A Stochastic Version of the Noether Theorem

A stochastic version of the Noether theorem is derived for systems under the action of external random forces. The concept of moment generating functional is employed to describe the symmetry of the stochastic forces. The theorem is applied to two kinds of random covariant forces. One of them generated in an electrodynamic way and the other is defined in the rest frame of the particle as a function of the proper time. For both of them, it is shown the conservation of the mean value of a random drift momentum. The validity of the theorem makes clear that random systems can produce causal stochastic correlations between two faraway separated systems, that had interacted in the past. In addition possible connections of the discussion with the Ives Couder’s experimental results are remarked.

Hamiltonian dynamics and Noether symmetries in Extended Gravity Cosmology

We discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics for cosmologies coming from Extended Theories of Gravity. In particular, minisuperspace models are taken into account searching for Noether symmetries. The existence of conserved quantities gives selection rule to recover classical behavior in cosmic evolution according to the so-called Hartle criterion, which allows one to select correlated regions in the configuration space of dynamical variables. We show that such a statement works for general classes of Extended Theories of Gravity and is conformally preserved. Furthermore, the presence of Noether symmetries allows a straightforward classification of singularities that represent the points where the symmetry is broken. Examples for non-minimally coupled and higher-order models are discussed.     

Central Limit Theorem for Exponentially Quasi-local Statistics of Spin Models on Cayley Graphs

Central limit theorems for linear statistics of lattice random fields (including spin models) are usually proven under suitable mixing conditions or quasi-associativity. Many interesting examples of spin models do not satisfy mixing conditions, and on the other hand, it does not seem easy to show central limit theorem for local statistics via quasi-associativity. In this work, we prove general central limit theorems for local statistics and exponentially quasi-local statistics of spin models on discrete Cayley graphs with polynomial growth. Further, we supplement these results by proving similar central limit theorems for random fields on discrete Cayley graphs taking values in a countable space, but under the stronger assumptions of \(\alpha \)-mixing (for local statistics) and exponential \(\alpha \)-mixing (for exponentially quasi-local statistics). All our central limit theorems assume a suitable variance lower bound like many others in the literature. We illustrate our general central limit theorem with specific examples of lattice spin models and statistics arising in computational topology, statistical physics and random networks. Examples of clustering spin models include quasi-associated spin models with fast decaying covariances like the off-critical Ising model, level sets of Gaussian random fields with fast decaying covariances like the massive Gaussian free field and determinantal point processes with fast decaying kernels. Examples of local statistics include intrinsic volumes, face counts, component counts of random cubical complexes while exponentially quasi-local statistics include nearest neighbour distances in spin models and Betti numbers of sub-critical random cubical complexes.     

Extended Kelvin Theorem in Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics

We prove the existence of a generalization of Kelvin's circulation theorem in general relativity which is applicable to perfect isentropic magnetohydrodynamic flow. The argument is based on a new version of the Lagrangian for perfect magnetohydrodynamics. We illustrate the new conserved circulation with the example of a relativistic magnetohydrodynamic flow possessing three symmetries.     

Fractional Stochastic Differential Equations Satisfying Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem

We propose in this work a fractional stochastic differential equation (FSDE) model consistent with the over-damped limit of the generalized Langevin equation model. As a result of the ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’, the differential equations driven by fractional Brownian noise to model memory effects should be paired with Caputo derivatives, and this FSDE model should be understood in an integral form. We establish the existence of strong solutions for such equations and discuss the ergodicity and convergence to Gibbs measure. In the linear forcing regime, we show rigorously the algebraic convergence to Gibbs measure when the ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’ is satisfied, and this verifies that satisfying ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’ indeed leads to the correct physical behavior. We further discuss possible approaches to analyze the ergodicity and convergence to Gibbs measure in the nonlinear forcing regime, while leave the rigorous analysis for future works. The FSDE model proposed is suitable for systems in contact with heat bath with power-law kernel and subdiffusion behaviors.     

Quantum Measurement and Extended Feynman Path Integral

Quantum measurement problem has existed many years and inspired a large of literature in both physics and philosophy, but there is still no conclusion and consensus on it. We show it can be subsumed into the quantum theory if we extend the Feynman path integral by considering the relativistic effect of Feynman paths. According to this extended theory, we deduce not only the Klein--Gordon equation, but also the wave-function-collapse equation. It is shown that the stochastic and instantaneous collapse of the quantum measurement is due to the “potential noise” of the apparatus or environment and “inner correlation” of wave function respectively. Therefore, the definite-status of the macroscopic matter is due to itself and this does not disobey the quantum mechanics. This work will give a new recognition for the measurement problem.     

The Second Noether Theorem in the formalism of jet-bundles: Symmetries and degeneration

By means of the jet-bundle formalism, the Second Noether Theorem is formulated for a general first-order Lagrangian field theory with infinitesimal local symmetries. These symmetries are implemented by a linear differential operator acting between the sections of a vector bundle and vector fields on the configuration bundle. The problem of the degeneration of the Lagrangian system is examined from a covariant and an instantaneous (i.e. space+time split) viewpoint. It is shown that in the instantaneous approach the presence of infinitesimal local symmetries leads to degeneration of the theory. Vertical local symmetries are shown to imply degeneration also in the covariant formalism. These results can be extended to higher-order Lagrangians as well.

The aim of this paper is to study the Herglotz variational principle of the fractional Birkhoffian system and its Noether symmetry and conserved quantities. First, the fractional Pfaff-Herglotz action and the fractional PfaffHerglotz principle are presented. Second, based on different definitions of fractional derivatives, four kinds of fractional Birkhoff’s equations in terms of the Herglotz variational principle are established. Further, the definition and criterion of Noether symmetry of the fractional Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational problem are given. According to the relationship between the symmetry and the conserved quantities, the Noether’s theorems within four different fractional derivatives are derived, which can reduce to the Noether’s theorem of the Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational principle under the classical conditions. As applications of the Noether’s t heorems of the fractional Birkhoffian system in terms of the Herglotz variational principle, an example is given at the end of this paper.

Thermoelectric Viscoelastic Fluid with Fractional Integral and Derivative Heat Transfer

A new mathematical model of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory has been constructed in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with a time-fractional derivative of order 0<$α$≤1 and a time-fractional integral of order 0<$γ$≤2. This model is applied to one-dimensional problems for a thermoelectric viscoelastic fluid flow in the absence or presence of heat sources. Laplace transforms and state-space techniques [1] will be used to obtain the general solution for any set of boundary conditions. According to the numerical results and its graphs, conclusion about the new theory has been constructed. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effects of the fractional order parameters on all the studied fields.

菲涅耳-基尔霍夫积分与半波带法分析衍射光谱

惠更斯菲 涅耳原理指出光的衍射本质是无穷多次波的相干叠加.在研究衍射光谱的强度时可使用菲涅耳-基尔霍夫衍射积分进行计算,但该积分的计算较为复杂.为了简化计算而引入菲涅耳半波带的概念,把积分运算简化为振幅矢量的叠加,从而在研究衍射时由菲涅耳-基尔霍夫衍射积分过渡到菲涅耳半波带法.在菲涅耳半波带法中波前上相邻两个半波带到达叠加点的光程差为半个波长,从而导致相位差π.因此相邻两个半波带引起的振动在叠加点发生相消,最终叠加点的光强由发出次波的半波带数目的奇偶性决定.奇数个半波带在叠加点的光强得到加强,偶数个半波带在叠加点的光强发生相消.
