Inequalities for the Schattenp-norm. III

We present some inequalities for the Schattenp-norm of operators on a Hilbert space. It is shown, among other things, that ifA is an operator such that ReAa0, then for any operatorX, AX+XA* _p 2aX _p . Also, for any two operatorsA andB, A–B ₂ ² +A*B* ₂ ² 2A–B ₂ ² .     

Perturbations of flows on Banach spaces and operator algebras

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference _t – ' _t are reflected in relations between the generators , . Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if _t – '_t 0.28 for smallt, then = 0(+)°^-1 where is an inner automorphism ofM and is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference _t – ' _t =O(t) ast ; 0, then = + and if _t – ' _t 0.28 for allt then =. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC ₀,C ₀ ^* groups on a Banach space.This paper subsumes an earlier work of the same title which appeared as a report from Z.I.F. der Universität BielefeldWith partial support of the U.S. National Science Foundation     

Diffusion in a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles

We simulate the classical diffusion of a particle of massM in an infinite one-dimensional system of hard point particles of massm in equilibrium. Each computer run corresponds to about 10⁸ collisions of the diffusive particle. We find that (t) 1/t fort large enough, and a crossover from an M m regime where=2 to=3 forM=m. The diffusion constant has a sharp maximum atM=m. We study moments x(t)² and x(t)⁴, and examine the behavior ofq ² (t)=x(t)⁴/3x(t)²². We find thatq(t)1 (consistent with a normal distribution) in theM limit (for all timest) and in the t limit for allM.

Surviving extrema for the action on the twisted SU(∞) one point lattice

We give a simplified construction of twist eating configurations, based on a theorem due to Frobenius. These configurations are defined through the equation:U U U ⁺ U ⁺ =exp(2in /N) withU SU(N), =1 tod andn an antisymmetric matrix with integer entries. In the (Twisted)-Eguchi-Kawai model they yield extrema some of which survive forN. Comparison is made with the Monte Carlo data of the internal energy in the small coupling region.     

Compressible Flow: Turbulence at the Surface

In a study of compressible flow, we have tracked the motion of particles that float on a turbulent body of water. The second moment of longitudinal velocity differences scales as in incompressible flow. However the separation R ²(t) of particle pairs does not vary in time according to the Richardson–Kolmogorov prediction R ²(t)t ³. As expected, the self diffusion d ²(t) shows a crossover between ballistic motion d ²(t)t ² at small t and uncorrelated motion d ²(t)t in the longtime limit.     

Correlated majority model

We extend the bichromatic majority model by including (one-dimensional isotropic) correlations and numerically discuss, through Monte Carlo simulations, the simple, 1/3, and 2/3 majority rules. We calculate, as functions of the concentration and correlation degree, the mean finite cluster size, and the order parameterm as well as their respective critical exponents and. We find1 regardless of the correlation degree or the type of majority. Also, a supplementary divergence of is observed at the>0 borderline.     

Mikrophy'sikalische Vorgänge,die die Entstehung der Schnellen Schichtungswellen in der Neonglimmentladung bedingen

Zusammenfassung Im nachstehenden Artikel werden mikrophysikalische Vorgänge behandelt, die das Auftreten schneller Schichtungswellen in Neonglimmentladungen veranlassen können. Es werden sowohl die qualitativen Abhängigkeiten, als auch die ziffernmäigen Werte der Parameter der Schichtungswellen mit den charakteristischen Gröenwerten der in diesem Entladungstypus vor sich gehenden Vorgänge verglichen. Auf Grund der vorgenommenen Vergleiche kann gesagt werden, da die Relaxationszeiten der schnellen Wellen durch die Diffusionslebensdauer der atomaren, bzw. molekularen Ionen gegeben sind.

Fluctuating hydrodynamics and principal oscillation pattern analysis

Principal oscillation pattern (POP) analysis was recently introduced into climatology to analyze multivariate time series x_i(t) produced by systems whose dynamics are described by a linear Markov process x=Bx + . The matrixB gives the deterministic feedback and is a white noise vector with covariances (t) _j (t*Q _ij (t–t. The POP method is applied to data from a direct simulation Monte Carlo program. The system is a dilute gas with 50,000 particles in a Rayleigh-Bénard configuration. The POP analysis correctly reproduces the linearized Navier-Stokes equations (in the matrixB) and the stochastic fluxes (in the matrixQ) as given by Landau-Lifschitz fluctuating hydrodynamics. Using this method, we find the Landau-Lifschitz theory to be valid both in equilibrium and near the critical point of Rayleigh-Bénard convection.     

Norm inequalities for fractional powers of positive operators

It is shown that ifA, B andX are operators on a Hilbert space such thatA andB are positive andX belongs to a norm ideal associated with some unitarily invariant norm |·|, then for 0 r 1 we have |A ^r XB ^r | |X|^1-r |AXB| ^r . This is an extension of the classical Heinz-Kato inequality which was originally proved for the usual operator norm. Other related inequalities are also discussed.     

Poincaré Algebra and Space-Time Critical Dimensions for Paraspinnings Strings

In this paper, we paraquantize the spinning string theory in the Neveu-Shwarz model. Unlike the Ardalan and Mansouri work [Phys. Rev. D, Vol. 9, (1974) 3341], the paraquantum system is such that both the center of mass variables and the excitation modes of the string verify paracommutation relations. The commutators of the Poincaré algebra are satisfied, except the [p ,p ] one, since one can only write [p ,p ]= 0, for Q1. Because of the relation [x ,x ] =,0 and with the sole use of the trilinear relations, we find existence possibilities of spinning strings defined in a noncommutative space-time at space-time dimensions other than D=10.     

The vacuum and lightcone quantization of interaction Hamiltonians

Let denote the conformally invariant neutral free scalar field on ×S ⁿ. The naive lightcone Hamiltonian for a ^p interaction is given by c^p, where C denotes a lightcone in ×S ⁿ, and the Wick power is relative to the free vacuum. We show that this sesquilinear form annihilates the free vacuum if n3 is odd, p>2, and p(n–1)0 mod 4.     

Cyclotron instabilities of a two-component electron plasma

A study is made of instability at frequencies close to the electron cyclotron frequency _B and its multiples, subject to the presence of two different groups of electrons. It is shown that a mixture of hot and cold electrons ( _ph ² _pc ² ) in the region of frequencies s _B, s2 can be unstable with respect to waves of the flute type (k _z=0) with maximum increment _max ( _ph/_pc). _B, if there exists an interval of transversal velocities in whichF/ >0. When the curvature of the magnetic field is taken into account, even waves with _B can be unstable in such a plasma. The effect of spatial inhomogeneity of the hot component on flute-type instability and on two-beam cyclotron instability is also examined.The author extends his thanks to A. B.

The surfboard Schrödinger equations

We study the large time behavior of solutions of time dependent Schrödinger equationsiu/t=–(1/2)u+t V(x/t)u with bounded potentialV(x). We show that (1) if>–1, all solutions are asymptotically free ast, (2) if–1 a solution becomes asymptotically free if and only if it has the momentum support outside of suppV for large time, (3) if –1 <0 all solutions are still asymptotically modified free ast and that (4) if 0 <2, for each local minimumx ₀ ofV(x), there exist solutions which are asymptotically Gaussians centered atx=tx ₀ and spreading slowly ast.     

The hydrodynamic limit of a one-dimensional nearest neighbor gradient system

We study the hydrodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional nearest neighbor gradient system with respect to a positive convex potential . In the hydrodynamic limit the density distribution is shown to evolve according to the nonlinear diffusion equation ,(q)/t= (²/dq²){F([1/₁(q)]), with F= –.     

Interacting spinor and scalar fields: Exact self-consistent solutions in Bianci I space

Exact self-consistent solutions of the equations that describe a system of interacting spinor and massless scalar fields with the interaction Lagrangian L_int=_,^,(S), where (S) is an arbitrary function of the invariant S=, are obtained in Bianci I space. The possibility of excluding the initial singularity is studied for the case of a power-law function (S), and isotropic expansion of the space as t is established.Russian University of International Amity.

Three-Mode Entangled State Representation of Continuum Variables and Optical Four-Wave Mixing

We establish a new three-mode entangled state representation , of continuum variables, which make up a complete set. Using optical four-wave mixing and a beam splitter transform we can prepare , . Based on , a new number-difference--operational-phase uncertainty relation is established and the corresponding squeezing dynamics is discussed.     

The one dimensional anderson model with off diagonal disorder: band centre anomaly

We study theE-dependence of the Lyapounov exponent <(E)> of an electron with energyE in the one dimensional Anderson model with off diagonal disorder. In the neighbourhood of the band centre we find for nonzero disorder E)>log^–1 E0 forE0, but all even moments of Re(E) diverge logarithmically. As the probability of Re (E)=0 decreases to zero forE0 we conclude that the electron is always exponentially localised.     

Convergence of Chorin-Marsden product formula in the half-plane

Consider a viscous incompressible fluid in the half-plane and letu _t be a solution of the Navier-Stokes equation. In this paper we prove that the product formula (E _t/n G _t/n u) ⁿ u ₀, whereE _t is the Euler flow,G _t is the heat flow and is a suitable operator describing the vorticity production due to the boundary, converges uniformly tou _t in the limitn .Research supported by Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, CNR contract No. 84.00016.02 and GNFM     

Fractional noise

Fractional noiseN(t),t 0, is a stochastic process for every , and is defined as the fractional derivative or fractional integral of white noise. For = 1 we recover Brownian motion and for = 1/2 we findf ^–1-noise. For 1/2 1, a superposition of fractional noise is related to the fractional diffusion equation.     

Upper bounds for the energy expectation in time-dependent quantum mechanics

We consider quantum systems driven by Hamiltonians of the formH+W(t), where the spectrum ofH consists of an infinite set of bands andW(t) depends arbitrarily on time. Let H (t) denote the expectation value ofH with respect to the evolution at timet of an initial state . We prove upper bounds of the type H (t)=O(t ), >0, under conditions on the strength ofW(t) with respect toH. Neither growth of the gaps between the bands nor smoothness ofW(t) is required. Similar estimates are shown for the expectation value of functions ofH. Sufficient conditions to have uniformly bounded expectation values are made explicit and the consequences on other approaches to quantum stability are discussed.
