Entropy Production and Information Gain¶in Axiom-A Systems

Anosov systems are mathematical models for chaotic systems in statistical mechanics and fluid dynamics. Most of these systems enjoy the property of positive entropy production. We introduce the concept of specific information gain (or specific relative entropy) h(μ₊,μ₋) in Anosov systems and prove that it is identical to the entropy production rate e _p (μ₊) defined by Ruelle and Gallavotti in Anosov systems. From this point of view, the entropy production rate e _p (μ₊ characterizes the degree of macroscopic irreversibility of the system. Received: 2 August 1999 / Accepted: 14 April 2000     

Large Deviations and¶Variational Principle for Harmonic Crystals

We consider massless Gaussian fields with covariance related to the Green function of a long range random walk on Ê^d. These are viewed as Gibbs measures for a linear-quadratic interaction. We establish thermodynamic identities and prove a version of Gibbs' variational principle, showing that translation invariant Gibbs measures are characterized as minimizers of the relative entropy density. We then study the large deviations of the empirical field of a Gibbs measure. We show that a weak large deviation principle holds at the volume order, with rate given by the relative entropy density.     

On Lieb's Conjecture for the Wehrl Entropy¶of Bloch Coherent States

Lieb@s conjecture for the Wehrl entropy of Bloch coherent states is proved for spin 1 and spin 3/2. Using a geometric representation we solve the entropy integrals for states of arbitrary spin and evaluate them explicitly in the cases of spin 1, 3/2, and 2. We also give a group theoretic proof for all spin of a related inequality. Received: 2 March 1999 / Accepted: 7 May 1999     

Generalized Uncertainty Principle and the Quantum Entropy of Rotating Black Hole

The entropy of rotating Kerr-Newman-Kasuya black hole due to massive charged fields （bosons and fermions） is calculated by using the new equation of state density motivated by the generalized uncertainty relation. The result shows the entropy does not depend on the mass and the charge but the parameter A, the area A and the spin of the fields. Moreover, an improved approximation is provided to calculate the scalar entropy.     

Difference Discrete Variational Principles,Euler—Lagrange Cohomology and Symplectic,Multisymplectic Structures I：Difference Discrete Variational Principle

In this first paper of a series,we study the difference discrete variational principle in the framework of multi-parameter differential approach by regarding the forward difference as an entire geometric object in view of noncommutative differential geometry.Regarding the difference as an entire geometric object,the difference discrete version of Legendre transformation can be introduced.By virtue of this variational principle,we can discretely deal with the variation problems in both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonican formalisms to get difference discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and canonical ones for the difference discrete versions of the classical mechanics and classical field theory.     

Measurement of ‘closeness’ and Distinguishability of the Quantum States in Yang-Baxter Systems

Under the actions of different Hamiltonians on the different two-qubit input states by using the quantum Yang-Baxterization approach, we investigate the behaviors of the fidelity and the trace distance as measures of ‘closeness’ and distinguishability of two quantum states. The results show that the fidelity that is the main figure of merit for any communication and computing process can be kept to high values depending on the choice of the initial states and the Hamiltonians constructed by the Yang-Baxter equation. On the other hand, by choosing the initial states and Yang-Baxter systems which are the various extensions of the Yang-Baxter equations for several matrices, these quantifiers can be adjusted as desired to achieve many quantum computing and computational tasks. Furthermore, to quantify the performance of quantum teleportation we examine the teleportation fidelity for the outputs that correspond to the different two-qubit X-type states under the actions of the different Hamiltonians. It is possible to obtain high fidelity to use the quantum teleportation process.

Information and Entropy Flow in the Kalman–Bucy Filter

We investigate the information theoretic properties of Kalman–Bucy filters in continuous time, developing notions of information supply, storage and dissipation. Introducing a concept of energy, we develop a physical analogy in which the unobserved signal describes a statistical mechanical system interacting with a heat bath. The abstract universe comprising the signal and the heat bath obeys a non-increase law of entropy; however, with the introduction of partial observations, this law can be violated. The Kalman–Bucy filter behaves like a Maxwellian demon in this analogy, returning signal energy to the heat bath without causing entropy increase. This is made possible by the steady supply of new information. In a second analogy the signal and filter interact, setting up a stationary non-equilibrium state, in which energy flows between the heat bath, the signal and the filter without causing any overall entropy increase. We introduce a rate of interactive entropy flow that isolates the statistical mechanics of this flow from marginal effects. Both analogies provide quantitative examples of Landauers Principle.     

Noncommutative Manifolds, the Instanton Algebra¶and Isospectral Deformations

We give new examples of noncommutative manifolds that are less standard than the NC-torus or Moyal deformations of ℝ ⁿ . They arise naturally from basic considerations of noncommutative differential topology and have non-trivial global features. The new examples include the instanton algebra and the NC-4-spheres S ⁴ _θ. We construct the noncommutative algebras ?=C ^∞ (S ⁴ _θ) of functions on NC-spheres as solutions to the vanishing, ch _j (e) = 0, j < 2, of the Chern character in the cyclic homology of ? of an idempotent e∈M ₄ (?), e ²=e, e=e ^*. We describe the universal noncommutative space obtained from this equation as a noncommutative Grassmannian as well as the corresponding notion of admissible morphisms. This space Gr contains the suspension of a NC-3-sphere S ³ _θ distinct from quantum group deformations SU _q (2) of SU (2). We then construct the noncommutative geometry of S _θ ⁴ as given by a spectral triple ?, ℋ, D) and check all axioms of noncommutative manifolds. In a previous paper it was shown that for any Riemannian metric g _μν on S ⁴ whose volume form is the same as the one for the round metric, the corresponding Dirac operator gives a solution to the following quartic equation,

Long Time Behavior of the Continuum Limit¶of the Toda Lattice, and the Generation¶of Infinitely Many Gaps from C∞ Initial Data

We analyze a continuum limit of the finite non-periodic Toda lattice through an associated constrained maximization problem over spectral density functions. The maximization problem was derived by Deift and McLaughlin using the Lax–Levermore approach, initially developed for the zero dispersion limit of the KdV equation. It encodes the evolution of the continuum limit for all times, including evolution through shocks. The formation of gaps in the support of the maximizer is indicative of oscillations in the Toda lattice and the lack of strong convergence of the continuum limit. For large times, the maximizer tends to have zero gaps, which is the continuum analogue of the sorting property of the finite lattice. Using methods from logarithmic potential theory, we show that this behavior depends crucially on the initial data. We exhibit initial data for which the zero gap ansatz holds uniformly in the spatial parameter (at large times), and other initial data for which this uniformity fails at all times. We then construct an example of C ^∞ smooth initial data generating, at a later time, infinitely many gaps in the support of the maximizer, while for even larger times, all gaps have closed.

Rational Surfaces Associated with Affine Root Systems¶and Geometry of the Painlevé Equations

We present a geometric approach to the theory of Painlevé equations based on rational surfaces. Our starting point is a compact smooth rational surface X which has a unique anti-canonical divisor D of canonical type. We classify all such surfaces X. To each X, there corresponds a root subsystem of E ⁽¹⁾ ₈ inside the Picard lattice of X. We realize the action of the corresponding affine Weyl group as the Cremona action on a family of these surfaces. We show that the translation part of the affine Weyl group gives rise to discrete Painlevé equations, and that the above action constitutes their group of symmetries by B?cklund transformations. The six Painlevé differential equations appear as degenerate cases of this construction. In the latter context, X is Okamoto's space of initial conditions and D is the pole divisor of the symplectic form defining the Hamiltonian structure.

The Lp-Theory of the Spectral Shift Function,¶the Wegner Estimate, and the Integrated Density¶of States for Some Random Operators

We develop the L ^p -theory of the spectral shift function, for p≥ 1, applicable to pairs of self-adjoint operators whose difference is in the trace ideal ℐ _p , for $0 < p≤ 1. This result is a key ingredient of a new, short proof of the Wegner estimate applicable to a wide variety of additive and multiplicative random perturbations of deterministic background operators. The proof yields the correct volume dependence of the upper bound. This implies the local H?lder continuity of the integrated density of states at energies in the unperturbed spectral gap. Under an additional condition of the single-site potential, local H?lder continuity is proved at all energies. This new Wegner estimate, together with other, standard results, establishes exponential localization for a new family of models for additive and multiplicative perturbations.

Comparison Between the Full Quantum Dynamics and the Quantum—Semiclassical Models to Many—Particle Systems

We consider a simple collinear collision of a “classical“ particle with a harmonic oscillator within quantumsemiclassical model and full quantum dynamics model,in which the latter is solved analytically in squeezed state and exact diagonalization methods and acts as the exact solution of such a system.A comparison of these two models for different mass ratios between the “classical“ particle and the quantum particle is done,which gives a criterion when using the quantum-semiclassical model.     

Squeezing in the Real and Imaginary Spin Coherent States

We study spin squeezing properties in the real and imaginary spin coherent states. We obtain analytical expressions of two spin squeezing parameters via a novel ladder operator formalism of the spin coherent state and the generation function method. Numerical results of the spin squeezing properties are discussed in detail, and the rea/and imaginary spin coherent state can be spin squeezed over a large range of parameters.     

Gauge Theoretical Equivariant Gromov–Witten Invariants and the Full Seiberg–Witten Invariants¶of Ruled Surfaces

Let F be a differentiable manifold endowed with an almost K?hler structure (J,ω), α a J-holomorphic action of a compact Lie group on F, and K a closed normal subgroup of which leaves ω invariant. The purpose of this article is to introduce gauge theoretical invariants for such triples (F,α,K). The invariants are associated with moduli spaces of solutions of a certain vortex type equation on a Riemann surface Σ. Our main results concern the special case of the triple

Difference Discrete Variational Principle,Euler—Lagrange Cohomology and Symplectic,Multisymplectic Structures II：Euler—Lagrange Cohomology

In this second paper of a series of papers,we explore the difference discrete versions for the Euler-Lagrange cohomology and apply them to the symplectic or multisymplectic geometry and their preserving properties in both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms for discrete mechanics and field theory in the framework of multiparameter differential approach.In terms of the difference discrete Euler-Lagrange cohomological concepts,we show that the symplectic or multisymplectic geometry and their difference discrete structure-preserving properties can always be established not only in the solution spaces of the discrete Euler-Lagrange or canonical equations erived by the difference discrete variational principle but also in the function space in each case if and only if the relevant closed Euler-Lagrange cohomological conditions are satisfied.
