Spectral Properties of Hamiltonians of Charged Systems in a Homogeneous Magnetic Field: I. General Characteristic of the Spectrum

We study the spectrum of Hamiltonians of charged multiparticle systems in a homogeneous magnetic field with a fixed sum P of the pseudomomentum components and without it. We prove that if P is fixed, then the spectrum of Hamiltonians is independent of the value of P , while the spectrum without fixation of P coincides with the spectrum with fixation and differs from the latter only by some additional infinite degeneration (this is a principal difference between problems with a homogeneous magnetic field and problems without any field in which the absence of any fixation of the total angular momentum results in covering the spectrum of the relative motion by a continuous spectrum). We find the continuous spectrum of the Hamiltonians and characterize the spectrum of Hamiltonians of two-cluster mutually noninteracting systems obtained by decomposing the original system in the state with a fixed value of P . The last result is necessary for the study of the purely point spectrum.     

The Hamiltonians of Pseudorelativistic Atoms with Finite-Mass Nuclei: The Structure of the Discrete Spectrum

We study the structure of the discrete spectrum of pseudorelativistic Hamiltonians H for atoms and positive ions with finite-mass nuclei and with n electrons, where n 1 is arbitrary. The center-of-mass motion cannot be separated, and hence we study the spectrum of the restriction H _P of H to the subspace of states with given value P of the total momentum of the system. For the operators H _P we discover a) two-sided estimates for the counting function of the discrete spectrum _d (H _P ) of H _P in terms of the counting functions of some effective two-particle operators; b) the leading term of the spectral asymptotics of _d (H _P ) near the lower bound inf _ess(H _P ) of the essential spectrum of H _P . The structure of the discrete spectrum of such systems was known earlier only for n=1.     

The Spectrum and Eigenfunctions of the Two-Dimensional Schrödinger Operator with a Magnetic Field

Interaction of Two Charges in a Uniform Magnetic Field: II. Spatial Problem

The interaction of two charges moving in ℝ³ in a magnetic field B can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system with six degrees of freedom. Assuming that the magnetic field is uniform and the interaction potential has rotation symmetry, we reduce this system to one with three degrees of freedom. For special values of the conserved quantities, choices of parameters or restriction to the coplanar case, we obtain systems with two degrees of freedom. Specialising to the case of Coulomb interaction, these reductions enable us to obtain many qualitative features of the dynamics. For charges of the same sign, the gyrohelices either “bounce-back”, “pass-through”, or exceptionally converge to coplanar solutions. For charges of opposite signs, we decompose the state space into “free” and “trapped” parts with transitions only when the particles are coplanar. A scattering map is defined for those trajectories that come from and go to infinite separation along the field direction. It determines the asymptotic parallel velocities, guiding centre field lines, magnetic moments and gyrophases for large positive time from those for large negative time. In regimes where gyrophase averaging is appropriate, the scattering map has a simple form, conserving the magnetic moments and parallel kinetic energies (in a frame moving along the field with the centre of mass) and rotating or translating the guiding centre field lines. When the gyrofrequencies are in low-order resonance, however, gyrophase averaging is not justified and transfer of perpendicular kinetic energy is shown to occur. In the extreme case of equal gyrofrequencies, an additional integral helps us to analyse further and prove that there is typically also transfer between perpendicular and parallel kinetic energy.

Uniform Convergence of Spectral Expansions in the Terms of Root Functions of a Spectral Problem for the Equation of a Vibrating Beam

In this paper we consider a spectral problem which describes bending vibrations of a homogeneous rod, in cross-sections of which the longitudinal force acts, the left end of which is fixed rigidly and on the right end is concentrated an elastically fixed load. We study the uniform convergence of spectral expansions in terms of root functions of this problem.     

The n-Wave Procedure and Dimensional Regularization for the Scalar Field in a Homogeneous Isotropic Space

We obtain expressions for the vacuum expectations of the energy–momentum tensor of the scalar field with an arbitrary coupling to the curvature in an N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space for the vacuum determined by diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. We generalize the n-wave procedure to N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space–time. Using the dimensional regularization, we investigate the geometric structure of the terms subtracted from the vacuum energy–momentum tensor in accordance with the n-wave procedure. We show that the geometric structures of the first three subtractions in the n-wave procedure and in the effective action method coincide. We show that all the subtractions in the n-wave procedure in a four- and five-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space correspond to a renormalization of the coupling constants of the bare gravitational Lagrangian.     

The Gravitational Field of an Electrically Charged Mass Point and the Causality Principle in the RTG

We find the effective Riemannian space–time corresponding to the gravitational field generated by a charged mass point in the framework of the relativistic theory of gravity. The causality principle plays an important role in solving this problem. The analytic form and the domain of definition, i.e., the gravitational radius, of the obtained solution differ from the corresponding results in Einstein's general relativity theory.

The Asymptotic Form of the Lower Landau Bands in a Strong Magnetic Field

The asymptotic form of the bottom part of the spectrum of the two-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operator with a periodic potential in a strong magnetic field is studied in the semiclassical approximation. Averaging methods permit reducing the corresponding classical problem to a one-dimensional problem on the torus; we thus show the almost integrability of the original problem. Using elementary corollaries from the topological theory of Hamiltonian systems, we classify the almost invariant manifolds of the classical Hamiltonian. The manifolds corresponding to the bottom part of the spectrum are closed or nonclosed curves and points. Their geometric and topological characteristics determine the asymptotic form of parts of the spectrum (spectral series). We construct this asymptotic form using the methods of the semiclassical approximation with complex phases. We discuss the relation of the asymptotic form obtained to the magneto-Bloch conditions and asymptotics of the band spectrum.     

On Counting the Number of Eigenvalues in the Right Half-Plane for Spectral Problems Connected with Hyperbolic Systems. II. Differential Equations

This article is an immediate continuation of [1]. Solution of the Lyapunov equation leads to a boundary value problem for the first-order hyperbolic equations in two variables with data on the boundary of the unit square. In general, the problems of this kind are not normally solvable. We prove that the boundary value problems in question possess the Fredholm property under some conditions.     

Kinetic Theory of Quantum Electrodynamic Plasma in a Strong Electromagnetic Field: II. The Covariant Mean-Field Approximation

A covariant kinetic equation for the matrix Wigner function is derived in the mean-field approximation from a general kinetic equation for the fermionic subsystem of a quantum electrodynamic plasma. We show that in the semiclassical limit, the equations for the components of the Wigner function can be transformed into closed kinetic equations for the Lorentz-invariant distribution functions of particles and antiparticles.     

The Essential Spectrum of a System of Singular Ordinary Differential Operators of Mixed Order. Part II: The Generalization of Kako's Problem

A system of ordinary differential equations of mixed order on an interval (0, r₀) is considered, where some coefficients are singular at 0. Special cases have been dealt with by Kako , where the essential spectrum of an operator associated with a linearized MHD model was calculated, and more recently by Hardt , Mennicken and Naboko . In both papers this operator is a selfadjoint extension of an operator on sufficiently smooth functions. The approach in the present paper is different in that a suitable operator associated with the given system of ordinary differential equations is explicitly defined as the closure of an operator defined on sufficiently smooth functions. This closed operator can be written as a sum of a selfadjoint operator and a bounded operator. It is shown that its essential spectrum is a nonempty compact subset of ℂ, and formulas for the calculation of the essential spectrum in terms of the coefficients are given.     

Kinetic Theory of Quantum Electrodynamic Plasma in a Strong Electromagnetic Field: I. The Covariant Formalism

We present a covariant approach to the kinetic theory of quantum electrodynamic plasma in a strong electromagnetic field. The method is based on the relativistic von Neumann equation for the nonequilibrium statistical operator defined on spacelike hyperplanes in Minkowski space. We use the canonical quantization of the system on hyperplanes and a covariant generalization of the Coulomb gauge. The condensate mode associated with the mean electromagnetic field is separated from the photon degrees of freedom by a time-dependent unitary transformation of the dynamic variables and the nonequilibrium statistical operator. This allows using expansions of correlation functions and of the statistical operator in powers of the fine structure constant even in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. We present a general scheme for deriving kinetic equations in the hyperplane formalism.     

On a family of sequences defined recursively in (II)

This paper is a second part to previous work (see Finite Fields Appl. 9 (2003) 211). Different conjectures stated there are proven here. We are concerned with sequences (x_i)_i1 in such that the continued fraction expansion [x₁T,x₂T,…,x_nT,…] in is algebraic over . These algebraic elements correspond in some way to quadratic real numbers for which the continued fraction expansion is well known.     

The Social Embeddedness of Academic Online Groups in Offline Networks as a Norm Generating Structure: An Empirical Test of the Coleman Model on Norm Emergence

This paper analyzes two questions. First, under which conditions does a norm emerge in academic online groups that prescribes members to help others during group discussions? Second, what effects does such a norm, and other social conditions, have on the contributing behavior of researchers during online discussions? It is argued that the Coleman model (1990) on the emergence of norms points to an important condition that facilitates the realization of such a norm. According to the Coleman model (1990) a dense network among members of a group tends to strengthen a group norm. The paper makes a distinction between different kinds of academic online groups. The criterion of the distinction is the extent to which within the membership a highly integrated research community exists. An online group with a highly integrated research community is called to have a high degree of social embeddedness of its online communication in offline networks. It is hypothesized that a high degree of embeddedness has a number of effects. A higher degree of embeddedness leads to a stronger help-prescribing norm. The stronger the norm the more researchers send online answers to questions of their co-members during public online discussions. Furthermore, a high degree of embeddedness increases the answering behavior of researchers directly because it provides opportunities to gain reputation within the academic community through contributing to the discussion. The study makes use of data that consist of a combination of survey data and observed data of the communication behavior of researchers in about 50 international academic emailing lists. The results provide evidence for the expected effect of embeddedness on the strength of the norm and for the effect of embeddedness on the answering behavior of researchers. The strength of the help-prescribing norm indirectly influences the answering behavior.
