Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.     

Regular homomorphisms of generalized projective planes

A generalized projective plane is an incidence structure together with a relation distant on the set of points and also on the set of lines, such that any two distant points A,B (lines a,b) have a unique common line (A,B) (common point (a,b)) and three further axioms hold. Every commutative ring with 1 supplies a model. A homomorphism of into an incidence structure is called regular if the following condition and its dual are valid: A distant B and c IA,B implies c=(A,B). We shall prove the following two theorems. Let be a generalized projective plane satisfying a richness condition called (U). Let M I m. If and are regular homomorphisms of such that X = M X = M for each point X of the line m then A = B A = B for any two points A,B. If is a projective plane over a commutative ring such that (U) holds then the surjective regular homomorphisms of are induced by the ideals of the ring; in particular, the image of under a regular homomorphism is again a projective plane over a ring, and preserves distant.     

ε-Expansions in Dyson's Hierarchical Model

We consider Dyson's hierarchical model on a d-dimensional hierarchical lattice and define a renormalization group (RG) transformation for complex values of d as a map in the space of sequences of coupling constants determining the model Hamiltonian. We show that d=4 is a bifurcation value of this transformation for the RG transformation parameter equal to 1+2/d, and we construct a non-Gaussian RG-invariant Hamiltonian in terms of the (4–d)-expansion. We establish that the (–3/2)- and (4–d)-expansion coefficients for a non-Gaussian fixed point in the dimension d=3 have the same asymptotic representation as the size of the elementary cell tends to infinity, thus confirming that both the expansions describe the same nontrivial fixed point in the dimension three.     

Universal Invariant Renormalization for the Supersymmetric Yang–Mills Theory

On the long term behavior of some finite particle systems

Summary We consider the problem of comparing large finite and infinite systems with locally interacting components, and present a general comparison scheme for the case when the infinite system is nonergodic. We show that this scheme holds for some specific models. One of these is critical branching random walk onZ ^d . Let _t denote this system, and let _t ^N denote a finite version of _t defined on the torus [–N,N] ^d Z ^d . Ford3 we prove that for stationary, shift ergodic initial measures with density , that ifT(N) andT(N)/(2N+1)^d s[0,] asN, then {v }, 0 is the set of extremal invariant measures for the infinite system _t andQ _s is the transition function of Feller's branching diffusion. We prove several extensions and refinements of this result. The other systems we consider are the voter model and the contact process.Work supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-8802055, by the U.S. Army Research Office through the Mathematical Sciences Institute at Cornell University and by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft through the SFB 123 at the Universität Heidelberg     

Constructive Axiomatic Approach to the Determination of the Orbit Spaces of Coregular Compact Linear Groups

We review the proposal of a constructive axiomatic approach to the determination of the orbit spaces of all the real compact linear groups, obtained through the computation of a metric matrix , which is defined only in terms of the scalar products between the gradients p₁(x),...,p_q(x) of the elements of a minimal integrity basis (MIB) for the ring [ⁿ]^G of G-invariant polynomials. The domain of semi-positivity of is known to realize the orbit space ⁿ/G of G as a semi-algebraic variety in the space ^q spanned by the variables p₁,...,p_q. The matrices can be obtained from the solutions of a universal differential equation (master equation), which satisfy convenient initial conditions. The master equation and the initial conditions involve as free parameters only the degrees d_a of the p_a(x)s. This approach tries to bypass the actual impossibility of explicitly determining a set of basic polynomial invariants for each group. Our results may be relevant in physical contexts where the study of covariant or invariant functions is important, like in the determination of patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum field theory, in the analysis of phase spaces and structural phase transitions (Landaus theory), in covariant bifurcation theory, in crystal field theory and so on.

Positive Solutions for a Singular Nonlinear Problem on a Bounded Domain in R 2

For a bounded regular Jordan domain in R ², we introduce and study a new class of functions K() related on its Green function G. We exploit the properties of this class to prove the existence and the uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear elliptic equation u+(x,u)=0, in D(), with u=0 on and uC(), where is a nonnegative Borel measurable function in ×(0,) that belongs to a convex cone which contains, in particular, all functions (x,t)=q(x)t ^–,>0 with nonnegative functions qK(). Some estimates on the solution are also given.     

The Length of the Longest Head-Run in a Model with Long Range Dependence

In this paper, we construct stationary sequences of random variables { _i : i0} taking values ±1 with probability 1/2 and we prove an Erdös–Rényi law of large numbers for the length of the longest run of consecutive +1's in the sample {₀,..., _n }. Our model, which is called random walk in random scenery, exhibits long-range, positive dependence.     

On the Continuity of Pathwise Solutions to Langevin Equations in Infinite Dimensions

We fix a rich probability space (,F,P). Let (H,) be a separable Hilbert space and let be the canonical cylindrical Gaussian measure on H. Given any abstract Wiener space (H,B,) over H, and for every Hilbert–Schmidt operator T: HBH which is (|{}|,)-continuous, where |{}| stands for the (Gross-measurable) norm on B, we construct an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process : (,F,P)×[0,1](B,|{}|) as a pathwise solution of the following infinite-dimensional Langevin equation d _t =db _t +T( _t )dt with the initial data ₀=0, where b is a B-valued Brownian motion based on the abstract Wiener space (H,B,). The richness of the probability space (,F,P) then implies the following consequences: the probability space is independent of the abstract Wiener space (H,B,) (in the sense that (,F,P) does not depend on the choice of the Gross-measurable norm |{}|) and the space C _B consisting of all continuous B-valued functions on [0,1] is identical with the set of all paths of . Finally, we present a way to obtain pathwise continuous solutions :d _t =

On a Problem of D. H. Lehmer and Kloosterman Sums

Let q3 be an odd number, a be any fixed positive integer with (a, q)=1. For each integer b with 1b<q and (b, q)=1, it is clear that there exists one and only one c with 0<c<q such that bca (mod q). Let N(a, q) denote the number of all solutions of the congruent equation bca (mod q) for 1b, c<q in which b and c are of opposite parity, and let . The main purpose of this paper is to study the distribution properties of E(a, q), and to give a sharper hybrid mean value formula involving E(a, q) and Kloosterman sums.Received January 24, 2002; in revised form August 12, 2002 Published online February 28, 2003     

A Method of Solution for the One-Dimensional Heat Equation Subject to Nonlocal Conditions

The problem of solving the one-dimensional heat equation /t - ²/x² = f(x, t) subject to given initial and nonlocal conditions is considered. It is solved in the Laplace transform domain by taking the Laplace transform of the unknown function with respect to time t. The physical solution is recovered with the help of a numerical technique for inverting the Laplace transform.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 35K20.     

Daugavet type inequalities for operators on L p–spaces

Let T be a regular operator from L ^p L ^p. Then , where T_r denotes the regular norm of T, i.e., T_r=|T| where |T| denotes the modulus operator of a regular operator T. For p=1 every bounded linear operator is regular and T=T_r, so that the above inequality generalizes the Daugavet equation for operators on L ¹–spaces. The main result of this paper (Theorem 9) is a converse of the above result. Let T be a regular linear operator on L _p and denote by T _A the operator T_A. Then for all A with (A)>0 if and only if .     

On the asymptotic equivalence ofL pmetrics for convergence to normality

Summary This paper is concerned with the rate of convergence to zero of theL _pmetrics _np1p, constructed out of differences between distribution functions, for departure from normality for normed sums of independent and identically distributed random variables with zero mean and unit variance. It is shown that the _np are, under broad conditions, asymptotically equivalent in the strong sense that, for 1p, p, _np/_np is universally bounded away from zero and infinity asn.

Circularity of Finite Groups without Fixed Points

Let be a fixed point free group given by the presentation where and are relative prime numbers, t = /s and s = gcd( – 1,), and is the order of modulo . We prove that if (1) = 2, and (2) is embeddable into the multiplicative group of some skew field, then is circular. This means that there is some additive group N on which acts fixed point freely, and |((a)+b)((c)+d)| 2 whenever a,b,c,d N, a0c, are such that (a)+b(c)+d.     

Singular Eigenvalue Problems for the Equation y (n) + λp(x)y = 0

The paper studies singular eigenvalue problems for the equation y ⁽ⁿ⁾ +p(x)y=0 with boundary conditions imposed on the derivatives y ⁽ⁱ⁾ at the points x=a and x=. We look for singular problems which are analogous to regular problems on a finite interval. It is characterized when each eigenfunction has a finite number of zeros and when the spectrum is discrete or continuous, respectively.     

Left linear theories — A generalization of module theory

In this paper we introduce left linear theories of exponentN (a set) on the setL as mapsL ×L ^N (l, ) l · L such that for alll L and , L ^N the relation (l · ) =l( · ) holds, where · L ^N is given by ( · )(i) = (i),i N. We assume thatL has a unit, that is an element L ^N withl · =l, for alll L, and · = , for all L ^N . Next, left (resp. right)L-modules andL-M-bimodules and their homomorphisms are defined and lead to categoriesL-Mod, Mod-L, andL-M-Mod. These categories are algebraic categories and their free objects are described explicitly. Finally, Hom(X, Y) andX Y are introduced and their properties are investigated.Herrn Professor Dr. D.

Local invariants of differential equations

We consider an analytic system X=(X) in the neighborhood of the fixed point X=0. Depending on the characteristic numbers of the matrix (/x)₀, we define the integer d 0 as the dimension of the normal form or as the multiplicity of the resonance. We show that a system with d=1, subject to certain additional assumptions, has a finite number of invariants relative to reversible formal changes of variablesx = (Y). All these invariants are the coefficients of some normal form. We touch upon questions concerning invariants of relatively smooth and continuous substitutions.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 499–507, October, 1973.
