Simulation of statistical errors in a high-rate fiber-optic communications line

Simple analytical formulas are derived for the approximation of the error probability of data transmission in fiber-optic communications lines. A direct numerical simulation of the propagation of narrow and wide optical pulses is performed. A good agreement of the analytical approximation and the numerical results is demonstrated.     

Rotating class of parametric resonance processes in coupled oscillators

We single out and elucidate basic features of strongly coupled parametric oscillators as opposed by symmetry to the type reducible to uncoupled Mathieu equations. The strongly coupled type is essential to the oscillations and waves in rotating structures and chiral systems. It exhibits only the main parametric resonance, no higher-order ones. As well, the relaxation–fluctuation behavior is unusual, characterized by a negative-energy oscillation mode that is, nonetheless, stable so the Gibbs statistics lose its force. The models presented are exactly solvable.     

Group-renormalization approach in quantum field theory in curved spacetime with torsion

The nature of the interaction of the gauge models SU(N) and O(N) with an external torsion field is studied from the group-renormalization point of view. Consideration of the radiation corrections to the nonminimal interaction gives a possible explanation for the absence of a torsion field in observational data.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 34–38, October, 1990.The authors thank I.

Kernels of Hankel operators and hyponormality of Toeplitz operators

We give a formula for and describe when . We explore the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators whose symbols are of circulant type and some more general types. In addition, we discuss formulas for and estimates of the rank of the self-commutator of a hyponormal Toeplitz operator.

Scaling in soft hadroproduction by positive projectiles in the range of 32–147 GeV/c

The total hadron multiplicity and the multiplicity in the three-jet events ine ⁺ e ^?-annihilation are considered. The formula for the total multiplicity (with account for the heavy quark contribution) agrees well with experiment. The value of the multiplicity for three-jet events is predicted.
