The tetrahexahedric Calogero model

We consider the spherical reduction of the rational Calogero model (of type A _n-1, without the center of mass) as a maximally superintegrable quantum system. It describes a particle on the (n = 2)-sphere in a very special potential. A detailed analysis is provided of the simplest non-separable case, n = 4, whose potential blows up at the edges of a spherical tetrahexahedron, tesselating the two-sphere into 24 identical right isosceles spherical triangles in which the particle is trapped. We construct a complete set of independent conserved charges and of Hamiltonian intertwiners and elucidate their algebra. The key structure is the ring of polynomials in Dunkl-deformed angular momenta, in particular the subspaces invariant and antiinvariant under all Weyl reflections, respectively.     

Quantization and conformal properties of a generalized Calogero model

We analyze a generalization of the quantum Calogero model with the underlying conformal symmetry, paying special attention to the two-body model deformation. Owing to the underlying SU(1,1) symmetry, we find that the analytic solutions of this model can be described within the scope of the Bargmann representation analysis, and we investigate its dynamical structure by constructing the corresponding Fock space realization. The analysis from the standpoint of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM), when applied to this problem, reveals that the model is also shape invariant. For a certain range of the system parameters, the two-body generalization of the Calogero model is shown to admit a one-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions, leading to inequivalent quantizations of the system.

Constants of motion of the four-particle Calogero model

We present the explicit expressions of the complete set of constants of motion of four-particle Calogero model with excluded center of mass, i.e. of the A ₃ rational Calogero model. Then we find the constants of motion of its spherical part, defining two-dimensional 12-center spherical oscillator, with the force centers located at the vertexes of cuboctahedron.     

Deformed Heisenberg algebras, a Fock-space representation and the Calogero model

We describe generally deformed Heisenberg algebras in one dimension. The condition for a generalized Leibniz rule is obtained and solved. We analyze conditions under which deformed quantum-mechanical problems have a Fock-space representation. One solution of these conditions leads to a q-deformed oscillator already studied by Lorek et al., and reduces to the harmonic oscillator only in the infinite-momentum frame. The other solution leads to the Calogero model in ordinary quantum mechanics, but reduces to the harmonic oscillator in the absence of deformation.

Density waves in the Calogero model - revisited

The Calogero model bears, in the continuum limit, collective excitations in the form of density waves and solitary modulations of the density of particles. This sector of the spectrum of the model was investigated, mostly within the framework of collective-field theory, by several authors, over the past 15 years or so. In this work we shall concentrate on periodic solutions of the collective BPS-equation (also known as “finite amplitude density waves”), as well as on periodic solutions of the full static variational equations which vanish periodically (also known as “large amplitude density waves”). While these solutions are not new, we feel that our analysis and presentation add to the existing literature, as we explain in the text. In addition, we show that these solutions also occur in a certain two-family generalization of the Calogero model, at special points in parameter space. A compendium of useful identities associated with Hilbert transforms, including our own proofs of these identities, appears in Appendix A. In Appendix B we also elucidate in the present paper some fine points having to do with manipulating Hilbert-transforms, which appear ubiquitously in the collective field formalism. Finally, in order to make this paper self-contained, we briefly summarize in Appendix C basic facts about the collective field formulation of the Calogero model.     

Permutation invariant algebras, a Fock space realization and the Calogero model

We study permutation invariant oscillator algebras and their Fock space representations using three equivalent techniques, i.e. (i) a normally ordered expansion in creation and annihilation operators, (ii) the action of annihilation operators on monomial states in Fock space and (iii) Gram matrices of inner products in Fock space. We separately discuss permutation invariant algebras which possess hermitean number operators and permutation invariant algebras which possess non-hermitean number operators. The results of a general analysis are applied to the -extended Heisenberg algebra, underlying the M-body Calogero model. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of Gram matrices for the Calogero model. We discuss their structure, eigenvalues and eigenstates. We obtain a general condition for positivity of eigenvalues, meaning that all norms of states in Fock space are positive if this condition is satisfied. We find a universal critical point at which the reduction of the physical degrees of freedom occurs. We construct dual operators, leading to the ordinary Heisenberg algebra of free Bose oscillators. From the Fock-space point of view, we briefly discuss the existence of a mapping from the Calogero oscillators to the free Bose oscillators and vice versa.

Non-linear coupling in the dark sector as a running vacuum model

In this work we study a phenomenological non-gravitational interaction between dark matter and dark energy. The scenario studied in this work extends the usual interaction model proportional to the derivative of the dark component density adding to the coupling a non-linear term of the form \(Q = \rho '/3(\alpha + \beta \rho _{Dark})\) This dark sector interaction model could be interpreted as a particular case of a running vacuum model of the type \(\Lambda (H) = n_0 + n_1 H^2 + n_2 H^4\) in which the vacuum decays into dark matter. For a flat FRW Universe filled with dark energy, dark matter and decoupled baryonic matter and radiation we calculate the energy density evolution equations of the dark sector and solve them. The different sign combinations of the two parameters of the model show clear qualitative different cosmological scenarios, from basic cosmological insights we discard some of them. The linear scalar perturbation equations of the dark matter were calculated. Using the CAMB code we calculate the CMB and matter power spectra for some values of the parameters \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) and compare it with \(\Lambda \)CDM. The model modify mainly the lower multipoles of the CMB power spectrum remaining almost the same the high ones. The matter power spectrum for low wave numbers is not modified by the interaction but after the maximum it is clearly different. Using observational data from Planck, and various galaxy surveys we obtain the constraints of the parameters, the best fit values obtained are the combinations \(\alpha = (3.7 \pm 7 )\times 10^{-4} \), \(-\,(1.5\times 10^{-5}\, \mathrm{eV}^{-1})^{4} \ll \beta < (0.07\,\mathrm{eV}^{-1})^4\).     

The spherical hierarchical model

The spherical version of Dyson's hierarchical model is analyzed. A particular case which is designed to simulate the long-range Ising problem is dealt with in detail. A phase transition is found with critical temperature $$\beta _c = \tfrac{1}{2}(2^\alpha - 2)(4 - 2^\alpha )^{ - 1} $$ wheren ^th neighbor spins interact with a strength ofn ^?α. Critical exponents are calculated for this particular case and are found to be identical with the critical exponents of the long-range spherical Ising model.     

Quantum hydrodynamics, the quantum benjamin-ono equation, and the Calogero model

Collective field theory for the Calogero model represents particles with fractional statistics in terms of hydrodynamic modes--density and velocity fields. We show that the quantum hydrodynamics of this model can be written as a single evolution equation on a real holomorphic Bose field--the quantum integrable Benjamin-Ono equation. It renders tools of integrable systems to studies of nonlinear dynamics of 1D quantum liquids.     

The fully finite spherical model

A lattice sum technique is applied to the constraint equation of the finite size mean spherical model. It is shown that this allows the investigation of the model over a wide range of temperatures, for a wide range of system sizes. Correlation lengths and susceptibilities are shown to obey crossover scaling aroundT=0 below the lower critical dimension, and finite size scaling between the lower and upper critical dimensions. Universal scaling forms are suggested for the lower critical dimension. At and above the upper critical dimension, the behavior is identical to that of finite sized mean field theory. The scaling at and above the upper critical dimension is shown to be modified by the existence of a dangerous irrelevant variable which also governs the failure of hyperscaling. Implications for phenomenological renormalization experiments are discussed. Numerical results of scaling are displayed.     

Collective field formulation of the multi-species Calogero model and its duality symmetries

We study the collective field formulation of a restricted form of the multi-species Calogero model, in which the three-body interactions are set to zero. We show that the resulting collective field theory is invariant under certain duality transformations, which interchange, among other things, particles and antiparticles, and thus generalize the well known strong-weak coupling duality symmetry of the ordinary Calogero model. We identify all these dualities, which form an Abelian group, and study their consequences. We also study the ground state and small fluctuations around it in detail, starting with the two-species model, and then generalizing to an arbitrary number of species.     

On the singular sector of the Hermitian random matrix model in the large N limit

The one-cut case of the Hermitian random matrix model in the large N limit is considered. Its singular sector in the space of coupling constants is analyzed from the point of view of the hodograph equations of the underlying dispersionless Toda hierarchy. A deep connection with the singular sector of the hodograph equations of the 1-layer Benney (classical long wave equation) hierarchy is stablished. This property is a consequence of the fact that the hodograph equations for both hierarchies describe the critical points of solutions of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equations.     

An intermediate spherical model of a ferromagnet

A one-parameter family of partition functions is considered which for zero value of the parameter reduces to the spherical model of a ferromagnet. The model for > 0 is closer to the usual discrete lattice spin model of a ferromagnet than is the spherical model. The first four terms in of the limiting value of the partition function are calculated above and below the critical temperature for arbitrary interactions using the saddle point method to calculate certain correlation functions for the spherical model. These calculations indicate that the critical temperature is independent of for small and certain interactions.Part of this research appeared in the author's doctoral thesis.⁽³⁾     

TheV-N sector of the Lee model

TheV-N sector of a modified Lee model is solved by dispersion theory techniques. The method of solution clearly indicates the importance of asymptotic conditions in solving bound-state problems.     

The quark mixing matrix in a composite model

The generalized mixing matrix of quarks is computed based on a composite model of quarks and leptons. Among potentials between constituent particles examined V(r) = Ar^s (As > 0) and A ln r (A > 0), it is shown that potentials with exponent 0 ? s ? 3 or ln r are consistent with current experimental data for the mixing matrix elements.     

The lepton mixing matrix in a composite model

A generalized mixing matrix for leptons is presented based on a composite model of quarks and leptons. The mixing matrix is expressed in terms of one parameter, which is determined either by discussing that it is identical to that of the quark mixing matrix or by assuming that the observed solar neutrino flux results from neutrino oscillations.     

Free energies of the spherical model of a spin glass

Free energies g(m, m_s) and f(m, q) of the spherical spin glass (SG) model due to Kosterlitz et al. are calculated explicitly as functions of the uniform magnetization m, and SG order parameter m_s and the Edwards-Anderson order parameter q. It is shown that g(0, m_s) and f(0, q) below the transition temperature T_g are constant in the ranges 0 ≦ m_s ≦ m_s⁰ and 0 ≦ q ≦ q₀ respectively, where $\text{q}{}_0\text{= (1 -?}\text{T}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{g}}\text{) = m}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s}}{}^0$. The proper equilibrium values of m_s( = m_s⁰) and q( d=q₀) are then fixed from the inspection of their behaviors under infinitesimal uniform field proproportional to N^-a($\text{a ≧ 0}$).     

Fisher renormalization in a compressible spherical model

The Fisher-renormalized Ising exponents are being shown to correspond rather to a compressible spherical model of Berlin and Kac, than to the compressible Ising model of Baker and Essam.
