Absence of symmetry breaking for systems of rotors with random interactions

We prove that Gibbs states for the Hamiltonian , with thes _x varying on theN-dimensional unit sphere, obtained with nonrandom boundary conditions (in a suitable sense), are almost surely rotationally invariant if withJ _xy i.i.d. bounded random variables with zero average, 1 in one dimension, and 2 in two dimensions.     

A Ruelle operator for a real Julia set

LetR be an expanding rational function with a real bounded Julia set, and let be a Ruelle operator acting in a space of functions analytic in a neighbourhood of the Julia set. We obtain explicit expressions for the resolvent function and, in particular, for the Fredholm determinantD()=det(I-L). It gives us an equation for calculating the escape rate. We relate our results to orthogonal polynomials with respect to the balanced measure ofR. Two examples are considered.The first named author was sponsored in part by the Landau Center for Research in Mathematical Analysis, supported by the Minerva Foundation (Germany)

Distribution of roots of random real generalized polynomials

The average density of zeros for monic generalized polynomials, , with real holomorphic ,f _k and real Gaussian coefficients is expressed in terms of correlation functions of the values of the polynomial and its derivative. We obtain compact expressions for both the regular component (generated by the complex roots) and the singular one (real roots) of the average density of roots. The density of the regular component goes to zero in the vicinity of the real axis like |lmz|. We present the low- and high-disorder asymptotic behaviors. Then we particularize to the large-n limit of the average density of complex roots of monic algebraic polynomials of the form with real independent, identically distributed Gaussian coefficients having zero mean and dispersion . The average density tends to a simple,universal function of =2nlog|z| and in the domain coth(/2)n|sin arg(z)|, where nearly all the roots are located for largen.     

Poincaré-Invariant Markov Processes and Gaussian Random Fields on Relativistic Phase Space

We give a complete characterization, including a Lévy–Itô decomposition, of Poincaré-invariant Markov processes on , the relativistic phase space in 1+1 spacetime dimensions.

Logarithmic Sobolev inequality for lattice gases with mixing conditions

Let denote the grand canonical Gibbs measure of a lattice gas in a cube of sizeL with the chemical potential and a fixed boundary condition. Let be the corresponding canonical measure defined by conditioning on . Consider the lattice gas dynamics for which each particle performs random walk with rates depending on near-by particles. The rates are chosen such that, for everyn andL fixed, is a reversible measure. Suppose that the Dobrushin-Shlosman mixing conditions holds for forall chemical potentials . We prove that for any probability densityf with respect to ; here the constant is independent ofn orL andD denotes the Dirichlet form of the dynamics.

Scaling characteristics of ac conductivity and dielectric function in fractal regime of the metal-insulator transition

An analysis of the ac conductivity _ac(), and the ac dielectric constant, (), of the metal-insulator percolation systems is presented in the critical regime near the transition threshold. It is argued that the polarization and relaxation of the finite fractal metallic clusters play dominant roles in controlling the dynamic response of the system on both sides of the threshold. The relaxation time constant of a fractal cluster is shown to scale with its size as withd _t = 4 – 2d +d _c + /, whered is tge Euclidean dimension, andd _c , , and are the scaling indices for the charging, the dc conductivity, and the correlation length respectively. The average time dependent response of the system is shown to scale with a new time scale , where is the correlation length and ₀ is a microscopic time constant. It is shown that at frequencies and with /d_t 1, in close agreement with experiments. The effects of the anomalous transport along the infinite cluster and the medium polarizability are also discussed.

Minimal supersymmetric standard model with the gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking and the neutrinoless double-beta decay

Neutrinoless double-beta decay within Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking is considered. Limits on R-parity breaking constant coming from non-observability of 0 in ⁷⁶Ge are found. The dependence of on different parameters at the messenger scale M are shown, with special attention paid to nuclear part of calculations. We have found that strongly depends on the effective supersymmetry breaking scale only and deduced limits imposed on this non-standard parameter by the germanium experiment.     

Microscopic selection principle for a diffusion-reaction equation

We consider a model of stochastically interacting particles on , where each site is assumed to be empty or occupied by at most one particle. Particles jump to each empty neighboring site with rate/2 and also create new particles with rate 1/2 at these sites. We show that as seen from the rightmost particle, this process has precisely one invariant distribution. The average velocity of this particle V() then satisfies ^–1/2V() as. This limit corresponds to that of the macroscopic density obtained by rescaling lengths by a factor ^1/2 and letting. This density solves the reaction-diffusion equation , and under Heaviside initial data converges to a traveling wave moving at the same rate .     

Classification of three-dimensional covariant differential calculi on Podles' quantum spheres and on related spaces

Covariant differential calculi on the quantum space for the quantum group SL _q (2) are classified. Our main assumptions are thatq is not a root of unity and that the differentials de _j of the generators of form a free right module basis for the first-order forms. Our result says, in particular, that apart from the two casesc =c(3), there exists a unique differential calculus with the above properties on the space which corresponds to Podles' quantum sphereS _qc ^/2 .

On the positivity of the effective action in a theory of random surfaces

It is shown that the functional , defined onC functions on the two-dimensional sphere, satisfies the inequalityS[]0 if is subject to the constraint . The minimumS[]=0 is attained at the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations. The proof is based on a sharper version of Moser-Trudinger's inequality (due to Aubin) which holds under the additional constraint ; this condition can always be satisfied by exploiting the invariance ofS[] under the conformal transformations ofS ². The result is relevant for a recently proposed formulation of a theory of random surfaces.On leave from: Istituto di Fisica dell'Università di Parma, Sezione di Fisica Teorica, Parma, Italy

We study the spectrum of random Schrödinger operators acting onL ²(R ^d ) of the following type . The are i.i.d. random variables. Under weak assumptions onV, we prove exponential localization forH at the lower edge of its spectrum. In order to do this, we give a new proof of the Wegner estimate that works without sign assumptions onV.

Sous de faibles hypothèses surV, nous démontrons que le bord inférieur du spectre deH n'est composé que de spectre purement ponctuel et, que les fonctions propres associées sont exponentiellement décroissantes. Pour ce faire nous donnons une nouvelle preuve de l'estimée de Wegner valable sans hypothèses de signe surV.

Modified Weyl theory and extended elementary objects

To represent extension of objects in particle physics, a modified Weyl theory is used by gauging the curvature radius of the local fibers in a soldered bundle over space-time possessing a homogeneous space G/H of the (4, 1)-de Sitter group G as fiber. Objects with extension determined by a fundamental length parameter R₀ appear as islands D_(i) in space-time characterized by a geometry of the Cartan-Weyl type (i.e., involving torsion and modified Weyl degrees of freedom). Farther away from the domains D_(i), space-time is identified with the pseudo-Riemannian space of general relativity. Extension and symmetry breaking are described by a set of additional fields ( , given as a section on an associated bundle over space-time B with structural group = G D(1), where D(1) is the dilation group. Field equations for the quantities defining the underlying bundle geometry and for the fields are established involving matter source currents derived from a generalized spinor wave function. Einstein's equations for the metric are regarded as the part of the -gauge theory related to the Lorentz subgroup H of G exhibiting thereby the broken nature of the -symmetry for regions outside the domains D_(i).Talk presented at the International Conference on Field Theory and General Relativity held at Utah State University, Logan, Utah, June 26–July 2, 1988.

A class of distributions and interactionsJ _ij , which give rise to phase diagrams called typical is selected. Then a problem of obtaining typical phase diagrams, containing a certain region with an infinite number of pure phases, is studied.
