Models of random systems whose Hamiltonian reads , where and _i ,=1,...,n are independent, identically distributed random variables are discussed.J _ij are assumed to be symmetric, with respect toJ ₀, random variables and also symmetric functions of components of . A question of dependence of a phase diagram on a probability distribution of is addressed. A class of distributions and interactionsJ _ij , which give rise to phase diagrams called typical is selected. Then a problem of obtaining typical phase diagrams, containing a certain region with an infinite number of pure phases, is studied.

Classical Dynamical r-Matrices,Poisson Homogeneous Spaces,and Lagrangian Subalgebras

Lu has shown that any dynamical r-matrix for the pair ( , ) naturally induces a Poisson homogeneous structure on G/U. She also proved that if is complex simple, is its Cartan subalgebra and r is quasitriangular, then this correspondence is in fact one-to-one. In this Letter we find some general conditions under which the Lu correspondence is one-to-one. Then we apply this result to describe all triangular Poisson homogeneous structures on G/U for a simple complex group G and its reductive subgroup U containing a Cartan subgroup.     

Eigenvalue Asymptotics for the Schrödinger Operator with a δ-Interaction on a Punctured Surface

Given n2, we put r=min . Let be a compact, C ^r -smooth surface in ⁿ which contains the origin. Let further be a family of measurable subsets of such that as . We derive an asymptotic expansion for the discrete spectrum of the Schrödinger operator in L ²( ⁿ ), where is a positive constant, as . An analogous result is given also for geometrically induced bound states due to a interaction supported by an infinite planar curve.     

Periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and invariant measures

In this paper we continue some investigations on the periodic NLSEiu _u +iu _xx +u|u| ^p-2 (p6) started in [LRS]. We prove that the equation is globally wellposed for a set of data of full normalized Gibbs measrue (after suitableL ²-truncation). The set and the measure are invariant under the flow. The proof of a similar result for the KdV and modified KdV equations is outlined. The main ingredients used are some estimates from [B1] on periodic NLS and KdV type equations.     

Kondo effect,spin dynamics and magnetism in anomalous rare earth and actinide compounds

The influence of spin dynamics on the Kondo effect manifestations in the Kondo lattices is investigated within perturbation theory with respect to thes-f interaction. It may give rise to Kondo-like divergencies in the electron self-energy already in the second order, resulting in an appreciable effective mass enhancement. As for usual Kondo contributions to thermodynamic and transport properties, the effect of spin dynamics reduces roughly to the replacement ln , with the characteristic spin-fluctuation energy. The thermoelectric power of dense Kondo systems is discussed. Singular contributions to the electron self-energies in the ferro-and antiferromagnetic state are considered. Kondo-like corrections to the intersite exchange interactions, saturation magnetic moment and total energy in a magnetically ordered state are calculated. The strong-coupling regionT<T _K is investigated within the Anderson lattice model. A decrease ofT _K due to spin fluctuations is demonstrated.

Localization for some continuous random Schrödinger operators

We study the spectrum of random Schrödinger operators acting onL ²(R ^d ) of the following type . The are i.i.d. random variables. Under weak assumptions onV, we prove exponential localization forH at the lower edge of its spectrum. In order to do this, we give a new proof of the Wegner estimate that works without sign assumptions onV.

Sous de faibles hypothèses surV, nous démontrons que le bord inférieur du spectre deH n'est composé que de spectre purement ponctuel et, que les fonctions propres associées sont exponentiellement décroissantes. Pour ce faire nous donnons une nouvelle preuve de l'estimée de Wegner valable sans hypothèses de signe surV.

Preferred Invariant Symplectic Connections on Compact Coadjoint Orbits

Let be the Haag--Kastler net generated by the (2) chiral current algebra at level 1. We classify the SL(2, )-covariant subsystems by showing that they are all fixed points nets ^H for some subgroup H of the gauge automorphisms group SO(3) of . Then, using the fact that the net ₁ generated by the (1) chiral current can be regarded as a subsystem of , we classify the subsystems of ₁. In this case, there are two distinct proper subsystems: the one generated by the energy-momentum tensor and the gauge invariant subsystem .     

Painlevé analysis and hamiltonian structure of a new space-dependent KdV equation

We deduce the Lax pair for a new space-dependent KdV equation, , via the technique of Painlevé analysis. From it, infinitely many conservation laws are deduced and the symplectic structure is obtained.     

On the Product of Real Spectral Triples

The product of two real spectral triples and , the first of which is necessarily even, was defined by A.Connes as given by and, in the even-even case, by . Generically it is assumed that the real structure obeys the relations , , , where the -sign table depends on the dimension n modulo 8 of the spectral triple. If both spectral triples obey Connes' >-sign table, it is seen that their product, defined in the straightforward way above, does not necessarily obey this -sign table. In this Letter, we propose an alternative definition of the product real structure such that the -sign table is also satisfied by the product.     

Demixing in Isotropic Binary Mixtures of Rodlike Macromolecules

A binary mixture of long rigid rods of diameters D _i and lengths L _i (i=1, 2) may demix into two isotropic phases, and we give necessary conditions on the molecular size parameters for this transition to exist. These conditions imply that the two diameters must be sufficiently unequal, D ₂/D ₁>( + )², or D ₂/D ₁<( + )², while the length ratio is limited to an interval f _–(D ₂/D ₁)<L ₂/L ₁<f ₊(D ₂/D ₁). The functions f _± are given explicitly.     

A Construction of Representations and Quantum Homogeneous Spaces

A simplified construction of representations is presented for the quantized enveloping algebra q ( ), with being a simple complex Lie algebra belonging to one of the four principal series A\ell, B\ell, C\ell or D\ell. The carrier representation space is the quantized algebra of polynomials in antiholomorphic coordinate functions on the big cell of a coadjoint orbit of K where K is the compact simple Lie group with the Lie algebra – the compact form of .     

Exact solutions of the D-dimensional Schrödinger equation for a ring-shaped pseudoharmonic potential

A new non-central potential, consisting of a pseudoharmonic potential plus another recently proposed ring-shaped potential, is solved. It has the form $ V(r,\theta ) = \tfrac{1} {8}\kappa r_e^2 \left( {\tfrac{r} {{r_e }} - \tfrac{{r_e }} {r}} \right)^2 + \tfrac{{\beta cos^2 \theta }} {{r^2 sin^2 \theta }} A new non-central potential, consisting of a pseudoharmonic potential plus another recently proposed ring-shaped potential, is solved. It has the form . The energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the bound-states for the Schr?dinger equation in D-dimensions for this potential are obtained analytically by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The radial and angular parts of the wave functions are obtained in terms of orthogonal Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. We also find that the energy of the particle and the wave functions reduce to the energy and the wave functions of the bound-states in three dimensions.      

The Heisenberg ferromagnet as a quantum field theory

We consider a lattice of spin 1/2 ions, described by the discrete form of the current commutation relationsJ _i J _(i) =1/2, [J _i ,J _i ]=i _ij J _i where =1, 2, 3 andi label the lattice sites. The algebra is realized as the Clifford algebra over a Hilbert space. The equations of motion are specified by a formal Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg form: , wheref _ij 0 and only a finite numberQ of ions are linked to any given lattice site. We prove that the Hamiltonian is non-negative in a representation of , and has a ground state exhibiting ferromagnetism. The time displacement group acts continuously on , inducing automorphisms. is asymptotically abelian with respect to the space translations of the lattice.The model is an example of an algebraic quantum field theory and possesses a broken symmetry, the rotation group 0(3). The consequent Goldstone theorem is proved, namely, there is no energy gap in the spectrum ofH.     

Chains of twists and induced deformations

Chains of extended twists are composed of factors . The set of Jordanian twists { } can be applied to the initial Hopf algebra . In this case the remaining (transformed) factors of the chain can serve as extensions for such a multijordanian twist. We study the properties of these generalized extensions and the spectra of deformations of the corresponding Heisenberg-like algebras. The results are explicitly demonstrated for the case when .

We show that in the criticalcase, , the operator has nobound statesfor small .On the otherhand, a weakly bound state existsprovided . In thatcase, there are positive c ₁,c ₂ suchthat the corresponding eigenvalue satisfies for all sufficiently small.     

Poisson Structures for Dispersionless Integrable Systems and Associated W-Algebras

In analogy to the KP theory, the second Poisson structure for the dispersionless KP hierarchy can be defined on the space of commutative pseudodifferential operators . The reduction of the Poisson structure to the symplectic submanifold gives rise to W-algebras. In this Letter, we discuss properties of this Poisson structure, its Miura transformation and reductions. We are particularly interested in the following two cases: (a) L is pure polynomial in p with multiple roots and (b) L has multiple poles at finite distance. The w-algebra corresponding to the case (a) is defined as , where means the multiplicity of roots and to the case (b) is defined by where is the multiplicity of poles. We prove that -algebra is isomorphic via a transformation to U(1) with m= . We also give the explicit free fields representations for these W-algebras.     

The Chern classes of Sobolev connections

AssumeF is the curvature (field) of a connection (potential) onR ⁴ with finiteL ² norm . We show the chern number (topological quantum number) is an integer. This generalizes previous results which showed that the integrality holds forF satisfying the Yang-Mills equations. We actually prove the natural general result in all even dimensions larger than 2.
