Symmetry Breaking and Second Order Phase Transitions

In an earlier paper we showed that symmetry breaking could be induced in the triiodide ion by varying the solvent. Experiments and simulations suggest that protic solvents which can form hydrogen bonds with a negative ion cause symmetry breaking of the ion, so that the charge becomes concentrated at one end of the ion and the corresponding bond elongates. We suggested that one could draw an analogy between the mean field Ising model with free energy,     

Higher Order Corrections to the Asymptotic Perturbative Solution of a Schwinger–Dyson Equation

Building on our previous works on perturbative solutions to a Schwinger–Dyson for the massless Wess–Zumino model, we show how to compute 1/n corrections to its asymptotic behavior. The coefficients are analytically determined through a sum on all the poles of the Mellin transform of the one-loop diagram. We present results up to the fourth order in 1/n as well as a comparison with numerical results. Unexpected cancellations of zetas are observed in the solution, so that no even zetas appear and the weight of the coefficients is lower than expected, which suggests the existence of more structure in the theory.     

High—Dimensional Integrable Models with Infinitely Dimensional Virasoro—Type Symmetry Algebra

Using every realization of the Virasoro-type symmetry algebra[σ(f1),σ(f2)]=σ(f1f2-f2f1),we can obtain various high-dimensional integrable models under the meaning that they possess infinitely many symmetries,By means of a concrete realization ,many(3 1)-dimensional equations which possess Kac-Moody-Virasoro-type infinite dimensional symmetry algebras are obtained.     

Universal Large-Deviation Function of the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang Equation in One Dimension

Using the Bethe ansatz, we calculate the whole large-deviation function of the displacement of particles in the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on a ring. When the size of the ring is large, the central part of this large deviation function takes a scaling form independent of the density of particles. We suggest that this scaling function found for the ASEP is universal and should be characteristic of all the systems described by the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation in 1+1 dimension. Simulations done on two simple growth models are in reasonable agreement with this conjecture.

Periodic Waves of a Discrete Higher Order Nonlinear SchrSdinger Equation

The Hirota equation is a higher order extension of the nonlinear Schr6dinger equation by incorporating third order dispersion and one form of self steepening effect, New periodic waves for the discrete Hirota equation are given in terms of elliptic functions. The continuum limit converges to the analogous result for the continuous Hirota equation, while the long wave limit of these discrete periodic patterns reproduces the known resulr of the integrable Ablowitz-Ladik system.     

A Rigorous Derivation of a Linear Kinetic Equation of Fokker–Planck Type in the Limit of Grazing Collisions

We rigorously derive a linear kinetic equation of Fokker–Planck type for a 2-D Lorentz gas in which the obstacles are randomly distributed. Each obstacle of the Lorentz gas generates a potential V( ), where V is a smooth radially symmetric function with compact support, and >0. The density of obstacles diverges as ^– , where >0. We prove that when 0< <1/8 and =2+1, the probability density of a test particle converges as 0 to a solution of our kinetic equation.

Classical Poisson Structure for a Hierarchy of One–Dimensional Particle Systems Separable in Parabolic Coordinates

Abstract

We consider a hierarchy of many-particle systems on the line with polynomial potentials separable in parabolic coordinates. The first non-trivial member of this hierarchy is a generalization of an integrable case of the Hénon-Heiles system. We give a Lax representation in terms of 2 × 2 matrices for the whole hierarchy and construct the associated linear r-matrix algebra with the r-matrix dependent on the dynamical variables. A Yang-Baxter equation of dynamical type is proposed. Classical integration in a particular case is carried out and quantization of the system is discussed with the help of separation variables.     

Kac-Moody-Virasoro Symmetry Algebra of （2＋1）-Dimensional Dispersive Long-Wave Equation with Arbitrary Order Invariant

By Lie symmetry method, the Lie point symmetries and its Kac Moody-Virasoro （KMV） symmetry algebra of （2＋1）-dimensional dispersive long-wave equation （DLWE） are obtained, and the finite transformation of DLWE is given by symmetry group direct method, which can recover Lie point symmetries. Then KMV symmetry algebra of DLWE with arbitrary order invariant is also obtained. On basis of this algebra the group invariant solutions and similarity reductions are also derived.     

Jacobi’s Last Multiplier and the Complete Symmetry Group of the Ermakov-Pinney Equation

Abstract

The Ermakov-Pinney equation possesses three Lie point symmetries with the algebra sl(2, R). This algebra does not provide a representation of the complete symmetry group of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. We show how the representation of the group can be obtained with the use of the method described in Nucci, J. Nonlin. Math. Phys. 12 (2005) (this issue), which is based on the properties of Jacobi’s last multiplier (Bianchi L, Lezioni sulla teoria dei gruppi continui finiti di trasformazioni, Enrico Spoerri, Pisa, 1918), the method of reduction of order (Nucci,J. Math. Phys 37 (1996), 1772–1775) and an interactive code for calculating symmetries (Nucci, Interactive REDUCE programs for calcuating classical, non-classical and Lie-Bäcklund symmetries for differential equations (preprint: Georgia Institute of Technology, Math 062090-051, 1990, and CRC Handbook of Lie Group Analysis of Differential Equations.

Symmetry Reduction of (2+1)-Dimensional Lax–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation

The Lax–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is derived from the Lax fifth order equation, which is an important mathematical model in fluid physics and quantum field theory. Symmetry reductions of the Lax–Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation are studied by the means of the Clarkson–Kruskal direct method and the corresponding reduction equations are solved directly with arbitrary constants and functions.     

On the Violation of Ohm’s Law for Bounded Interactions: a One Dimensional System

We consider an infinite Hamiltonian system in one space dimension, given by a charged particle subjected to a constant electric field and interacting with an infinitely extended system of particles. We discuss conditions on the particle/medium interaction which are necessary for the charged particle to reach a finite limiting velocity. We assume that the background system is initially in an equilibrium Gibbs state and we prove that for bounded interactions the average velocity of the charged particle increases linearly in time. This statement holds for any positive intensity of the electric field, thus contradicting Ohms law.Work partially supported by the GNFM-INDAM and the Italian Ministry of the University.     

Geometric Analysis of Bifurcation and Symmetry Breaking in a Gross—Pitaevskii Equation

Gross–Pitaevskii and nonlinear Hartree equations are equations of nonlinear Schrödinger type that play an important role in the theory of Bose–Einstein condensation. Recent results of Aschbacher et al.(3) demonstrate, for a class of 3-dimensional models, that for large boson number (squared L ²norm), $N$ , the ground state does not have the symmetry properties of the ground state at small $N$ . We present a detailed global study of the symmetry breaking bifurcation for a 1-dimensional model Gross–Pitaevskii equation, in which the external potential (boson trap) is an attractive double-well, consisting of two attractive Dirac delta functions concentrated at distinct points. Using dynamical systems methods, we present a geometric analysis of the symmetry breaking bifurcation of an asymmetric ground state and the exchange of dynamical stability from the symmetric branch to the asymmetric branch at the bifurcation point.
