Fock representations of the affine Lie algebraA 1 (1)

The aim of this note is to show that the affine Lie algebraA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ has a natural family _, ,v of Fock representations on the spaceC[x _i,y _j;i andj ], parametrized by (,v) C ². By corresponding the highest weight _, of _, to each (,), the parameter spaceC ₂ forms a double cover of the weight spaceC₀C –₁ with singularities at linear forms of level –2; this number is (–1)-times the dual Coxeter number. Our results contain explicit realizations of irreducible non-integrable highest wieghtA ₁ ⁽¹⁾ -modules for generic (,v).     

Feynman integral and complex classical trajectories

Let _t be an analytic solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition . Let _t be the solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition =, where is an analytic function. When 0, then _t (x) _t (x)¹ ( _t (x)), where _t (x) trajectory starting from x. We relate this result to Feynman's sum over trajectories and complex stochastic differential equations.     

Band-gap structure of the spectrum of periodic Maxwell operators

We investigate the band-gap structure of some second-order differential operators associated with the propagation of waves in periodic two-component media. Particularly, the operator associated with the Maxwell equations with position-dependent dielectric constant (x),xR ³, is considered. The medium is assumed to consist of two components: the background, where (x) = _b , and the embedded component composed of periodically positioned disjoint cubes, where (x) = _a . We show that the spectrum of the relevant operator has gaps provided some reasonable conditions are imposed on the parameters of the medium. Particularly, we show that one can open up at least one gap in the spectrum at any preassigned point provided that the size of cubesL, the distancel=L betwen them, and the contrast = _b / _a are chosen in such a way thatL ^–2, and quantities ^-1-3/2 and ² are small enough. If these conditions are satisfied, the spectrum is located in a vicinity of widthw(^3/2)^-1 of the set {² L ^-2 k ²:kZ³}. This means, in particular, that any finite number of gaps between the elements of this discrete set can be opened simultaneously, and the corresponding bands of the spectrum can be made arbitrarily narrow. The method developed shows that if the embedded component consists of periodically positioned balls or other domains which cannot pack the space without overlapping, one should expect pseudogaps rather than real gaps in the spectrum.     

A finite size analysis of the structure factor in the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg (AFH) model

From a finite size analysis we extract the structure factorS(p, N=) of the one dimensional AFH-model in the groundstate: The gross structure is well described byL (p) = –ln(1– ^p ). The fine structure which only contributes a few percent reveals a pronounced non-linear behavior inL(p) with a maximum atp=0.20 and a minimum atp=0.82.     

Method of moments in analysis of x-ray diffraction lines

A general relation between the moments of the functionsf,g, andh, in the integral equationh(x)=f(y)g(x–y) dy, is derived. This enables any moment of the unknown functionf to be calculated from the moments of the functionsg andh. In particular, if certain assumptions are fulfilled, the moments of the components of the doublet can be calculated with advantage from the moments of the total profile. The statistical significance of the moment characteristics is also emphasized.

Mean-Field Critical Behavior for the Contact Process

The contact process is a model of spread of an infectious disease. Combining with the result of ref. 1, we prove that the critical exponents take on the mean-field values for sufficiently high dimensional nearest-neighbor models and for sufficiently spread-out models with d>4:()– _c as _c and ()( _c–)^–1 as _c, where () and () are the spread probability and the susceptibility of the infection respectively, and _c is the critical infection rate. Our results imply that the upper critical dimension for the contact process is at most 4.     

Experimental survey of the sticking problem in muon catalyzed dt fusion

The sticking process dt + n, which constitutes the most severe limit to the number of fusions which a muon can catalyze, is reviewed. Many attempts were made to determine by calculations and measurements the probability for initial sticking _s ⁰ (immediately after dt fusion) and for final sticking _s (after the came to rest). Previous results based on neutron disappearance rates and on the observation of -X-rays were controversial and also in some disagreement with theory. New data are reported from PSI on direct observation of final sticking, using a setup with the St. Petersburg ionization chamber. These data mark a significant improvement in reliability and may clarify questions concerning previous discrepancies. The new results is _s(0.56±0.04)%, lower than the theory prediction _s=(0.65±0.03)%, at medium density.

Ergodic properties of infinite-dimensional stochastic systems

The ergodic properties of two stochastic models _I and _II are investigated. Each model is described by a fieldx(t),t > 0, on the lattice =Z ^d,d < . For _I,x(t) evolves according to the equations wherex _s (t) R for eachs eF. Here the {w_s(t): s } are independent, one-dimensional Wiener processes, ₂ is a bounded interaction between adjacent lattice sites, and the potentials ₁ and ₂ satisfy appropriate regularity conditions. It is shown that for each model,x(t) is a Markov process on an infinite-dimensional phase spaceX. The probability measures onX that satisfy the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle (DLR) conditions are stationary for this process and have a mixing property. Moreover, for _I any stationary, time-reversal-invariant probability measure that has certain regularity properties must satisfy the DLR conditions.This paper is based on a portion of the author's Ph.D. thesis.⁽²⁾     

A solution spectrum of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. II

It was shown in a previous communication that the nonlinear Schrödinger equation exhibits a spectrum of eigenfunctions of the form = _k,A _k (coshkx) ^–k and = _k B _k (coshkx) ^–k–1sinhkx, and the corresponding eigenvalues of the energy are related to a band structure with a characteristic energy gap as a significant feature. In the present paper, it is shown that a further spectrum exists exhibiting the general structure = _k=0 A _k(cosh kx)^–k–1/2and = _k=0 B_k(cosh kx)^–k–3/2sinhkx and yielding also a band structure. An extension of the solution spectrum to a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation and a nonlinear Dirac equation does not imply essential difficulties, and the corresponding characteristic band structure has to be related to a mass spectrum.     

A matrix method for estimating the Liapunov exponent of one-dimensional systems

Let : [0, 1][0, 1] be a piecewise monotonie expanding map. Then admits an absolutely continuous invariant measure. A result of Kosyakin and Sandler shows that can be approximated by a sequence of absolutely continuous measures _n invariant under piecewise linear Markov maps _itn. Each _itn is constructed on the inverse images of the turning points of . The easily computable measures _n are used to estimate the Liapunov exponent of . The idea of using Markov maps for estimating the Liapunov exponent is applied to both expanding and nonexpanding maps.

Dynamics of vector spin glasses: The Gabay-Toulouse line

The dynamics of ann-component vector spin glass with infinite range interactions are investigated near and above the Gabay-Toulouse (GT) line. The local transverse susceptibility _T for 0 varies along the whole GT lineT _c1 (H) as ^v , with a field and temperature independent critical exponentv=1/2. The longitudinal susceptibility _L () remains analytic for all (T, H)T _c1 (H), except for a cross-over fromv=1 tov=1/2 forH0 at the freezing temperatureT=T _f . The dynamic susceptibilities _T () and _L () are already coupled above the GT line via self-energy terms. BelowT _c1 (H), this coupling is strongly enhanced by other mechanisms.

Derivations commuting with abelian gauge actions on lattice systems

Let be an action of a compact abelian groupG on aC*-algebraA, and assume that the fixed-point subalgebraA is an AF-algebra. We show that if is a closed *-derivation onA commuting with , and the restriction of toA generates a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms, then itself is a generator. In particular, the result applies if is an infinite product action ofG on a UHF algebra. Furthermore, if in this situation ₁ and ₂ are two derivations both satisfying the hypotheses on , and ₁ and ₂ have the same restriction toA , then there exists a one-parameter subgroup of the action with generator ₀ such thatD(₁)D(₂)D(₀) is a joint core for the three derivations, and ₂=₁+₀ on this core.     

Hydromagnetic laminar flow of a conducting fluid in an annulus in presence of a radial magnetic field

The object of the present paper is to study the MHD effects on the laminar flow of a viscous, incompressible and conducting fluid in an annulus with arbitrary time-varying pressure gradient and arbitrary initial velocity in presence of a radial magnetic field. Using finite Hankel transform, solutions for both the unsteady and steady flows under different prescribed pressure gradients have been found out.Notation H a constant characterising the intensity of the magnetic field - p hydrostatic pressure - _e magnetic permeability - coefficient of viscosity - kinematic coefficient of voscosity - conductivity of the medium - density - a radius of the inner cylinder - b radius of the outer cylinder - parameter - s positive root - J (sr) Bessel's function of first kind of ordergl - Y (sr) Bessel's function of second kind of order     

Polarization of photo-luminescence of ZnS: Cu monocrystals

Different models of luminescence centres are discussed on the basis of measurements of the composition of ZnS monocrystal photo-luminescence in different polarizations and temperature dependence of the degree of polarization. Those of the models submitted by Birman, which assume the polarization to be due to the different force of the oscillators for transitions withEc andEc, or models assuming luminescence polarization to be due to the orientation of the luminescence centres, agree with the results of experiments, i.e. the temperature independence of the degree of polarization and the conformable spectral composition of both polarizations. It is also shown that measurements made up to now of the degree of polarization must be taken as orientational as a consequence of the depolarizing influence of the diffused rays of luminescence on its value.
