On the limit of extreme eigenvalues of large dimensional random quaternion matrices

Since E.P. Wigner (1958) established his famous semicircle law, lots of attention has been paid by physicists, probabilists and statisticians to study the asymptotic properties of the largest eigenvalues for random matrices. Bai and Yin (1988) obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong convergence of the extreme eigenvalues of a Wigner matrix. In this paper, we consider the case of quaternion self-dual Hermitian matrices. We prove the necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong convergence of extreme eigenvalues of quaternion self-dual Hermitian matrices corresponding to the Wigner case.     

On the determination of energy eigenvalues and coupling strengths using duality

The Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov method of determining the eigenvalues and coupling strengths, from the operator product expansion, for the current correlation functions is studied in the nonrelativistic context, using the semiclassical expansion. The relationship between the low-lying eigenvalues, and the leading corrections to the imaginary-time Green function is elucidated by comparing systems which have almost identical spectra. In the case of an anharmonic oscillator it is found that with the procedure stated in the paper, that inclusion of more terms to the asymptotic expansion does not show any simple trend towards convergence to the exact values. Generalization to higher partial waves is given. In particular for the P-level of the oscillator, the procedure gives poorer results than for the S-level, although the ratio of the two comes out much better.     

Spin-orbit coupling in oxygen near the dissociation limit

By using the method of configuration interactions in the valence basis with triple exponentials, the spectrum of the oxygen molecule is calculated in a range of internuclear distances from 1.2 to 2.45 Å, with the matrix of configuration interactions being diagonalized with regard to the spin-orbit coupling. The matrix elements of the spin-orbit coupling are presented, along with the spin splittings of triplet and quintet states. Particular attention is given to the intermediate range for the breaking of the O=O bond (1.8–2.45 Å), where the strong mixing of multiplets and rearrangement of the valence bonding to the atomic limit O(³ P)+O(³ P) occur. Other dissociation limits up to O(¹ D)+O(¹ D) are also taken into account. The results obtained are discussed in the context of the theory of the chemical bond, catalysis, radiation collisions, and the theory of spectral bands for high vibrational quantum numbers.     

The perturbative expansion and the infinite coupling limit

Using the numerical input the first orders of the perturbative expansion, we compute the ground state energy of the anharmonic oscillator in the infinite coupling limit.     

多层单向耦合星形网络的特征值谱及同步能力分析

随着复杂网络同步的进一步发展,对复杂网络的研究重点由单层网络转向更加接近实际网络的多层有向网络.本文分别严格推导出三层、多层的单向耦合星形网络的特征值谱,并分析了耦合强度、节点数、层数对网络同步能力的影响,重点分析了层数和层间中心节点之间的耦合强度对多层单向耦合星形网络同步能力的影响,得出了层数对多层网络同步能力的影响至关重要.当同步域无界时,网络的同步能力与耦合强度、层数有关,同步能力随其增大而增强;当同步域有界时,对于叶子节点向中心节点耦合的多层星形网络,当层内耦合强度较弱时,层内耦合强度的增大会使同步能力增强,而层间叶子节点之间的耦合强度、层数的增大反而会使同步能力减弱;当层间中心节点之间的耦合强度较弱时,层间中心节点之间的耦合强度、层数的增大会使同步能力增强,层内耦合强度、层间叶子节点之间的耦合强度的增大反而会使同步能力减弱.对于中心节点向叶子节点耦合的多层星形网络,层间叶子节点之间的耦合强度、层数的增大会使同步能力增强,层内耦合强度、节点数、层间中心节点之间的耦合强度的增大反而会使同步能力减弱.     

Lattice instantons in the large dimension limit

We give a lattice construction of the discretizations of the topologically nontrivial maps S ^2n–1S ⁿ . For n=1, 2, 4, 8, these are the Hopf maps. The construction, based on Barnes-Wall lattices, Reed-Muller error-correcting codes, and Hadamard matrices, generalizes to n=2 ⁱ for i any integer. Manton's result for the cases n=2 and 4 (i.e., the monopole and instanton) are included. We argue that discrete harmonic analysis will be exact in the infinite dimension limit.Work supported in part by the DOE contract #DE-ACO2-87ER-40325.B.Department of Energy Outstanding Junior Investigator supported in part by DOE contract number DE-FGO5-85ER-40226.

The normalization group in the large N limit is described and its fixed point and eigenvalues determined for 2 < d < 4. N is the number of components of the order parameter and d is the dimension.     

Soliton junctions in the large magnetic flux limit

We study the flux tube junctions in the limit of large magnetic flux. In this limit the flux tube becomes a wall vortex which is a wall of negligible thickness (compared to the radius of the tube) compactified on a cylinder and stabilized by the flux inside. This wall surface can also assume different shapes that correspond to soliton junctions. We can have a flux tube that ends on a wall, a flux tube that ends on a monopole and more generic configurations containing all three of them. In this paper we find the differential equations that describe the shape of the wall vortex surface for these junctions. We will restrict to the cases of cylindrical symmetry. We also solve numerically these differential equations for various kinds of junctions. We finally find an interesting relation between soliton junctions and dynamical systems.     

The proper form of the generator in the weak coupling limit

In the literature one finds several different Markov approximations for a quantum system weakly coupled to a thermal reservoir. We want to point out that, in general, only the rigorous approximation given by E.B. Davies preserves positivity.     

The nonrelativistic limit of the relativistic point coupling model

We relate the relativistic finite range mean-field model (RMF-FR) to the point-coupling variant and compare the nonlinear density dependence. From this, the effective Hamiltonian of the nonlinear point-coupling model in the nonrelativistic limit is derived. Different from the nonrelativistic models, the nonlinearity in the relativistic models automatically yields contributions in the form of a weak density dependence not only in the central potential but also in the spin-orbit potential. The central potential affects the bulk and surface properties while the spin-orbit potential is crucial for the shell structure of finite nuclei. A modification in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model with a density-dependent spin-orbit potential inspired by the point-coupling model is suggested.     

(De)coupling limit of DGP

We investigate the decoupling limit in the DGP model of gravity by studying its non-linear equations of motion. We show that, unlike 4D massive gravity, the limiting theory does not reduce to a sigma model of a single scalar field: Non-linear mixing terms of the scalar with a tensor also survive. Because of these terms physics of DGP is different from that of the scalar sigma model. We show that the static spherically-symmetric solution of the scalar model found in [A. Nicolis, R. Rattazzi, JHEP 0406 (2004) 059, hep-th/0404159], is not a solution of the full set of non-linear equations. As a consequence of this, the interesting result on hidden superluminality uncovered recently in the scalar model in [A. Adams, N. Arkani-Hamed, S. Dubovsky, A. Nicolis, R. Rattazzi, hep-th/0602178], is not applicable to the DGP model of gravity. While the sigma model violates positivity constraints imposed by analyticity and the Froissart bound, the latter cannot be applied here because of the long-range tensor interactions that survive in the decoupling limit. We discuss further the properties of the Schwarzschild solution that exhibits the gravitational mass-screening phenomenon.     

Ground state properties of the falicov-kimball model in the strong coupling limit

We present some analytic results concerning the ground state of the one-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model in the strong coupling limit. Using the perturbation theory, we find: (i) The well-expected phase segregation takes place for ¦U¦ (U is the interaction strength), (ii) For finiteU there exists the critical value of the interaction strengthU =U _c, below which the segregated phase — an incoherent mixture of the empty and full lattices cannot be the ground state of the model. We give the analytical expression for this boundary. Finally, we discuss the phase diagram of the model for some special configuration of ions.     

Haldane-like antiferromagnetic spin chain in the large anisotropy limit

We consider the one dimensional, periodic spin chain with N sites, similar to the one studied by Haldane [1], however in the opposite limit of very large anisotropy and small nearest neighbour, anti-ferromagnetic exchange coupling between the spins, which are of large magnitude s. For a chain with an even number of sites we show that actually the ground state is non-degenerate and given by a superposition of the two Neél states, due to quantum spin tunnelling. With an odd number of sites, the Neél state must necessarily contain a soliton. The position of the soliton is arbitrary thus the ground state is N-fold degenerate. This set of states reorganizes into a band. We show that this occurs at order 2s in perturbation theory. The ground state is non-degenerate for integer spin, but degenerate for half-odd integer spin as is required by Kramers' theorem [18].
