The Geometric Construction of WZW Effective Action in Noncommutative Manifold

By constructing close-one-cochain density Ω^12n in the gauge group space we get the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) effective Lagrangian on high-dimensional noncommutative space.Especially consistent anomalies derived from this WZW effective action in noncommutative four-dimensional space coincide with those obtained by L.Bonora etc.(het-th/0002210).     

First Eigenvalue of the Dirac Operator for a Kähler Manifold of Even Complex Dimension: The Limiting Case

K. D. Kirchberg has given a minoration of the absolute value of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator for a compact Kähler spin manifold (W,g) with positive scalar curvature and has introduced, in this context, the notion of Kähler twistor-spinor. We prove here that if dim_C W = p 4 is even, in the limiting case, (W, g) is the Kähler product of an odd-dimensional limiting case compact Kähler spin manifold of complex dimension (p-1), by a flat Kähler manifold which is a compact quotient of C.

Global Properties of Gravitational Lens Maps¶in a Lorentzian Manifold Setting

In a general-relativistic spacetime (Lorentzian manifold), gravitational lensing can be characterized by a lens map, in analogy to the lens map of the quasi-Newtonian approximation formalism. The lens map is defined on the celestial sphere of the observer (or on part of it) and it takes values in a two-dimensional manifold representing a two-parameter family of worldlines. In this article we use methods from differential topology to characterize global properties of the lens map. Among other things, we use the mapping degree (also known as Brouwer degree) of the lens map as a tool for characterizing the number of images in gravitational lensing situations. Finally, we illustrate the general results with gravitational lensing (a) by a static string, (b) by a spherically symmetric body, (c) in asymptotically simple and empty spacetimes, and (d) in weakly perturbed Robertson–Walker spacetimes.

Geometrical Lagrangian for a Supersymmetric Yang–Mills Theory on the Group Manifold

Perhaps one of the main features of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity is that spacetime is not flat itself but curved. Nowadays, however, many of the unifying theories like superstrings on even alternative gravity theories such as teleparalell geometric theories assume flat spacetime for their calculations. This article, an extended account of an earlier author's contribution, it is assumed a curved group manifold as a geometrical background from which a Lagrangian for a supersymmetric N=2, d=5 Yang–Mills – SYM, N=2, d=5 – is built up. The spacetime is a hypersurface embedded in this geometrical scenario, and the geometrical action here obtained can be readily coupled to the five-dimensional supergravity action. The essential idea that underlies this work has its roots in the Einstein–Cartan formulation of gravity and in the group manifold approach to gravity and supergravity theories. The group SYM, N=2, d=5, turns out to be the direct product of supergravity and a general gauge group .

On the interpretation of the results of the experimental test of the Askar’yan effect

The effect of the environment on the results of measuring the radio radiation spectrum is considered in the experimental simulation of the cascade shower by a high-energy γ-ray beam in a dense medium. The calculation shows that the character of the measured energy spectrum depends on the location of the receiving antenna with respect to the shower axis.

Description of the evolution of the state of “josephson atoms” in the context of the informational interpretation of quantum mechanics

The evolution of a quantum system is informationally interpreted and used to describe decay in the coherent states of Josephson atoms, including qubits based on two- and three-junction superconducting quantum interferometers. The reduced Lindblad equation is employed to examine the measurement procedure of the Josephson qubit state and the influence of a measuring device on its coherent-state decay.     

A comparison of the reproducibility of the parameters of the ¹³C-aminopyrine breath test for the assessment of hepatic function

This study determined the within-subject and between-subject variability of different ways of expressing the results of the (13)C-aminopyrine breath test ((13)C-ABT) and the effect of shortening the test duration. The (13)C-ABT was conducted on three separate occasions in 10 healthy volunteers and on a single occasion in 22 patients with established liver cirrhosis. The within-subject variability of cumulative percentage dose recovered (cPDR), using measured CO(2) production rate (VCO(2)), in the reference group over three trials was 15% over 120 min. Higher within-subject variability in cPDR would have been evident if the test was terminated at either 30 or 60 min. Substitution of predicted VCO(2) to calculate cPDR yielded comparable values at all time points. Significant differences between cirrhotics and reference group were evident after just 10 min using PDR/h, cPDR or enrichment (all P<0.05). The ABT demonstrates clinically acceptable reproducibility. Shortening of the duration may make the test more acceptable clinically, but it is associated with increasing imprecision.     

Calculation of the phase diagram of the TiZr alloy and investigation of the tendency toward separation of the ω phase

The electronic, structural, and thermodynamic properties of the TiZr equiatomic alloy have been calculated in terms of the electron density functional theory and Debye-Grüneisen model. The calculated lattice parameters a and c/a agree well with experimental data for the α, ω, and β phases. It has been shown that the ω phase is stable at atmospheric pressure and low temperatures, and it remains energetically more favorable up to T = 600 K. In the temperature range 600 K < T < 900 K, the α phase becomes stable, and above 900 K, the β phase of the TiZr alloy is stable. The phase diagram constructed in this study agrees qualitatively with the available experimental data. A tendency toward separation of the TiZr equiatomic alloy in the ω phase has been analyzed. It has been demonstrated that, in the ground state, the TiZr equiatomic alloy in the ω phase exhibits a tendency toward ordering rather than toward phase separation.     

A Space–Time Integral Estimate For A Large Data Semi-linear Wave Equation on the Schwarzschild Manifold

We consider the wave equation with in . The wave equation on a spherically symmetric manifold with a single closed geodesic surface or on the exterior of the Schwarzschild manifold can be reduced to this form. Using a smoothed Morawetz estimate which does not require a spherical harmonic decomposition, we show that there is decay in for initial data in the energy class, even if the initial data is large. This requires certain conditions on the potentials V, V _L and f. We show that a key condition on the weight in the smoothed Morawetz estimate can be reduced to an ODE condition, which is verified numerically.      

Evaluation of the Intensities of Spectral Lines under the Influence of Interferences and the Determination of Global Maxima of the Mass–Spectrum Peaks

We describe the technique by which the intensity of spectral lines can be evaluated and the global maxima of the mass–spectrum peaks under the influence of pulse interferences can be defined using an experimental setup based on a commercial MX–7304A mass spectrometer, IBM personal computer (PC), and a digital extremum regulator that allows one to ignore local extrema and bring about automatic search for a global maximum of the mass–spectrum peak and its tracking with an accuracy of 0.0012% at a speed of response of 50 kHz, elevated speeds of the scanning of masses 500 amu/sec, and stability of regulation.     

Analysis of the Structure of the Bands in the IR Spectrum of β-D Glucose by the Regularized Method of Deconvolution

Deconvolution of the IR absorption spectrum of -D glucose in the spectral range 1500–450 cm^–1 has been carried out. The results of the deconvolution were compared with the IR and Raman spectra recorded at room and low temperatures and with the data obtained by theoretical calculations for the frequencies of the normal vibrations of the -D glucose molecule in the crystalline state. It is shown that deconvolution of the IR spectra recorded at room temperature makes it possible to separate the bands observed experimentally only at a very low temperature of the sample and a number of components that were not resolved earlier. The number of bands separated on deconvolution of the IR spectra of -D glucose in the spectral range 1500–450 cm^–1 is more than twice the number of visible absorption maxima in the usual spectrum. The results of deconvolution of the IR spectrum of -D glucose are in good agreement with the data of theoretical calculations for the frequencies of the normal vibrations of the -D glucose molecule in the crystalline state. The existence of the factor-group (Davydov) splitting of a number of frequencies of the nondegenerate fundamental vibrations of molecules in a crystal cell has been revealed in the IR spectrum of -D glucose. It was concluded that the model of an isolated molecule is insufficient for detailed theoretical interpretation of the vibrational spectra of carbohydrates.

Then we test the possible linearity ofthe operators so constructed.     

Analysis of the Structure of Thin Films of Zn‐Porphyrins by the Kinetics of the Fluorescence Anisotropy

The structure of thin films of Zntetraoctylphenylporphyrin (ZnTOPP) obtained by the spinning method is investigated. The kinetics of the decay of the fluorescence anisotropy of the films is analyzed in the form of a sum of exponents and by simulating the orientation of ZnTOPP complexes on the substrate (quartz) surface with allowance for the processes of the electron excitation energy transfer. The ZnTOPP films have a lamellar structure where individual layers form ordered domains. Within a domain, linear nonintersecting stacks of molecules are formed. In each stack the planes of the molecules are collinear, oriented perpendicularly to the surface of the substrate base, and form an angle of 45° with the directing axis of a stack.
