Scatteing for hydrogen-like systems in a constant magnetic field ∗∗

We prove asymptotic completeness for a system of two particles with opposite charges interacting via a long-range potential decaying faster than |r|^-1/2 at infinity in a homogeneous magnetic field. In particular, our result implies asymptotic completeness for the hydrogen atom with finite nuclear mass in a uniform magnetic field, which has not been proven previously.     

A Marcinkiewicz criterion for L~p-multipliers related to Schrdinger operators with constant magnetic fields

In this paper,we follow Dappa’s work to establish the Marcinkiewicz criterion for the spectral multipliers related to the Schrdinger operator with a constant magnetic field.We prove that if m and m′are locally absolutely continuous on(0,∞)and ‖m‖∞+sup j∈Z2j 2i+1 r|m′′(r)|dr∞,then the multiplier defined by m(t)is bounded on Lpfor 2n/(n+3)p2n/(n-3)with n 3.Our approach is based on the estimates for the generalized Littlewood-Paley functions of the spectral representation of the Schrdinger operator with a constant magnetic field.     

Two-time temperature Green’s functions in kinetic theory and molecular hydrodynamics: II. Equations for pair-interaction systems

We consider two approaches to the calculation of correlation functions for a system of particles with direct pair interaction. The first is based on a chain of equations that determines a Boltzmann-type kinetic equation; the second is based on a chain of molecular hydrodynamic equations. We demonstrate that the two approaches are equivalent in the sense that they completely describe the system under consideration. We discuss the advantages of the approach based on the molecular hydrodynamic equations. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 119, No. 1, pp. 142–166, April, 1999.     

Scattering theory for one-dimensional systems with ∝ dx V(x) = 0

Low-energy scattering for Schrödinger operators of the type H= −Δ + V in L²(R) with ∫_Rdx V(x) = 0 is considered. The possibility of zero-energy eigenstates of H is taken into account explicitly. In particular, a Laurent expansion for the transition operator and recursion relations for its coefficients are provided and the leading behaviour of the scattering operator is given in all possible cases.     

Weakly elliptic systems with obstacle constraints Part II — An N × N model problem

Existence, uniqueness (even stability), and regularity are established for a special system of variational inequalities of obstacle type. The system is only considered to be elliptic in the weakest possible sense. The system includes a version of the biharmonic and polyharmonic obstacle problems. The main aspect of this problem and the approach here is its reduction via algebraic invarients to special canonical forms. One might view this work as the beginnings of a “group analysis” of variational inequalities. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Guido Stampacchia (1922–1978).     

Inverse Scattering for Schrödinger Operators with Miura Potentials,II. Different Riccati Representatives

This is the second in a series of papers on scattering theory for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with Miura potentials admitting a Riccati representation of the form q = u′ + u ² for some u ∈ L ²(?). We consider potentials for which there exist ‘left’ and ‘right’ Riccati representatives with prescribed integrability on half-lines. This class includes all Faddeev–Marchenko potentials in L ¹(?, (1 + |x|)dx) generating positive Schrödinger operators as well as many distributional potentials with Dirac delta-functions and Coulomb-like singularities. We completely describe the corresponding set of reflection coefficients r and justify the algorithm reconstructing q from r.     

Existence and concentration results for some fractional Schrödinger equations in RN with magnetic fields

We consider some nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations with magnetic field and involving continuous nonlinearities having subcritical, critical or supercritical growth. Under a local condition on the potential, we use minimax methods to investigate the existence and concentration of nontrivial weak solutions.     

Calculations in conformal theory needed for verifying the Alday—Gaiotto—Tachikawa hypothesis

Explicitly verifying the Alday—Gaiotto—Tachikawa (AGT) relation between the conformal blocks controlled by the WN symmetry and U(N) Nekrasov functions requires knowing the Shapovalov matrix and various triple correlators for W-algebra descendants. We collect the simplest expressions of this type for N = 3 and for the two lowest descendant levels together with the detailed derivations, which can now be computerized and used in more general studies of conformal blocks and AGT relations at higher levels.     

Turing pattern formation for reaction–convection–diffusion systems in fixed domains submitted to toroidal velocity fields

We have studied the effect of advection on reaction–diffusion equations by using toroidal velocity fields. Turing patterns formation in diffusion–advection–reaction problems was studied specifically, considering the Schnackenberg and glycolysis reaction kinetics models. Four cases were analyzed and solved numerically using finite elements. For glycolysis models, the advective effect modified the form of Turing patterns obtained with diffusion–reaction; whereas for Schnackenberg problems, the original patterns distorted themselves slightly, making them rotate in direction of the velocity field. We have also determined that the advective effect surpassed the diffusive one for high values of velocity and instability driven by diffusion was eliminated. On the other hand the advective effect is not considerable for very low values in the velocity field, and there was no modification in the original Turing pattern.     

An approximation algorithm for quadratic dynamic systems based on N. Chomsky’s grammar for Taylor’s formula

Single-step methods for the approximate solution of the Cauchy problem for dynamic systems are discussed. It is shown that a numerical integration algorithm with a high degree of accuracy based on Taylor’s formula can be proposed in the case of quadratic systems. An explicit estimate is given for the remainder. The algorithm is based on N. Chomsky’s generative grammar for the language of terms of Taylor’s formula.     

Scattering problem for the Schrödinger equation in the case of a potential linear in time and coordinate. I. Asymptotics in the shadow zone

The formal asymptotics of the scattering problem for the Schrödinger equation with a linear potential as x+¦t¦+ is studied. In the shadow zone a formal asymptotic expansion is constructed which is matched with the known asymptotics as t– The expansion constructed loses asymptotic character near the curve x=1/6 t³ (in the so-called projector zone). An assumption regarding the analogous behavior of the asymptotic series in the projector zone makes it possible to construct an expansion in the post-projection zone which goes over into the formulas for creeping waves.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 140, pp. 6–17, 1984.In conclusion, the authors would like to bring to the reader's attention another approach to asymptotics in the projector zone proposed by M. M. Popov (see the present collection).
