Spectral Properties of a Piecewise Linear Intermittent Map

For a piecewise linear intermittent map, the evolution of statistical averages of a class of observables with respect to piecewise constant initial densities is investigated and generalized eigenfunctions of the Frobenius–Perron operator ^P are explicitly derived. The evolution of the averages are shown to be a superposition of the contributions from two simple eigenvalues 1 and _d (–1, 0), and a continuous spectrum on the unit interval [0,1] of ^P. Power-law decay of correlations are controlled by the continuous spectrum. Also the non-normalizable invariant measure in the non-stationary regime is shown to determine the strength of the power-law decay.     

Quantum Isometries and Noncommutative Spheres

We introduce and study two new examples of noncommutative spheres: the half-liberated sphere, and the free sphere. Together with the usual sphere, these two spheres have the property that the corresponding quantum isometry group is “easy”, in the representation theory sense. We present as well some general comments on the axiomatization problem, and on the “untwisted” and “non-easy” case.     

Stochastic Isometries in Quantum Mechanics

The class of stochastic maps, that is, linear, trace-preserving, positive maps between the self-adjoint trace class operators of complex separable Hilbert spaces plays an important role in the representation of reversible dynamics and symmetry transformations. Here a characterization of the isometric stochastic maps is given and possible physical applications are indicated.     

Ergodic Properties of Random Billiards Driven by Thermostats

We consider a class of mechanical particle systems interacting with thermostats. Particles move freely between collisions with disk-shaped thermostats arranged periodically on the torus. Upon collision, an energy exchange occurs, in which a particle exchanges its tangential component of the velocity for a randomly drawn one from the Gaussian distribution with the variance proportional to the temperature of the thermostat. In the case when all temperatures are equal one can write an explicit formula for the stationary distribution. We consider the general case and show that there exists a unique absolutely continuous stationary distribution. Moreover under rather mild conditions on the initial distribution the corresponding Markov dynamics converges to the equilibrium with exponential rate. One of the main technical difficulties is related to a possible overheating of moving particle. However as we show in the paper non-compactness of the particle velocity can be effectively controlled.     

More about Operators Generated by Partial Isometries

It has been suggested by several authors [1, 2] that quantum mechanical canonical transformations may be generalized by admitting partially isometric operators instead of unitary transformations used so far [3, 4]. It is known that it is possible to transform a Heisenberg couple into a corresponding one in a different Hilbert space. We shall show that the operators Q = VqV⁺ and P = VpV⁺ obtained in this way — which are unitarily equivalent to EqE and EpE, respectively, in the initial domain M of V onto which E projects — though symmetric in general will not be selfadjoint, and also present an example of this. Although it does not seem to be possible to settle the question of the existence of self-adjoint extensions definitely in the general case, the example of operators generated from the Schrödinger couple q and p shows the existence of such extensions having the spectrum of angle and z-component of angular momentum. Transducing the argument further we shall show that by choosing a different subspace N ? M ?? H it is well possible to generate the action and phase operator of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator with the correct spectrum.     

Uniqueness of Operators Generated by Partial Isometries

The pair of operators P = VpV+ and Q = VqV+ where p and q are momentum and position and V is a partial isometry if of Hilbert space is shown to be essentially unique and unitarily equivalent to angular momentum L₃ and angle φ.

Auto-correlation Properties of Scattering Light in Ultrasound-modulated Random Media

In this paper, the auto-correlation properties of scattering light in random media modulated by ultrasound were studied. The expression of temporal auto-correlation function of scattering light amplitude in the ultrasound-modulated media was presented. The results show that the auto-correlation function is modulated as the ultrasound is introduced into the media and the modulation amplitude decays with correlation time. The influences of ultrasound amplitude, Brownian diffusion coefficient, scattering and absorption coefficients on auto-correlation function were discussed. The auto-correlation imaging of an object hidden in random media was also studied by the use of Monte Carlo simulations.     

Comment on: Curious Properties of Simple Random Walks

Scaling Properties of the Number of Random Sequential Adsorption Iterations Needed to Generate Saturated Random Packing

The properties of the number of iterations in random sequential adsorption protocol needed to generate finite saturated random packing of spherically symmetric shapes were studied. Numerical results obtained for one, two, and three dimensional packings were supported by analytical calculations valid for any dimension d. It has been shown that the number of iterations needed to generate finite saturated packing is subject to Pareto distribution with exponent \(-1-1/d\) and the median of this distribution scales with packing size according to the power-law characterized by exponent d. Obtained results can be used in designing effective random sequential adsorption simulations.     

Recurrence Properties of a Special Type of Heavy-Tailed Random Walk

In the proof of the invariance principle for locally perturbed periodic Lorentz process with finite horizon, a lot of delicate results were needed concerning the recurrence properties of its unperturbed version. These were analogous to the similar properties of Simple Symmetric Random Walk. However, in the case of Lorentz process with infinite horizon, the analogous results for the corresponding random walk are not known, either. In this paper, these properties are ascertained for the appropriate random walk (this happens to be in the non normal domain of attraction of the normal law). As a tool, an estimation of the remainder term in the local limit theorem for the corresponding random walk is computed.     

Noether Symmetries Versus Killing Vectors and Isometries of Spacetimes

Symmetries of spacetime manifolds which are given by Killing vectors are compared with the symmetries of the Lagrangians of the respective spacetimes. We find the point generators of the one parameter Lie groups of transformations that leave invariant the action integral corresponding to the Lagrangian (Noether symmetries). In the examples considered, it is shown that the Noether symmetries obtained by considering the Larangians provide additional symmetries which are not provided by the Killing vectors. It is conjectured that these symmetries would always provide a larger Lie algebra of which the KV symmetres will form a subalgebra. PACS: 04.25.-g, 02.20.Sv, 11.30.-j     

Scaling Properties of Field-Induced Superdiffusion in Continuous Time Random Walks

We consider a broad class of Continuous Time Random Walks (CTRW) with large fluctuations effects in space and time distributions: a random walk with trapping, describing subdiffusion in disordered and glassy materials, and a Lévy walk process, often used to model superdiffusive effects in inhomogeneous materials. We derive the scaling form of the probability distributions and the asymptotic properties of all its moments in the presence of a field by two powerful techniques, based on matching conditions and on the estimate of the contribution of rare events to power-law tails in a field.

Quantum Group of Isometries in Classical and Noncommutative Geometry

We formulate a quantum generalization of the notion of the group of Riemannian isometries for a compact Riemannian manifold, by introducing a natural notion of smooth and isometric action by a compact quantum group on a classical or noncommutative manifold described by spectral triples, and then proving the existence of a universal object (called the quantum isometry group) in the category of compact quantum groups acting smoothly and isometrically on a given (possibly noncommutative) manifold satisfying certain regularity assumptions. The idea of ‘quantum families’ (due to Woronowicz and Soltan) are relevant to our construction. A number of explicit examples are given and possible applications of our results to the problem of constructing quantum group equivariant spectral triples are discussed.

Piecewise smooth phase reconstruction

A well-founded and computationally fast method is presented for filtering and interpolating noisy and discontinuous wrapped phase fields that preserves both the 2pi discontinuities that come from the wrapping effect and the true discontinuities that may be present. It also permits the incorporation of an associated quality map, if it is available, in a natural way. Examples of its application to the computation of the isoclinic phase from photoelastic data and to the recovery of discontinuous phase fields from speckle interferometry are presented.
