On an inverse spectral problem

We study an inverse spectral problem for the Sturm–Liouville problem. Such a problem arises in the study of micro- and nano-rods.     

On the thermodynamics of multispecies anyons

We address the problem of multispecies anyons, i.e. particles of different species whose wave functions are subject to anyonlike conditions. The cluster and virial coefficients are considered. Special attention is paid to the case of anyons in the lowest Landau level of a strong magnetic field, when it is possible (i) to prove microscopically the equation of state, in particular in terms of Aharonov-Bohm charge-flux composite systems, and (ii) to formulate the problem in terms of single-state statistical distributions.     

On the outflow conditions for spectral solution of the viscous blunt-body problem

The purpose of this paper is to study and identify suitable outflow boundary conditions for the numerical simulation of viscous supersonic/hypersonic flow over blunt bodies, governed by the compressible Navier–Stokes equations, with an emphasis motivated primarily by the use of spectral methods without any filtering. The subsonic/supersonic composition of the outflow boundary requires a dual boundary treatment for well-posedness. All compatibility relations, modified to undertake the hyperbolic/parabolic behaviour of the governing equations, are used for the supersonic part of the outflow. Regarding the unknown downstream information in the subsonic region, different subsonic outflow conditions in the sense of the viscous blunt-body problem are examined. A verification procedure is conducted to make out the distinctive effect of each outflow condition on the solution. Detailed comparisons are performed to examine the accuracy and performance of the outflow conditions considered for two model geometries of different surface curvature variations. Numerical simulations indicate a noticeable influence of pressure from subsonic portion to supersonic portion of the boundary layer. It is demonstrated that two approaches for imposing subsonic outflow conditions namely (1) extrapolating all flow variables and (2) extrapolation of pressure along with using proper compatibility relations are more suitable than the others for accurate numerical simulation of viscous high-speed flows over blunt bodies using spectral collocation methods.

Inverse spectral problem for delta potentials

The scattering problem for the linear Schrödinger equation on the entire axis has been considered. Conditions under which the knowledge of the discrete spectrum of the Schrödinger operator is sufficient for the reconstruction of the potential have been determined. The main difference from the soliton sector is the self-similarity of the problem under consideration with respect to the extension of the spectral parameter λ. This makes it possible to reduce the inverse scattering problem to the study of the singularity of the Green’s function at λ = 0.     

Two-parametric fractional statistics models for anyons

In the paper, two-parametric models of fractional statistics are proposed in order to determine the functional form of the distribution function of free anyons. From the expressions of the second and third virial coefficients, an approximate correspondence is shown to hold for three models, namely, the nonadditive Polychronakos statistics and both the incomplete and the nonadditive modifications of the Haldane-Wu statistics. The difference occurs only in the fourth virial coefficient leading to a small correction in the equation of state. For the two generalizations of the Haldane-Wu statistics, the solutions for the statistics parameters g, q exist in the whole domain of the anyonic parameter α ∈ [0; 1], unlike the nonadditive Polychronakos statistics. It is suggested that the search for the expression of the anyonic distribution function should be made within some modifications of the Haldane-Wu statistics.     

Field operators for anyons and plektons

Given its superselection sectors with non-abelian braid group statistics, we extend the algebraA of local observables into an algebra containing localized intertwiner fields which carry the superselection charges. The construction of the inner degrees of freedom, as well as the study of their transformation properties (quantum symmetry), are entirely in terms of the superselection structure of the observables. As a novel and characteristic feature for braid group statistics, Clebsch-Gordan and commutation coefficients generically take values in the algebra of symmetry operators, much as it is the case with quasi-Hopf symmetry.A, , and are allC ^* algebras, i.e. represented by bounded operators on a Hilbert space with positive metric.     

Asymptotic inverse spectral problem for anharmonic oscillators

We study perturbationsL=A+B of the harmonic oscillatorA=1/2(??²+x ²?1) on ?, when potentialB(x) has a prescribed asymptotics at ∞,B(x)～|x|^?α V(x) with a trigonometric even functionV(x)=Σa _mcosω _m x. The eigenvalues ofL are shown to be λ _k =k+μ _k with small μ _k =O(k ^?γ), γ=1/2+1/4. The main result of the paper is an asymptotic formula for spectral fluctuations {μ _k }, $$\mu _k \sim k^{ - \gamma } \tilde V(\sqrt {2k} ) + c/\sqrt {2k} ask \to \infty ,$$ whose leading term \(\tilde V\) represents the so-called “Radon transform” ofV, $$\tilde V(x) = const\sum {\frac{{a_m }}{{\sqrt {\omega _m } }}\cos (\omega _m x - \pi /4)} .$$ as a consequence we are able to solve explicitly the inverse spectral problem, i.e., recover asymptotic part |x ^?α|V(x) ofB from asymptotics of {µ _k }. ₁ ^∞      

On the general structure of nonlinear equations integrable by the general linear spectral problem

Two beams of indistinguishable fermions from independent sources cannot produce an interference pattern that changes when the wavefunction of each single-fermion state for one beam is multiplied by — 1; they cannot produce interference the way photons from independent sources can. This means the changes in neutron interference caused by a magnetic field applied to one of the beams cannot be interpreted as equivalent to changes that could be made by rotating the source of one beam by 2π radians. If it is assumed that rotation by 2π radians cannot be observed, the argument made here becomes a simple proof that particles with half-integral spin cannot be bosons.     

Interferometry of non-Abelian anyons

We develop the general quantum measurement theory of non-Abelian anyons through interference experiments. The paper starts with a terse introduction to the theory of anyon models, focusing on the basic formalism necessary to apply standard quantum measurement theory to such systems. This is then applied to give a detailed analysis of anyonic charge measurements using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for arbitrary anyon models. We find that, as anyonic probes are sent through the legs of the interferometer, superpositions of the total anyonic charge located in the target region collapse when they are distinguishable via monodromy with the probe anyons, which also determines the rate of collapse. We give estimates on the number of probes needed to obtain a desired confidence level for the measurement outcome distinguishing between charges, and explicitly work out a number of examples for some significant anyon models. We apply the same techniques to describe interferometry measurements in a double point-contact interferometer realized in fractional quantum Hall systems. To lowest order in tunneling, these results essentially match those from the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, but we also provide the corrections due to processes involving multiple tunnelings. Finally, we give explicit predictions describing state measurements for experiments in the Abelian hierarchy states, the non-Abelian Moore-Read state at ν=5/2 and Read-Rezayi state at ν=12/5.     

Method of solving the inverse spectral problem

We describe a method of solving the inverse spectral problem which is applicable to free molecules as well as to molecules in a medium. We give a criterion for the uniqueness of the definition of the force matrix. This criterion links the necessary number of normal proper vibrations of a molecule with a number of necessary form parameters. We calculate the force matrix of tetrahedral molecules CH₄, CD₄, and CT₄. When we use zero-point values for frequencies of normal vibrations the relative discrepancy in the corresponding force-matrix elements does not exceed 0.3%.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 52–57, April, 1987.
