The λ-point in helium-4 and nonholonomic clusters

The λ-point for heat capacity in liquid helium is studied in greater detail than in the previous papers of the author. We use the concept of the corresponding Van der Waals states and the new “parastatistical distribution.”     

The canonical foliations of a locally conformal Kähler manifold

Summary Let M be a locally conformal Kähler manifold. Then the Kähler form of M satisfies d= for some closed 1 -form , called the Lee form of M. We show that M admits three canonical foliations (four if is parallel) and we prove several properties of them, improving previous results of I. Vaisman. In particular all of these foliations are totally geodesic and Riemannian, and one of them is also almost complex. If this latter foliation is regular on a compact M, then we prove that M is a locally trivial fiber bundle over a compact Kähler manifold M, and the fibers are totally geodesic flat 2-tori. Finally we study geometrical properties, the canonical class and the Godbillon-Vey class of the totally real foliation of a CR-submanifold N cM.Work done during a visit of the second author at Michigan State University; this visit was supported by C.N.R., Italy.     

Some submanifolds of a parakähler manifold

SiaM una sottovarietà totalmente ombelicale di una varietà parakähleriana $\tilde M$ . SeM è anche debolmente antiolomorfa, le curvature bisezionali, ordinarie e normale, diM sono legate da una elegante relazione, da cui discendono interessanti conseguenze. L'ultimo risultato del lavoro si riferisce alle sottovarietà parakäleriane delle varietà a curvatura sezionale costante.     

The range of the tangential Cauchy–Riemann system to a CR embedded manifold

We prove that every compact, pseudoconvex, orientable, CR manifold of , bounds a complex manifold in the C ^∞ sense. In particular, has closed range.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds of maximal rank in symmetric spaces

We gave a complete list of totally geodesic submanifolds of maximal rank in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The compact cases can be obtained by the duality.     

On first order congruences of lines of ℙ4 with a fundamental curve

We discuss projective families of lines of ℙ ⁿ , and in particular congruences of order one. After giving general results, we obtain a complete classification of the case of ℙ⁴ in which there is a fundamental curve. Received: 2 August 2000 / Revised version: 11 July 2001     

On a homoclinic manifold of a coupled long-wave–short-wave system

A Bäcklund transformation is obtained for linearly unstable spatially independent plane-wave solutions of a system of coupled long-wave–short-wave resonance equations. Explicit expressions are constructed for the periodic orbits lying on a homoclinic manifold of a torus of planewaves by evaluating the Bäcklund transformation at double points of an irreducible factor of the Floquet spectral curve of the associated scattering problem.     

The Cauchy problem of a focusing energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we combine variational methods and harmonic analysis to discuss the Cauchy problem of a focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We study the global well-posedness, finite time blowup and asymptotic behavior of this problem. By Hamiltonian property, we establish two types of invariant evolution flows. Then from one flow and the stability of classical energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we find that the solution exists globally and scattering occurs. Finally, we get a precise blowup criterion of this problem for positive energy initial data via the other flow.     

Bifurcation in a multicomponent system of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the system ${-\Delta{u}_{j} + a(x)u_{j} = \mu_{j}u^{3}_{j} + \beta \sum_{k \neq j} u^{2}_{k}u_{j}}$ , u _j > 0, j = 1, . . . , n, on a possibly unbounded domain ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}, N \leq 3}$ , with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The system appears in nonlinear optics and in the analysis of mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates. We consider the self-focussing (attractive self-interaction) case ${\mu_{1}, \ldots, \mu_{n} > 0}$ and take ${\beta \in \mathbb{R}}$ as bifurcation parameter. There exists a branch of positive solutions with uj/uk being constant for all ${j, k \in \{1, \ldots, n\}}$ . The main results are concerned with the bifurcation of solutions from this branch. Using a hidden symmetry we are able to prove global bifurcation even when the linearization has even-dimensional kernel (which is always the case when n > 1 is odd).     

Noether’s theorem of nonholonomic systems in optimal control

In this paper, we extend Noether’s theorem to nonholonomic constraints systems in optimal control. We present a systematic way to calculate conserved quantities along the Pontryagin extremals for optimal control problems with nonholonomic constraints, which are invariant under the parameter groups of infinitesimal transformations that change all (time, state, control) variables. Meanwhile, the Noether equalities corresponding to the conservation laws are given. Then, we obtain a new version of Noether’s theorem to optimal control systems. An example is given to illustrate the application of these results.

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a potential

We consider the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a potential in one space dimension. Under the assumptions that the potential is generic, sufficiently localized, with no bound states, we obtain the long-time asymptotic behavior of small solutions. In particular, we prove that, as time goes to infinity, solutions exhibit nonlinear phase corrections that depend on the scattering matrix associated to the potential. The proof of our result is based on the use of the distorted Fourier transform – the so-called Weyl–Kodaira–Titchmarsh theory – a precise understanding of the “nonlinear spectral measure” associated to the equation, and nonlinear stationary phase arguments and multilinear estimates in this distorted setting.     

The dynamics of a “flexible-rotor/limited-power-excitation-source” system

A “flexible-rotor/limited-power-excitation-source” dynamical system, which is a model of the vibrations of shafts driven by a motor of limited power is considered. The types of rotation characteristics of the motor and resonance characteristics of the shaft in the resonance parameter zone for different values of the viscosity coefficient of the medium are investigated. These characteristics completely describe the dynamics of the system when its parameters vary.     

The extreme solutions for a σ-Hessian equation with a nonlinear operator

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of extreme solutions and their properties for a general -Hessian equation involving a nonlinear operator. By introducing a suitable growth condition and developing a iterative technique, some new results on existence and asymptotic estimates of minimum and maximum solutions are derived. Moreover, we also establish the iterative sequences that converge uniformly to the extreme solutions.
