Light beats the spread: “non‐diffracting” beams

“Non‐diffracting” beams do not spread as they propagate. This property is useful in many areas. Here, the theory, generation, properties, and applications of various “non‐diffracting” beams, including the Bessel beam, Mathieu beam, and Airy beam is reviewed. Applications include imaging, micromanipulation, nonlinear optics, and optical transfection.

Implementation of atomic basis set composed of 1s Gaussian and 1s Slater-type orbitals to carry out quantum mechanics molecular calculations

A mixed atomic basis set formed with ls Slater-type orbitals and 1s floating spherical Gaussian orbitals is implemented. Evaluation of multicenter integrals is carried out using a method based on expansion of binary products of atomic basis functions in terms of a complete basis set, and a systematic analysis is performed. The proposed algorithm is very stable and furnishes fairly good results for total energy and geometry. An LCAO-SCF test calculation is carried out on LiH. The trends observed show that there are some combinations of mixed orbitals that are appropriate to describe the system. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 20: 604–609, 1999     

Freezing limits for Calogero–Moser–Sutherland particle models

One-dimensional interacting particle models of Calogero–Moser–Sutherland type with N particles can be regarded as diffusion processes on suitable subsets of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ like Weyl chambers and alcoves with second-order differential operators as generators of the transition semigroups, where these operators are singular on the boundaries of the state spaces. The most relevant examples are multivariate Bessel processes and Heckman–Opdam processes in a compact and noncompact setting where in all cases, these processes are related to special functions associated with root systems. More precisely, the transition probabilities can be described with the aid of multivariate Bessel functions, Jack and Heckman–Opdam Jacobi polynomials, and Heckman–Opdam hypergeometric functions, respectively. These models, in particular, form dynamic eigenvalue evolutions of the classical random matrix models like β-Hermite, β- Laguerre, and β-Jacobi, that is, MANOVA, ensembles. In particular, Dyson's Brownian motions and multivariate Jacobi processes are included. In all cases, the processes depend on so-called coupling parameters. We review several freezing limit theorems for these diffusions where, for fixed N, one or several of the coupling parameters tend to ∞. In many cases, the limits will be N-dimensional normal distributions and, in the process case, Gauss processes. However, in some cases, normal distributions on half spaces and distributions related to some other ensembles appear as limits. In all cases, the limits are connected with the zeros of the classical one-dimensional orthogonal polynomials of order N.     

Automorphic integrals with log-polynomial period functions and arithmetical identities

Building on the works of S. Bochner on equivalence of modular relation with functional equation associated to the Dirichlet series, K. Chandrasekharan and R. Narasimhan obtained new equivalences between the functional equation and some arithmetical identities. Sister Ann M. Heath considered the functional equation in the Hawkins and Knopp context and showed its equivalence to two arithmetical identities associated with entire modular cusp integrals involving rational period functions for the full modular group. In this paper we use techniques of Chandrasekharan and Narasimhan to prove results analogous to those of Sister Ann M. Heath. Specifically, we establish equivalence of two arithmetical identities with a functional equation associated with automorphic integrals involving log-polynomial-period functions on the discrete Hecke groups.
