Lie Point Symmetries of Differential-Difference Equations

In this paper, the classical Lie group approach is extended to find some Lie point symmetries of differentialdifference equations. It reveals that the obtained Lie point symmetries can constitute a Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebra.     

Attention Mechanisms and Their Applications to Complex Systems

Deep learning models and graphics processing units have completely transformed the field of machine learning. Recurrent neural networks and long short-term memories have been successfully used to model and predict complex systems. However, these classic models do not perform sequential reasoning, a process that guides a task based on perception and memory. In recent years, attention mechanisms have emerged as a promising solution to these problems. In this review, we describe the key aspects of attention mechanisms and some relevant attention techniques and point out why they are a remarkable advance in machine learning. Then, we illustrate some important applications of these techniques in the modeling of complex systems.     

Symplectic Symmetries of Hamiltonian Systems

Abstract

We prove a generalization to the case of s × s matrix linear differential operators of the classical theorem of E. Cotton giving necessary and sufficient conditions for equivalence of eigenvalue problems for scalar linear differential operators. The conditions for equivalence to a matrix Schrödinger operator are derived and formulated geometrically in terms of vanishing conditions on the curvature of a gl(s, R)-valued connection. These conditions are illustrated on a class of matrix differential operators of physical interest, arising by symmetry reduction from Dirac’s equation for a spinor field minimally coupled with a cylindrically symmetric magnetic field.     

Approximate Symmetries and Conservation Laws with Applications

The relationship between the approximateLie-Backlund symmetries and the approximate conservedforms of a perturbed equation is studied. It is shownthat a hierarchy of identities exists by which thecomponents of the approximate conserved vector or theassociated approximate Lie-Backlund symmetries aredetermined by recursive formulas. The results areapplied to certain classes of linear and nonlinear waveequations as well as a perturbed Korteweg-de Vriesequation. We construct approximate conservation laws forthese equations without regard to aLagrangian.     

Some Quantum Symmetries and Their Breaking II

We consider symmetry breaking in the context of vector bundle theory, which arises quite naturally not only when attempting to “gauge” symmetry groups, but also as a means of localizing those global symmetry breaking effects known as spontaneous. We review such spontaneous symmetry breaking first for a simplified version of the Goldstone scenario for the case of global symmetries, and then in a localized form which is applied to a derivation of some of the phenomena associated with superconduction in both its forms, type I and type II. We then extend these procedures to effect the Higgs mechanism of electroweak theory, and finally we describe an extension to the flavor symmetries of the lightest quarks, including a brief discussion of CP-violation in the neutral kaon system. A largely self-contained primer of vector bundle theory is provided in Sect. 4, which supplies most of the results required thereafter.     

Some Quantum Symmetries and Their Breaking I

We give an account of the genesis of the gauge groups of the standard model plus gravity and their concomitant interaction terms ab initio from a consideration of the quantization of certain classical discrete symmetries. We indicate how the resulting symmetries may be gauged upon a semi-quantized non manifold-like model of spacetime. This model is briefly introduced and some of its pre- or quantum geometry is developed from first principles. The formalism leads to a view of gauge interaction that admits an apparently new form of symmetry breaking that accounts, among other things, for the chiral breaking of the weak interaction. (A sequel will give an account of a range of mechanisms to break other symmetries arising in the standard model, and will consider some of their experimental consequences.)     

Theory of Tensor Invariants of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems. II. Theorem on Symmetries and Its Applications

The theorem on symmetries is proved that states that a Liouville-integrable Hamiltonian system is non-degene\-rate in Kolmogorov's sense and has compact invariant submanifolds if and only if the corresponding Lie algebra of symmetries is abelian. The theorem on symmetries has applications to the characterization problem, to the integrable hierarchies problem, to the necessary conditions for the strong dynamical compatibility problem, and to the problem on master symmetries. The invariant necessary conditions for the non-degenerate C-integrability in Kolmogorov's sense of a given dynamical system V are derived. It is proved that the C-integrable Hamiltonian system is non-degenerate in the iso-energetic sense if and only if the corresponding Lie algebra of the iso-energetic conformal symmetries is abelian. An extended concept of integrability of Hamiltonian systems on the symplectic manifolds M ⁿ , n= 2k, is introduced. The concept of integrability describes the Hamiltonian systems that have quasi-periodic dynamics on tori or on toroidal cylinders of an arbitrary dimension . This concept includes, as a particular case, all Hamiltonian systems that are integrable in Liouville's classical sense, for which . The A-B-C-cohomologies are introduced for dynamical systems on smooth manifolds. Received: 16 January 1996 / Accepted: 3 July 1996     

Pseudo-Hermitian Systems,Involutive Symmetries and Pseudofermions

We have briefly analyzed the existence of the pseudofermionic structure of multilevel pseudo-Hermitian systems with odd time-reversal and higher order involutive symmetries. We have shown that 2N-level Hamiltonians with N- order eigenvalue degeneracy can be represented in the oscillator-like form in terms of pseudofermionic creation and annihilation operators for both real and complex eigenvalues. The example of most general four-level traceless Hamiltonian with odd time-reversal symmetry, which is an extension of the SO(5) Hermitian Hamiltonian, is considered in greater and explicit detail.

Lie Point Symmetries and Exact Solutions of Couple KdV Equations

The simple Lie point symmetry reduction procedure is used to obtain infinitely many symmetries to a new integrable system of coupled KdV equations. Using some symmetry subalgebra of the equations, five types of the significant similarity reductions are obtained by virtue of the Lie group approach, and obtain abundant solutions of the coupled KdV equations, such as the solitary wave solution, exponential solution, rational solution, polynomial solution, etc.     

轴对称奇A核系统的强耦合临界点对称性

鉴于临界点对称性方法在描述原子核形状相变中的成功应用,在强耦合方案下对原有描述偶偶核球形到长椭形状相变的临界点对称性模型X（n）（n=3,4,5）进行扩展,据此建立描述轴对称奇A核系统的SX（n）临界点对称性。通过对X（n）模型与SX（n）模型的转动谱结构进行对比分析,揭示了SX（n）临界点模型的动力学结构受模型维数n的影响较小且更接近刚性转子的模型特征,这些模型特征进一步通过检验过渡区核素150,151,152,153Sm以及172,173,174,175Os中的相关转动带结构得到了初步证实。In view of the successful application of the methods based on critical point symmetries (CPSs) in nuclear shape phase transitions, the new CPSs named SX(n) are established in this work for axially-symmetric odd-A nuclei through extending the original X(n) CPSs with n=3,4,5, which were used to describe the spherical to prolate shape phase transitions in even-even nuclei, in the strong-coupling scheme. By comparing the spectral structures in between the X(n) and the SX(n) CPSs, it is revealed that the dynamical structures of SX(n) are closer to the rigid rotor and less changed with the model dimension in comparison with X(n). Moreover, these features of SX(n) are preliminarily verified by checking the rotational structures of 150,151,152,153Sm and 172,173,174,175Os nuclei.     

Duality and Hidden Symmetries in Interacting Particle Systems

In the context of Markov processes, both in discrete and continuous setting, we show a general relation between duality functions and symmetries of the generator. If the generator can be written in the form of a Hamiltonian of a quantum spin system, then the “hidden” symmetries are easily derived. We illustrate our approach in processes of symmetric exclusion type, in which the symmetry is of SU(2) type, as well as for the Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model for which we unveil its SU(1,1) symmetry. The KMP model is in turn an instantaneous thermalization limit of the energy process associated to a large family of models of interacting diffusions, which we call Brownian energy process (BEP) and which all possess the SU(1,1) symmetry. We treat in details the case where the system is in contact with reservoirs and the dual process becomes absorbing.     

Lie Symmetries and Non-Noether Conserved Quantities of Nonholonomic Systems

A new conservation theorem of the nonholonomic systems is studied. The conserved quantity is onlyconstructed in terms of a general Lie group of transformation vector of the dynamical equations. Firstly, we establish thedynamical equations of the nonholonomic systems and the determining equations of Lie symmetry. Next, the theore mof non-Noether conserved quantity is deduced. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the application of the result.     

Generalized Conformal Symmetries and Its Application of Hamilton Systems

In this paper the generalized conformal symmetries and conserved quantities by Lie point transformations of Hamilton systems are studied. The necessary and sufficient conditions of conformal symmetry by the action of infinitesimal Lie point transformations which are simultaneous Lie symmetry are given. This kind type determining equations of conformal symmetry of mechanical systems are studied. The Hojman conserved quantities of the Hamilton systems under infinitesimal special transformations are obtained. The relations between conformal symmetries and the Lie symmetries are derived for Hamilton systems. Finally, as application of the conformal symmetries, an illustration example is introduced.     

General Schlesinger Systems and Their Symmetry from the View Point of Twistor theory

Isomonodromic deformation of linear differential equations on ?¹ with regular and irregular singular points is considered from the view point of twistor theory. We give explicit form of isomonodromic deformation using the maximal abelian subgroup H of G = GL_N+1(?) which appeared in the theory of general hypergeometric functions on a Grassmannian manifold. This formulation enables us to obtain a group of symmetry for the nonlinear system which is an Weyl group analogue N_G (H)/H.     

Mei Symmetries and Lie Symmetries for Nonholonomic Controllable Mechanical Systems with Relativistic Rotational Variable Mass

The Mei symmetries and the Lie symmetries for nonholonomic controllable mechanical systems with relativistic rotational variable mass are studied. The differential equations of motion of the systems are established. The definition and criterion of the Mei symmetries and the Lie symmetries of the system are studied respectively. The necessary and sufficient condition under which the Mei symmetry is Lie symmetry is given. The condition under which the Mei symmetries can be led to a new kind of conserved quantity and the form of the conserved quantity are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
