R-Operator, Co-Product and Haar-Measure for the Modular Double of

A certain class of unitary representations of U_q((2,)) has the property of being simultanenously a representation of for a particular choice of (q). Faddeev has proposed to unify the quantum groups U_q((2,)) and into some enlarged object for which he has coined the name ``modular double'. We study the R-operator, the co-product and the Haar-measure for the modular double of U_q((2,)) and establish their main properties. In particular it is shown that the Clebsch-Gordan maps constructed in [PT2] diagonalize this R-operator.     

Existence of solutions for Schrödinger evolution equations

We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution of the initial value problem for the time dependent Schrödinger equationiu/t=(–1/2)u+V(t,x)u,u(0)=u ₀. We provide sufficient conditions onV(t,x) such that the equation generates a unique unitary propagatorU(t,s) and such thatU(t,s)u ₀C ¹(,L ²) C ⁰(H ²( ⁿ )) foru ₀H ²( ⁿ ). The conditions are general enough to accommodate moving singularities of type x^–2+(n4) or x^–n/2+(n3).

The vacuum and lightcone quantization of interaction Hamiltonians

Let denote the conformally invariant neutral free scalar field on ×S ⁿ. The naive lightcone Hamiltonian for a ^p interaction is given by c^p, where C denotes a lightcone in ×S ⁿ, and the Wick power is relative to the free vacuum. We show that this sesquilinear form annihilates the free vacuum if n3 is odd, p>2, and p(n–1)0 mod 4.

Semi-global solutions of Einstein equations,minkowskian near past infinity

On a universe homeomorphic toV ^T =]– ,T[x³, we prove the existence of solutions of Einstein equations, minkowskian near past infinity, if the sources are small enough for some norms. We prove that some of these solutions verify at least the positivity condition (Weak energy condition) on some domains homeomorphic toV ^T .

Effective Dynamics for Bloch Electrons: Peierls Substitution and Beyond

We consider an electron moving in a periodic potential and subject to an additional slowly varying external electrostatic potential, (x), and vector potential A(x), with x ^d and 1. We prove that associated to an isolated family of Bloch bands there exists an almost invariant subspace of L ² ( ^d ) and an effective Hamiltonian governing the evolution inside this subspace to all orders in . To leading order the effective Hamiltonian is given through the Peierls substitution. We explicitly compute the first order correction. From a semiclassical analysis of this effective quantum Hamiltonian we establish the first order correction to the standard semiclassical model of solid state physics.

Kinetic limits of the HPP cellular automaton

We study the Boltzmann-Grad limit in various versions of the two-dimensional HPP cellular automaton. In the completely deterministic case we prove convergence to an evolution that is not of kinetic type, a well-known phenomenon after Uchyiama's paper on the Broadwell gas, whereas the limiting equation becomes of kinetic type in the model with random collisions. The main part of the paper concerns the case where the collisions are deterministic and the randomness comes from inserting, between any two successive HPP updatings, ^- stirring updatings, <1 being any fixed positive number and a parameter which tends to 0. The initial measure is a product measure with average occupation numbers of the order of (low-density limit) and varying on distances of the order of ^–1. The limit as 0 of the system evolved for times of the order of ^-1- corresponds to the Boltzmann-Grad limit. We prove propagation of chaos and that the renormalized average occupation numbers (i.e., divided by) converge to the solution of the Broadwell equation. Convergence is proven at all times for which the solution of the Broadwell equation is bounded.

Intersections of random walks. A direct renormalization approach

Various intersection probabilities of independent random walks ind dimensions are calculated analytically by a direct renormalization method, adapted from polymer physics. This heuristic approach, based on Edwards' continuum model, leads to a straightforward derivation and also to refinements of Lawler's results for the simultaneous intersections of two walks in ⁴, or three walks in ³. These results are generalized toP walks in ^d *, ,P2. Ford<4, an infinite set of universal critical exponents _L ,L1, are derived. They govern the asymptotic probability thatL star walks in ^d , with a common origin, do not intersect before timeS. The _L 's are calculated up to orderO(²), whered=4–. This information is used to calculate the probability that a set of independent random walks in ^d or ^d ,d4, (respectivelyd3) form a given topological networks of multiple intersection points, in the absence of any other double point (respectively triple point). This is generalized to a network in dimension with exclusion ofP-tuple points. The method is quite general and can be used to calculate any critical intersection probability, and provides the probabilist with a large variety of exact results (yet to be proven rigorously).     

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.

Long-time tails in lattice Lorentz gases

We consider a Lorentz gas on a square lattice with a fraction c of scattering sites. The collision laws are deterministic (fixed mirror model) or stochastic (with transmission, reflection, and deflection probabilities ,, and respectively). If all mirrors are parallel, the mirror model is exactly solvable. For the general case a self-consistent ring kinetic equation is used to calculate the longtime tails of the velocity correlation function (0) (t) and the tensor correlation Q(0)Q(t) withQ= _{x y} . Both functions showt ^–2 tails, as opposed to the continuous Lorentz gas, where the tails are respectivelyt ^–2 andt ^–3. Inclusion of the self-consistent ring collisions increases the low-density coefficient of the tail in (0)(t) by 30–100% as compared to the simple ring collisions, depending on the model parameters.     

A contribution to direct processes in the Co59(p,n) reaction forE p ∼ 6·5 MeV

Nuclear emulsions were used to study the energy spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry of neutrons from the Co⁵⁹(p,n) reaction forE _p 6·5 MeV. It was found that the decay of the compound nucleus makes a maximum contribution of 50% to the reaction yield. Energies of some excited states of the Ni⁵⁹ nucleus were also determined.

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.
