Factorization of the scattering matrix and the location of the eigenvalues of the Manakov-Zakharov-Shabat system

We show the scattering matrix associated to the Manakov-Zakharov-Shabat (MZS) system can be factorized as the product of two scattering matrices associated to the Zakharov-Shabat (ZS) system of the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, whenever the initial conditions of the Manakov system have disjoint support. Moreover, if these initial conditions are assumed to be single-lobe, the eigenvalues of the MZS system are purely imaginary.     

On the problem of the distribution of impurity ions in the F-region of the ionosphere

One-dimensional nonisothermal diffusion in ionospheric plasma (the F-region) is considered in the stationary case. The analysis is carried out for two species of positive ions with allowance for the ionization and recombination processes and the effect of gravity. A system of two coupled equations is derived for the concentrations of the electrons and ions. A transition is made to the case when the ions which determine dissociative recombination are impurity ions. For this case criteria are presented whose fulfilment causes the distribution that has been found to coincide with that obtained by Mange [9] without allowance for photochemical processes.

On the predictability of the positions of the convergence zones in the ocean

The disagreement between the experimental and calculated positions of the first convergence zone are known from many publications. The most probable cause for such a disagreement, namely, the incorrect specification of the input data for the calculations, is considered. The lack of simultaneity between the hydrological surveys of the region and the acoustic experiments is emphasized. The experimental data obtained by the author in five ocean regions are presented. These data characterize the diurnal variability of the distance from the source to the nearest boundary of the convergence zone. The relations proposed by different researchers for calculating the sound speed from the temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure are analyzed. It is shown that these relations lead to a substantial difference in the estimated depth dependence of the hydrostatic gradient of the sound speed. The position of the first convergence zone is calculated for the propagation conditions determined by vertical temperature and salinity profiles with the subsequent recalculation of these profiles into sound speed profiles by using eight different formulas known from the literature. It is shown that different formulas lead to different values of the distance to the first zone; this difference is substantially greater than that between the calculations and experiment. The necessity of improving the recalculation relations in view of the experimental data on sound propagation in natural oceanic waveguides, including the data on the actual positions of the convergence zones, is emphasized.     

On the calculation of the bremsstrahlung in the region of the plasma frequency

On the basis of the classical theory of radiation produced in incomplete Coulomb interaction, a formula is derived for the coefficient of the bremsstrahlung of fully ionized plasma. In the region of rectilinear approximation a comparison is made with the results of the quantum formula derived from the Born approximation. Furthermore, the influence of dispersion upon the emission coefficient is taken into account; some relations for the region of dispersion are given.     

Calculation of the vacuum condensates of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor

Detection of the spectra of multicharged ions with time resolution and the determination of the parameters of the hot component of the plasma in the case of the magnetic implosion of multiwire arrays

The dynamics of the hot component of the plasma of imploding multiwire arrays has been analyzed using the time behavior of the X-ray spectral lines of multicharge ions. The spectra of H- and He-like aluminum ions with nanosecond time resolution have been detected using electron-optical chronography in experiments on the implosion of multiwire arrays by mega-ampere currents. The simultaneous appearance of the resonance lines of H- and He-like ions implies that the hot plasma whose electron temperature is higher than 0.5 keV has existed on the axis before the implosion of the main mass of the liner. The further dynamics of the intensity of the lines is primarily attributed to an increase in the mass of the emitting plasma.     

Equivalence of the method of the kinetic equation and the fluctuating-frequency method in the theory of the broadening of spectral lines

A new expression for the Stark profiles of spectral lines in plasma has been obtained by the method of the kinetic equation taking into account the dynamics of the plasma microfield. The result represents a dynamic line profile in the form of simple functionals of a static profile. The relation of the new solution with the known fluctuating-frequency method has been analyzed. It has been shown that this method is a discrete analog of the method of the kinetic equation and passes to the latter method in the limit of the continuous fluctuations. Simple formulas (4), (5), and (21) for dynamic line profiles provide ultrafast calculations of the profiles of spectral lines taking into account the dynamics of the plasma microfield.

Effect of the dependence of the specular reflectance on the angle of incidence of electrons on the impedance

We obtain the solution to the problem of the skin effect in a metal with specular-diffusion boundary conditions for arbitrary values of the anomaly parameter in the form of the Neumann series. For this purpose, we develop a method based on the idea of representation of not only the boundary condition imposed on the field (as is conventionally done), but also the boundary condition imposed on the distribution function, in the form of a source. The specular reflectance is an arbitrary function of the angle of incidence of electrons on the metal surface.     

Determination of the mass spectrum of the bound state in the framework of the relativistic hamiltonian approach

We propose one a variant of calculation of the energy spectrum of bound state systems with relativistic corrections. In the framework of quantum field theory, an expression that takes into account relativistic corrections to the mass of the bound state with a known nonrelativistic pair interaction potential is proposed on the basis of calculating the asymptotic behavior of correlation functions of the corresponding field currents with the necessary quantum numbers. Excluding the time variables allows one to determine nonperturbative corrections to the interaction potential. The following results have been obtained in the framework of this approach. The nonperturbative corrections arising due to the relativistic nature of a system to the interaction Hamiltonian are determined. The dependence of the constituent mass of bound-state forming particles on the free state mass and on the orbital and radial quantum numbers is analytically derived. The energy level shift of muonic hydrogen taking into account relativistic corrections is calculated. The energy spectrum of a wide class of potentials that describe the Coulomb bound state is analytically derived with relativistic corrections. The mass spectrum of the glueballs and the constituent masses of the gluons are analytically calculated taking into account spin-orbit, spin—spin, and tensor interactions. Our numerical results have shown very good agreement with the lattice data. Taking into account nonperturbative and nonlocality characters of interactions, the mass spectrum of the mesons consisting of light-light and light-heavy quarks with orbital and radial excitations is determined. Our results show that good agreement with the experimental data for the slope and the intercept of the Regge trajectory can be obtained only taking into account the nonperturbative and the nonlocal characters of interactions. The dependences of the constituent masses of constituent particles on the masses of a free state are certain. When quarks are light, then the difference between current and valent masses of quarks is greater than valent masses of quarks, and when quarks are heavy, then the difference between these masses is insignificant. One of the alternative variants of taking nonlocality into account has been suggested for the definition of properties of hadrons at large distances. The dependence of the constituent masses of constituent particles on the radius of confinement is determined.     

Contributions of the cornea and the lens to the aberrations of the human eye

The relative contributions of optical aberrations of the cornea and the crystalline lens to the final image quality of the human eye were studied. The aberrations of the entire eye were obtained from pairs of double-pass retinal images, and the aberrations of the cornea were obtained from videokeratographic data. Third-order spherical aberration and coma were significantly larger for the cornea than for the complete eye, indicating a significant role of the lens in compensating for corneal aberrations. In a second experiment retinal images were recorded in an eye before and after we neutralized the aberrations of the cornea by having the subjects wear swimming goggles filled with saline water, providing a direct estimate of the optical performance of the crystalline lens.     

Contribution to the problem of the influence of the electric field on the conductivity of amorphous semiconductors

On the base of a polycrystalline model of amorphous material the possible mechanism of the influence of the electric field on the conductivity of amorphous semiconductors is explained. It is supposed that multiple tunnelling takes place through the barriers between the crystallites while in consequence of the work performed by the field the electron gets into the region of high mobility (i.e. into the energy region corresponding to high mobility).     

On the Locality of the No Hair Conjecture and the Measure of the Universe

We reanalize the recently proposed proof by Jensen and Stein-Schabes [1] of the No Hair Theorem for inhomogeneous spacetimes, putting a special emphasis on the asymptotic behaviour of the shear and curvature. We conclude that the theorem only holds locally and estimate the minimum size a region should be in order for it to inflate. We discuss in some detail the assumptions used in the theorem. In the last section we speculate about the possible measure of the set of spacetimes that would undergo inflation.

Experimental test of the compatibility of the definitions of the electromagnetic energy density and the Poynting vector

It is shown that the generally accepted definition of the Poynting vector and the energy flux vector defined by means of the energy density of the electromagnetic field (Umov vector) lead to the prediction of the different results touching electromagnetic energy flux. The experiment shows that within the framework of the mentioned generally accepted definitions the Poynting vector adequately describes the electromagnetic energy flux unlike the Umov vector. Therefore one can conclude that a generally accepted definitions of the electromagnetic energy density and the Poynting vector, in general, are not always compatible.
