Perturbations of flows on Banach spaces and operator algebras

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference _t – ' _t are reflected in relations between the generators , . Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if _t – '_t 0.28 for smallt, then = 0(+)°^-1 where is an inner automorphism ofM and is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference _t – ' _t =O(t) ast ; 0, then = + and if _t – ' _t 0.28 for allt then =. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC ₀,C ₀ ^* groups on a Banach space.This paper subsumes an earlier work of the same title which appeared as a report from Z.I.F. der Universität BielefeldWith partial support of the U.S. National Science Foundation     

The vacuum and lightcone quantization of interaction Hamiltonians

Let denote the conformally invariant neutral free scalar field on ×S ⁿ. The naive lightcone Hamiltonian for a ^p interaction is given by c^p, where C denotes a lightcone in ×S ⁿ, and the Wick power is relative to the free vacuum. We show that this sesquilinear form annihilates the free vacuum if n3 is odd, p>2, and p(n–1)0 mod 4.     

The scattering of waves by a periodic surface

The paper derives a general formula for the scattering of electromagnetic (or sound) waves from a periodic, perfectly conducting (or perfectly rigid) surface. No restrictions are imposed on the angle of incidence, the size of the surface or the degree of roughness. Except for the basic Kirchhoff approximation, the method is exact. The results confirm, generalise or correct special cases obtained by more complicated methods.

The use of the repulsive potential in the quantum theory of solids

A new method is proposed for calculating the energy in certain special points of the Brillouin zone. The wave functions of valence and conduction electrons are given in the form of the linear combination of plane waves and the orthogonality condition of these functions to the wave functions of lower states is replaced by the repulsive potential. The practical application of this very simple method is illustrated on the energy spectrum of silicon in the centre of the Brillouin zone. It is proved that the results are comparable with some other methods, e. g. the orthogonalized plane-wave method.

Electronic processes andZ centres in NaCl and KC1 crystals

The paper gives the experimental results of the team-work study of coloured pure and Ca doped NaCl and KC1 crystals. The mechanism of the formation ofR centres by coagulation ofF centres and of the formation ofZ centres fromF centres, cation vacancies and Ca ions is discussed. An alternative model forZ ₃ centres is proposed. The possible connections between physical and chemical behaviour are indicated.

A variational principle giving gravitational “superpotentials,” the affine connection,Riemann tensor,and Einstein field equations

A first-order Lagrangian is given, from which follow the definitions of the fully covariant form of the Riemann tensorR _k in terms of the affine connection and metric; the definition of the affine connection in terms of the metric; the Einstein field equations; and the definition of a set of gravitational superpotentials closely connected with the Komar conservation laws [7]. Substitution of the definition of the affine connection into this Lagrangian results in a second-order Lagrangian, from which follow the definition of the fully covariant Riemann tensor in terms of the metric, the Einstein equations, and the definition of the gravitational superpotentials.Dedicated to Achille Papapetrou on the occasion of his retirement.     

Equations describing particles with two mass states

The paper deals with the basic properties of the simplest equations, corresponding to representation of the Lorentz group with maximum spin 3/2. It gives the representations of matrices which appear in these equations, the subsidiary conditions and solutions in the forceless case. The consistency of the equations after the introduction of electromagnetic interaction is proved and the magnetic moments of the particles are calculated. The equations describing particles with two mass states are dealt with in greater detail. The distinguishability of the two mass states is investigated and the lifetimes of the excited mass states at electromagnetic interaction are calculated.

Surviving extrema for the action on the twisted SU(∞) one point lattice

We give a simplified construction of twist eating configurations, based on a theorem due to Frobenius. These configurations are defined through the equation:U U U ⁺ U ⁺ =exp(2in /N) withU SU(N), =1 tod andn an antisymmetric matrix with integer entries. In the (Twisted)-Eguchi-Kawai model they yield extrema some of which survive forN. Comparison is made with the Monte Carlo data of the internal energy in the small coupling region.     

A contribution to direct processes in the Co59(p,n) reaction forE p ∼ 6·5 MeV

Nuclear emulsions were used to study the energy spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry of neutrons from the Co⁵⁹(p,n) reaction forE _p 6·5 MeV. It was found that the decay of the compound nucleus makes a maximum contribution of 50% to the reaction yield. Energies of some excited states of the Ni⁵⁹ nucleus were also determined.

Symmetries and half-sided modular inclusions of von Neumann algebras

LetN, be a von Neumann algebras on a Hilbert space , a common cyclic and separating vector. Assume to be cyclic and also separating forN . Denote by , _N , _N the modular operators to (, ), (N, ), resp (N , ). Assume now ^-it N ^it N for allt 0. (Such type of inclusions ((N U, ) , ) are called half-sided modular.) Then the modular groups ^it , _N ^ir , _N ^is ,t, r, s generate a unitary representation of the group S1(2, )/Z ₂ of positive energy.Another result is related to two half-sided modular inclusions (₁ , ) and (₂ , ). Under proper conditions the three modular groups ^it , ₁ ^ir , ₂ ^is ,t, r, s generate the three-dimensional subgroup of O(2, 1) of two commuting translations and the Lorentz transformation.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik.

An attempt at a phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a polarizing field on piezoelectric resonators

The change in frequency of quartz piezoelectric resonators in a d-c electric polarizing field cannot be explained merely by a change in the dimensions of the resonator due to the polarizing field caused by the inverse piezoelectric effect and electrostriction. We are forced to admit that the elastic constants also change in a polarizing field. A phenomenological interpretation of the influence of a d-c electric polarizing field on the frequency of quartz resonators is proposed here, based on newly introduced quantities characterizing such a change. In conclusion it is shown in what way the quantities, on which the phenomenological theory is based, can be determined experimentally.

Phase transformations in Cu-Sn alloys containing Ni,Al, Ge,and In

After quenching from 700C and aging, Cu-Sn alloys containing Ni and Al were found to have a precipitation of-solid solution, with a DO₃ type of ordering, of metastable ,, and phases. It was established that the phase has an 4 type of ordering while the phase has the Cu₃Ti type. Observations revealed that Cu-Sn-Al alloys contained two phases, and, with an identical structure but with different ratios of electron concentration per atom.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 34–37, April, 1981.     

Influence of manganese and oxygen content on tetragonal deformation of copper ferrite

Pure copper ferrite and solid solutions of 0.9 parts of copper ferrite CuFe₂ and 0.1 part of hausmannite Mn₃ were heated in air or in oxygen at various temperatures and either cooled slowly or quenched. All samples with cubic spinel structure contained less oxygen than required by the ideal spinel formula Me²⁺Me ₂ ³⁺ O ₄ ^2– . The addition of hausmannite promotes the formation and/or stabilization of the cubic structure. The lower the heating temperature, the higher the oxygen deficiency necessary for the preparation of cubic samples.

In particular, asl, there are finite constants <0 and such that (l), ((l)–)l, and hence (l)=+/l+o(l ^–1). Moreover exp(–c ₁ l) _{l 1}exp(–c ₂ l) forc ₁,c ₂ positive constants, where _{l 1} is theL ¹(Q, d₀) norm of ₁ with respect to the Fock vacuum measure.

Plasma oscillations and dynamical friction

The forceF of mutual interaction of two species of charged particles in relative motion with velocityU is, forU higher than the mean thermal velocities of particles, a decreasing function ofU. This property ofF(U) can give rise to the excitation of electrostatic oscillations.

Die Umwandlung der Fackelentladung in die Hochfrequenz-korona

Zusammenfassung Durch künstliche Senkung der Temperatur der Fackelentladung geht diese Entladung in eine Hochfrequenz-Korona über. Wenn die Temperatur der Entladung sinkt, wächst in ihr die elektrische Feldstärke; dadurch werden die Bedingungen des thermodynamischen Gleichgewichts gestört und es beginnt der Übergang von der thermischen zur elektrischen Ionisation. Die Erläuterung wird durch die Spektralanalyse und das Studium der Fackelentladung mittels einer zeitlich zerlegten Photographie ergänzt.
