GROUP ANALYSIS OF SYSTEM EQUATIONS,SYMMETRY REACTION-DIFFUSION BRUSSELATOR

General formulas of group classification of the system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations(SNRDE) with two unknown functions and four independent variables are given. Group classifying equations of the traveling wave system of-equations corresponding to SNRDE are also obtained.When these results are applied to analyzing Brusselator, we dis-covered that the system of differential equations describing it has only invariant group of spacetime translation.     

Passive scalars,three-dimensional volume-preserving maps,and chaos

The dynamics of a medium-sized particle (passive scalar) suspended in a general time-periodic incompressible fluid flow can be described by three-dimensional volume-preserving maps. In this paper, these maps are studied in limiting cases in which some of the variables change very little in each iteration and others change quite a lot. The former are called slow variables or actions, the latter fast variables or angles. The maps are classified by their number of actions. For maps with only one action we find strong evidence for the existence of invariant surfaces that survive the nonlinear perturbation in a KAM-like way. On the other hand, for the two-action case the motion is confined to invariant lines that break for arbitrary small size of the nonlinearity. Instead, we find that adiabatic invariant surfaces emerge and typically intersect the resonance sheet of the fast motion. At these intersections surfaces are locally broken and transitions from one to another can occur. We call this process, which is analogous to Arnold diffusion, singularity-induced diffusion. It is characteristic of two-action maps. In one-action maps, this diffusion is blocked by KAM-like surfaces.On leave of absence from the Departamento de Fisica, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, (1990), La Plata, Argentina.     

Generalized Canonical Noether Theorem and Poincare—Cartan Integral Invariant ofr a System with a Singular High—Order Lagrangian and an Application

Based on the canonical action,a generalized canonical first Noether theorem and Poicare-Cartan integralinvariant for a system with a singular high-order Lagrangian are derived.It is worth while to point out that the constraints are invariant under the total variation of canonical variables including time.We can also deduce the result,which differs from the previous work to reuire that the constraints are invariant under the simultaneous variations of canonical variables.A counter example to a conjecture of the Dirac for a system with a singular high-order Lagrangian is given,in which there is no linearization of constraint.     

Numerical Solutions to the Partially Separated,Equal-Mass,Wick-Cutkosky Model

We discuss a numerical technique for solving four-dimensional, relativistic, bound-state, two-body equations that have not been completely separated. The angular variables are first separated what is always possible for a rotationally invariant system. The resulting partially separated equation is, in general, a set of coupled integral or partial differential equations in two variables that is solved numerically by expressing the solutions in terms of B-splines. We demonstrate the efficacy of the method by solving the partially separated Bethe-Salpeter equation for the equal-mass, Wick-Cutkosky model in the ladder approximation.

Group Invariant Solutions Without Transversality

We present a generalization of Lie's method for finding the group invariant solutions to a system of partial differential equations. Our generalization relaxes the standard transversality assumption and encompasses the common situation where the reduced differential equations for the group invariant solutions involve both fewer dependent and independent variables. The theoretical basis for our method is provided by a general existence theorem for the invariant sections, both local and global, of a bundle on which a finite dimensional Lie group acts. A simple and natural extension of our characterization of invariant sections leads to an intrinsic characterization of the reduced equations for the group invariant solutions for a system of differential equations. The characterization of both the invariant sections and the reduced equations are summarized schematically by the kinematic and dynamic reduction diagrams and are illustrated by a number of examples from fluid mechanics, harmonic maps, and general relativity. This work also provides the theoretical foundations for a further detailed study of the reduced equations for group invariant solutions. Received: 16 September 1999 / Accepted: 4 February 2000     

Separability,gauge invariance and nonsuperluminality in direct interaction dynamics

We discuss the classical mechanics of relativistic systems with direct interaction. We show that various desiderata can all be accommodated in the single time approach by restricting the observables to the gauge invariant variables. We show how such observables can be constructed in general. We explicitly construct position observables in a general system and show that they lead to separable, invariant world lines. Nonsuperluminality is explicitly demonstrated for two body systems interacting via central forces of semibounded magnitude provided they ensure timelike canonical momenta. For two particles, our results reproduce the usual solution in covariant equal-time gauge.     

Combinatorial Space from Loop Quantum Gravity

The canonical quantization of diffeomorphism invariant theories of connections in terms of loop variables is revisited. Such theories include general relativity described in terms of Ashtekar-Barbero variables and extension to Yang-Mills fields (with or without fermions) coupled to gravity. It is argued that the operators induced by classical diffeomorphism invariant or covariant functions are respectively invariant or covariant under a suitable completion of the diffeomorphism group. The canonical quantization in terms of loop variables described here, yields a representation of the algebra of observables in a separable Hilbert space. Furthermore, the resulting quantum theory is equivalent to a model for diffeomorphism invariant gauge theories which replaces space with a manifestly combinatorial object.

Invariant Solutions of Inhomogeneous Universe with Electromagnetic Field in Lyra Geometry

The present study deals with the cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models for perfect fluid distribution with electro-magnetic field in Lyra geometry. Lie group analysis has been used to identify the generators (symmetries) that leave the given system of partial differential equations (field equations) invariant. With the help of canonical variables associated with these generators, the assigned system of partial differential equations is reduced to an ordinary differential equations whose simple solutions provide nontrivial solutions of the original system. They obtained a new class of invariant (similarity) solutions by considering the potentials of metric and displacement field are functions of coordinates t and x. The physical behavior of the derived models are also discussed.     

Invariant realization of functional integration over a local gauge group

An invariant functional formulation of the nonlinear chiral theories as well as of their generalizations is developed. To guarantee the manifest invariance of the generating functional under different choices of the local coordinates in the inner space (parametrization) new variables are utilized which are the left side of the classical equations of motions (with or without the source). In terms of the new variables an invariant regularization is introduced and an invariant perturbation theory is developed.     

Measurement of Z/\gamma^* production in compton scattering of quasi-real photons

The process is studied with the OPAL detector at LEP at a centre of mass energy of = 189 GeV. The cross-section times the branching ratio of the Z/ decaying into hadrons is measured within Lorentz invariant kinematic limits to be pb for invariant masses of the hadronic system between 5 GeV and 60 GeV and pb for hadronic masses above 60 GeV. The differential cross-sections of the Mandelstam variables , and are measured and compared with the predictions from the Monte Carlo generators grc4f and PYTHIA. From this, based on a factorisation ansatz, the total and differential cross-sections for the subprocess are derived. Received: 16 July 2001 / Published online: 5 April 2002     

Quantization of non-abelian gauge theory. I. Gauge invariant Hamiltonian formulation

An essentially gauge invariant canonical Hamiltonian formulation is given for a non-Abelian Yang-Mills system coupled to a fermion field. The Hamiltonian contains only unconstrained dynamical variables, which in the quantum version satisfy canonical equal time commutation relations.     

Generalized Noether theorems in canonical formalism for field theories and their applications

A generalization of Noether's first theorem in phase space for an invariant system with a singular Lagrangian in field theories is derived and a generalization of Noether's second theorem in phase space for a noninvariant system in field theories is deduced. A counterexample is given to show that Dirac's conjecture fails. Some preliminary applications of the generalized Noether second theorem to the gauge field theories are discussed. It is pointed out that for certain systems with a noninvariant Lagrangian in canonical variables for field theories there is also a Dirac constraint. Along the trajectory of motion for a gauge-invariant system some supplementary relations of canonical variables and Lagrange multipliers connected with secondary first-class constraints are obtained.     

Time-dependent Hilbert spaces, geometric phases, and general covariance in quantum mechanics

We investigate consequences of allowing the Hilbert space of a quantum system to have a time-dependent metric. For a given possibly nonstationary quantum system, we show that the requirement of having a unitary Schrödinger time-evolution identifies the metric with a positive-definite (Ermakov–Lewis) dynamical invariant of the system. Therefore the geometric phases are determined by the metric. We construct a unitary map relating a given time-independent Hilbert space to the time-dependent Hilbert space defined by a positive-definite dynamical invariant. This map defines a transformation that changes the metric of the Hilbert space but leaves the Hamiltonian of the system invariant. We propose to identify this phenomenon with a quantum mechanical analogue of the principle of general covariance of general relativity. We comment on the implications of this principle for geometrically equivalent quantum systems and investigate the underlying symmetry group.     

On critical phenomena in interacting growth systems. Part I: General

Components which are placed in a finite or infinite space have integer numbers as possible states. They interact in a discrete time in a local deterministic way, in addition to which all the components' states are incremented at every time step by independent identically distributed random variables. We assume that the deterministic interaction function is translation-invariant and monotonic and that its values are between the minimum and the maximum of its arguments. Theorems 1 and 2 (based on propositions which we give in a separate Part II), give sufficient conditions for a system to have an invariant distribution or a bounded mean. Other statements, proved herein, provide background for them by giving conditions when a system has no invariant distribution or the mean of its components' states tends to infinity. All our main results use one and the same geometrical criterion.     

Solutions of Yang's EuclideanR-gauge equations and self-duality

Under some assumptions and transformations of variables, Yang's equations forR-gauge fields on Euclidean space lead to conformally invariant equations permitting one to obtain infinitely many other solutions from any solution of these conformally invariant equations. These conformally invariant equations closely resemble the mathematically interesting generalized Lund-Regge equations. Some exact solutions of these conformally in variant equations are obtained. Except for some singular situations, these solutions are self-dual.     

Separation of variables and symmetry operators for the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation on curved spacetime

The separability of the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation and the Laplace-Beltrami equation are contrasted on two classes of Petrov type D curved spacetimes, showing that neither implies the other. The second-order symmetry operators corresponding to the separation of variables of the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon equation are constructed in both classes and the most general second-order symmetry operator for the conformally invariant Klein-Gordon operator on a general curved background is characterized tensorially in terms of a valence two-symmetric tensor satisfying the conformal Killing tensor equation and further constraints.     

Jump of the adiabatic invariant at a separatrix crossing: Degenerate cases

An expression for the quasi-random jump of the adiabatic invariant at a separatrix crossing is obtained for a slow-fast Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom in the case when the separatrix passes through a degenerate saddle point in the phase plane of the fast variables. The general case with an arbitrary degree of degeneracy was considered, and this degree is assumed to remain fixed in the process of evolution of the slow variables. The typical value of the jump is larger than in the non-degenerate case studied earlier. Though strongly degenerate, such a setting can be relevant for physical problems. The influence of the asymmetry of a phase portrait on the magnitude of adiabatic invariant jumps was considered as well. An example of this kind is studied, namely the motion of ions in current sheets with complex inner structure.
