A transformational property of the Husimi function and its relation to the wigner function and symplectic tomograms

We consider the Husimi Q-functions, which are quantum quasiprobability distributions in the phase space, and investigate their transformation properties under a scale transformation (q, p) → (λq, λp). We prove a theorem that under this transformation, the Husimi function of a physical state is transformed into a function that is also a Husimi function of some physical state. Therefore, the scale transformation defines a positive map of density operators. We investigate the relation of Husimi functions to Wigner functions and symplectic tomograms and establish how they transform under the scale transformation. As an example, we consider the harmonic oscillator and show how its states transform under the scale transformation.     

Unnormalized Tomograms and Quasidistributions of Quantum States

We consider tomograms and quasidistributions, such as the Wigner functions, the Glauber–Sudarshan P-functions, and the Husimi Q-functions, that violate the standard normalization condition for probability distribution functions. We introduce special conditions for theWigner function to determine the tomogram with the Radon transform and study three different examples of states like the de Broglie plane wave, the Moshinsky shutter problem, and the stationary state of a charged particle in a uniform constant electric field. We show that their tomograms and quasidistribution functions expressed in terms of the Dirac delta function, the Airy function, and Fresnel integrals violate the standard normalization condition and the density matrix of the state therefore cannot always be reconstructed. We propose a method that allows circumventing this problem using a special tomogram in the limit form.     

Maslov Complex Germ Method for Systems with First-Class Constraints

We develop the semiclassical mechanics of systems with first-class constraints. A convenient quantization method is the method based on modifying the inner product used in the theory. We consider semiclassical states of the wave-packet type (with small indeterminacies in both coordinates and momenta) that appear in the theory of the Maslov complex germ at a point. We show that these states have a nonzero norm only if the classical coordinates and momenta lie on the constraint surface. The set of semiclassical states of the wave-packet type forms a (semiclassical) bundle whose base is the set of admissible classical states and whose fibers are function spaces determining the form of the wave packet. In some cases, the difference between two semiclassical states has a zero norm; it is therefore possible to introduce the gauge equivalence relation. The semiclassical gauge transformations that are automorphisms of the semiclassical bundle form a Batalin quasigroup. We also study the action of semiclassical observables and of semiclassical evolution transformations. We show that they preserve the norm and the gauge equivalence relation and that the observables coinciding on the constraint surface act on semiclassical states similarly up to the gauge invariance.     

Cellules quantiques symplectiques et fonctions de Husimi-Wigner

We propose a definition of quantum cells which is invariant under symplectic transformations. We use this notion to the study of positivity properties of the Wigner and Husimi functions, which allows us to precise and to improve known results.     

On the representation by linear superpositions

In a number of papers, Y. Sternfeld investigated the problems of representation of continuous and bounded functions by linear superpositions. In particular, he proved that if such representation holds for continuous functions, then it holds for bounded functions. We consider the same problem without involving any topology and establish a rather practical necessary and sufficient condition for representability of an arbitrary function by linear superpositions. In particular, we show that if some representation by linear superpositions holds for continuous functions, then it holds for all functions. This will lead us to the analogue of the well-known Kolmogorov superposition theorem for multivariate functions on the d-dimensional unit cube.     

On Dynamical Properties of a One-Parameter Family of Transformations Arising in Averaging of Semigroups

To describe the dynamics of quantum systems with degenerate symmetric but not self-adjoint Hamiltonian, we consider the Naimark extension of the Hamiltonian to a self-adjoint operator in an extended Hilbert space. We relate to the symmetric Hamiltonian a one-parameter family of averaged dynamical transformations of the set of quantum states obtained from a unitary group of transformations of the extended Hilbert space by using a conditional expected value to an algebra of bounded operators acting in the original space. We establish the absence of the semigroup property and injectivity of the family of averaged dynamical transformations. We obtain a representation of trajectories of the averaged family of dynamical transformations by maximum points of functionals on the space of mappings of the time interval into the set of quantum states.     

Spaces of Quasi-Periodic Functions and Oscillations in Differential Equations

We build spaces of q.p. (quasi-periodic) functions and we establish some of their properties. They are motivated by the Percival approach to q.p. solutions of Hamiltonian systems. The periodic solutions of an adequatez partial differential equation are related to the q.p. solutions of an ordinary differential equation. We use this approach to obtain some regularization theorems of weak q.p. solutions of differential equations. For a large class of differential equations, the first theorem gives a result of density: a particular form of perturbated equations have strong solutions. The second theorem gives a condition which ensures that any essentially bounded weak solution is a strong one.     

Generalized synchronization of strictly different systems: Partial-state synchrony

Generalized synchronization (GS) occurs when the states of one system, through a functional mapping are equal to states of another. Since for many physical systems only some state variables are observable, it seems convenient to extend the theoretical framework of synchronization to consider such situations. In this contribution, we investigate two variants of GS which appear between strictly different chaotic systems. We consider that for both the drive and response systems only one observable is available. For the case when both systems can be taken to a complete triangular form, a GS can be achieved where the functional mapping between drive and response is found directly from their Lie-algebra based transformations. Then, for systems that have dynamics associated to uncontrolled and unobservable states, called internal dynamics, where only a partial triangular form is possible via coordinate transformations, for this situation, a GS is achieved for which the coordinate transformations describe the functional mapping of only a few state variables. As such, we propose definitions for complete and partial-state GS. These particular forms of GS are illustrated with numerical simulations of well-known chaotic benchmark systems.     

Superposition operators between the Bloch space and Bergman spaces

Using a geometric method, we characterize all entire functions that transform the Bloch space into a Bergman space by superposition in terms of their order and type. We also prove that all superposition operators induced by such entire functions act boundedly. Similar results hold for superpositions from BMOA into Bergman spaces and from the Bloch space into certain weighted Hardy spaces.     

The BRST-BV approach to massless fields adapted for the AdS/CFT correspondence

In the framework of the BRST-BV approach to the formulation of relativistic mechanics, we consider massless and massive fields of arbitrary spin propagating in a flat space and massless fields propagating in the AdS space. For such fields, we obtain BRST-BV Lagrangians invariant under gauge transformations. The Lagrangians and gauge transformations are constructed in terms of traceless gauge fields and traceless parameters of the gauge transformations. We consider the fields in the AdS space using the Poincaré parameterization of this space, which leads to a simple form of the BRST-BV Lagrangian. We show that in the Siegel gauge, the Lagrangian of the massless AdS fields leads to a decoupling of the equations of motion, and this substantially simplifies the study of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In a conformal algebra basis, we find a realization of the relativistic symmetries of fields and antifields in the AdS space.     

Hypercyclic convolution operators on Fréchet spaces of analytic functions

A result of Godefroy and Shapiro states that the convolution operators on the space of entire functions on Cn, which are not multiples of identity, are hypercyclic. Analogues of this result have appeared for some spaces of holomorphic functions on a Banach space. In this work, we define the space holomorphic functions associated to a sequence of spaces of polynomials and determine conditions on this sequence that assure hypercyclicity of convolution operators. Some known results come out as particular cases of this setting. We also consider holomorphic functions associated to minimal ideals of polynomials and to polynomials of the Schatten-von Neumann class.     

The AKNS Hierarchy and Finite-Gap Schrödinger Potentials

We consider the AKNS hierarchy and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for functions p and q to become solutions of the AKNS hierarchy. Using the functions p and q, we construct finite-gap Schrödinger potentials.     

Multidimensional exact solutions to a quasilinear parabolic equation with anisotropic heat conductivity

We prove invariance of a quasilinear parabolic equation with anisotropic heat conductivity in the three-dimensional coordinate space under some equivalence transformations and present some explicit formulas for these transformations. We consider nontrivial reductions of the equation to similar equations of less spatial dimension. Using these results, we construct new exact multidimensional solutions to the equation which depend on arbitrary harmonic functions.     

GABOR ANALYSIS OF THE SPACES M（p,q,w）（R~d） AND S（p,q,r,w,ω）（R~d）

Let g be a non-zero rapidly decreasing function and w be a weight function. In this article in analog to modulation space, we define the space M(p, q, w)(Rd) to be the subspace of tempered distributions f ∈ S′(Rd) such that the Gabor transform Vg(f) of f is in the weighted Lorentz space L(p, q, wdμ) (R2d). We endow this space with a suitable norm and show that it becomes a Banach space and invariant under time frequence shifts for 1 ≤ p, q ≤∞. We also investigate the embeddings between these spaces and the dual space of M(p, q, w)(Rd). Later we define the space S(p, q, r, w, ω)(Rd) for 1 < p < ∞, 1 ≤ q ≤∞. We endow it with a sum norm and show that it becomes a Banach convolution algebra. We also discuss some properties of S(p, q, r, w, ω)(Rd). At the end of this article, we characterize the multipliers of the spaces M(p, q, w)(Rd) and S(p, q, r, w, ω)(Rd).     

Primes in arithmetic progressions with friable indices

We consider the numberπ(x,y;q,a)of primes p≤such that p≡a(mod q)and(p-a)/q is free of prime factors greater than y.Assuming a suitable form of Elliott-Halberstam conjecture,it is proved thatπ(x,y:q,a)is asymptotic to p(log(x/q)/log y)π(x)/φ(q)on average,subject to certain ranges of y and q,where p is the Dickman function.Moreover,unconditional upper bounds are also obtained via sieve methods.As a typical application,we may control more effectively the number of shifted primes with large prime factors.     

Generalization bounds for function approximation from scattered noisy data

We consider the problem of approximating functions from scattered data using linear superpositions of non-linearly parameterized functions. We show how the total error (generalization error) can be decomposed into two parts: an approximation part that is due to the finite number of parameters of the approximation scheme used; and an estimation part that is due to the finite number of data available. We bound each of these two parts under certain assumptions and prove a general bound for a class of approximation schemes that include radial basis functions and multilayer perceptrons. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Symmetry in c, d, n of Jacobian elliptic functions

The relation connecting the symmetric elliptic integral RF with the Jacobian elliptic functions is symmetric in the first three of the four letters c, d, n, and s that are used in ordered pairs to name the 12 functions. A symbol Δ(p,q)=ps²(u,k)−qs²(u,k), p,q∈{c,d,n}, is independent of u and allows formulas for differentiation, bisection, duplication, and addition to remain valid when c, d, and n are permuted. The five transformations of first order, which change the argument and modulus of the functions, take a unified form in which they correspond to the five nontrivial permutations of c, d, and n. There are 18 transformations of second order (including Landen's and Gauss's transformations) comprising three sets of six. The sets are related by permutations of the original functions cs, ds, and ns, and there are only three sets because each set is symmetric in two of these. The six second-order transformations in each set are related by first-order transformations of the transformed functions, and all 18 take a unified form. All results are derived from properties of RF without invoking Weierstrass functions or theta functions.     

Cores of Second Order Differential Linear Operators with Unbounded Coefficients on ℝN

We consider the problem of the existence of bi-cores for some classes of second order elliptic differential operators with unbounded coefficients generating bi-continuous semigroups on the space of bounded continuous functions on ^N.     

Completely integrable one-dimensional classical and relativistic time-dependent Hamiltonians

In this paper, we look for first integralsI(q;p;t) of time-dependent one-dimensional HamiltoniansH(q;p;t). We first present a formalism based on the use of canonical transformations, and it is seen thatI(q;p;t) can always be written in terms of two variablesI=P(u;v), whereu andv are functions ofq, p andt, without loss of generality. Moreover, it is shown that any Hamiltonian with first integralI(q;p;t) can be made autonomous in the space (u, v, T), whereT is a new time. On the other hand, the cases of a particle moving classically and relativistically in a time-dependent potentialV(q;t) are studied. In both cases, completely integrable potentials, together with the corresponding first integrals, are derived.CEA/CEV-M, BP7, 77181 Country, France, and CEA/CEN-S, SPEC, 91191, Gif sur Yvette Cédex, France.
