The equation of motion and gravitational radiation of an ideal fluid sphere moving in a gravitational background

On the basis of an approximation method developed in a previous paper the motion of an ideal fluid sphere in a weak gravitational background is investigated. The sphere is assumed to be small in the sense that its radius is small compared with the change of the background . Furthermore the deformations of the sphere when accelerated by the background are assumed to be small compared with the extension of the sphere in the absence of acceleration. In the lowest mixed order (mixed of the background and the retarded potentials of the sphere in lowest order) the equation of motion is yielded by integrating Einstein's conservation law of energy and momentum over the world-tube of the sphere. One obtains an equation of motion for the center of the sphere that is identical with the geodesic line linearized in . In the case of a static background of a localized matter distribution it is shown that Einstein's energy-momentum complex formed with the retarded potentials from the accelerated motion of the sphere in lowest order (lowest mixed order) leads to an outgoing radiation of gravitational energy. All radiation terms can be expressed in terms of the background and the world-line of the center of the sphere.

Simultaneous geometrization of classical and quantum mechanics of spinless particles

It is shown that classical and quantum equations of motion of a relativistic spinless particle (the Lorentz and Klein-Gordon equations) allow for a geometrization on the same manifold ₄. A classical particle on ₄ is described as a free particle ( p=0), while the quantum particle, as a free wave ( s=0).Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 70–74, September, 1990.     

A remark on tensor representations

The identity $$\sum\limits_{v = 0} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n + 1} \\ v \\ \end{array} } \right)\left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - v} \\ v \\ \end{array} } \right) - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - v} \\ {v - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \right] = ( - 1)^n } $$ is proved and, by means of it, the coefficients of the decomposition ofD ₁ ⁿ into irreducible representations are found. It holds: ifD ₁ ⁿ \(\mathop {\sum ^n }\limits_{m = 0} A_{nm} D_m \) , then $$A_{nm} = \mathop \sum \limits_{\lambda = 0} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ \lambda \\ \end{array} } \right)\left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} \lambda \\ {n - m - \lambda } \\ \end{array} } \right) - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} \lambda \\ {n - m - \lambda - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right)} \right].$$      

An electrical test particle in Einstein's unified field theory

Previous work on a class of exact solutions to the field equations of Einstein's unified field theory has shown that some of these solutions acquire an immediate physical meaning as soon as one allows for external sources, as it occurs in the general theory of relativity. It is evident that a four-current density j ⁱ , appended to the right-hand side of the field equation , has a fundamental role: in some solutions, a string built with this current density gives rise to partons, mutually interacting with forces that do not depend on distance, like the ones invoked to explain the confinement of quarks. In other solutions, for which obeys Maxwell's equations, jⁱ clearly displays electrical behavior. In the present paper it is shown under what conditions the electrical behavior of a charged test particle can be extracted from the field equations and from conservation identities related to the theory, when sources are appended in the way proposed by Borchsenius and Moffat.     

An expansion of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies,relativistic corrections and the dipole matrix element in the powers of of 1/Z

Feynman diagrammatic technique was used for the calculation of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies, relativistic corrections, dipole matrix element. The whole energy of atomic system was defined as a polen-electron Green function. Breit operator was used for the calculation of relativistic corrections. The Feynman diagrammatic technique was developed for 〈H_B>. Analytical expressions for the contributions from diagrams were received. The calculations were carried out for the terms of such configurations as 1s² 2sⁿ¹ 2pⁿ² (2 ≧n₁≧ 0, 6≧ n₂ ≧ 0). Numerical results are presented for the energies of the terms in the form $$E = E_0 Z^2 + \Delta {\rm E}_2 + \frac{1}{Z}\Delta {\rm E}_3 + \frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(E_0^r + \Delta {\rm E}_1^r Z^3 )$$ and for fine structure of the terms in the form $$\begin{gathered} \left\langle {1s^2 2s^{n_1 } 2p^{n_2 } LSJ|H_B |1s^2 2s^{n_1 \prime } 2p^{n_2 \prime } L\prime S\prime J} \right\rangle = \hfill \\ = ( - 1)^{\alpha + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 1} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 [E^{(0)} (Z - B) + \varepsilon _{co} ] + \hfill \\ + ( - 1)^{L + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 2} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 \varepsilon _{cc} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Dipole matrix elements are necessary for calculations of oscillator strengths and transition probabilities. For dipole matrix elements two members of expansion by 1/Z have been obtained. Numerical results were presented in the form P(a,a′) = a/Z(1+τ/Z).     

Influence of electron-phonon interaction in doped silicon crystals on the root-mean-square dynamic displacement of atoms

The root-mean-square dynamic displacements ( ) of silicon atoms in single-crystals doped with phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, boron, gallium, and indium are determined experimentally. Characteristic concentration dependences of are obtained for boron- and phosphorus-doped silicon. A number of experimental facts indicating the existence of electron-phonon interaction in comparison with results in the literature, which are the results of an investigation of the same phenomenon by other methods, is discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 13–17, September, 1977.

Characterizations of Boolean algebras of idempotents

The notions of the left (right) Jordan groupoids are introduced. IfR is an associative^* ring with the identity and ifU(R) [resp.P(R)] denotes the set of all idempotents (resp. projections) of the^* ringR, then the operationsp q =p – 2pq – qp + 4qpq andp q =q – 2pq – 2qp + 4pqp ifp, q U(R) [resp.p, q P(R)] are the nonassociative linear operations inU(R) [resp. inP(R)]. The present paper shows that the operations and are associative iffpq=qp forp, q U(R) [resp.p, q P(R)]. As a corollary it follows from this that the orthomodular poset (U(R), , 0, 1,) is a Boolean algebra [which is commutative, i.e.,pq= qp, p, q U(R)] iff (U(R), , 0, 1,) or (U(R), , 0, 1,) are Jordan associative groupoids. Similar results hold for (P(R), ,0, 1, ).     

Eine scheinbare Abschwächung der Lokalitätsbedingung. II

If for a relativistic field theory the expectation values of the commutator (Ω|[A (x),A(y)]|Ω) vanish in space-like direction like exp {? const|(x-y ²|^α/2#x007D; with α>1 for sufficiently many vectors Ω, it follows thatA(x) is a local field.

Gleichzeitige Messung von Hyperfeinstruktur,Stark-Effekt und Zeeman-Effekt des39K19F mit einer Molekülstrahlresonanzapparatur

An electric Molecular-Beam-Resonance-Spectrometer has been used to measure simultanously the Zeeman- and Stark-effect splitting of the hyperfine structure of³⁹K¹⁹ F. Electric four pole lenses served as focusing and refocusing fields of the spectrometer. A homogenous magnetic field (Zeeman field) was superimposed to the electric field (Stark field) in the transition region of the apparatus. The observed (Δm _J =±1)-transitions were induced electrically. Completely resolved spectra of KF in theJ=1 rotational state have been measured. The obtained quantities are: The electric dipolmomentμ _e l of the molecul forv=0,1 and 2; the rotational magnetic dipolmomentμ _J forv=0,1; the difference of the magnetic shielding (σ_⊥ ? σ_∥) by the electrons of both nuclei as well as the difference of the molecular susceptibility (ξ_⊥ ? ξ_∥). The numerical values are

Lifetimes andg J factors of 6s7p and 5d6p levels of Ba I

Excited states of Ba have been investigated with optical double resonance and Hanle effect. The followingg _J factors and natural lifetimes (in 10^?9 sec) have been measured $$\begin{gathered} 6s7p\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {^1 P_1 :g_J = 1.003(2)\tau = 13.5(6)} \\ {^3 P_1 :g_J = 1.4971(8)\tau = 85.0(8.0)} \\ \end{array} } \right. \hfill \\ 5d6p\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {^1 P_1 :g_J = 1.004(2)\tau = 12.4(9)} \\ {^3 P_1 :g_J = 1.4847(15)\tau = 11.7(9)} \\ {^3 D_1 :g_J = 0.5064(3)\tau = 17.0(5).} \\ \end{array} } \right. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ g _J is utilized to test the mixing coefficients of the wave functions in the intermediate coupling model. The lifetimes are converted into absolute transition probabilities for all the decays originating from the states investigated under the assumption that their branching ratios obtained elsewhere are correct. This assumption is not unquestionable, however.

Quantum conformal superspace

For a compact connected orientablen-manifoldM, n 3, we study the structure ofclassical superspace ,quantum superspace ,classical conformal superspace , andquantum conformal superspace . The study of the structure of these spaces is motivated by questions involving reduction of the usual canonical Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity to a non-degenerate Hamiltonian formulation, and to questions involving the quantization of the gravitational field. We show that if the degree of symmetry ofM is zero, thenS,S ₀,C, andC ₀ areilh orbifolds. The case of most importance for general relativity is dimensionn=3. In this case, assuming that the extended Poincaré conjecture is true, we show that quantum superspaceS ₀ and quantum conformal superspaceC ₀ are in factilh-manifolds. If, moreover,M is a Haken manifold, then quantum superspace and quantum conformal superspace arecontractible ilh-manifolds. In this case, there are no Gribov ambiguities for the configuration spacesS ₀ andC ₀. Our results are applicable to questions involving the problem of thereduction of Einstein's vacuum equations and to problems involving quantization of the gravitational field. For the problem of reduction, one searches for a way to reduce the canonical Hamiltonian formulation together with its constraint equations to an unconstrained Hamiltonian system on a reduced phase space. For the problem of quantum gravity, the spaceC ₀ will play a natural role in any quantization procedure based on the use of conformal methods and the reduced Hamiltonian formulation.     

Determination of heavy quark non-perturbative parametersfrom spectral moments in semileptonic B decays

Moments of the hadronic invariant mass and of the lepton energy spectra in semileptonic B decays have been determined with the data recorded by the DELPHI detector at LEP. From measurements of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decays, and imposing constraints from other measurements on b- and c-quark masses, the first three moments of the lepton energy distribution and of the hadronic mass distribution, have been used to determine parameters which enter into the extraction of |V_cb| from the measurement of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decay width. The values obtained in the kinetic scheme are: and include corrections at order 1/m_b³. Using these results, and present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic decay partial width of b-hadrons at LEP, an accurate determination of |V_cb| is obtained: Received: 26 April 2005, Revised: 16 September 2005, Published online: 16 November 2005
