Coupled channel T-operator equations with connected kernels: (I). Three-body problem with pairwise interactions

Previous work on T-operator coupled equations for two-channel systems is generalized and applied to the problem of three bodies interacting via pair potentials. Sets of coupled, integral equations for the two-body arrangement channel T-operators are derived using a channel coupling array W, and the connectedness properties of the kernels of these equations are discussed. It is shown that either disconnected or connected (iterated) kernels can be obtained by various choices of W. One particular realization of the coupled equations is seen to be similar but not identical to the Lovelace form of the Faddeev equations. Since the matrix form of the coupled equations is similar to the one-body Lippmann-Schwinger equation, the introduction of Møller wave operators is straightforward, and these are used to derive coupled integral equations for the channel state vectors.     

Spinor Wave Equation of Electromagnetic Field

In this paper, we give two spinor wave equations of free electromagnetic field, corresponding to the reducibility and irreducibility representations D ¹⁰+D ⁰¹ and D ¹⁰ of the proper Lorentz group, which are the differential equations of space-time one order. The spinor equations are covariant and are equivalent to Maxwell equations.     

On the electrodynamics of the type II superconductors

Using the two fluid model, modified Londons equations have been obtained for the type II superconductors in the Schubnikov state (H _c1<H<H _c2). The effect of the normal electrons which form the cores of the flux vortices have been included. These equations can be reduced to the Londons equations under suitable assumptions. The electric field inside the superconductor and the field equations have also been obtained.     

The interior field of a magnetized Einstein-Maxwell object

Using the harmonic map ansatz, we reduce the axisymmetric, static Einstein-Maxwell equations coupled with a magnetized perfect fluid to a set of Poisson-like equations. We were able to integrate the Poisson equations in terms of an arbitrary function M = M(ϱ, ζ) and some integration constants. The thermodynamic equation restricts the solutions to only some state equations, but in some cases when the solution exists, the interior solution can be matched with the corresponding exterior one.     

Exact renormalization group and Φ-derivable approximations

We show that the so-called Φ-derivable approximations can be combined with the exact renormalization group to provide efficient non-perturbative approximation schemes. On the one hand, the Φ-derivable approximations allow for a simple truncation of the infinite hierarchy of the renormalization group flow equations. On the other hand, the flow equations turn the non-linear equations that derive from the Φ-derivable approximations into an initial value problem, offering new practical ways to solve these equations.     

A variational principle for symplectic connections

We introduce a variational principle for symplectic connections and study the corresponding field equations. For two-dimensional compact symplectic manifolds we determine all solutions of the field equations. For two-dimensional non-compact simply connected symplectic manifolds we give an essentially exhaustive list of solutions of the field equations. Finally we indicate how to construct from solutions of the field equations on (M, ω) solutions of the field equations on the cotangent bundle to M with its standard symplectic structure.     

Analysis of the Bethe ansatz equations of the XXZ model

We analyse the Bethe ansatz equations of the XXZ model in the antiferromagnetic region, without assuming a priori the existence of strings. Excited states are described by a finite number of parameters. These parameters satisfy a closed system of equations, which we obtain by eliminating the parameters of the vacuum from the original Bethe ansatz equations. Strings are only particular solutions of these equations.     

A stochastic derivation of the Sivashinsky equation for the self-turbulent motion of a free particle

Within the framework of the Kershaw approach and of a hypothesis on spatial stochasticity, the relativistic equations of Lehr and Park, Guerra and Ruggiero, and Vigier for stochastic Nelson mechanics are obtained. In our model there is another set of equations of the hydrodynamical type for the drift velocityv _i(x _j,t) and stochastic velocityu _i(x _j,t) of a particle. Taking into account quadratic terms in l, the universal length, we obtain from these equations the Sivashinsky equations forv _i(x _j,t) in the caseu _i →0. In the limit l →0, these equations acquire the Newtonian form.     

Similarity reductions and new nonlinear exact solutions for the 2D incompressible Euler equations

For the 2D and 3D Euler equations, their existing exact solutions are often in linear form with respect to variables x, y, z. In this paper, the Clarkson–Kruskal reduction method is applied to reduce the 2D incompressible Euler equations to a system of completely solvable ordinary equations, from which several novel nonlinear exact solutions with respect to the variables x and y are found.     

The symmetries of Dynkin diagrams and the reduction of Toda field equations

The exist generalizations of the Toda lattice equations involving the Cartan matrices constructed from the simple and extended root systems of any simple Lie algebra. Toda's original equations correspond to the large-N limit of SU(N). All these equations are known to constitute the integrability conditions for a certain linear problem and as such to have remarkable properties. The symmetries of the equations are investigated by studying the corresponding Dynkin diagrams which conveniently encode the structure of the equations. Corresponding to each conjugacy class of this symmetry group, “reductions” of the equations may be made whereby identification of symmetrically related variables leads to new, self-consistent equations which are integrable in the same sense as before. The new equations which can be regarded as multicomponent generalizations of the Bullough-Dodd equation are shown to correspond precisely to the generalized Cartan matrices classified in the mathematical literature.     

Computing the Scaling Exponents in Fluid Turbulence from First Principles: Demonstration of Multiscaling

We develop a consistent closure procedure for the calculation of the scaling exponents ζ _n of the nth-order correlation functions in fully developed hydro-dynamic turbulence, starting from first principles. The closure procedure is constructed to respect the fundamental rescaling symmetry of the Euler equation. The starting point of the procedure is an infinite hierarchy of coupled equations that are obeyed identically with respect to scaling for any set of scaling exponents ζ _n . This hierarchy was discussed in detail in a recent publication by V. S. L'vov and I. Procaccia. The scaling exponents in this set of equations cannot be found from power counting. In this paper we present in detail the lowest non-trivial closure of this infinite set of equations, and prove that this closure leads to the determination of the scaling exponents from solvability conditions. The equations under consideration after this closure are nonlinear integro-differential equations, reflecting the nonlinearity of the original Navier–Stokes equations. Nevertheless they have a very special structure such that the determination of the scaling exponents requires a procedure that is very similar to the solution of linear homogeneous equations, in which amplitudes are determined by fitting to the boundary conditions in the space of scales. The renormalization scale that is necessary for any anomalous scaling appears at this point. The Hölder inequalities on the scaling exponents select the renormalization scale as the outer scale of turbulence L. We demonstrate that the solvability condition of our equations leads to non-Kolmogorov values of the scaling exponents ζ _n . Finally, we show that this solutions is a first approximation in a systematic series of improving approximations for the calculation of the anomalous exponents in turbulence.     

General N-solitons and their dynamics in several nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations

General N-solitons in three recently-proposed nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations are presented. These nonlocal equations include the reverse-space, reverse-time, and reverse-space–time nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which are nonlocal reductions of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) hierarchy. It is shown that general N-solitons in these different equations can be derived from the same Riemann–Hilbert solutions of the AKNS hierarchy, except that symmetry relations on the scattering data are different for these equations. This Riemann–Hilbert framework allows us to identify new types of solitons with novel eigenvalue configurations in the spectral plane. Dynamics of N-solitons in these equations is also explored. In all the three nonlocal equations, their solutions often collapse repeatedly, but can remain bounded or nonsingular for wide ranges of soliton parameters as well. In addition, it is found that multi-solitons can behave very differently from fundamental solitons and may not correspond to a nonlinear superposition of fundamental solitons.     

Integral equations for the scattering of N identical particles

Integral equations are obtained for the scattering of N identical particles using a form of the N-particle scattering equations derived previously. The equations couple together only transition operators between physical two cluster channels, the breakup amplitudes being expressed in terms of quadratures over two-cluster amplitudes. The kernel of the equations becomes connected after a single iteration. The number of coupled equations for identical particles is $\text{1}\text{2}\text{N}\text{or}\text{1}\text{2}\text{(N?1)}$ when N is even or odd respectively.     

Transformation of Gorkov's equation for type II superconductors into transport-like equations

The stationary behavior of type II superconductors is completely described by Gorkov's equations for a set of four Green's functions, supplemented by two self-consistency equations for gap parameterΔ(r) and vector potentialA(r). Expanding all quantities as usual at the Fermi surface and averaging over impurity positions, this set of equations is transformed into a simpler set for integrated Green's functions (which still contain much more information than is needed in most cases). The resulting equations, when linearized, yield essentially Lüders' transport equation for de Gennes' correlation function. The full equations contain all the known results and provide a promising starting point for numerical calculations. The thermodynamic potential is constructed as a functional of the integrated Green's functions and the mean fieldsΔ andA and a variational principle is formulated which uses this functional. Finally, paramagnetic scatterers are included (in Born approximation) as an example for possible generalizations of the new equations.     

A new hierarchy of coupled degenerate hamiltonian equations

A new hierarchy of pairs of coupled nonlinear evolution equations is proposed. The first pair of coupled equations can be reduced to the single equation w_tt - w_tx ± 4e^w = 0. It is shown that the equations in this hierarchy possess an infinite number of conserved densities, and that a degenerate symplectic structure can be introduced to the whole hierarchy.     

On the theory of collective motion in nuclei. III. From Hamiltonian dynamics to vortex-free fluidity

It is assumed that the Hamiltonian for collective motion in nuclei is invariant under the orthogonal group O(n, $\text{R}$). For degenerate orbits in phase space it is shown that the classical Hamiltonian equations reduce to the equations of a vortex-free fluid with a velocity field determined by independent equations of motion.     

Non-Abelian Vortices on Riemann Surfaces: an Integrable Case

We consider U(n + 1) Yang–Mills instantons on the space Σ × S ², where Σ is a compact Riemann surface of genus g. Using an SU(2)-equivariant dimensional reduction, we show that the U(n + 1) instanton equations on Σ × S ² are equivalent to non-Abelian vortex equations on Σ. Solutions to these equations are given by pairs (A,?), where A is a gauge potential of the group U(n) and ? is a Higgs field in the fundamental representation of the group U(n). We briefly compare this model with other non-Abelian Higgs models considered recently. Afterwards we show that for g > 1, when Σ × S ² becomes a gravitational instanton, the non-Abelian vortex equations are the compatibility conditions of two linear equations (Lax pair) and therefore the standard methods of integrable systems can be applied for constructing their solutions.     

An O(N logN) alternating-direction finite difference method for two-dimensional fractional diffusion equations

Fractional diffusion equations model phenomena exhibiting anomalous diffusion that cannot be modeled accurately by the second-order diffusion equations. Because of the nonlocal property of fractional differential operators, the numerical methods for fractional diffusion equations often generate dense or even full coefficient matrices. Consequently, the numerical solution of these methods often require computational work of O(N³) per time step and memory of O(N²) for where N is the number of grid points.
