A diastereoselective synthesis 1-trimethylsilyl-(E)-1,3-alkenynes and a simple synthesis of alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones via organoboranes

A convenient, novel diastereoselective synthesis of 1-trimethylsilyl-(E)-1,3-alkenynes and a convenient synthesis of alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones based on Z-1-bromo-1-alkenylboronate esters are developed. α-Bromo-(Z)-1-alkenylboronate esters readily available using literature procedures smoothly undergo a reaction with trimethylsilylethynyllithium (derived from the deprotonation of trimethylsilylethyne with n-butyllithium) in tetrahydrofuran to provide the corresponding ‘ate’ complexes. These ‘ate’ complexes undergo intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions to afford the corresponding (E)-1-alkenylboronate esters containing trimethylsilylethynyl moiety which upon protonolysis with acetic acid provide the corresponding 1-trimethylsilyl-(E)-1,3-alkenynes in good yields (70-82%) and in high stereochemical purities (>98%). These intermediates upon oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and sodium acetate afford the corresponding alkyl trimethylsilylethynyl ketones in good yields (66-78%).     

Stable and unstable vortices in multicomponent bose-einstein condensates

We study the stability and dynamics of vortices in two-species condensates as prepared in the recent JILA experiment [Matthews et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2498 (1999)]. We find that of the two possible configurations, in which one species has vorticity m = 1 and the other one has m = 0, only one is linearly stable, which agrees with the experimental results. However, it is found that in the unstable case the vortex is not destroyed by the instability, but may be transferred from one species to the other or display complex spatiotemporal dynamics.     

A counterexample on non-archimedean regularity

A non-regular inductive sequence of non-archimedean reflexive Fréchet spaces is constructed. On the other hand, it is proved that every inductive sequence of reflexive Banach spaces over a spherically complete field is regular. Also, some applications are given.     

Perturbation theory of p-adic Fredholm and semi-Fredholm operators

The main goal of this paper is to prove that Fredholm and semi-Fredholm operators between p-adic (or non-archimedean) Banach spaces, as well as the index of those that are Fredholm, are preserved when they are perturbed by a small operator. In this way we obtain the non-archimedean counterparts of some well-known results of classical Operator Theory. For non-spherically complete fields the classical techniques are no longer valid in the p-adic context, which forces us to seek a completely different way to attack the problem. The p-adic concept of orthogonality will be one of the key tools to get our purpose.     

Λ0-Nuclear Operators and Λ0-Nuclear Spaces in p-adic Analysis

For a Köthe sequence space, the classes of ₀-nuclear spaces and spaces with the ₀-property are introduced and studied and the relation between them is investigated. Also, we show that, for ₀c ₀, these classes of spaces are in general different from the corresponding ones for ₀=c ₀, which have been extensively studied in the non-archimedean literature (see, for example, [1]–[6]).     

Stability of Local Quantum Dissipative Systems

Open quantum systems weakly coupled to the environment are modeled by completely positive, trace preserving semigroups of linear maps. The generators of such evolutions are called Lindbladians. In the setting of quantum many-body systems on a lattice it is natural to consider Lindbladians that decompose into a sum of local interactions with decreasing strength with respect to the size of their support. For both practical and theoretical reasons, it is crucial to estimate the impact that perturbations in the generating Lindbladian, arising as noise or errors, can have on the evolution. These local perturbations are potentially unbounded, but constrained to respect the underlying lattice structure. We show that even for polynomially decaying errors in the Lindbladian, local observables and correlation functions are stable if the unperturbed Lindbladian has a unique fixed point and a mixing time that scales logarithmically with the system size. The proof relies on Lieb–Robinson bounds, which describe a finite group velocity for propagation of information in local systems. As a main example, we prove that classical Glauber dynamics is stable under local perturbations, including perturbations in the transition rates, which may not preserve detailed balance.     

UNEXPECTED SUBSPACES OF TENSOR PRODUCTS

We describe complemented copies of ₂ both in C(K₁) C(K₂) when at least one of the compact spaces K_iis not scattered and in L₁(µ₁)L₁(µ₂) when at least one of the measures is not atomic.The corresponding local construction gives uniformly complementedcopies of the in c₀ c₀. We continue the study of c₀ c₀ showing that it contains a complementedcopy of Stegall's space and proving that (c₀ c₀)' is isomorphicto , together with other results. In the last section we use Hardy spaces to find an isomorphiccopy of L_p in the space of compact operators from L_q to L_r,where 1 < p, q, r < and 1/r = 1/p + 1/q.     

Stability of fronts separating domains with different symmetries in hydrodynamical instabilities

A generalization of the Swift-Hohenberg (SH) equation is used to study several stationary patterns that appear in hydrodynamical instabilities. The corresponding amplitude equations allow one to find the stability of planforms with different symmetries. These results are compared with numerical simulations of a generalized SH equation (GSHE). The transition between different symmetries, the hysteretic effects, and the characteristics of the defects observed in experiments are well reproduced in these simulations. The existence of steady fronts between domains with different symmetries is also analyzed. Steady domain boundaries between hexagons and rolls, and between hexagons and squares are possible solutions in the amplitude equation framework and are obtained in numerical simulations for a full range of coefficients in the GSHE.
