On log-Sobolev inequalities for infinite lattice systems

For a system on an infinite lattice, we show that a Gibbs measure for a smooth local specification ={E } satisfying the Dobrushin uniqueness theorem also satisfies log-Sobolev inequality, provided it is satisfied for one-dimensional measures E _l .     

Nuclear polarization by electron paramagnetic resonance in paramagnetic crystals

The possibility of the polarization of nuclei in paramagnetic salts by saturation of electron paramagnetic resonance is theoretically analyzed. The proposed method assumes saturation of the forbidden transition of the typeM=±1, m=±1, ±2, for mutually perpendicular external magnetic and high-frequency fields. The analysis is carried out for the case of a large quadrupole moment of the nucleus. The degree of orientation attained is comparable in order of magnitude with Overhauser's method. This method is particularly suitable for the polarization of nuclei of transuranium elements.

Quasi-Periodic Solutions for Two-Level Systems

We consider the Schrödinger equation for a class of two-level atoms in a quasi-periodic external field in the case in which the spacing 2 between the two unperturbed energy levels is small, and we study the problem of finding quasi-periodic solutions of a related generalized Riccati equation. We prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions of the latter equation for a Cantor set of values of around the origin which is of positive Lebesgue measure: such solutions can be obtained from the formal power series by a suitable resummation procedure. The set can be characterized by requesting infinitely many Diophantine conditions of Melnikov type.     

Zeta function continuation and the Casimir energy on odd and even dimensional spheres

The zeta function continuation method is applied to compute the Casimir energy on spheresS ^N. Both odd and even dimensional spheres are studied. For the appropriate conformally modified Laplacian the Casimir energy is shown to be finite for all dimensions even though, generically, it should diverge in odd dimensions due to the presence of a pole in the associated zeta function (s). The residue of this pole is computed and shown to vanish in our case. An explicit analytic continuation of (s) is constructed for all values ofN. This enables us to calculate exactly and we find that the Casimir energy vanishes in all even dimensions. For odd dimensions is never zero but alternates in sign asN increases through odd values. Some results are also derived for the Casimir energy of other operators of Laplacian type.     

Generalized solutions of the radiative transfer equations in a singular case

This paper is devoted to the study of the radiative transfer equations: First, we prove a global existence theorem, which allows a blow-up of the opacity _v() when 0. Thus, it extends Mercier's previous result [13]. This proof relies mainly on a nonlinear version of Hille-Yosida theorem: see Crandall-Ligett [9].Then, we prove the uniqueness of the semigroup solving (TR), and some regularity results (in the class of functions with bounded variation).Finally, we prove the convergence of some splitting algorithms associated to (TR).

Duality in parameter space and approximation of measures for mixing repellers

For one-dimensional expanding mapsT with an invariant measure we consider, in a parameter space, the envelope _n of the real lines associated to any couple of points of the orbit, connected byn iterations ofT. If the map hass inverses and is piecewise linear, then the sets _n are just the union ofs ⁿ points and converge to the invariant Cantor set ofT. A correspondence between all the sets and their measures is established and allows one to associate the atomic measure on ₁ to the completly continuous measure on the Cantor set. If the map is nonlinear, hyperbolic, and hass inverses, the sets _n are homeomorphic to the Cantor set; they converge to the Cantor set ofT and their measures converge to the measure of the Cantor set whenn. The correspondence between the sets _n allows one to define converging approximation schemes for the map an its measure: one replaces each of thes ⁿ disjoint sets with a point in a convenient neighborhood and a probability equal to its measure and transforms it back to the original set ₁. All the approximations with linear Cantor systems previously proposed are recovered, the converging proprties being straightforward in the present scheme. Moreover, extensions to higher dimensionality and to nondisconnected repellers arte possible and are briefly examined.     

The effect of microsegregation on the generation of dislocations in zinc single crystals

The applicability of Tiller's considerations on the production of dislocations is proved. The density of dislocations appearing during impurity microsegregation increases with increasing rate of growth as a consequence of the corresponding change in the effective distribution coefficient. The real value of C at the microsegregation boundaries is at least twice as great as the average value of the concentration of impurities in the crystal in question.

The Polyakov path integral over bordered surfaces (the open string amplitudes)

We use the Feynman functional quantization scheme adapted to the gauge theories with reparametrization invariance to the functional covariant first quantization of the open bosonic BDHP string in a position representation. The consistent functional integral representation of the open string propagator is derived and evaluated. This result is used as a starting point for two kinds of constructions of the off-shell multiloop open string amplitudes. The general idea of the presented approach is to consider the off-shell amplitudes as functionals on the space of contours endowed with an intrinsic metric or on the space /₊.

A Generalized Hypergeometric Function II. Asymptotics and <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">4</Emphasis></Subscript> Symmetry

In previous work we introduced and studied a function that generalizes the hypergeometric function. In this paper we focus on a similarity-transformed function , with parameters ⁴ related to the couplings c⁴ by a shift depending on a ₊ , a _– . We show that the -function is invariant under all maps w(), with w in the Weyl group of type D ₄ . Choosing a ₊ , a _– positive and real, we obtain detailed information on the |Re v| asymptotics of the -function. In particular, we explicitly determine the leading asymptotics in terms of plane waves and the c-function that implements the similarity R.

Über die an „Schwachen“ Grenzflächen Entstehenden Kopfwellen

Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Kopfwellen untersucht, die beim Auffallen einer harmonischen Schall-Kugelwelle auf die Ebene Grenzfläche zwischen zwei flüssigen Medien entstehen. Vorausgesetzt wird, daß die Grenzfläche schwach ist, d. h. daß die Geschwindigkeit der Schallwellen im Medium mit der Erregungsquelle nur um weniges kleiner ist als die Geschwindigkeit der Schallwellen im Medium ohne die Quelle.

The theory of the spinning impact of imperfectly elastic bodies

The first theoretical solution is given of the spinning impact of an imperfectly elastic sphere on a rigid, imperfectly rough plane. The method of solution is based on the general static theory of the impact of rough bodies, elaborated by one of the authors in 1952 [5]. The problem leads to a non-linear differential equation, which can be solved only by an approximate numerical method. The results of the theory are in good agreement with the experiments carried out in 1947 [4].

The propagation of excitation energy in perturbed crystals

The process of the propagation of excitation energy in perturbed dielectric crystals with a weak bond between the atoms having zero permanent dipole moment is studied. It is shown that on certain assumptions this process of propagation can be regarded as the motion of a Frenkel exciton in the electrostatic field of the defect. Frenkel's exciton can be characterized in this case as a neutral polarizable particle having induced dipole moment equal to the change in the induced dipole moment of the crystal during the excitation of one of its atoms.
