New variable separation solutions for the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations

The functionally generalized variable separation of the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations ut = A(u, ux)uxx +B(u, ux) is studied by using the conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetry method. The variant forms of the considered equations,which admit the corresponding conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetries, are characterized. To construct functionally generalized separable solutions, several concrete examples defined on the exponential and trigonometric invariant subspaces are provided.     

On generalized Bäcklund transformations for equations describing pseudo-spherical surfaces

It is shown that each one-parameter subgroup of SL(2,R) gives rise to a local correspondence theorem between suitably generic solutions of arbitrary scalar equations describing pseudo-spherical surfaces. Thus, if appropriate genericity conditions are satisfied, there exist local transformations between any two solutions of scalar equations arising as integrability conditions of sl(2,R)-valued linear problems.

A complete characterization of evolution equations u_t=K(x,t,u,u_x,…,u_x^k) which are of strictly pseudo-spherical type is also provided.     

Non-universal critical behaviour of heteronuclear dimers on a square lattice––A Monte Carlo study

Monte Carlo simulation within the grand canonical ensemble, the histogram reweighting technique, and finite size scaling analysis are used to explore the phase behaviour of heteronuclear dimers, composed of A and B type atoms, on a square lattice. We have found that for the models with attractive BB and AB nearest-neighbour energy, u_BB=u_AB=−1, and for non-repulsive energy between AA nearest-neighbour sites, u_AA<0, the system belongs to the universality class of the two-dimensional Ising model. However, when u_AA>0, the system exhibits a non-universal critical behaviour. We have evaluated the dependences of the critical point characteristics on the value of u_AA.

On nonanalytic solitary waves formed by a nonlinear dispersion

We study the prototypical, genuinely nonlinear, K(m, n) equation, u_t ± a(u^m)_x + (uⁿ)_xxx = 0, a = const, which exhibits a number of remarkable dispersive effects. In particular, the distinguished subclass wherein m = n + 2 is transformed into a new, purely dispersive equation free of convection. In addition to compactons, the K(m, n) can support both kinks and solitons with an infinite slope(s), periodic waves and dark solitons with cusp(s) all being manifestations of nonlinear dispersion in action. For n < 0 the enhanced dispersion at the tail may generate algebraically decaying patterns.

1-forms over the moduli space of irreducible connections defined by the spectrum of Dirac operators

Let (P) be the moduli space of irreducible connections of a G-principal bundle P over a closed Riemannian spin manifold M. Let D_A be the Dirac operator of M coupled to a connection A of P and f a smooth function on M. We consider a smooth variation A(u) of A with tangent vector ω and denote T_ω:= (D_A(u)−f) (u=0. The coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of trace (T_ω · e^-t(D_A−f)2) near t=0 define 1-forms a^(k)_f, K=0, 1, 2, … on (P). In this paper we calculate aa⁽⁰⁾_f, a⁽¹⁾_f, a⁽²⁾_f and study some of their properties. For instance using the 1-form a⁽²⁾_f for suitable functions f we obtain a foliation of codimension 5 of the space of G-instantons of S⁴.     

Generalized Einstein manifolds

A Finslerian manifold is called a generalized Einstein manifold (GEM) if the Ricci directional curvature R(u,u) is independent of the direction. Let F⁰(M, g_t) be a deformation of a compact n-dimensional Finslerian manifold preserving the volume of the unitary fibre bundle W(M). We prove that the critical points g₀ F⁰(g_t) of the integral I(g_t) on W(M) of the Finslerian scalar curvature (and certain functions of the scalar curvature) define a GEM. We give an estimate of the eigenvalues of Laplacian Δ defined on W(M) operating on the functions coming from the base when (M, g) is of minima fibration with a constant scalar curvature H admitting a conformal infinitesimal deformation (CID). We obtain λ ≥ H/(n − 1) (Δf = λf). If M is simply connected and λ = H/(n − 1), then (M, g) is Riemannian and is isometric to an n-sphere. We first calculate, in the general case, the formula of the second variationals of the integral I (g_t) for G = g₀, then for a CID we show that for certain Finslerian manifolds, I″(g₀) > 0. Applications to the gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity are given. We prove that the spaces characterizing Einstein-Maxwell equations are GEMs.

Transport in the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt3

We report new theoretical results and analysis for the transport properties of superconducting UPt₃ based on the leading models for the pairing symmetry. We use Fermi surface data and the measured inelastic scattering rate to show that the low-temperature thermal conductivity and transverse sound attenuation in the A- and B-phase of UPt₃ are in excellent agreement with pairing states belonging to the two-dimensional orbital E_2u representation.     

Projective and affine connections on S and integrable systems

It is known that the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is a geodesic flow of an L² metric on the Bott–Virasoro group. This can also be interpreted as a flow on the space of projective connections on S¹. The space of differential operators Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=∂ⁿ+u₂∂ⁿ⁻²++u_n form the space of extended or generalized projective connections. If a projective connection is factorizable Δ⁽ⁿ⁾=(∂−((n+1)/2−1)p₁)(∂+(n−1)/2p_n) with respect to quasi primary fields p_i’s, then these fields satisfy ∑_i=1ⁿ((n+1)/2−i)p_i=0. In this paper we discuss the factorization of projective connection in terms of affine connections. It is shown that the Burgers equation and derivative non-linear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation or the Kaup–Newell equation is the Euler–Arnold flow on the space of affine connections.     

Effects of the dust size distribution in one-dimensional quantum dusty plasma

The effects of the dust size distribution in ultracold quantum dusty plasmas are investigated. The amplitude φ_m and width ω of quantum dust acoustic waves are studied with different dust size distributions in the system. The φ_m and ω of the quantum dust acoustic waves are found to increase as the total number density increases. The φ_m and ω are greater for unusual dusty plasmas than for typical dusty plasmas. Moreover, as the Fermi temperature of the dust grains increases, the φ_m of the wave decreases. The ω of quantum dust acoustic waves increases as the speed u₀ of the wave increases.

Interaction of Four Rarefaction Waves in the Bi-Symmetric Class of the Two-Dimensional Euler Equations

The global existence and structures of solutions to multi-dimensional unsteady compressible Euler equations are interesting and important open problems. In this paper, we construct global classical solutions to the interaction of four orthogonal planar rarefaction waves with two axes of symmetry for the Euler equations in two space dimensions, in the case where the initial rarefaction waves are large. The bi-symmetric initial data is a basic type of four-wave two-dimensional Riemann problems. The solutions in this case are continuous, bounded and self-similar, and we characterize how large the rarefaction waves must be. We use the methods of hodograph transformation, characteristic decomposition, and phase space analysis. We resolve binary interactions of simple waves in the process.

Incommensurate magnetic structure of CeSi as observed by neutron diffraction

The magnetic ordering of the orthorhombic compound CeSi (Pama space group, FeB type of structure, Z = 4) T_n = 5.6 K was investigated by means of powder neutron diffraction in the temperatures 1.5 and 10 K. Our results show that the magnetic ordering is associated with a three dimensionally amplitude-modulated phase which is incommensurate with the crystal lattice with wave vector q = (q_χ,q_y,q_z). The ordered Ce³⁺ moments are confined to the plane (a,b) at an angle of 16.7° with the b direction. It follows from the present data analysis that the dominant wave vector component is q_z, which approximately corresponds to a transversal modulation, however the incommensurateness involves also the q_x and q_y components. The amplitude of the sine wave is μ⁰_j = 1.667μ_B at 1.5 K which corresponds to quite a reduced ordered moment value compared to the Ce³⁺ free ion value gJ = 2.14μ_B.     

Heating rate effects for the melting transition of Pt-Ag-Au nanoalloys

The classical molecular dynamics simulations in canonical NVT ensemble conditions are used to investigate the melting transition in different heating rates of Pt-Ag-Au ternary nanoalloys. In order to obtain the initial configurations used in the molecular dynamics simulations, optimizing the chemical ordering of Pt₁₃Ag_nAu_42-n (n=0-42) ternary nanoalloys was performed using the Basin-Hopping algorithm which would not allow changes in the icosahedron structure. The Gupta many-body potential was used to model interatomic interactions in both molecular dynamics simulations and optimization simulations. The melting transitions of selected Pt-Ag-Au nanoalloys were explored using caloric curves and Lindemann parameters. There have been two identified types of melting mechanisms, one includes sudden jump behavior in the caloric curve and the other is an isomerization while melting transition. The temperature range in which the isomerization takes place depends on the heating rate value.     

Molecular parameters describing intermolecular interactions in the electrooptical Kerr effect

Electrooptical Kerr effect has been studied in binary solutions of a dipolar liquid (-picoline, β-picoline) in a non-dipolar solvent (benzene, p-xylene) and 1,4-dioxane in the full range of concentrations of the dipolar component (0 ≤ f₂ ≤ 1). The experimental Kerr constant K_s of the solutions, refraction index n_s, density ρ_s and the dielectric constant ε_s have been measured and used for the calculation of the molar Kerr constants K_S^M within the Onsager local field model. Analysis of changes in the molar Kerr constants as a function of the solute concentration by fits of theoretical functions to the experimental ones has permitted a determination of the parameters characterizing intermolecular interactions in binary solutions.     

From the Solution of the Tsarev System to the Solution of the Whitham Equations

We study the Cauchy problem for the Whitham modulation equations for increasing smooth initial data. The Whitham equations are a collection of one-dimensional quasi-linear hyperbolic systems. This collection of systems is enumerated by the genus g=0,1,2, ... of the corresponding hyperelliptic Riemann surface. Each of these systems can be integrated by the so-called hodograph transformation introduced by Tsarev. A key step in the integration process is the solution of the Tsarev linear overdetermined system. For each g>0, we construct the unique solution of the Tsarev system, which matches the genus g+1 and g–1 solutions on the transition boundaries.
