Energy-Momentum of a Cosmological Brane Model and the Gauge Hierarchy

We analyze in this paper the general covariant energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational system in general five-dimensional cosmological brane-world models. Then through calculating this energy-momentum for the cosmological generalization of the Randall-Sundrum model, which includes the original RS model as the static limit, we are able to show that the weakness of the gravitation on the “visible” brane is a general feature of this model. This is the origin of the gauge hierarchy from a gravitational point of view. Our results are also consistent with the fact that a gravitational system has vanishing total energy.     

Exact Solutions of Ablowitz–Ladik Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources Revisited and Reductions

In the paper, Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy with new self-consistent sources is investigated. First the source in the hierarchy is described as φnφn+1, where φnis related to the Ablowitz–Ladik spectral problem, instead of the corresponding adjoint spectral problem. Then by means of the inverse scattering transform, the multi-soliton solutions for the hierarchy are obtained. Two reductions to the discrete mKdV and nonlinear Schr¨odinger hierarchies with selfconsistent sources are considered by using the uniqueness of the Jost functions, as well as their N-soliton solutions.

Two Hierarchies of New Differential-Difference Equations Related to the Darboux Transformations of the Kaup–Newell Hierarchy

Two hierarchies of new nonlinear differential-difference equations with one continuous variable and one discrete variable are constructed from the Darboux transformations of the Kaup–Newell hierarchy of equations. Their integrable properties such as recursion operator, zero-curvature representations, and bi-Hamiltonian structures are studied. In addition, the hierarchy of equations obtained by Wu and Geng is identified with the hierarchy of two-component modified Volterra lattice equations.     

Thermal Conductivity of the Toda Lattice with Conservative Noise

We study the thermal conductivity of the one dimensional Toda lattice perturbed by a stochastic dynamics preserving energy and momentum. The strength of the stochastic noise is controlled by a parameter γ. We show that heat transport is anomalous, and that the thermal conductivity diverges with the length n of the chain according to κ(n)∼n ^α , with 0<α≤1/2. In particular, the ballistic heat conduction of the unperturbed Toda chain is destroyed. Besides, the exponent α of the divergence depends on γ.     

A New Lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook Model for the Convection-Diffusion Equation with a Source Term

A new lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK) model for the convection-diffusion equation with a source term is proposed. Unlike the models proposed previously, the present model does not require any additional assumptionon the source term. Numerical results are found to be in excellent agreement with the analytical solutions. It is also found that the numerical accuracy of the model is much better than that of the existing models.     

Dirac-Type Equations in a Gravitational Field,with Vector Wave Function

An analysis of the classical-quantum correspondence shows that it needs to identify a preferred class of coordinate systems, which defines a torsionless connection. One such class is that of the locally-geodesic systems, corresponding to the Levi-Civita connection. Another class, thus another connection, emerges if a preferred reference frame is available. From the classical Hamiltonian that rules geodesic motion, the correspondence yields two distinct Klein-Gordon equations and two distinct Dirac-type equations in a general metric, depending on the connection used. Each of these two equations is generally-covariant, transforms the wave function as a four-vector, and differs from the Fock-Weyl gravitational Dirac equation (DFW equation). One obeys the equivalence principle in an often-accepted sense, whereas the DFW equation obeys that principle only in an extended sense. Part of this work was done while the author was at Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Bari and INFN Bari, Italy.     

Marginal Distribution of Wigner Function in Mesoscopic RLC Circuit at Finite Temperature and Its Application

By means of the Weyl correspondence and Wigner theorem the marginal distribution of Wigner function in mesoscopic RLC circuit at finite temperature was discussed. Here we endow the Wigner function with a new physical meaning, i.e., its marginal distributions’ statistical average for q ²/(2C) and p ²/(2L) are the temperature-related energy stored in capacity and in inductance of the mesoscopic RLC circuit, respectively.     

Solution to the Master Equation of a Free Damped Harmonic Oscillator with Linear Driving

We use the Lie algebra representation theory for superoperators to solve the master equation for a harmonic oscillator with a linear driving term in a squeezed thermal reservoir. By using the quantum displacement trans-formation and squeeze transformation, we show that the master equation has an su(1,1) Lie algebra structure, with which we obtain the explicit solution to the master equation. A simple but typical example is given to illustrate our method.

The Global Renormalization Group Trajectory in a Critical Supersymmetric Field Theory on the Lattice ℤ3

We consider an Euclidean supersymmetric field theory in ℤ³ given by a supersymmetric Φ⁴ perturbation of an underlying massless Gaussian measure on scalar bosonic and Grassmann fields with covariance the Green’s function of a (stable) Lévy random walk in ℤ³. The Green’s function depends on the Lévy-Khintchine parameter with 0<α<2. For the Φ⁴ interaction is marginal. We prove for sufficiently small and initial parameters held in an appropriate domain the existence of a global renormalization group trajectory uniformly bounded on all renormalization group scales and therefore on lattices which become arbitrarily fine. At the same time we establish the existence of the critical (stable) manifold. The interactions are uniformly bounded away from zero on all scales and therefore we are constructing a non-Gaussian supersymmetric field theory on all scales. The interest of this theory comes from the easily established fact that the Green’s function of a (weakly) self-avoiding Lévy walk in ℤ³ is a second moment (two point correlation function) of the supersymmetric measure governing this model. The rigorous control of the critical renormalization group trajectory is a preparation for the study of the critical exponents of the (weakly) self-avoiding Lévy walk in ℤ³.     

Ultra-fast disordering by fs-lasers: Lattice superheating prior to the entropy catastrophe

Point defects and lattice heating are two major sources for the catastrophic disordering of a crystal in equilibrium. I demonstrate that the thermal point defects formation time in a femtosecond laser (fs-laser)-excited solid is the longest of all relaxation times, while the ultra-fast contribution to the entropy changes from electrons is minor in comparison to the catastrophe value. Thus non-thermal disordering solely by electron excitation prior to the energy transfer to the lattice is proved to be thermodynamically impossible. The swiftly excited solid can be disordered only if a lattice is superheated over the critical temperature defined by the entropy catastrophe. The presented analysis of experiments on fs excitation of different solids is consistent with theory.     

Distributional and Classical Solutions to the Cauchy Boltzmann Problem for Soft Potentials with Integrable Angular Cross Section

This paper focuses on the study of existence and uniqueness of distributional and classical solutions to the Cauchy Boltzmann problem for the soft potential case assuming S ^n?1 integrability of the angular part of the collision kernel (Grad cut-off assumption). For this purpose we revisit the Kaniel–Shinbrot iteration technique to present an elementary proof of existence and uniqueness results that includes the large data near local Maxwellian regime with possibly infinite initial mass. We study the propagation of regularity using a recent estimate for the positive collision operator given in (Alonso et al. in Convolution inequalities for the Boltzmann collision operator. arXiv:0902.0507 [math.AP]) , by E. Carneiro and the authors, that allows us to show such propagation without additional conditions on the collision kernel. Finally, an L ^p -stability result (with 1≤p≤∞) is presented assuming the aforementioned condition.

Analytical Approach to the One-Dimensional Disordered Exclusion Process with Open Boundaries and Random Sequential Dynamics

A one-dimensional disordered particle hopping rate asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) with open boundaries and a random sequential dynamics is studied analytically. Combining the exact results of the steady states in the pure case with a perturbative mean field-like approach the broken particle-hole symmetry is highlighted and the phase diagram is studied in the parameter space (α,β), where α and β represent respectively the injection rate and the extraction rate of particles. The model displays, as in the pure case, high-density, low-density and maximum-current phases. All critical lines are determined analytically showing that the high-density low-density first order phase transition occurs at α≠β. We show that the maximum-current phase extends its stability region as the disorder is increased and the usual -decay of the density profile in this phase is universal. Assuming that some exact results for the disordered model on a ring hold for a system with open boundaries, we derive some analytical results for platoon phase transition within the low-density phase and we give an analytical expression of its corresponding critical injection rate α ^*. As it was observed numerically (Bengrine et al. J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32:2527, [1999]), we show that the quenched disorder induces a cusp in the current-density relation at maximum flow in a certain region of parameter space and determine the analytical expression of its slope. The results of numerical simulations we develop agree with the analytical ones. Regular associate of ICTP.     

New Symmetry Reductions,Dromions—Like and Compacton Solutions for a 2D BS（m,n） Equations Hierarchy with Fully Nonlinear Dispersion

We have found two types of important exact solutions,compacton solutions,which are solitary waves with the property that after colliding with their own kind,they re-emerge with the same coherent shape very much as the solitons do during a completely elastic interaction,in the (1 1)D,(1 2)D and even (1 3)D models,and dromion solutions (exponentially decaying solutions in all direction) in many (1 2)D and (1 3)D models.In this paper,symmetry reductions in (1 2)D are considered for the break soliton-type equation with fully nonlinear dispersion (called BS(m,n) equation)ut b(u^m)xxy 4b(u^n δx^-1uy)x=0,which is a generalized model of (1 2)D break soliton equation ut buxxy 4buuy 4buxδx^-1uy=0,by using the extended direct reduction method.As a result,six types of symmetry reductions are obtained.Starting from the reduction equations and some simple transformations,we obtain the solitary wavke solutions of BS(1,n) equations,compacton solutions of BS(m,m-1) equations and the compacton-like solution of the potential form (called PBS(3,2)) ωxt b(ux^m)xxy 4b(ωx^nωy)x=0.In addition,we show that the variable ∫^x uy dx admits dromion solutions rather than the field u itself in BS(1,n) equation.     

Unifying dark energy and dark matter with the modified Ricci model

In this paper, two modified Ricci models are considered as the candidates of unified dark matter–dark energy. In model one, the energy density is given by r_MR=3M_pl(aH²+b[(H)\dot])\rho_{\mathrm{MR}}=3M_{\mathrm{pl}}(\alpha H^{2}+\beta\dot{H}), whereas, in model two, by r_MR=3M_pl(\fraca6 R+g[(H)\ddot]H^-1)\rho_{\mathrm{MR}}=3M_{\mathrm{pl}}(\frac{\alpha}{6} R+\gamma\ddot{H}H^{-1}). We find that they can explain both dark matter and dark energy successfully. A constant equation of state of dark energy is obtained in model one, which means that it gives the same background evolution as the wCDM model, while model two can give an evolutionary equation of state of dark energy with the phantom divide line crossing in the near past.
