Stochastic Porous Media Equations and Self-Organized Criticality: Convergence to the Critical State in all Dimensions

If X = X(t, ξ) is the solution to the stochastic porous media equation in O ì R^d, 1 ￡ d ￡ 3,{\mathcal{O}\subset \mathbf{R}^d, 1\le d\le 3,} modelling the self-organized criticality (Barbu et al. in Commun Math Phys 285:901–923, 2009) and X _c is the critical state, then it is proved that ò^￥₀m(O\O^t₀)dt < ￥,\mathbbP-a.s.{\int^{\infty}_0m(\mathcal{O}{\setminus}\mathcal{O}^t_0)dt<{\infty},\mathbb{P}\hbox{-a.s.}} and lim_t?￥ ò_O|X(t)-X_c|dx = l < ￥, \mathbbP-a.s.{\lim_{t\to{\infty}} \int_\mathcal{O}|X(t)-X_c|d\xi=\ell<{\infty},\ \mathbb{P}\hbox{-a.s.}} Here, m is the Lebesgue measure and O^t_c{\mathcal{O}^t_c} is the critical region {x ? O; X(t,x)=X_c(x)}{\{\xi\in\mathcal{O}; X(t,\xi)=X_c(\xi)\}} and X _c (ξ) ≤ X(0, ξ) a.e. x ? O{\xi\in\mathcal{O}}. If the stochastic Gaussian perturbation has only finitely many modes (but is still function-valued), lim_{t ? ￥} ò_K|X(t)-X_c|dx = 0{\lim_{t \to {\infty}} \int_K|X(t)-X_c|d\xi=0} exponentially fast for all compact K ì O{K\subset\mathcal{O}} with probability one, if the noise is sufficiently strong. We also recover that in the deterministic case ℓ = 0.     

A Fuchsian Matrix Differential Equation for Selberg Correlation Integrals

We characterize averages of ?_l=1^N|x - t_l|^{a- 1}{\prod_{l=1}^N|x - t_l|^{\alpha - 1}} with respect to the Selberg density, further constrained so that t_l ? [0,x] (l=1,...,q){t_l \in [0,x] (l=1,\dots,q)} and t_l ? [x,1] (l=q+1,...,N){t_l \in [x,1] (l=q+1,\dots,N)} , in terms of a basis of solutions of a particular Fuchsian matrix differential equation. By making use of the Dotsenko-Fateev integrals, the explicit form of the connection matrix from the Frobenius type power series basis to this basis is calculated, thus allowing us to explicitly compute coefficients in the power series expansion of the averages. From these we are able to compute power series for the marginal distributions of the t_j (j=1,...,N){t_j (j=1,\dots,N)} . In the case q = 0 and α < 1 we compute the explicit leading order term in the x ? 0{x \to 0} asymptotic expansion, which is of interest to the study of an effect known as singularity dominated strong fluctuations. In the case q = 0 and a ? \mathbbZ⁺{\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}^+} , and with the absolute values removed, the average is a polynomial, and we demonstrate that its zeros are highly structured.     

Asymptotics for Large Time of Global Solutions to the Generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation

We study the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP $ \left\{\alignedat2 &u_t + u_{xxx} + \sigma\partial_x^{-1}u_{yy}= - (u^{\rho})_x, &;&;\qquad (t,x,y) \in {\bold R}\times {\bold R}^2,\\ \vspace{.5\jot} &u(0,x,y) = u_0 (x,y),&;&; \qquad (x,y) \in{\bold R}^2, \endalignedat \right. \TAG KP where † = 1 or † = m 1. When „ = 2 and † = m 1, (KP) is known as the KPI equation, while „ = 2, † = + 1 corresponds to the KPII equation. The KP equation models the propagation along the x-axis of nonlinear dispersive long waves on the surface of a fluid, when the variation along the y-axis proceeds slowly [10]. The case „ = 3, † = m 1 has been found in the modeling of sound waves in antiferromagnetics [15]. We prove that if „ S 3 is an integer and the initial data are sufficiently small, then the solution u of (KP) satisfies the following estimates: ||u(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 (log(2+|t|))^k, ||u_x(t)||_￥ ￡ C (1 + |t|)^-1 \|u(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} (\log (2+|t|))^{\kappa}, \|u_x(t)\|_\infty \le C (1 + |t|)^{-1} for all t ] R, where s = 1 if „ = 3 and s = 0 if „ S 4. We also find the large time asymptotics for the solution.     

A Certain Necessary Condition of Potential Blow up for Navier-Stokes Equations

We show that a necessary condition for T to be a potential blow up time is lim_{t- T} ||v(·,t)||_L3=￥{\lim\nolimits_{t\uparrow T} \|v(\cdot,t)\|_{L_3}=\infty}.     

N-Vortex Equilibria for Ideal Fluids in Bounded Planar Domains and New Nodal Solutions of the sinh-Poisson and the Lane-Emden-Fowler Equations

We prove the existence of equilibria of the N-vortex Hamiltonian in a bounded domain ${\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2}We prove the existence of equilibria of the N-vortex Hamiltonian in a bounded domain W ì \mathbbR²{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2} , which is not necessarily simply connected. On an arbitrary bounded domain we obtain new equilibria for N = 3 or N = 4. If Ω has an axial symmetry we obtain a symmetric equilibrium for each N ? \mathbbN{N\in\mathbb{N}} . We also obtain new stream functions solving the sinh-Poisson equation -Dy = rsinhy{-\Delta\psi=\rho\sinh\psi} in Ω with Dirichlet boundary conditions for ρ > 0 small. The stream function y_r{\psi_\rho} induces a stationary velocity field v_r{v_\rho} solving the Euler equation in Ω. On an arbitrary bounded domain we obtain velocitiy fields having three or four counter-rotating vortices. If Ω has an axial symmetry we obtain for each N a velocity field v_r{v_\rho} that has a chain of N counter-rotating vortices, analogous to the Mallier-Maslowe row of counter-rotating vortices in the plane. Our methods also yield new nodal solutions for other semilinear Dirichlet problems, in particular for the Lane-Emden-Fowler equation -Du=|u|^p-1u{-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u} in Ω with p large.     

Upper Bounds for Coarsening for the Deep Quench Obstacle Problem

The deep quench obstacle problem models phase separation at low temperatures. During phase separation, domains of high and low concentration are formed, then coarsen or grow in average size. Of interest is the time dependence of the dominant length scales of the system. Relying on recent results by Novick-Cohen and Shishkov (Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. B 25:251–272, 2009), we demonstrate upper bounds for coarsening for the deep quench obstacle problem, with either constant or degenerate mobility. For the case of constant mobility, we obtain upper bounds of the form t ^1/3 at early times as well as at times t for which E(t) ￡ \frac(1-[`(u)]<sup>2</sup>)4E(t)\le\frac{(1-\overline{u}^{2})}{4}, where E(t) denotes the free energy. For the case of degenerate mobility, we get upper bounds of the form t <sup>1/3</sup> or t <sup>1/4</sup> at early times, depending on the value of E(0), as well as bounds of the form t <sup>1/4</sup> whenever E(t) ￡ \frac(1-[`(u)]²)4E(t)\le\frac{(1-\overline{u}^{2})}{4}.     

Greens functions,Hamiltonians and modular automorphisms

We demonstrate, under circumstances that allow the construction of a G(A, B; t) = w(As_t (B))G(A, B; t) = \omega (A\sigma _t (B))     

Dielectric relaxation and ionic conductivity studies of Ag<Subscript>2</Subscript>ZnP<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>7</Subscript>

The complex impedance of the Ag₂ZnP₂O₇ compound has been investigated in the temperature range 419–557 K and in the frequency range 200 Hz–5 MHz. The Z′ and Z′ versus frequency plots are well fitted to an equivalent circuit model. Dielectric data were analyzed using complex electrical modulus M* for the sample at various temperatures. The modulus plot can be characterized by full width at half-height or in terms of a non-exponential decay function f( \textt ) = exp( - \textt/t )^b \phi \left( {\text{t}} \right) = \exp {\left( { - {\text{t}}/\tau } \right)^\beta } . The frequency dependence of the conductivity is interpreted in terms of Jonscher’s law: s( w) = s_\textdc + \textAwⁿ \sigma \left( \omega \right) = {\sigma_{\text{dc}}} + {\text{A}}{\omega^n} . The conductivity σ _dc follows the Arrhenius relation. The near value of activation energies obtained from the analysis of M″, conductivity data, and equivalent circuit confirms that the transport is through ion hopping mechanism dominated by the motion of the Ag⁺ ions in the structure of the investigated material.     

Analysis of the X(1835) and related baryonium states with Bethe-Salpeter equation

In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the baryon-antibaryon bound states p [`(p)] \bar{{p}} , S \Sigma [`(S)] \bar{{\Sigma}} , X \Xi [`(X)] \bar{{\Xi}} , L \Lambda [`(L)] \bar{{\Lambda}} , p [`(N)] \bar{{N}}(1440) , S \Sigma [`(S)] \bar{{\Sigma}}(1660) , X \Xi [`(X)]<sup>￠</sup> \bar{{\Xi}}^{{\prime}}_{} and L \Lambda [`(L)] \bar{{\Lambda}}(1600) with the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The numerical results indicate that the p [`(p)] \bar{{p}} , S \Sigma [`(S)] \bar{{\Sigma}} , X \Xi [`(X)] \bar{{\Xi}} , p [`(N)] \bar{{N}}(1440) , S \Sigma [`(S)] \bar{{\Sigma}}(1660) , X \Xi [`(X)]^￠ \bar{{\Xi}}^{{\prime}}_{} bound states maybe exist, and the new resonances X(1835) and X(2370) can be tentatively identified as the p [`(p)] \bar{{p}} and p [`(N)] \bar{{N}}(1440) (or N(1400)[`(p)] \bar{{p}} bound states, respectively, with some gluon constituents, and the new resonance X(2120) may be a pseudoscalar glueball. On the other hand, the Regge trajectory favors identifying the X(1835) , X(2120) and X(2370) as the excited h^￠ \eta^{{\prime}}_{}(958) mesons with the radial quantum numbers n = 3 , 4 and 5, respectively.     

Single flexible and semiflexible polymers at high shear: Non-monotonic and non-universal stretching response

Using Brownian hydrodynamic simulation techniques, we study single polymers in shear. We investigate the effects of hydrodynamic interactions, excluded volume, chain extensibility, chain length and semiflexibility. The well-known stretching behavior with increasing shear rate [(g)\dot] \dot{{\gamma}} is only observed for low shear [(g)\dot] \dot{{\gamma}} < [(g)\dot]^max \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\max}}_{} , where [(g)\dot]^max \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\max}}_{} is the shear rate at maximum polymer extension. For intermediate shear rates [(g)\dot]^max \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\max}}_{} < [(g)\dot] \dot{{\gamma}} < [(g)\dot]^min \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\min}}_{} the radius of gyration decreases with increasing shear with minimum chain extension at [(g)\dot]^min \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\min}}_{} . For even higher shear [(g)\dot]^min \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\min}}_{} < [(g)\dot] \dot{{\gamma}} the chain exhibits again shear stretching. This non-monotonic stretching behavior is obtained in the presence of excluded-volume and hydrodynamic interactions for sufficiently long and inextensible flexible polymers, while it is completely absent for Gaussian extensible chains. We establish the heuristic scaling laws [(g)\dot]^max \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\max}}_{} ∼ N ^-1.4 and [(g)\dot]^min \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\min}}_{} ∼ N ^0.7 as a function of chain length N , which implies that the regime of shear-induced chain compression widens with increasing chain length. These scaling laws also imply that the chain response at high shear rates is not a universal function of the Weissenberg number Wi = [(g)\dot] \dot{{\gamma}} t \tau anymore, where t \tau is the equilibrium relaxation time. For semiflexible polymers a similar non-monotonic stretching response is obtained. By extrapolating the simulation results to lengths corresponding to experimentally studied DNA molecules, we find that the shear rate [(g)\dot]^max \dot{{\gamma}}^{{\max}}_{} to reach the compression regime is experimentally realizable.     

Counter-ions at charged walls: Two-dimensional systems

We study equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical point counter-ions, formulated on 2D Euclidean space with logarithmic Coulomb interactions (infinite number of particles) or on the cylinder surface (finite particle numbers), in the vicinity of a single uniformly charged line (one single double layer), or between two such lines (interacting double layers). The weak-coupling Poisson-Boltzmann theory, which applies when the coupling constant G \Gamma is small, is briefly recapitulated (the coupling constant is defined as G \Gamma o \equiv b \beta e ² , where b \beta is the inverse temperature, and e the counter-ion charge). The opposite limit ( G \Gamma ? \rightarrow ∞ is treated by using a recent method based on an exact expansion around the ground-state Wigner crystal of counter-ions. These two limiting results are compared at intermediary values of the coupling constant G \Gamma = 2g \gamma (g \gamma = 1, 2, 3) , to exact results derived within a 1D lattice representation of 2D Coulomb systems in terms of anti-commuting field variables. The models (density profile, pressure) are solved exactly for any particles numbers N at G \Gamma = 2 and up to relatively large finite N at G \Gamma = 4 and 6. For the one-line geometry, the decay of the density profile at asymptotic distance from the line undergoes a fundamental change with respect to the mean-field behavior at G \Gamma = 6 . The like-charge attraction regime, possible for large G \Gamma but precluded at mean-field level, survives for G \Gamma = 4 and 6, but disappears at G \Gamma = 2 .     

Low Temperature Properties for Correlation Functions in Classical N-Vector Spin Models

We obtain convergent multi-scale expansions for the one-and two-point correlation functions of the low temperature lattice classical N - vector spin model in d S 3 dimensions, N S 2. The Gibbs factor is taken as exp[-b(1/2 ||?f||² +l/8 || |f|² - 1 ||² + v/2||f- h||²)], \exp [-\beta (1/2 ||\partial \phi||^2 +\lambda/8 ||\, |\phi|^2 - 1 ||^2 + v/2||\phi - h||^2)], where f(x), h ? R^N\phi(x), h \in R^N, x ? Z^dx \in Z^d, |h|=1, b < ￥|h|=1, \beta < \infty, l 3 ￥\lambda \geq \infty are large and 0 < v h 1. In the thermodynamic and v ˉ 0v \downarrow 0 limits, with h = e₁, and j L ‘^½ ‘, the expansion gives áf₁(x)? = 1+0(1/b^1/2)\langle \phi_1(x)\rangle = 1+0(1/\beta^{1/2}) (spontaneous magnetization), áf₁(x)f_i(y)? = 0\langle \phi_1(x)\phi_i(y)\rangle=0, áf_i (x)f_i (y)? = c₀ D^-1(x,y)+R(x,y)\langle \phi_i (x)\phi_i (y)\rangle = c_0 \Delta^{-1}(x,y)+R(x,y) (Goldstone Bosons), i = 2, 3, ?, Ni= 2, 3,\,\ldots, N, and áf₁(x)f₁(y)?^T=R￠(x,y)\langle \phi_1(x)\phi_1(y)\rangle^T=R'(x,y), where |R(x,y)||R(x,y)|, |R￠(x,y)| < 0(1)(1+|x-y|)^d-2+r|R'(x,y)|< 0(1)(1+|x-y|)^{d-2+\rho} for some „ > 0, and c₀ is aprecisely determined constant.     

Dielectric spectroscopy study of the new compound [C<Subscript>12</Subscript>H<Subscript>17</Subscript>N<Subscript>2</Subscript>]<Subscript>2</Subscript>CdCl<Subscript>4</Subscript>

The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the compound 2,4,4-trimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[b] [1,4] diazepin-1-ium tetrachlorocadmiate in the different phases follows the Arrhenius law. The imaginary part of the permittivity constant is analyzed with the Cole–Cole formalism. In the temperature range 348–394 K, the activation energy of conductivity obtained from complex permittivity in regions I and II are, respectively, 1.03 and 0.33 eV, and E _m (in regions I and II are, respectively, 0.97 and 0.36 eV) obtained from the modulus spectra is close, suggesting that the ion transport is probably due to a hopping mechanism. The Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts function, j(t) = exp( - ( \fractt_\textKWW )^b ) \varphi (t) = \exp \left( { - {{\left( {\frac{t}{{{\tau_{\text{KWW}}}}}} \right)}^\beta }} \right) , and the coupling model are utilized for analyzing electric modulus at various temperatures. The decreasing of β at 373 K is due to approaching the temperatures of change in the conduction mechanism of the sample.     

Chiral color quark symmetry and possible constraints on the <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>′-boson mass from tevatron and LHC data

A gauge model featuring a chiral color symmetry of quarks was considered, and possible manifestations of this symmetry in proton-antiproton and proton-proton collisions at the Tevatron and LHC energies were studied. The cross section s_{t[`(t)]</sub>\sigma _{t\bar t} for the production of t[`(t)]t\bar t quark pairs at the Tevatron and the forward-backward asymmetry A_FB<sup>p[`(p)]</sup>A_{FB}^{p\bar p} in this process were calculated and analyzed with allowance for the contributions of the G′-boson predicted by the chiral color symmetry of quarks, the G′-boson massm <sub>G′</sub> and the mixing angle θ <sub>G</sub> being treated as free parameters of the model. Limits on m <sub>G′</sub> versus θ <sub>G</sub> were studied on the basis of data from the Tevatron on s<sub>t[`(t)]}\sigma _{t\bar t} and A_FB^p[`(p)]A_{FB}^{p\bar p}, and the region compatible with these data within one standard deviation was found in the m _G′-θ _G plane. The region ofm _G′-mass values that is appropriate for observing the G′-boson at LHC is discussed.     

Teleportation of a Pure EPR State via GHZ-like State

This study proposes a novel teleportation using the GHZ-like state \frac12(|001?+|010?+|100?+|111?)\frac{1}{2}(|001\rangle+|010\rangle+|100\rangle+|111\rangle), in which a pure EPR state α|01〉+β|10〉 can be perfectly teleported. Furthermore, the teleportation scheme is applied to construct a quantum secret state sharing (QSSS) protocol.     

Primakoff effect in $ \eta$ -photoproduction off protons

We analyse data on forward h \eta -meson photoproduction off a proton target and extract the h \eta ? \rightarrow g \gamma g \gamma decay width utilizing the Primakoff effect. The hadronic amplitude that enters into our analysis is strongly constrained because it is fixed from a global fit to available g \gamma p ? \rightarrow p h \eta data for differential cross-sections and polarizations. We compare our results with present information on the two-photon h \eta -decay from the literature. We provide predictions for future PrimEx experiments at Jefferson Laboratory in order to motivate further studies.     

Temperature stable low loss PTFE/rutile composites using secondary polymer

Rutile filled PTFE composites have been fabricated through Sigma Mixing, Extrusion, Calendering and Hot pressing (SMECH) process. Dielectric constant (e_r￠\varepsilon_{r}') and loss tangent (tan δ) of filled composites at microwave frequency region were measured by waveguide cavity perturbation technique using a Vector Network Analyzer. The temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (t_er￠\tau_{\varepsilon_{r}'}) was measured in the 0–100°C temperature range. In order to tailor the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant of the composite, thermoplastic Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has been used as a secondary polymer. Flexible laminate having a dielectric constant, e_r￠ ~ 10.4\varepsilon_{r}'\sim10.4, loss tangent tan δ∼0.0045 and t_er￠ ~ -40 ppm/K\tau_{\varepsilon_{r}'}\sim-40\mbox{ ppm}/\mbox{K} was realized in Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE)/rutile composites with the addition of 8 wt% PEEK. The reduction in t_er￠\tau_{\varepsilon_{r}'} is mainly attributed to the positive t_er￠\tau_{\varepsilon_{r}'} of PEEK and increased interface region in the composites as a result of the PEEK addition.     

Propagation of electromagnetic waves generated by moving sources in dispersive media

The propagation of electromagnetic waves issued by modulated moving sources of the form j( t,x ) = a( t )e ^{- iw₀ t} [(x)\dot]₀ ( t )d( x - x₀ ( t ) )j\left( {t,x} \right) = a\left( t \right)e^{ - i\omega _0 t} \dot x_0 \left( t \right)\delta \left( {x - x_0 \left( t \right)} \right) is considered, where j(t, x) stands for the current density vector, x = (x ₁, x ₂, x ₃) ∈ ℝ³ for the space variables, t ∈ ℝ for time, t → x ₀(t) ∈ ℝ³ for the vector function defining the motion of the source, ω ₀ for the eigenfrequency of the source, a(t) for a narrow-band amplitude, and δ for the standard δ function. Suppose that the media under consideration are dispersive. This means that the electric and magnetic permittivity ɛ(ω), μ(ω) depends on the frequency ω. We obtain a representation of electromagnetic fields in the form of time-frequency oscillating integrals whose phase contains a large parameter λ > 0 characterizing the slowness of the change of the amplitude a(t) and the velocity [(x)\dot]₀ ( t )\dot x_0 \left( t \right) and a large distance between positions of the source and the receiver. Applying the two-dimensional stationary phase method to the integrals, we obtain explicit formulas for the electromagnetic field and for the Doppler effects. As an application of our approach, we consider the propagation of electromagnetic waves produced by moving source in a cold nonmagnetized plasma and the Cherenkov radiation in dispersive media.     

Deformed Algebras from Elliptic sl(N) Algebras

We extend to the sl(N)sl(N) case the results that we previously obtained on the construction of W_q,p{\cal W}_{q,p} algebras from the elliptic algebra A_q,p([^(sl)](2)_c){\cal A}_{q,p}(\widehat{sl}(2)_{c}). The elliptic algebra \elp\elp at the critical level c= m N has an extended center containing trace-like operators t(z). Families of Poisson structures indexed by N(Nу)/2 integers, defining q-deformations of the W_N{\cal W}_{N} algebra, are constructed. The operators t(z) also close an exchange algebra when (-p^\sfrac12)^NM = q^-c-N(-p^\sfrac{1}{2})^{NM} = q^{-c-N} for M ? \ZZM\in\ZZ. It becomes Abelian when in addition p= q^Nh, where h is a non-zero integer. The Poisson structures obtained in these classical limits contain different q-deformed W_N{\cal W}_{N} algebras depending on the parity of h, characterizing the exchange structures at p p q^Nh as new W_q,p(sl(N)){\cal W}_{q,p}(sl(N)) algebras.
