Nelson's symmetry and the infinite volume behavior of the vacuum inP(φ)2

LetH _l be the Hamiltonian in aP()₂ theory with sharp space cutoff in the interval (–l/2,l/2). LetE _l =inf(H _l ), (l)=–E _l /l, and let _l be the vacuum forH _l . discuss properties of (l) and _l . 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. We also present a new proof of recent estimates of Glimm and Jaffe on local perturbations ofH _l in the infinite volume limit.Research sponsored by AFOSR under Contract No. F44620-71-C-0108.On leave from Istituto di Fisica Teorica, Universitá di Napoli and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Napoli.A.

Symmetry properties of nonlinear barrier coefficients

This paper concerns the properties of a symmetric barrier between two reservoirs. The barrier can passK conserved quantities. The current of theith quantity is assumed to satisfy the nonlinear relationJ _i=A _ijj+B_ijkljkl where the _i's are the affinity differences across the barrier andA _ij andB _ijkl are functions of the average affinities of the reserviors. It is shown thatB _ijkl is symmetric in all indices.     

Method of moments in analysis of x-ray diffraction lines

A general relation between the moments of the functionsf,g, andh, in the integral equationh(x)=f(y)g(x–y) dy, is derived. This enables any moment of the unknown functionf to be calculated from the moments of the functionsg andh. In particular, if certain assumptions are fulfilled, the moments of the components of the doublet can be calculated with advantage from the moments of the total profile. The statistical significance of the moment characteristics is also emphasized.

Antiferromagnetic Potts Models on the Square Lattice: A High-Precision Monte Carlo Study

We study the antiferromagnetic q-state Potts model on the square lattice for q=3 and q=4, using the Wang–Swendsen–Kotecký (WSK) Monte Carlo algorithm and a powerful finite-size-scaling extrapolation method. For q=3 we obtain good control up to correlation length 5000; the data are consistent with ()=Ae ^{2 p} (1+a ₁ e ^– + ...) as , with p1. The staggered susceptibility behaves as _stagg ^5/3. For q=4 the model is disordered (2) even at zero temperature. In appendices we prove a correlation inequality for Potts antiferromagnets on a bipartite lattice, and we prove ergodicity of the WSK algorithm at zero temperature for Potts antiferromagnets on a bipartite lattice.     

The inelastic reactions πp→λ(⌆) K with allowance for the contribution of branch cuts

The method of complex angular moments is used to analyze the experimental data on the inelastic reactions p ()K, taking into account branch cuts in the j-plane in the eikonal approximation. An optical model for the backward scattering is considered. Agreement with experiment is obtained in the region of small angles for the reactions (⁰)K⁰. In the case of ^–P K⁰(^–K⁺) processes, agreement is obtained with the experimental results for large (180) scattering angles.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 8, pp. 26–30, August, 1972.

Error performance analysis for an optical heterodyne FSK communication system with a limiter-discriminator-integrator detector

The error probability for a coherent optical heterodyne FSK system with a limiter-discriminator-integrator (LDI) detector is analysed. The analysis includes laser quantum phase noise, the correlated receiver additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), Gaussian narrow-band IF filtering and intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by it. It is shown that, for 1 dBEb/N ₀penalty at bit error rate (BER) 10^–9, (i) the normalized IF beat spectral linewidth T0.35% for frequency deviation ratioh=0.5(MSK), and T0.5% forh=0.7 (the receiver is insensitive to laser quantum phase noise ath=1.0, if ISI is not included.); (ii) if ISI is incorporated, T0.15% forh=0.5, T0.5% forh=0.7, both with 3dB bandwidth-bit period product (3.0>BT1.5), and T0.5% forh=1.0 with BT1.0 ifT0.35% when ISI exists,h=0.7 is optimum;h=1.0 otherwise.

Measurement of the refractive index and optical absorption spectra of epitaxial bismuth substituted yttrium iron garnet films at uv to near-ir wavelengths

Refractive-index and optical-absorption spectra of Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet films, epitaxially grown by liquid-phase epitaxy, have been measured in the spectral regime 0.26 m1.9 m by thin-film interference for 0.52 m and by ellipsometry for0.52 m. The Y_3–x–y Bi _x Pb _y Fe_5–z Pt _z O₁₂ films contain bismuth in the range Ox 1.42, lead in the range 0.01 y0.08 and platinum in the range 0.005<=z0.03. There is satisfactory coincidence between the results from ellipsometry and thin-film interference in the overlapping wavelength region. The materials investigated are the same as reported earlier from this laboratory in ter mof their magnetic and magnetooptic properties.     

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.

Problems in the interpretation of cosmic ray nuclear interactions

Difficulties in the interpretation of high-energy nuclear interactions are discussed and explanations suggested on the basis of successive or composite nucleon-nucleus collisions, the first predominant below a few 10 ¹¹ eV,the second for higher energies. In the energy region up to about 10 ¹¹ eVsome discrepancies in the frequency of production of strange particles, the small interaction cross-section of iron etc. are explained, taking into account secondary intranuclear collisions. The tunnel model of Heitler and McCusker is replaced by assuming a cone-shaped interaction volume (funnel) even at the highest primary energies. A number of consequences concerning the energies of the primary particles, the multiplicity and asymmetry in the angular distribution of secondaries, coefficient of inelasticity etc. are discussed.

Directed paths on percolation clusters

We consider a variant of the problem of directed polymers on a disordered lattice, in which the disorder is geometrical in nature. In particular, we allow a finite probability for each bond to be absent from the lattice. We show, through the use of numerical and scaling arguments on both Euclidean and hierarchical lattices, that the model has two distinct scaling behaviors, depending upon whether the concentration of bonds on the lattice is at or above the directed percolation threshold. We are particularly interested in the exponents and, defined by ft and xt , describing the free-energy and transverse fluctuations, respectively. Above the percolation threshold, the scaling behavior is governed by the standard random energy exponents (=1/3 and =2/3 in 1+1 dimensions). At the percolation threshold, we predict (and verify numerically in 1+1 dimensions) the exponents=1/2 and =v/v, where v and v are the directed percolation exponents. In addition, we predict the absence of a free phase in any dimension at the percolation threshold.     

Bounded perturbations of dynamics

If and are one-parameter automorphism groups of a von Neumann algebraM is said to be a bounded perturbation of if _t – _t 0 ast0. We give a complete characterization of the bounded perturbations of . In particular, we show that if can be implemented by a strongly continuous one-parameter group with self-adjoint generator (Hamiltonian)H, then can be implemented in the same way and the corresponding HamiltonianH can be chosen to be of the formH=VHV ^–1+h, whereV is a unitary ofM andh=h*M.On leave of absence from II.

Gentle perturbations

By introducing a specific type of perturbation,A, in the Hamiltonian, we define a class of gently perturbed states, ,A, of a canonical ensemble, . The perturbations are chosen so as to preserve a relationship of the form ,A constant ×. Applications in ergodic theory and phase transitions are described.     

Continuity of type-I intermittency from a measure-theoretical point of view

We study a simple dynamical system which displays a so-called type-I intermittency bifurcation. We determine the Bowen-Ruelle measure and prove that the expectation (g) of any continuous functiong and the Kolmogoroff-Sinai entropyh() are continuous functions of the bifurcation parameter. Therefore the transition is continuous from a measure-theoretical point of view. Those results could be generalized to any similar dynamical system.
