Finitely-Generated Projective Modules over the θ-Deformed 4-Sphere

We investigate the “θ-deformed spheres” ${C(S^{3}_{\theta})}$ and ${C(S^{4}_{\theta})}$ , where θ is any real number. We show that all finitely-generated projective modules over ${C(S^{3}_{\theta})}$ are free, and that ${C(S^{4}_{\theta})}$ has the cancellation property. We classify and construct all finitely-generated projective modules over ${C(S^{4}_{\theta})}$ up to isomorphism. An interesting feature is that if θ is irrational then there are nontrivial “rank-1” modules over ${C(S^{4}_{\theta})}$ . In that case, every finitely-generated projective module over ${C(S^{4}_{\theta})}$ is a sum of a rank-1 module and a free module. If θ is rational, the situation mirrors that for the commutative case θ = 0.     

Decay rate ratios of \varUpsilon (5S)\to B{\bar{B}} reactions

We calculate the decay rate ratios for OZI allowed decays of ?(5S) to two B mesons by using the decay amplitudes which incorporate the wave function of the ?(5S) state. We obtain the result that the branching ratio of the ?(5S) decay to $B_{s}^{*}{\bar{B}}_{s}^{*}$ is much larger than the branching ratio to $B_{s}{\bar{B}}_{s}^{*}$ or ${\bar{B}}_{s}B_{s}^{*}$ , in good agreement with the recent experimental results of CLEO and BELLE. This agreement with the experimental results is made possible since the nodes of the ?(5S) radial wave function induce the nodes of the decay amplitude. We find that the results for the ?(5S) decays to $B_{u}^{(*)}{\bar{B}}_{u}^{(*)}$ or $B_{d}^{(*)}{\bar{B}}_{d}^{(*)}$ pairs are sensitive to the parameter values used for the potential between heavy quarks.     

Error Analysis on Photonic Qubit Rotations Implemented by Wave Plates

Optical Poincare sphere rotations $e^{-i\theta\sigma_{x}/2}$ , $e^{-i\theta\sigma_{y}/2}$ and $e^{-i\theta\sigma_{z}/2}$ can be realized by wave-plate combinations. Errors due to combinations with non-ideal wave plates are discussed for three specific combinations (θ=π) by trace distance. The result shows that different settings of combinations affect trace distance: (i) trace distance for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{x}/2}$ equals that for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{z}/2}$ , but both of them are smaller than that for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{y}/2}$ , when optics-axis random errors are considered; (ii) trace distance for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{x}/2}$ also equals that for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{z}/2}$ , but both of them are larger than that for $e^{-i\pi\sigma_{y}/2}$ , when phase-shift random errors are considered. The method outlined in this paper is general and is useful to analyze other combinations.     

One-range Addition Theorems for Noninteger n Slater Functions using Complete Orthonormal Sets of Exponential Type Orbitals in Standard Convention

By the use of complete orthonormal sets of ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -exponential type orbitals ( ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -ETOs) with integer (for α ^* = α) and noninteger self-frictional quantum number α ^*(for α ^* ≠ α) in standard convention introduced by the author, the one-range addition theorems for ${\chi }$ -noninteger n Slater type orbitals ${(\chi}$ -NISTOs) are established. These orbitals are defined as follows $$\begin{array}{ll}\psi _{nlm}^{(\alpha^*)} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = \frac{(2\zeta )^{3/2}}{\Gamma (p_l ^* + 1)} \left[{\frac{\Gamma (q_l ^* + )}{(2n)^{\alpha ^*}(n - l - 1)!}} \right]^{1/2}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}x^{l}_1 F_1 ({-[ {n - l - 1}]; p_l ^* + 1; x})S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )\\ \chi _{n^*lm} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = (2\zeta )^{3/2}\left[ {\Gamma(2n^* + 1)}\right]^{{-1}/2}x^{n^*-1}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}S_{lm}(\theta ,\varphi ),\end{array}$$ where ${x=2\zeta r, 0<\zeta <\infty , p_l ^{\ast}=2l+2-\alpha ^{\ast}, q_l ^{\ast}=n+l+1-\alpha ^{\ast}, -\infty <\alpha ^{\ast} <3 , -\infty <\alpha \leq 2,_1 F_1 }$ is the confluent hypergeometric function and ${S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )}$ are the complex or real spherical harmonics. The origin of the ${\psi ^{(\alpha ^{\ast})} }$ -ETOs, therefore, of the one-range addition theorems obtained in this work for ${\chi}$ -NISTOs is the self-frictional potential of the field produced by the particle itself. The obtained formulas can be useful especially in the electronic structure calculations of atoms, molecules and solids when Hartree–Fock–Roothan approximation is employed.     

Influence of assortativity and degree-preserving rewiring on the spectra of networks

Newman’s measure for (dis)assortativity, the linear degree correlation coefficient $\rho _{D}$ , is reformulated in terms of the total number N _k of walks in the graph with k hops. This reformulation allows us to derive a new formula from which a degree-preserving rewiring algorithm is deduced, that, in each rewiring step, either increases or decreases $\rho _{D}$ conform our desired objective. Spectral metrics (eigenvalues of graph-related matrices), especially, the largest eigenvalue $\lambda _{1}$ of the adjacency matrix and the algebraic connectivity $\mu _{N-1}$ (second-smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian) are powerful characterizers of dynamic processes on networks such as virus spreading and synchronization processes. We present various lower bounds for the largest eigenvalue $\lambda _{1}$ of the adjacency matrix and we show, apart from some classes of graphs such as regular graphs or bipartite graphs, that the lower bounds for $\lambda _{1}$ increase with $\rho _{D}$ . A new upper bound for the algebraic connectivity $\mu _{N-1}$ decreases with $\rho _{D}$ . Applying the degree-preserving rewiring algorithm to various real-world networks illustrates that (a) assortative degree-preserving rewiring increases $\lambda _{1}$ , but decreases $\mu _{N-1}$ , even leading to disconnectivity of the networks in many disjoint clusters and that (b) disassortative degree-preserving rewiring decreases $\lambda _{1}$ , but increases the algebraic connectivity, at least in the initial rewirings.     

On q-Deformed {\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Whittaker Function II

A representation of a specialization of a q-deformed class one lattice ${\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}$ -Whittaker function in terms of cohomology groups of line bundles on the space ${\mathcal{QM}_d(\mathbb{P}^{\ell})}$ of quasi-maps ${\mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^{\ell}}$ of degree d is proposed. For ? = 1, this provides an interpretation of the non-specialized q-deformed ${\mathfrak{gl}_{2}}$ -Whittaker function in terms of ${\mathcal{QM}_d(\mathbb{P}^1)}$ . In particular the (q-version of the) Mellin-Barnes representation of the ${\mathfrak{gl}_2}$ -Whittaker function is realized as a semi-infinite period map. The explicit form of the period map manifests an important role of q-version of Γ-function as a topological genus in semi-infinite geometry. A relation with the Givental-Lee universal solution (J-function) of q-deformed ${\mathfrak{gl}_2}$ -Toda chain is also discussed.     

From nonassociativity to solutions of the KP hierarchy

A recently observed relation between ‘weakly nonassociative’ algebras $\mathbb{A}$ (for which the associator ( $\mathbb{A},\mathbb{A}^2 ,\mathbb{A}$ ) vanishes) and the KP hierarchy (with dependent variable in the middle nucleus $\mathbb{A}$ ′ of { $\mathbb{A}$ ) is recalled. For any such algebra there is a nonassociative hierarchy of ODEs, the solutions of which determine solutions of the KP hierarchy. In a special case, and with matrix algebra $\mathbb{A}$ ′, this becomes a matrix Riccati hierarchy which is easily solved. The matrix solution then leads to solutions of the scalar KP hierarchy. We discuss some classes of solutions obtained in this way.     

Formation of Light p-shell Ξ − Hypernucleus Via (K −, K +) Reaction

We have calculated ⁷Li(K ^?, K ⁺) reaction spectrum at ${p_{K^-} = 1.65}$ GeV/c and ${\theta_{K}^{+} = 0^\circ}$ within the framework of distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) using the ${[\Xi^-{-}^6{\rm He}(0^+)]-[\Xi^-{-}^6{\rm He}^*(2^+)]}$ coupled-channel Green’s function approach, and examined whether the peak corresponding to the Ξ ^? hypernuclear states can be visible in the reaction spectrum, by employing various Ξ ^??⁶He effective potentials.     

Non-Isothermal Boundary in the Boltzmann Theory and Fourier Law

In the study of the heat transfer in the Boltzmann theory, the basic problem is to construct solutions to the following steady problem: $$v \cdot \nabla _{x}F =\frac{1}{{\rm K}_{\rm n}}Q(F,F),\qquad (x,v)\in \Omega \times \mathbf{R}^{3}, \quad \quad (0.1) $$ v · ? x F = 1 K n Q ( F , F ) , ( x , v ) ∈ Ω × R 3 , ( 0.1 ) $$F(x,v)|_{n(x)\cdot v<0} = \mu _{\theta}\int_{n(x) \cdot v^{\prime}>0}F(x,v^{\prime})(n(x)\cdot v^{\prime})dv^{\prime},\quad x \in\partial \Omega,\quad \quad (0.2) $$ F ( x , v ) | n ( x ) · v < 0 = μ θ ∫ n ( x ) · v ′ > 0 F ( x , v ′ ) ( n ( x ) · v ′ ) d v ′ , x ∈ ? Ω , ( 0.2 ) where Ω is a bounded domain in ${\mathbf{R}^{d}, 1 \leq d \leq 3}$ R d , 1 ≤ d ≤ 3 , K_n is the Knudsen number and ${\mu _{\theta}=\frac{1}{2\pi \theta ^{2}(x)} {\rm exp} [-\frac{|v|^{2}}{2\theta (x)}]}$ μ θ = 1 2 π θ 2 ( x ) exp [ - | v | 2 2 θ ( x ) ] is a Maxwellian with non-constant(non-isothermal) wall temperature θ(x). Based on new constructive coercivity estimates for both steady and dynamic cases, for ${|\theta -\theta_{0}|\leq \delta \ll 1}$ | θ - θ 0 | ≤ δ ? 1 and any fixed value of K_n, we construct a unique non-negative solution F _s to (0.1) and (0.2), continuous away from the grazing set and exponentially asymptotically stable. This solution is a genuine non-equilibrium stationary solution differing from a local equilibrium Maxwellian. As an application of our results we establish the expansion ${F_s=\mu_{\theta_0}+\delta F_{1}+O(\delta ^{2})}$ F s = μ θ 0 + δ F 1 + O ( δ 2 ) and we prove that, if the Fourier law holds, the temperature contribution associated to F ₁ must be linear, in the slab geometry.     

Finite W-Superalgebras and Truncated Super Yangians

Let ${Y_{m|n}^{\ell}}$ be the super Yangian of general linear Lie superalgebra for ${\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}}$ . Let ${e \in \mathfrak{gl}_{m\ell|n\ell}}$ be a “rectangular” nilpotent element and ${\mathcal{W}_e}$ be the finite W-superalgebra associated to e. We show that ${Y_{m|n}^{\ell}}$ is isomorphic to ${\mathcal{W}_e}$ .     

Weyl’s Law and Connes’ Trace Theorem for Noncommutative Two Tori

We prove the analogue of Weyl’s law for a noncommutative Riemannian manifold, namely the noncommutative two torus ${\mathbb{T}_{\theta}^{2}}$ equipped with a general translation invariant conformal structure and a Weyl conformal factor. This is achieved by studying the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues of the perturbed Laplacian on ${\mathbb{T}_{\theta}^{2}}$ . We also prove the analogue of Connes’ trace theorem by showing that the Dixmier trace and a noncommutative residue coincide on pseudodifferential operators of order ?2 on ${\mathbb{T}_{\theta}^{2}}$ .     

Quantum Curves for Hitchin Fibrations and the Eynard–Orantin Theory

We generalize the topological recursion of Eynard–Orantin (JHEP 0612:053, 2006; Commun Number Theory Phys 1:347–452, 2007) to the family of spectral curves of Hitchin fibrations. A spectral curve in the topological recursion, which is defined to be a complex plane curve, is replaced with a generic curve in the cotangent bundle T*C of an arbitrary smooth base curve C. We then prove that these spectral curves are quantizable, using the new formalism. More precisely, we construct the canonical generators of the formal ${\hbar}$ -deformation family of D modules over an arbitrary projective algebraic curve C of genus greater than 1, from the geometry of a prescribed family of smooth Hitchin spectral curves associated with the ${SL(2,\mathbb{C})}$ -character variety of the fundamental group π₁(C). We show that the semi-classical limit through the WKB approximation of these ${\hbar}$ -deformed D modules recovers the initial family of Hitchin spectral curves.     

A Remark on the Unconditionally Convergent Series

For every unconditionally convergent series $\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}x_{j}$ in sequentially complete Abelian topological group, we show that the sum $\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}x_{\theta(j)}$ is same for all permutations θ:?→?. This result justify the measures defined on quantum structures.     

Asymptotic Analysis of the Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation: Grazing Collisions Limit

In the present work, we consider the asymptotic problem of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation when almost all collisions are grazing, that is, the deviation angle $\theta $ of the collision is limited near zero (i.e., $\theta \le \epsilon $ ). We show that by taking the proper scaling to the cross-section which was used in [37], that is, assuming $$\begin{aligned} B^\epsilon ( v-v_{*},\sigma )=2(1-s)|v-v_*|^{\gamma }\epsilon ^{-3}\sin ^{-1}\theta \left( \frac{\theta }{\epsilon }\right) ^{-1-2s}\mathrm {1}_{\theta \le \epsilon }, \end{aligned}$$ where $\theta = \langle \theta ={\frac{\upsilon -\upsilon _*}{|\upsilon -\upsilon _*|}}.\sigma \rangle , $ the solution $f^\epsilon $ of the Boltzmann equation with initial data $f_0$ can be globally or locally expanded in some weighted Sobolev space as $$\begin{aligned} f^\epsilon = f+ O(\epsilon ), \end{aligned}$$ where the function $f$ is the solution of Landau equation, which is associated with the grazing collisions limit of Boltzmann equation, with the same initial data $f_0$ . This gives the rigorous justification of the Landau approximation in the spatially homogeneous case. In particular, if taking $\gamma =-3$ and $s=1-\epsilon $ in the cross-section $B^\epsilon $ , we show that the above asymptotic formula still holds and in this case $f$ is the solution of Landau equation with the Coulomb potential. Going further, we revisit the well-posedness problem of the Boltzmann equation in the limiting process. We show there exists a common lifespan such that the uniform estimates of high regularities hold for each solution $f^\epsilon $ . Thanks to the weak convergence results on the grazing collisions limit in [37], in other words, we establish a unified framework to establish the well-posedness results for both Boltzmann and Landau equations.     

Structure of some FeII − III hydroxysalt green rusts (carbonate, oxalate, methanoate) from Mössbauer spectroscopy

The abundances of Fe^II and Fe^III environments within green rusts one, GR1s, that intercalate carbonate, oxalate and methanoate (formate) anions are found from Mössbauer spectra for compositions corresponding to [Fe $^{\rm II}_{6}$ Fe $^{\rm III}_{2}$ (OH)₁₆]^2?+??[CO $_{3}^{2-}$ ?5H₂O]^2???, [Fe $^{\rm II}_{4}$ Fe $^{\rm III}_{2}$ (OH)₁₂]^2?+??[CO $_{3}^{2-}$ ?3H₂O]^2???, [Fe $^{\rm II}_{6}$ Fe $^{\rm III}_{2}$ (OH)₁₆]^2?+??[C₂O $_{4}^{2-}$ ?4H₂O]^2??? and [Fe $^{\rm II}_{5}$ Fe $^{\rm III}_{2}$ (OH)₁₄]^2?+??[2HCOO^????3H₂O]^2???. These formulae correspond to orders α, β and γ where cation distances are (2 × a ₀), ( $\surd 3$ × a ₀) or a mixture of both leading to (7 × a ₀), where ratio x = {[Fe^III]/[Fe_total]} = 1/4, 1/3 and 2/7, respectively. Anion distributions within interlayers are also devised and long-range orders determined accordingly.     

Supersymmetric particle model with additional bosonic coordinates

A new supersymmetric particle model in enlarged superspace with additional bosonic coordinatesz _ij , \(\bar z_{ij} \) (z _ij =?z _ji ;i=1...N, N even) canonically conjugated to central charges is quantized. The superwave functions which are obtained through first quantization are the free superfields on the enlarged superspace \((x^\mu , \theta _{\alpha i} , \bar \theta _i^{\dot \alpha } , z_{ij} , \bar z_{ij} )\) . Two particular cases (N=2 with one additional complex bosonic coordinate andN=8 with seven additional real coordinates) are considered in more detail.     

Charged Higgs observability through associated production with W ± at a muon collider

The observability of a charged Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson at future muon colliders is studied. The analysis is performed within the MSSM framework. The charged Higgs is assumed to decay to $t\bar{b}We study $B_{s}^{0} \to J/\psi f_{0}(980)$ decays, the quark content of f ₀(980) and the mixing angle of f ₀(980) and ??(600). We calculate not only the factorizable contribution in the QCD factorization scheme but also the nonfactorizable hard spectator corrections in QCDF and pQCD approach. We get a result consistent with the experimental data of $B_{s}^{0} \to J/\psi f_{0}(980)$ and predict the branching ratio of $B_{s}^{0}$ ?CJ/???. We suggest two ways to determine f ₀?C?? mixing angle ??. Using the experimental measured branching ratio of $B_{s}^{0} \to J/\psi f_{0}(980)$ , we can get the f ₀?C?? mixing angle ?? with some theoretical uncertainties. We suggest another way to determine the f ₀?C?? mixing angle ?? using both experimental measured decay branching ratios $B_{s}^{0} \to J/\psi f_{0}(980) (\sigma)$ to avoid theoretical uncertainties.     

Extensions of Ordering Sets of States from Effect Algebras onto Their MacNeille Completions

In (Rie?anová and Zajac in Rep. Math. Phys. 70(2):283–290, 2012) it was shown that an effect algebra E with an ordering set $\mathcal{M}$ of states can by embedded into a Hilbert space effect algebra $\mathcal{E}(l_{2}(\mathcal{M}))$ . We consider the problem when its effect algebraic MacNeille completion $\hat{E}$ can be also embedded into the same Hilbert space effect algebra $\mathcal {E}(l_{2}(\mathcal{M}))$ . That is when the ordering set $\mathcal{M}$ of states on E can be extended to an ordering set of states on $\hat{E}$ . We give an answer for all Archimedean MV-effect algebras and Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebras.
