Algebro-Geometric Solution of the Discrete KP Equation over a Finite Field out of a Hyperelliptic Curve

We transfer the algebro-geometric method of construction of solutions of the discrete KP equation to the finite field case. We emphasize the role of the Jacobian of the underlying algebraic curve in construction of the solutions. We illustrate in detail the procedure on example of a hyperelliptic curve.Acknowledgement The paper was partially supported by the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn under the grant 522-1307-0201 and by KBN grant 2 P03B 12622.     

On multivortices in the electroweak theory II: Existence of Bogomol'nyi solutions in ℝ2

In this paper we study the Bogomol'nyi equations of the electroweak theory in the full plane. We will show that, for any distribution of the vortices, there exists a two parameter family of gauge-distinct solutions. Moreover, we also establish some sharp decay rate estimates for these solutions.Research supported in part by NSF grant DMS-88-02858 and DOE grant DE-FG02-86ER250125     

Convergence to nonlinear diffusion waves for solutions of a system of hyperbolic conservation laws with damping

We consider a model of hyperbolic conservation laws with damping and show that the solutions tend to those of a nonlinear parabolic equation time-asymptotically. The hyperbolic model may be viewed as isentropic Euler equations with friction term added to the momentum equation to model gas flow through a porous media. In this case our result justifies Darcy's law time-asymptotically. Our model may also be viewed as an elastic model with damping.Research supported in part by Energy Dept. grant DEFG 02-88-ER25053Research supported in part by NSF grant DMS 90-0226 and Army grant DAAL 03-91-G0017     

Unusual direction of waves in the piston model for tsunami

Asymptotic solutions of the tsunami piston model with initial data in the form of Gaussian exponentials with oscillations are considered. The direction of waves described by these solutions is studied. Initial conditions are found that excite waves of unusual direction. The result is confirmed numerically. This work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant no.05-01-00968.     

Scattering for the wave equation on the Schwarzschild Metric

We study the wave equation for the Schwarzschild metric. Wave operators are constructed which yield solutions with given asymptotic behavior either at infinity or on the horizon. We prove asymptotic completeness for these wave operators.Supported by NSF grant No. PHY82-204399.     

The large time stability of sound waves

We demonstrate the existence of solutions to the full 3×3 system of compressible Euler equations in one space dimension, up to an arbitrary timeT>0, in the case when the initial data has arbitrarily large total variation, and sufficiently small supnorm. The result applies to periodic solutions of the Euler equations, a nonlinear model for sound wave propagation in gas dynamics. Our analysis establishes a growth rate for the total variation that depends on a new length scaled that we identify in the problem. This length scale plays no role in 2×2 systems, (or any system possessing a full set of Riemann coordinates), nor in the small total variation problem forn×n systems, the cases originally addressed by Glimm in 1965. Recent work by a number of authors has demonstrated that when the total variation is sufficiently large, solutions of 3×3 systems of conservation laws can in general blow up in finite time, (independent of the supnorm), due to amplifying instabilities created by the non-trivial Lie algebra of the vector fields that define the elementary waves. For the large total variation problem, there is an interaction between large scale effects that amplify and small scale effects that are stable, and we show that the length scale on which this interaction occurs isd. In the limitd, we recover Glimm's theorem, and we observe that there exist linearly degenerate systems within the class considered for which the growth rate we obtain is sharp.Supported in part by NSF Applied Mathematics grant numbers DMS-92-06631, DMS-95000694, in part by ONR, US Navy grant number N00014-94-1-0691, A Guggenheim fellowship, and by the Institute of Theoretical Dynamics, UC-Davis.Partially supported by DOE grant number DE-FG02-88ER25053 while at the Courant Institute, and by NSF grant number DMS-9201581 and DOE grant number DE-FG02-90ER25084.     

Action minima among solutions to a class of Euclidean scalar field equations

We show that for a wide class of Euclidean scalar field equations, there exist non-trivial solutions, and the non-trivial solution of lowest action is spherically symmetric. This fills a gap in a recent analysis of vacuum decay by one of us.Work supported in part by the US National Science Foundation under grant Nr. PHY75-20427     

An Integral Spectral Representation of the Propagator for the Wave Equation in the Kerr Geometry

We consider the scalar wave equation in the Kerr geometry for Cauchy data which is smooth and compactly supported outside the event horizon. We derive an integral representation which expresses the solution as a superposition of solutions of the radial and angular ODEs which arise in the separation of variables. In particular, we prove completeness of the solutions of the separated ODEs. This integral representation is a suitable starting point for a detailed analysis of the long-time dynamics of scalar waves in the Kerr geometry.

Stationary Dyonic regular and black hole solutions

We consider globally regular and black hole solutions in SU(2) Einstein–Yang–Mills–Higgs theory, coupled to a dilaton field. The basic solutions represent magnetic monopoles, monopole–antimonopole systems or black holes with monopole or dipole hair. When the globally regular solutions carry additionally electric charge, an angular momentum density results, except in the simplest spherically symmetric case. We evaluate the global charges of the solutions and their effective action, and analyze their dependence on the gravitational coupling strength. We show, that in the presence of a dilaton field, the black hole solutions satisfy a generalized Smarr type mass formula. B. Kleihaus gratefully acknowledges support by the German Aerospace Center.

Discrete Miura Opers and Solutions of the Bethe Ansatz Equations

Solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations associated to the XXX model of a simple Lie algebra come in families called the populations. We prove that a population is isomorphic to the flag variety of the Langlands dual Lie algebra The proof is based on the correspondence between the solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations and special difference operators which we call the discrete Miura opers. The notion of a discrete Miura oper is one of the main results of the paper.For a discrete Miura oper D, associated to a point of a population, we show that all solutions of the difference equation DY=0 are rational functions, and the solutions can be written explicitly in terms of points composing the population.Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-0140460Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-0244579
