Differential algebras for quantum groups of type B, C, and D

We study higher order bicovariant differential calculi on the quantum groups O_q(N) and Sp _q (N). We show that the second antisymmetrizer exterior algebra _u is the quotient of the universal exterior algebra _u by the principal ideal generated by . Here denotes the unique up to scalars biinvariant 1-form. Moreover is central in _u and _u is an inner differential calculus. We show that the quadratic dual to the left-invariant algebra _{s L} is isomorphic to the reflection equation algebra. Let be an arbitrary left-covariant first order differential calculus. We show that the dimension of the space of left-invariant 2-forms in the universal exterior algebra equals the number of linearly independent quadratic-linear relations in the quantum tangent space.     

Symmetries and half-sided modular inclusions of von Neumann algebras

LetN, be a von Neumann algebras on a Hilbert space , a common cyclic and separating vector. Assume to be cyclic and also separating forN . Denote by , _N , _N the modular operators to (, ), (N, ), resp (N , ). Assume now ^-it N ^it N for allt 0. (Such type of inclusions ((N U, ) , ) are called half-sided modular.) Then the modular groups ^it , _N ^ir , _N ^is ,t, r, s generate a unitary representation of the group S1(2, )/Z ₂ of positive energy.Another result is related to two half-sided modular inclusions (₁ , ) and (₂ , ). Under proper conditions the three modular groups ^it , ₁ ^ir , ₂ ^is ,t, r, s generate the three-dimensional subgroup of O(2, 1) of two commuting translations and the Lorentz transformation.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik.     

On the coherent state representation of linear operators

It is shown that the possibility of representing every operator, acting on a vector space, irreducible under SU(2), in the form f|>G()<| d [1], where {|>} is a set of Bloch (atomic) coherent states, can be generalized to compact semi-simple Lie groups.Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.     

Representations of state space transformations by Markov kernels

Every convex subset of a locally convex Hausdorff space (X, ) is equipped with the (-algebra generated by its-relatively open subsets. Within the set () of probability measures on two particular convex subsets are considered: (a) the set ^s () of probability measures with a separable support, and (b) the set ^c () of probability measures with a compact convex support. If is the base of a cone inX, then there exists an affine barycenter map from ^c () onto whose composition with the natural embedding of in ^c () yields the identity map on , and every-continuous affine transformation of can be represented by an affine transformation of ^c () that is induced by a Markov kernel. If (X, ) is a Banach space and is a closed, bounded, generating cone base inX that is contained in a hyperplane, then analogous results are obtained with respect to ^s (). Since the state spaces considered in noncommutative measure theory are cone bases and every change in time of an empirical system can be thought of as an affine transformation of the associated state space (Schrödinger picture), the existence of these representation theorems implies that the time evolution of general empirical systems can be described by dynamical concepts borrowed from classical probability theory.     

Four-parametric regular black hole solution

We present a regular class of exact black hole solutions of the Einstein equations coupled with a nonlinear electrodynamics source. For weak fields the nonlinear electrodynamics becomes the Maxwell theory, and asymptotically the solutions behave as the Reissner–Nordström one. The class is endowed with four parameters, which can be thought of as the mass m, charge q, and a sort of dipole and quadrupole moments and , respectively. For 3, 4, and |q|2s _c m the corresponding solutions are regular charged black holes. For = 3, they also satisfy the weak energy condition. For = = 0 we recover the Reissner–Nordström singular solution and for = 3, = 4 the family includes a previous regular black hole reported by the authors.     

Transformation methods for solving nonlinear field equations

The collection of extended canonical transformations of first-order contact manifolds is studied. This collection is shown to form a group under target-source composition and to contain the group of all first prolongations of point transformation of the underlying graph space and all isogroups of completely integrable horizontal ideals. Extended canonical transformations are compared and contrasted with Bäcklund transformations. These results are used to construct an extended Hamilton-Jacobi method for systems of nonlinear PDE. The collection of all extended canonical transformations is also shown to contain infinitely many one-parameter families of transformations, but there is no Lie group structure that contains these one-parameter families, in general. Conditions are obtained under which a one-parameter family of extended canonical transformations will map a solution of the fundamental ideal that characterizes a given system of PDE into a one-parameter family of solutions. These results are applied to the -Gordon equation _x1 = () and to the Navier-Stokes equations.     

The canonical variables,the symplectic structure and the initial value formulation of the generalized Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity

Canonical variables for the generalized (non-metric) Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity are defined. The space of solutions is equipped with a closed differential 2-form . The symplectic 2-form has a diagonal representation in terms of canonical variables. A geometric interpretation of the canonical variables is presented and the 3+1 formulation of the field equations is given.     

Three body asymptotic completeness forP(Φ)2 models

We consider weakly coupled even P()₂ models that do not have a two-body bound state, and prove asymptotic completeness on the subspace of states with mass between 3m+a() and 4m–b(), wherea andb are positive functions tending to zero with . The analytic structure of the six point function, integrated over the three incoming momenta, shows only two Landau singular manifolds (plus normal thresholds) associated to three particle processes.Laboratoire associé au Centre National de la Recherche ScientifiqueGroupe de Recherche du C.N.R.S.

Some remarks on braided group reconstruction and braided doubles

The cross coproduct braided group AutC)B is obtained by Tannaka-Krein reconstruction from C ^B C for a braided group B in braided category C. We apply this construction to obtain partial solutions to two problems in braided group theory, namely the tensor problem and the braided double. We obtain AutC) Aut(C) Aut(C) Aut(C) and higher braided group spin chains. The example B(R) B(R) ... B(R) is described explicitly by R-matrix relations. We also obtain Aut(C) Aut(C)* as a dual quasitriangular codouble braided group by reconstruction from the dual category C° C. General braided double crossproducts B C are also considered.     

The metal-semiconductor transition in amorphous Si1−x Cr x films:T 0.19-contribution to the metallic conductivity

A detailed phenomenological re-analysis of previously published conductivity data, (T, x), is presented. It is based on the investigation of differences, (T, x ₁)–(T, x ₂). In this way, the cusp-like low-temperature term is amplified against the other temperature dependent contributions. This term can be described by wherep=0.19±0.03. It is present, if (4.2 K,x) exceeds 260 ^–1 cm^–1, at least up to (4.2 K,x)1350 ^–1 cm^–1 and forT60 K. But it is absent, if (4.2 K,x)180 ^–1 cm^–1. The disappearance of this contribution should be related to the metal-semiconductor transition, taking place atx _c 0.14. On the other hand, the presence of a term proportional toT ^1/2, as predicted by Altshuler and Aronov, seems unlikely.It is argued that the term should be related to the interplay of electron-electron interaction and disorder. The comparison with data from the literature shows that this contribution might also be present in heavily doped crystalline semiconductors.

Electron beam in betatron

The shape of the beam of charged particles in an annular accelerator is derived using a hydrodynamic approximation. Two cases are studied: an equilibrium beam, which is an idealized model of a beam of captured particles, and a non-equilibrium beam, which is formed of injected particles. The experiments carried out on an electron beam in a betatron agree with theory. The term capture efficiency of electrons =Q/Q_t is introduced, where Q is the captured charge and Q_t the maximum charge which can be maintained by the stabilizing forces of the magnetic field. It is shown that in existing betatrons the efficiency attains only a few percent.

Noncommutative Cohomology and Electromagnetism on $$\mathbb{C}$$ q [SL2] at Roots of Unity

We compute the noncommutative de Rham cohomology for the finite dimensional q-deformed coordinate ring _q [SL₂] at odd roots of unity and with its standard four-dimensional differential structure. We find that H ⁱ is highly nontrivial compared to case of generic q and has as many modes 1 : 4 : 6 : 4 : 1 as the dimension of the exterior algebra. We solve the spin-0 and Maxwell theory on _q [SL₂], including a complete picture of the self-dual and anti-self dual solutions and of Lorentz and temporal gauge fixing. The system behaves in fact like a noncompact space with self-propagating modes (i.e., in the absence of sources). We also solve with examples of electric and magnetic sources including the biinvariant element H ¹ which we find can be viewed as a source in the local (Minkowski) time-direction (i.e. a uniform electric charge density).     

Currents and Super-Operator Product Expansionsof N = 4 Super-W Algebra

The currents and the super-operators product expansions of theN = 4 super-Walgebra are obtained. The generators of this extended conformal algebra consistof the stress-tensor superfield J and the primary superfields _±v ^q of integer orhalf-integer conformal weight and Cartan–Weylcharge q. The algorithm forderiving the N = 4 super-W algebra is given for particular cases. Explicit formsof the operator product algebra for different values of are given.     

A note on strongly additive conformal field theory and half-sided modular conormal standard inclusions

Given a half-sided modular standard inclusion (N , ) of von-Neumann algebras which is conormal, we construct a chiral conformal quantum field theory on the circle. Conversely, a conformal quantum field theory on the circle which fulfills, in addition, the property of strong additivity, yields such data in a natural way.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik.     

Observation of variable range hopping at “natural” phonon frequencies

Hill's analysis of hopping conductivity data has been applied to ion-bombarded amorphous-silicon samples. The apparent hopping conductivity parameters derived from a standardT ^–0.25 plot undergo changes by several orders of magnitude when plotted with the exact scaling of the abscissa. A typical example is characterized by a temperature dependence ofdc conductivity according to= ₀ exp (—(T ₀/T) ^m ), withm=0.45,T ₀ =6.410⁴K and ₀=6.610^{1 –1} cm^–1. From ₀ a phonon frequency of about 3–1510¹² s^–1 is derived.     

MC-simulation of the 3D,q=3 Potts model

We consider theq=3 Potts model in three dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. The microcanonical density of states is calculated as a function of the internal energy of the system. We extrapolate the data for the simulated finite systems to the thermo-dynamic limit and find a discontinuous phase transition. This method is checked in the two-dimensional case, where exact results are known.     

Stationary axisymmetric perfect fluid solutions in general relativity

A new class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations with the energy-momentum tensor of a perfect fluid is given. The class of solutions is invariantly characterized by means of the following properties: (i) The energy-momentum tensor describes a perfect fluid. (ii) There are two commuting Killing vectors and which form an abelian groupG ₂ of motion. (iii) There is a timelike Killing vector parallel to the four-velocity of the fluid (rigid rotation of the fluid). (iv) The four-vector of the angular velocity of the fluid is a gradient ⁱ=–(1/4_c)^irklU_l (U_r:k–U_k:r)= ⁱ. The last assumption is the reason that all solutions of this class can be found by solving an ordinary differential equation of the second order.     

The asymmetric contact process on a finite set

The contact process onZ has one phase transition; let _c be the critical value at which the transition occurs. Let _N be the extinction time of the contact process on {0,...,N}. Durrett and Liu (1988), Durrett and Schonmann (1988), and Durrett, Schonmann, and Tanaka (1989) have respectively proved that the subcritical, supercritical, and critical phases can be characterized using a large finite system (instead ofZ) in the following way. There are constants ₁() and ₂() such that if < _c , lim _{N N} /logN = 1/₁(); if > _c , lim _N log _N /N = ₂(); if = _c , lim _{N N} /N= and lim _{N N} /N ⁴=0 in probability. In this paper we consider the asymmetric contact process onZ when it has two distinct critical values _c1< _c2. The arguments of Durrett and Liu and of Durrett and Schonmann hold for < _c1 and > _c2. We show that for [ _c1< _c2), lim _{N N} /N=-1/, (where _i is an edge speed) and for = _c2, lim _N log _N /logN=2 in probability.     

Quantum Observables,Lie Algebra Homology and TQFT

Let us consider a Lie (super)algebra G spanned by T where T are quantum observables in BV formalism. It is proved that for every tensor c^... that determines a homology class of the Lie algebra G the expression c^...T...T is again a quantum observable. This theorem is used to construct quantum observables in the BV sigma model. We apply this construction to explain Kontsevich's results about the relation between homology of the Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields and topological invariants of manifolds.     

Superconductivity in simple cubic Te—Au alloys produced by ion irradiation

Superconducting simple cubic Te_100–x Au _x films (10<x<90) were produced by He⁺-irradiation at low temperatures as well as at room temperature. After low temperature irradiation the as-irradiated disordered samples forx<60 at % Au are in a semiconducting state which becomes unstable at about 230 K, and then transform into the s.c. superconducting phase. The resistivity of the s.c. phase displays a negative temperature coefficient for residual resistivity values larger than 100 cm. In comparison to splat cooled foils, the s.c. Te—Au phase in the He⁺-irradiated films is more homogeneous. The observed variation of the transition temperature to the superconducting state with Au content is explained as an interaction of the Fermi-surface with several Bragg-planes.
