ℤn Baxter model: Critical behavior

The _n Baxter Model is an exactly solvable lattice model in the special case of the Belavin parametrization. We calculate the critical behavior of Prob_n( = ^k) using techniques developed in number theory in the study of the congruence properties ofp(m), the number of unrestricted partitions of an integerm.

Braces and the Yang–Baxter Equation

Several aspects of relations between braces and non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation are discussed and many consequences are derived. In particular, for each positive integer n a finite square-free multipermutation solution of the Yang–Baxter equation with multipermutation level n and an abelian involutive Yang–Baxter group is constructed. This answers a problem of Gateva-Ivanova and Cameron. It is proved that finite non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation whose associated involutive Yang–Baxter group is abelian are multipermutation solutions. Earlier the authors proved this with the additional square-free hypothesis on the solutions. It is also proved that finite square-free non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions associated to a left brace are multipermutation solutions.     

Electrically and magnetically charged states and particles in the 2+1-dimensional ℤ N -Higgs gauge model

Electrically as well as magnetically charged states are constructed in the 2+1-dimensional Euclidean _N -Higgs lattice gauge model, the former following ideas of Fredenhagen and Marcu [1] and the latter using duality transformations on the algebra of observables. The existence of electrically and of magnetically charged particles is also established. With this work we prepare the ground for the constructive study of anyonic statistics of multiparticle scattering states of electrically and magnetically charged particles in this model.Work supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik)Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SFB 288 Differentialgeometrie und Quantenphysik) and with a travel grant from Fapesp.     

Symmetries and Strong Symmetries of the （3＋1）-Dimensional Burgers Equatio

The strong symmetries (recursion operators) and the inverse strong symmetries of a (3 1)-dimensional Burgers equation are given explicitly.Infinitely many symmetries of the considered model are obtained by acting the strong symmetries and the inverse strong symmetries on some seeds.An infinite-dimensional full Lie point symmetry algebra is also given.     

Baxter–Wu model in the presence of an external magnetic field

In this work we study an unusual phase transition of the Baxter–Wu model in the presence of an external magnetic field. The model is pure Baxter–Wu, which means that only three-spin interactions are taken into account. We construct a phase diagram on the temperature–field plane based mainly on the singularities of the specific heat. These singularities are more clearly observed than those of the magnetic susceptibility which are used in existing works. We establish a discontinuity in the critical exponents when the field is changed from zero to negative.     

Solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation: Descendants of the six-vertex model from the Drinfeld doubles of dihedral group algebras

The representation theory of the Drinfeld doubles of dihedral groups is used to solve the Yang–Baxter equation. Use of the two-dimensional representations recovers the six-vertex model solution. Solutions in arbitrary dimensions, which are viewed as descendants of the six-vertex model case, are then obtained using tensor product graph methods which were originally formulated for quantum algebras. Connections with the Fateev–Zamolodchikov model are discussed.     

New Baxter phase in the Ashkin–Teller model on a cubic lattice

The mean field theory results are obtained from the Bogoliubov inequality for the spin-1/2 Ashkin–Teller model on a cubic lattice for different cluster sizes. The phase diagram, magnetization and free energy are obtained. From those expressions we observed a new phase in the model. Denoted in the course of this work by Baxter⁽²⁾ this new phase presents $〈S〉\ne 〈\sigma 〉\ne 0$. The phase transitions between the Baxter⁽²⁾ and the others well known phases for the model are studied and classified.     

Painleve Analysis and Symmetries of the Hirota–Satsuma Equation

Abstract

The singular manifold expansion of Weiss, Tabor and Carnevale [1] has been successfully applied to integrable ordinary and partial differential equations. They yield information such as Lax pairs, Bäcklund transformations, symmetries, recursion operators, pole dynamics, and special solutions. On the other hand, several recent developments have made the application of group theory to the solution of the differential equations more powerful then ever. More recently, Gibbon et. al. [2] revealed interrelations between the Painlevè property and Hirota’s bilinear method. And W. Strampp [3] hase shown that symmetries and recursion operators for an integrable nonlinear partial differential equation can be obtained from the Painlevè expansion. In this paper, it has been shown that the Hirota–Satsuma equation passes the Painlevé test given by Weiss et al. for nonlinear partial differential equations. Furthermore, the data obtained by the truncation technique is used to obtain the symmetries, recursion operators, some analytical solutions of the Hirota–Satsuma equation.     

On the physical parametrization and magnetic analogs of the Emparan–Teo dihole solution

The Emparan–Teo non-extremal black dihole solution is reparametrized using Komar quantities and the separation distance as arbitrary parameters. We show how the potential A₃$A_3$ can be calculated for the magnetic analogs of this solution in the Einstein–Maxwell and Einstein–Maxwell-dilaton theories. We also demonstrate that, similar to the extreme case, the external magnetic field can remove the supporting strut in the non-extremal black dihole too.     

Form Invariance and Lie Symmetries of the Rotational Relativistic Birkhoff System

For a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system,the relation between the form invariance and the Lie symmetries are given Under infinitesimal transformations of groups.If the infinitesimal transformation generators ξ0 and ξμ satisfy the conditions of the form invariance,and the determining equation of Lie symmetries holds,the form invariance leads to a Lie symmetry of the system.Furthermore,if the infinitesimal transformations generators ξ0 and ξμ satisfy the conditions of the form invariance and the determining equation of Lie symmetry holds,and if there is a gauge function G satisfying the structure equation of Lie symmetry,then the form invariance will lead to the Lie symmetrical conserved quantity of the system.An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Relativistic Symmetries in the Hulthén-like Potential and Tensor Interaction

In the presence of spin and pseudospin (p-spin) symmetries, the approximate analytical bound states of the Dirac equation for Hulthén-like potential including a Coulomb-like tensor interaction are obtained with any arbitrary spin–orbit coupling number κ using the Pekeris approximation. The generalized parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) method is used to obtain the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions in their closed forms. We show that tensor interaction removes degeneracies between spin and p-spin doublets. Some numerical results are also given.     

Solutions of the Classical Yang–Baxter Equation and Noncommutative Deformations

We show that given a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra acting on a smooth manifold P then, for any solution of the classical Yang–Baxter equation on , there is a canonical Poisson tensor on P and an associated canonical torsion-free and flat contravariant connection. Moreover, we prove that the metacurvature of this contravariant connection vanishes if the isotropy Lie subalgebras of the action are trivial. Those results permit to get a large class of smooth manifolds satisfying the necessary conditions, introduced by Eli Hawkins, to the existence of noncommutative deformations.

Matrix KP: tropical limit and Yang–Baxter maps

We study soliton solutions of matrix Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations in a tropical limit, in which their support at fixed time is a planar graph and polarizations are attached to its constituting lines. There is a subclass of “pure line soliton solutions” for which we find that, in this limit, the distribution of polarizations is fully determined by a Yang–Baxter map. For a vector KP equation, this map is given by an R-matrix, whereas it is a nonlinear map in the case of a more general matrix KP equation. We also consider the corresponding Korteweg–deVries reduction. Furthermore, exploiting the fine structure of soliton interactions in the tropical limit, we obtain an apparently new solution of the tetrahedron (or Zamolodchikov) equation. Moreover, a solution of the functional tetrahedron equation arises from the parameter dependence of the vector KP R-matrix.

     

Reducible Connections and Non-local Symmetries of the Self-dual Yang–Mills Equations

We construct the most general reducible connection that satisfies the self-dual Yang–Mills equations on a simply-connected, open subset of flat ${\mathbb{R}^4}$ . We show how all such connections lie in the orbit of the flat connection on ${\mathbb{R}^4}$ under the action of non-local symmetries of the self-dual Yang–Mills equations. Such connections fit naturally inside a larger class of solutions to the self-dual Yang–Mills equations that are analogous to harmonic maps of finite type.     

Symmetries of the Classical Integrable Systems and 2-Dimensional Quantum Gravity: a ‘Map’

Abstract

We draw attention to the connections recently established by others between the classical integrable KdV and KP hierarchies in 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 dimensions respectively and the matrix models which relate to the partition functions of 2-dimensional (1 + 1 dimensional) quantum gravity. The symmetries of the classical KP hierarchy in 2 + 1 dimensions are fundamental to this connection.     

Spectrum-Generating Symmetries for the Superpotentials Acot θ and Btanh y

The hierarchy of supersymmetric partner Schrödinger equations for the superpotentials Acot?θ and Btanh?y with A and B as half-integer and negative integer numbers are solved. The number of bound states for given trigonometric and hyperbolic potentials are infinite and finite, respectively. In addition to the spectrum-generating corresponding to the standard supersymmetry which is based on shifting potential parameter, there exist three other different methods for generating the spectrum. The first method is based on supersymmetrizing two given models via infinite and finite number of their bound states. This is realized by the ladder operators which shift only quantum numbers. The second and third methods are based on supersymmetrizing any of the models via all bound states corresponding to hierarchy of their partner potentials. They are respectively realized via simultaneous increasing or decreasing of quantum number and the potential parameter, and also, increasing one of them while decreasing the other. Any of the second and third methods leads to introducing two different classes of the algebraic solutions for both models.     

Chemical potentials and parity breaking: the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model

Relying on the collinear factorization approach, we demonstrate that H1 and ZEUS measurements of exclusive light vector meson and photon electroproduction cross sections can be simultaneously described for photon virtualities of ${\mathcal {Q}}\gtrsim 2\, \mathrm{GeV}$ . Our findings reveal that quark exchanges are important in this small $x_\mathrm{Bj}$ region and that in leading order approximation the gluonic component is suppressed, e.g., the skewness ratio can be much smaller than one.     

Bosonized Supersymmetric Sawada–Kotera Equations: Symmetries and Exact Solutions

The Bosonized Supersymmetric Sawada–Kotera(BSSK) system is constructed by applying bosonization method to a Supersymmetric Sawada–Kotera system in this paper. The symmetries on the BSSK equations are researched and the calculation shows that the BSSK equations are invariant under the scaling transformations, the space-time translations and Galilean boosts. The one-parameter invariant subgroups and the corresponding invariant solutions are researched for the BSSK equations. Four types of reduction equations and similarity solutions are proposed. Period Cnoidal wave solutions, dark solitary wave solutions and bright solitary wave solutions of the BSSK equations are demonstrated and some evolution curves of the exact solutions are figured out.     

Remarks on the “Non-canonicity Puzzle”: Lagrangian Symmetries of the Einstein-Hilbert Action

Given the non-canonical relationship between variables used in the Hamiltonian formulations of the Einstein-Hilbert action (due to Pirani, Schild, Skinner (PSS) and Dirac) and the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) action, and the consequent difference in the gauge transformations generated by the first-class constraints of these two formulations, the assumption that the Lagrangians from which they were derived are equivalent leads to an apparent contradiction that has been called “the non-canonicity puzzle”. In this work we shall investigate the group properties of two symmetries derived for the Einstein-Hilbert action: diffeomorphism, which follows from the PSS and Dirac formulations, and the one that arises from the ADM formulation. We demonstrate that unlike the diffeomorphism transformations, the ADM transformations (as well as others, which can be constructed for the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian using Noether’s identities) do not form a group. This makes diffeomorphism transformations unique (the term “canonical” symmetry might be suggested). If the two Lagrangians are to be called equivalent, canonical symmetry must be preserved. The interplay between general covariance and the canonicity of the variables used is discussed.
