Comparison of the PIC model and the Lie algebraic method in the simulation of intense continuous beam transport

Both the PIC (Particle-In-Cell) model and the Lie algebraic method can be used to simulate the transport of intense continuous beams. The PIC model is to calculate the space charge field, which is blended into the external field, and then simulate the trajectories of particles in the total field; the Lie algebraic method is to simulate the intense continuous beam transport with transport matrixes. Two simulation codes based on the two methods are developed respectively, and the simulated results of transport in a set of electrostatic lenses are compared. It is found that the results from the two codes are in agreement with each other, and both approaches have their own merits.     

Spectral flow invariants and twisted cyclic theory for the Haar state on

In [A.L. Carey, J. Phillips, A. Rennie, Twisted cyclic theory and an index theory for the gauge invariant KMS state on Cuntz algebras. arXiv:0801.4605], we presented a K-theoretic approach to finding invariants of algebras with no non-trivial traces. This paper presents a new example that is more typical of the generic situation. This is the case of an algebra that admits only non-faithful traces, namely SU_q(2) and also KMS states. Our main results are index theorems (which calculate spectral flow), one using ordinary cyclic cohomology and the other using twisted cyclic cohomology, where the twisting comes from the generator of the modular group of the Haar state. In contrast to the Cuntz algebras studied in [A.L. Carey, J. Phillips, A. Rennie, Twisted cyclic theory and an index theory for the gauge invariant KMS state on Cuntz algebras. arXiv:0801.4605], the computations are considerably more complex and interesting, because there are non-trivial ‘eta’ contributions to this index.     

近红外光谱分析中建模校正集的选择

将极大线性无关组的概念及方法引入近红外光谱分析,探讨了在建立定量分析模型时代表性样品,即校正集样品的选择问题。以2 652个烟末样品为实验材料,随机选取1 001个样品构成预测集,其余1 651个样品为代表性样品备选集。用Matlab软件求出代表性样品备选集光谱矩阵的极大线性无关组,以此作为代表性样品,构成建模的校正集。用PLS回归法建立了烟末样品总糖含量定量分析的预测模型,并将模型用于预测集中1 001个烟末样品总糖含量的预测分析。实验结果表明,当选择的校正集包含的样品数量大于32时,所建各模型对预测集样品预测的平均相对误差均小于4%,平均相关系数大于0.96。其中选择32个代表性样品和146个代表性样品所建模型定量分析预测集中各样品的总糖含量,两个结果经统计检验没有显著性差异(α=0.05),说明求极大线性无关组的方法用于校正集样品的选择,可实现“少而精”选择样品的目的。此外,我们用求极大线性无关组选择校正集样品和随机方法选择校正集样品两种方法,选择了同样数目28,32,41,76,146,163个样品建模进行预测效果的对比实验,结果显示,求极大线性无关组法选择校正集建模的预测效果优于随机选择校正集建模的预测效果。     

Low-temperature elastic constants and piezoelectric coefficients of langasite (La3Ga5SiO14)

A complete set of elastic constants C _ij and piezoelectric coefficients e _ij of a La₃Ga₅SiO₁₄ (langasite) single crystal was determined from 5.5 to 275.5?K by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. Unlike a conventional crystal, the elastic constants C _ij of the langasite crystal showed three types of temperature dependence: (i) monotonic elastic stiffening upon cooling (C ₄₄ and C ₁₄); (ii) monotonic elastic softening (C ₆₆); and (iii) a stiffening-to-softening transition below 150?K (C ₁₁, C ₁₂, C ₁₃ and C ₃₃). In addition, a strong correlation between C ₆₆ and the piezoelectric coefficient e ₁₁ was confirmed. Group theoretical lattice dynamics analysis revealed that the novel phenomena of elastic softening and strong correlation are explained on the basis of two types of optical mode internal displacements which have the totally symmetric A ₁ and doubly degenerated E symmetries in the point group D ₃.     

On a supersymmetric nonlinear integrable equation in (2+1) dimensions

A supersymmetric integrable equation in (2+1) dimensions is constructed by means of the approach of the homogenous space of the super Lie algebra, where the super Lie algebra osp(3/2) is considered. For this (2+1) dimensional integrable equation, we also derive its Bäcklund transformation.     

Hopf-algebraic renormalization of QED in the linear covariant gauge

In the context of massless quantum electrodynamics (QED) with a linear covariant gauge fixing, the connection between the counterterm and the Hopf-algebraic approach to renormalization is examined. The coproduct formula of Green’s functions contains two invariant charges, which give rise to different renormalization group functions. All formulas are tested by explicit computations to third loop order. The possibility of a finite electron self-energy by fixing a generalized linear covariant gauge is discussed. An analysis of subdivergences leads to the conclusion that such a gauge only exists in quenched QED.     

From Lie algebra crossed modules to tensor hierarchies

The present paper, though inspired by the use of tensor hierarchies in theoretical physics, establishes their mathematical credentials, especially as genetically related to Lie algebra crossed modules. Gauging procedures in supergravity rely on a pairing – the embedding tensor – between a Leibniz algebra and a Lie algebra. Two such algebras, together with their embedding tensor, form a triple called a Lie-Leibniz triple, of which Lie algebra crossed modules are particular cases. This paper is devoted to showing that any Lie-Leibniz triple induces a differential graded Lie algebra – its associated tensor hierarchy – whose restriction to the category of Lie algebra crossed modules is the canonical assignment associating to any Lie algebra crossed module its corresponding unique 2-term differential graded Lie algebra. This shows that Lie-Leibniz triples form natural generalizations of Lie algebra crossed modules and that their associated tensor hierarchies can be considered as some kind of ‘lie-ization’ of the former. We deem the present construction of such tensor hierarchies clearer and more straightforward than previous derivations. We stress that such a construction suggests the existence of further well-defined Leibniz gauge theories.
