(G) on the plane. An (r,q)-polycyclic realization is determined by the following properties: (i) all interior vertices are of degree q; (ii) all interior faces (denote their number by p_r) are combinatorial r-gons; (iii) all vertices, edges and interior faces form a cell-complex.An example of (r,q)-polycycle is the skeleton of (r^q), i.e. of the q-valent partition of the sphere, Euclidean plane or hyperbolic plane by regular r-gons. Call spheric pairs (r,q)=(3,3),(4,3),(3,4),(5,3),(3,5). Only for those five pairs, P((r^q)) is (r^q) without exterior face; otherwise, P((r^q))=(r^q).Here we give a compact survey of results on (r,q)-polycycles. We start with the following general results for any (r,q)-polycycle G: (i) P(G) is unique, except of (easy) case when G is the skeleton of one of the five Platonic polyhedra; (ii) P(G) admits a cell-homomorphism f into (r^q); (iii) a polynomial criterion to decide if given finite graph is a polycycle, is presented.Call a polycycle proper if it is a partial subgraph of (r^q) and a helicene, otherwise. In [ARS Comb. A 29 (1990) 5], all proper spheric polycycles are given. An (r,q)-helicene exists if and only if p_r>(q−2)(r−1) and (r,q)≠(3,3). We list the (4,3)-, (3,4)-helicenes and the number of (5,3)-, (3,5)-helicenes for first interesting p_r. Any outerplanar (r,q)-polycycle G is a proper (r,2q−2)-polycycle and its projection f(P(G)) into (r^2q−2) is convex. Any outerplanar (3,q)-polycycle G is a proper (3,q+2)-polycycle.The symmetry group Aut(G) (equal to Aut(P(G)), except of Platonic case) of an (r,q)-polycycle G is a subgroup of Aut((r^q)) if it is proper and an extension of Aut(f(P(G))), otherwise. Aut(G) consists only of rotations and mirrors if G is finite, so its order divides one of the numbers 2r, 4 or 2q. Almost all polycycles G have trivial AutG.Call a polycycle G isotoxal (or isogonal, or isohedral) if AutG is transitive on edges (or vertices, or interior faces); use notation IT (or IG, or IH), for short. Only r-gons and non-spheric (r^q) are isotoxal. Let T^*(l,m,n) denote Coxeter’s triangle group of a triangle on S², E² or H² with angles π/l, π/m, π/n and let T(l,m,n) denote its subgroup of index 2, excluding motions of 2nd kind. We list all IG- or IH-polycycles for spheric (r,q) and construct many examples of IH-polycycles for general case (with AutG being above two groups for some parameters, including strip and modular groups). Any IG-, but not IT-polycycle is infinite, outerplanar and with same vertex-degree, we present two IG-, but not IH-polycycles with (r,q)=(3,5),(4,4) and AutG=T(2,3,∞)PSL(2,Z), T^*(2,4,∞). Any IH-polycycle has the same number of boundary edges for each its r-gon. For any r≥5, there exists a continuum of quasi-IH-polycycles, i.e. not isohedral, but all r-gons have the same 1-corona.On two notions of extremal polycycles:

1. We found for the spheric (r,q) the maximal number n_int of interior points for an (r,q)-polycycle with given p_r; in general case, (p_r/q)≤n_int<(rp_r/q) if any r-gon contains an interior point.

2. All non-extendible (r,q)-polycycles (i.e. not a proper subgraph of another (r,q)-polycycle) are (r^q), four special ones, (possibly, but we conjecture their non-existence) some other finite (3,5)-polycycles, and, for any (r,q)≠(3,3),(3,4),(4,3), a continuum of infinite ones.

On isometric embedding of polycycles into hypercubes Q_m, half-hypercubes and, if infinite, into cubic lattices Z_m, : for (r,q)≠(5,3),(3,5), there are exactly three non-embeddable polycycles (including (4³)−e, (3⁴)−e); all non-embeddable (5,3)-polycycles are characterized by two forbidden sub-polycycles with p₅=6.
