State automorphisms in axiomatic quantum mechanics

A new metric which we call the intrinsic metric is introduced on the states of the generalized logic of quantum mechanics. It is shown that every automorphism on is an isometry. A norm can be defined on the linear spanE of which reduces to the intrinsic metric on. IfX is the completion ofE then every automorphism, on has a unique extension to a linear isometry onX. A comparison is made between these results and those of Kroniff.     

Globally noncausal space-times. II. Naked singularities and curvature conditions

In this paper we prove that if there is a naked singularity, then there will be some null geodesic, reaching ⁺ from the singularity, which does not satisfy the strong curvature condition regardless of whether causality is violated or not. Assuming that a naked singularity is a strong curvature singularity only sufficiently far to the future, we prove that strong causality is violated arbitrarily close to ⁺.Work partially supported by the Nuffield Foundation and by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche of Italy under contract N.CT 81.00532.02.     

Almost periodic Jacobi matrices associated with Julia sets for polynomials

Let be the Jacobi matrix associated with polynomialT(z) of degreeN2. The spectrum of is the Julia set associated withT(z) which in many cases is a Cantor set. Let ⁽¹⁾ denote the result of omitting the first row and column ofJ. Then it is shown that the spectrum of ⁽¹⁾ may be purely discrete.It is also shown that forT(z)= ^NC_N(z/) for > , whereC _N is a Chebychev polynomial the coefficients of and ⁽¹⁾ are limit periodic extending the work of Bellissard, Bessis, and Moussa (Phys.

Generating fields from data onH − ⋃H +andH − ⋃I +

There are series solutions for characteristic boundary value problems for fields on black hole backgrounds that converge when the data are given on =^{– +}, or on =^{– +}, but may not converge when the data are given on ^{– –}, or on ^{+ +}. We specialize to oscillatory data of frequency and calculate approximate reflection and transmission coefficientsR() andT(), using a field generated by data on =^{– +}, and again, using a field generated by data on ^{– –}. The first calculation gives qualitatively good results at all frequencies at each order of approximation, and quantitatively better results at higher orders of approximation; the second calculation, using the series which may not converge, gives bad results except at very high frequencies. Thus for the physically unnatural case of a field that vanishes on ^– and goes toe ^iv on ⁺ we have a series that is convergent, and uniformly so with respect to frequency, while for the natural case of a field that vanishes on ^– and goes toe ^iv on ^– we are limited to high frequencies. It is argued that a frequency-dependent renormalization of a series of the first type provides an approximation scheme that is convergent, and uniformly so with respect to frequency, for the physically important problems of the second type. The difficulties posed by the -dependent renormalization for the study of incident pulses are discussed.     

Energy and momentum in general relativity

In general relativity, conservation of energy and momentum is expressed by an equation of the form /x= 0, where –gT represents the total energy, momentum, and stress. This equation arises from the divergence formula dV _v = (/x ^v )d ⁴ d. Here we show that this formula fails to account properly for the system of basis vectors e(x). We obtain the (invariant) divergence formula e dV _v = e (/x ^v + )d ⁴ d. Conservation of energy and momentum is therefore expressed by the covariant equation (/x ^v ) + = 0. We go on to calculate the variation of the action under uniform displacements in space-time. This calculation yields the covariant equation of conservation, as well as the fully symmetric energy tensor . Finally, we discuss the transfer of energy and momentum, within the context of Einstein's theory of gravitation.     

A particle model for spinodal decomposition

We study a one-dimensional lattice gas where particles jump stochastically obeying an exclusion rule and having a small drift toward regions of higher concentration. We prove convergence in the continuum limit to a nonlinear parabolic equation whenever the initial density profile satisfies suitable conditions which depend on the strengtha of the drift. There is a critical valuea _c ofa. Fora<a _c, the density values are unrestricted, while foraa _c, they should all be to the right or to the left of a given interval (a). The diffusion coefficient of the limiting equation can be continued analytically to (a), and, in the interior of (a), it has negative values which should correspond to particle aggregation phenomena. We also show that the dynamics can be obtained as a limit of a Kawasaki evolution associated to a Kac potential. The coefficienta plays the role of the inverse temperature. The critical value ofa coincides with the critical inverse temperature in the van der Waals limit and (a) with the spinodal region. It is finally seen that in a scaling intermediate between the microscopic and the hydrodynamic, the system evolves according to an integrodifferential equation. The instanton solutions of this equation, as studied by Dal Passo and De Mottoni, are then related to the phase transition region in the thermodynamic phase diagram; analogies with the Cahn-Hilliard equations are also discussed.This paper is dedicated to Jerry Percus with great affection on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

The tangent bundle of a Calabi-Yau manifold-deformations and restriction to rational curves

The tangent bundle _X of a Calabi-Yau threefoldX is the only known example of a stable bundle with non-trivial restriction to any rational curve onX. By deforming the direct sum of _X and the trivial line bundle one can try to obtain new examples. We use algebro-geometric techniques to derive results in this direction. The relation to the finiteness of rational curves on Calabi-Yau threefolds is discussed.     

On the existence of solutions to Einstein's equation with non-zero Bondi news

It is shown that theC-metric (with parameters chosen to lie in suitable intervals) admits a conformal completion such that the space of generators of null infinity, , is a 2-sphere. This structure of is both necessary and sufficient for the analysis of gravitational radiation in exact general relativity. Bondi news (as well as the electromagnetic radiation field, in the charget case) is examined and found to be non-zero. Thus the issue of existence of exact solutions to the Einstein (and Einstein-Maxwell) equations admitting radiation (in the sense of Bondi, Sachs, and Penrose) is resolved. In addition, the analysis clarifies the sense in which the vacuumC-metric represents the gravitational field of two accelerating black-holes.

Amplitude and energy coefficients of reflected and refracted light

The tensor of reflected and refracted light was first introduced into the principal axes and then the latter were transformed into thep ands direction of the electric field strength. The amplitude coefficient of thep-components of refracted light has different forms depending on which complex unit vector is unit with respect to the square or the absolute value. The energy coefficient has the same value in both cases.

Radiation effects in the production and decay of ψ mesons by leptons

A new expression _e is obtained for resonance in the reaction e⁺e^– ar ^+– with allowance for the radiative corrections, which also contain the emission of hard photons by the final leptons and the final value of the energy resolution E. An expression is obtained for the total probability of radiative lepton decay.

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 =.

New derivation of Bardeen-Shockley formula for mobility of electrons in homopolar semi-conductors

The Bardeen-Shockley formula for the mobility of an electron or hole in a homopolar semi-conductor is derived in a different way to that in which its authors obtained it. The interaction energy of the electron with the acoustic lattice oscillations is derived in an original way. A new possibility for determining the energy gap is given.

R andRτ ratios at the five-loop level of perturbative QCD

We study perturbative QCD at the five-loop level. In particular we considerR = _tot(e ⁺ e ^– hadrons)/(e ⁺ e ^{– + –}) andR = ( v+hadrons)/( ev). We use our method to estimate the five-loop coefficients. As a result, we obtain _s (M _z ) = 0.1186(11) and _s (34 GeV) = 0.1396(16), which are accurate at the 1% level. We also findR = 3.8350(18), which is consistent withR and is accurate to 0.05%.     

The spectrum of a quasiperiodic Schrödinger operator

The spectrum (H) of the tight binding Fibonacci Hamiltonian (H _mn= _m,n+1+ _m+1,n + _m,n v(n),v(n)= ((n–1)), 1/ is the golden number) is shown to coincide with the dynamical spectrum, the set on which an infinite subsequence of traces of transfer matrices is bounded. The point spectrum is absent for any , and (H) is a Cantor set for 4. Combining this with Casdagli's earlier result, one finds that the spectrum is singular continuous for 16.On leave from the Central Research Institute for Physics, Budapest, Hungary

Influence of oxygen content on electric and thermoelectric properties of ternary system Bi₂Te_3–x Se _x

A study is made of the influence of oxygen, contained in the semi-conducting system Bi₂Te_3–x Sé _x , on the electric and thermoelectric properties. It is shown that the addition of oxygen to the prepared samples Bi₂Te_2.4Se_0.6 causes a decrease in electric conductivity while the thermoelectric force remains unchanged. This influence is connected with a decrease in the mobility of the electrons but their concentration is not influenced by the presence of oxygen. Conclusions are reached as to the influence of oxygen on the efficiency of the conversion of thermal energy into electric energy and vice versa.

Study of magnetic after-effect in magnesium manganese ferrites

The magnetic after-effect caused by the diffusion of electrons was studied in detail in MnMg ferrites of the series Mg _x Mn_1.15–x Fe_1.85O₄₊ ; the comparative measurements were also carried out on a sample of MgFe₂O₄₊₍<0). By combining the two methods, (a) investigation of the disaccommodation of initial permeability at different temperatures and (b) measurement of the displacement of the maximum of the temperature dependence tan with the frequency, it was possible to study the relaxation processes whose time constants lay between 0.5 sec and several hours, or between 10^–4 to 10^–7 sec. It was found that the processes taking place at low temperatures and studied by method (a) differ from those observed at high temperatures by method (b), particularly in the lower activation energies and greater dispersion of the time constants. In addition to these two main relaxation processes a weak relaxation superposed over the main disaccommodation was found in ferrites with non-zero content of manganese. An analysis of the intensity of different relaxation effects showed the participation of Mn ions in these relaxation effects and it was found that both main relaxations are probably equivalent as regards the final steady state, to the creation of which they lead; they differ however in the mechanism of electron diffusion by which this state is realized. The main features of the different diffusion mechanisms are discussed.
