Projectively Equivariant Quantizations over the Superspace $${\mathbb{R}^{p|q}}$$

We investigate the concept of projectively equivariant quantization in the framework of super projective geometry. When the projective superalgebra \mathfrakpgl(p+1|q){\mathfrak{pgl}(p+1|q)} is simple, our result is similar to the classical one in the purely even case: we prove the existence and uniqueness of the quantization except in some critical situations. When the projective superalgebra is not simple (i.e. in the case of \mathfrakpgl(n|n)\not @ \mathfraksl(n|n){\mathfrak{pgl}(n|n)\not\cong \mathfrak{sl}(n|n)}), we show the existence of a one-parameter family of equivariant quantizations. We also provide explicit formulas in terms of a generalized divergence operator acting on supersymmetric tensor fields.     

Cohomology of $${\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2)$$ Acting on Linear Differential Operators on the Supercircle S1|1

We compute the first cohomology spaces of the Lie superalgebra with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators acting on weighted densities on the supercircle S ^1|1. The structure of these spaces was conjectured in (Gargoubi et al. in Lett Math Phys 79:5165, 2007). In fact, we prove here that the situation is a little bit more complicated.      

{\mathbb{Z}}-Actions on AH Algebras and {\mathbb{Z}^2}-Actions on AF Algebras

We consider \mathbbZ{\mathbb{Z}}-actions (single automorphisms) on a unital simple AH algebra with real rank zero and slow dimension growth and show that the uniform outerness implies the Rohlin property under some technical assumptions. Moreover, two \mathbbZ{\mathbb{Z}}-actions with the Rohlin property on such a C*-algebra are shown to be cocycle conjugate if they are asymptotically unitarily equivalent. We also prove that locally approximately inner and uniformly outer \mathbbZ²{\mathbb{Z}^2}-actions on a unital simple AF algebra with a unique trace have the Rohlin property and classify them up to cocycle conjugacy employing the OrderExt group as classification invariants.     

Noncommutative Riemann Surfaces by Embeddings in $${\mathbb{R}^{3}}$$

We introduce C-Algebras of compact Riemann surfaces as non-commutative analogues of the Poisson algebra of smooth functions on . Representations of these algebras give rise to sequences of matrix-algebras for which matrix-commutators converge to Poisson-brackets as N → ∞. For a particular class of surfaces, interpolating between spheres and tori, we completely characterize (even for the intermediate singular surface) all finite dimensional representations of the corresponding C-algebras.     

A Centre-Stable Manifold for the Focussing Cubic NLS in $${\mathbb{R}}^{1+3}$$

Consider the focussing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in \({\mathbb{R}}^3\) :

$i\psi_t+\Delta\psi = -|\psi|^2 \psi. \quad (0.1) $

It admits special solutions of the form e ^itα ?, where \(\phi \in {\mathcal{S}}({\mathbb{R}}^3)\) is a positive (? > 0) solution of

$-\Delta \phi + \alpha\phi = \phi^3. \quad (0.2)$

The space of all such solutions, together with those obtained from them by rescaling and applying phase and Galilean coordinate changes, called standing waves, is the 8-dimensional manifold that consists of functions of the form \(e^{i(v \cdot + \Gamma)} \phi(\cdot - y, \alpha)\) . We prove that any solution starting sufficiently close to a standing wave in the \(\Sigma = W^{1, 2}({\mathbb{R}}^3) \cap |x|^{-1}L^2({\mathbb{R}}^3)\) norm and situated on a certain codimension-one local Lipschitz manifold exists globally in time and converges to a point on the manifold of standing waves. Furthermore, we show that \({\mathcal{N}}\) is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, locally in time, and is a centre-stable manifold in the sense of Bates, Jones [BatJon]. The proof is based on the modulation method introduced by Soffer and Weinstein for the L ²-subcritical case and adapted by Schlag to the L ²-supercritical case. An important part of the proof is the Keel-Tao endpoint Strichartz estimate in \({\mathbb{R}}^3\) for the nonselfadjoint Schrödinger operator obtained by linearizing (0.1) around a standing wave solution. All results in this paper depend on the standard spectral assumption that the Hamiltonian

$\mathcal H = \left ( \begin{array}{cc}\Delta + 2\phi(\cdot, \alpha)^2 - \alpha &;\quad \phi(\cdot, \alpha)^2 \\ -\phi(\cdot, \alpha)^2 &;\quad -\Delta - 2 \phi(\cdot, \alpha)^2 + \alpha \end{array}\right ) \quad (0.3)$

has no embedded eigenvalues in the interior of its essential spectrum \((-\infty, -\alpha) \cup (\alpha, \infty)\) .

     

Canonical Basis for Quantum {\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)}

We introduce a modified quantum enveloping algebra as well as a (modified) covering quantum algebra for the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebra ${\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)}$ . Then we formulate and compute the corresponding canonical bases, and relate them to the counterpart for ${\mathfrak{sl}(2)}$ . This provides a first example of canonical basis for quantum superalgebras.     

The extremal black holes of {\mathcal{N} = 4} supergravity from {\mathfrak{so}(8, 2 + n)} nilpotent orbits

We consider the stationary solutions of ${\mathcal{N} = 4}$ supergravity coupled to n vector multiplets that define linear superpositions of non-interacting extremal black holes. The most general solutions of this type are derived from the graded decompositions of ${\mathfrak{so}(8, 2 + n)}$ associated to its nilpotent orbits. We illustrate the formalism by giving explicitly asymptotically Minkowski non-BPS solutions of the most exotic class depending on 6 + n harmonic functions.     

Dimensional Crossover in Anisotropic Percolation on $${\mathbb {Z}}^{d+s}$$

We consider bond percolation on \({\mathbb {Z}}^d\times {\mathbb {Z}}^s\) where edges of \({\mathbb {Z}}^d\) are open with probability \(p<p_c({\mathbb {Z}}^d)\) and edges of \({\mathbb {Z}}^s\) are open with probability q, independently of all others. We obtain bounds for the critical curve in (p, q), with p close to the critical threshold \(p_c({\mathbb {Z}}^d)\). The results are related to the so-called dimensional crossover from \({\mathbb {Z}}^d\) to \({\mathbb {Z}}^{d+s}\).     

Global Well-Posedness of the Energy-Critical Defocusing NLS on $${\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T}^3}$$

We prove global well-posedness in H ¹ for the energy-critical defocusing initial-value problem \({(i\partial_t+\Delta_x)u=u|u|^2,\quad u(0)=\phi,}\) in the semiperiodic setting \({x\in\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T}^3}\) .     

A Note on the Abelian Sandpile in $\pmb{\mathbb{Z}}^{d}$

We analyze the abelian sandpile model on ℤ ^d for the starting configuration of n particles in the origin and 2d−2 particles otherwise. We give a new short proof of the theorem of Fey, Levine and Peres (J. Stat. Phys. 198:143–159, 2010) that the radius of the toppled cluster of this configuration is O(n ^1/d ).     

{\mathbb{Z}_{2}} Invariants of Topological Insulators as Geometric Obstructions

We consider a gapped periodic quantum system with time-reversal symmetry of fermionic (or odd) type, i.e. the time-reversal operator squares to \({-\mathbb{1}}\). We investigate the existence of periodic and time-reversal invariant Bloch frames in dimensions 2 and 3. In 2d, the obstruction to the existence of such a frame is shown to be encoded in a \({\mathbb{Z}_2}\)-valued topological invariant, which can be computed by a simple algorithm. We prove that the latter agrees with the Fu-Kane index. In 3d, instead, four \({\mathbb{Z}_2}\) invariants emerge from the construction, again related to the Fu-Kane-Mele indices. When no topological obstruction is present, we provide a constructive algorithm yielding explicitly a periodic and time-reversal invariant Bloch frame. The result is formulated in an abstract setting, so that it applies both to discrete models and to continuous ones.     

Cluster model of defective solid solutionsMe_{c_1 }^{(1)} Me_{c_2 }^{(2)} B_x^{(1)} B_y^{(2)}

In a cluster model of defective solid solutions the cluster components are determined and their concentration is found as a function of the defectiveness for solutions \(Me_{c_1 }^{(1)} Me_{c_2 }^{(2)} B_x^{(1)} B_y^{(2)}\) in the case of limited and unlimited solubility. An interpretation is given of the dependence of the lattice parameter, magnetic moment, and Curie point on the composition in a cluster component model, using the example of oxycarbides, oxynitrides, and solutions of certain metals in Mn₄N.     

Hyperfine splitting constants in the optical transition \boldsymbol{{4{f}^{7}} {6{s}^{2}} \;{^{8}{\rm S}_{7/2}} \to {4{f}^{7}} {6{s}6{p}}\; {^{6}{\rm P}_{5/2}} \ {\rm of} \ {^{151-155}{\rm Eu}}} isotopes and hyperfine anomaly

Using the method of laser-induced fluorescence in an atomic beam we have measured the hyperfine splitting constants, A and B, of the ground and excited states of the optical transition 4f ⁷6s ^{2 8}S $_{1/2}\to 4f^{7}$ 6s6p ⁶P_5/2 (564.58 nm) for ^151???155Eu isotopes. For all isotopes, the magnetic dipole constants of the ⁶P_5/2 atomic level are determined to a precision better than 0.04%. The A and B constants for the ground state ⁸S_7/2 of the radioactive ^152,154,155Eu were obtained for the first time with a precision better than 0.5%. Our data along with previous ground state hyperfine structure measurements for the stable europium isotopes allow us to determine the hyperfine anomaly for mentioned Eu isotopes.     

Mutually Unbiasedness between Maximally Entangled Bases and Unextendible Maximally Entangled Systems in $\mathbb {C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb {C}^{2^{k}}$

The mutually unbiasedness between a maximally entangled basis (MEB) and an unextendible maximally entangled system (UMES) in the bipartite system \(\mathbb {C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb {C}^{2^{k}} (k>1)\) are introduced and discussed first in this paper. Then two mutually unbiased pairs of a maximally entangled basis and an unextendible maximally entangled system are constructed; lastly, explicit constructions are obtained for mutually unbiased MEB and UMES in \(\mathbb {C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb {C}^{4}\) and \(\mathbb {C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb {C}^{8}\), respectively.
