Generating fields from data onH − ⋃H +andH − ⋃I +

There are series solutions for characteristic boundary value problems for fields on black hole backgrounds that converge when the data are given on =^{– +}, or on =^{– +}, but may not converge when the data are given on ^{– –}, or on ^{+ +}. We specialize to oscillatory data of frequency and calculate approximate reflection and transmission coefficientsR() andT(), using a field generated by data on =^{– +}, and again, using a field generated by data on ^{– –}. The first calculation gives qualitatively good results at all frequencies at each order of approximation, and quantitatively better results at higher orders of approximation; the second calculation, using the series which may not converge, gives bad results except at very high frequencies. Thus for the physically unnatural case of a field that vanishes on ^– and goes toe ^iv on ⁺ we have a series that is convergent, and uniformly so with respect to frequency, while for the natural case of a field that vanishes on ^– and goes toe ^iv on ^– we are limited to high frequencies. It is argued that a frequency-dependent renormalization of a series of the first type provides an approximation scheme that is convergent, and uniformly so with respect to frequency, for the physically important problems of the second type. The difficulties posed by the -dependent renormalization for the study of incident pulses are discussed.     

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.

The vapour jets of electrode material of a short-time high-intensity electric discharge

The velocity of vapours from electrodes and the values of the electric gradient of the channel were measured. An explanation is given of the dependence of the discharge rate of the vapours on the electrode material and the thermal origin of the jets is confirmed. The validity of the results is shown for the case of a different experimental arrangement, or the formation of other types of discharges on electrodes.

     

Analytic study of power spectra of the tent maps near band-splitting transitions

Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map x_i+1=g(x_i),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=x, (0 x 1/2) –x +, (1/2 <x 1) as the parameter is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2ⁿ) bands to 2Nbands is given by=(2)^1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation function _i=x_ix₀/(x₀)²,x_i x_i–x_i is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition point=2, _i–[(10–42)/17] _i,0-[(102-8)/51]_i,1 + [(7 + 42)/17](–1)ⁱe^–yi, where2(–2) is the damping constant and vanishes at=2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly at=2. The asymptotic expression for _i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form of _i for a sequence of which accumulates to 2 from the above. Near the transition point=(2)^1/N, the damping constant of _i fori N is given by _N=2(^N-2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.

QCD sum rule analysis of the coupling constant g ωσγ

We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the coupling constant g by studying the three point -correlation function. Our result complements the analysis of this coupling constant utilizing the experimental value of the ⁰⁰ decay rate studied within the framework of chiral perturbation theory including vector meson and meson intermediate states.     

Correlation inequalities for two-component hypercubicϕ 4 models

A collection of new and already known correlation inequalities is found for a family of two-component hypercubic ⁴ models, using techniques of duplicated variables, rotated correlation inequalities, and random walk representation. Among the interesting new inequalities are: rotated very special Dunlop-Newman inequality _1,x ² ; _1,z ² + _2g ² 0, rotated Griffiths I inequality _{1,x 1,y} ; _1z ² 0, and anti-Lebowitz inequalityu ₄ ¹¹¹¹ >-0.     

The number of bound states of singular oscillating potentials

For a spherically symmetric potential such that rVL ¹(a, ), a>0, and is such that, if we define W=– _r V(t) d(t), W belongs to L ¹ (0, ) and rW0 as r0, we show that the number of bound states in any partial-wave satisfies the bound n2 ₀ r W ² dr. It was shown in a previous paper [1] that this class of potentials is regular from the point of view of abstract scattering theory as well as from the time-independent theory and the Jost function approach. We show also that, for large values of the coupling constant, n(gV) has the asymptotic behaviour C _±g ₀ W(r) dr as g±.     

D-Dimensional ideal gas in parastatistics: Thermodynamic properties

We consider a parastatistics ideal gas with energy spectrum ¦k¦ (>0) or even more generally in ad-dimensional box with volumeV (periodic boundary conditions), the numberN of the gas particles being well determined (real particles) or not (quasiparticles). We calculate the main thermodynamic quantities (chemical potential, internal energy, specific heatC, equation of state, latent heat, average numbers of particles) for arbitraryd, ,T (temperature), andp (maximal number of particles per state allowed in the parastatistics). The main asymptotic regimes are worked out explicitly. In particular, the Bose-Einstein condensation for fixed densityN/V appears as a nonuniform convergence in thep limit, in complete analogy with the standard critical phenomena that appear in interacting systems in theN limit. The system behaves essentially like a Fermi-Dirac one forall finite values ofp, and reveals a Bose-Einstein behavioronly in thep limit. For instance, at low temperaturesC T ifp< andC T ^d/ ifp. Finally, the Sommerfeld integral and its expansion are generalized to an arbitrary, finitep.     

Four-wave mixing in CO via the C 1Σ+ (υ′=0) state

Coherent vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation was generated by four-wave difference frequency mixing (_VUV=2₁–₂) of pulsed dye laser radiation in carbon monoxide (CO). The frequency ₁ was tuned to the C ¹⁺(=0)X ¹⁺(=0) two-photon transition, while the dye laser frequency ₂ was scaned around 17650 cm^–1 which corresponds to the A ¹(=7)«C ¹⁺(=0) transition energy. The VUV intensity was found to be strongly wavelength dependent. The analysis of the spectrum revealed (i) that the VUV intensity was enhanced by the rotational levels of the A ¹(=7) state and (ii) that the off-resonance excitation in the C ¹⁺(=0)X ¹⁺(=0) two-photon transition greatly contributed to the present four-wave mixing process. The effects of pumping laser detuning, saturation and foreign gases are briefly discussed.

High-frequency expansion of relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor

A high-frequency sum-rule expansion is derived for the transverse elements of the relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor in an isotropic system. The relativistic results are different from the nonrelativistic ones by a factor of ^–1(1 – ²/3c ²) for ₂ (k) and longitudinal plasmon and transverse photon frequencies, and by ^–2(1–2 ²/3c ²) for ₂ (k).     

Collisionless kinetic equations for massive particles with spins 1/2 and 0 in gravitational and electromagnetic fields

We define a covariant and gauge-invariant generalization of the Wigner functions of particles with spins 1/2 and 0. The collisionless kinetic equations are obtained for these particles in external gravitational and electromagnetic fields in the quasiclassical approximation; also obtained are the momentum representations of the energy-momentum tensor, current, and spin tensor, taking into account the effects of the spin's interaction with the gravitational field an electromagnetic field. The following notation is used: e and m are the charge and mass of the particles; is Planck's constant; (x) are the covariant-fixed Dirac matrices; ^,=(1/4)[, ]: a(^b)=(1/2) (a b +ab ); [A, B]=A·B – B·A; A,B=A·B+B·A; g(x)=det(g (x));R = –...; the speed of light c=1.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 47–53, September, 1990.The author wishes the thank Yu.

p-adic Heisenberg group and Maslov index

A system of coordinates on a set of selfdual lattices in a two-dimensionalp-adic symplectic space (V,) is suggested. A unitary irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group of the space (V,) depending on a lattice (an analogue of the Cartier representation) is constructed and its properties are investigated. By the use of such representations for three different lattices one defines the Maslov index =(₁,₂,₃) of a triple of lattices. Properties of the index are investigated and values of in coordinates for different triples of lattices are calculated.

Characteristics analysis of metal-clad and absorptive dielectric waveguides by a simple and accurate perturbation method

We present a simple and accurate method for characteristic analysis of metal-clad dielectric waveguides and absorptive waveguides. The real partN of the complex modal indexN=N + iN is obtained by solving the corresponding real eigenvalue equation, and the imaginary partN is given by (n/), where= + i is the complex dielectric constant of the absorptive layer, and N/ is obtained by numerical differentiation. The method is straightforward, and the cumbersome solution of complex transcendental equations is completely eliminated. Results for simple structures are in good agreement with those obtained by exact analysis.     

Resistivity exponent of two-dimensional lattice animals

We calculate the average resistanceR(L) of lattice animals spanningL×L cells on the square lattice using exact and Monte Carlo methods. The dynamical resistivity exponent, defined asR(L) L , is found to be =1.36±0.07. This contradicts the Alexander-Orbach conjecture, which predicts 0.8. Our value for differs from earlier measurements of this quantity by other methods yielding =1.17±0.05 and 1.22±0.08 by Havlin et al.On leave from the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.
