Exponentially Long Stability Times for a Nonlinear Lattice in the Thermodynamic Limit

In this paper, we construct an adiabatic invariant for a large 1–d lattice of particles, which is the so called Klein Gordon lattice. The time evolution of such a quantity is bounded by a stretched exponential as the perturbation parameters tend to zero. At variance with the results available in the literature, our result holds uniformly in the thermodynamic limit. The proof consists of two steps: first, one uses techniques of Hamiltonian perturbation theory to construct a formal adiabatic invariant; second, one uses probabilistic methods to show that, with large probability, the adiabatic invariant is approximately constant. As a corollary, we can give a bound from below to the relaxation time for the considered system, through estimates on the autocorrelation of the adiabatic invariant.     

Adiabatic theory,Liapunov exponents,and rotation number for quadratic Hamiltonians

We consider the adiabatic problem for general time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonians and develop a method quite different from WKB. In particular, we apply our results to the Schrödinger equation in a strip. We show that there exists a first regular step (avoiding resonance problems) providing one adiabatic invariant, bounds on the Liapunov exponents, and estimates on the rotation number at any order of the perturbation theory. The further step is shown to be equivalent to a quantum adiabatic problem, which, by the usual adiabatic techniques, provides the other possible adiabatic invariants. In the special case of the Schrödinger equation our method is simpler and more powerful than the WKB techniques.     

Area Spectrum of a Kerr-Newman Black Hole Via an Adiabatic Invariant

By virtue of a semiclassical adiabatic invariant in this paper, we quantize the horizon area of a Kerr-Newman black hole by making use of the period of the gravity system. We exploit exclusively the basic properties of the adiabatic invariant. It is found that the result produced by our method is consistent with the one obtained by calculating the adiabatic invariant step by step.     

Recent results on time-dependent Hamiltonian oscillators

Time-dependent Hamilton systems are important in modeling the nondissipative interaction of the system with its environment. We review some recent results and present some new ones. In time-dependent, parametrically driven, one-dimensional linear oscillator, the complete analysis can be performed (in the sense explained below), also using the linear WKB method. In parametrically driven nonlinear oscillators extensive numerical studies have been performed, and the nonlinear WKB-like method can be applied for homogeneous power law potentials (which e.g. includes the quartic oscillator). The energy in time-dependent Hamilton systems is not conserved, and we are interested in its evolution in time, in particular the evolution of the microcanonical ensemble of initial conditions. In the ideal adiabatic limit (infinitely slow parametric driving) the energy changes according to the conservation of the adiabatic invariant, but has a Dirac delta distribution. However, in the general case the initial Dirac delta distribution of the energy spreads and we follow its evolution, especially in the two limiting cases, the slow variation close to the adiabatic regime, and the fastest possible change – a parametric kick, i.e. discontinuous jump (of a parameter), where some exact analytic results are obtained (the so-called PR property, and ABR property). For the linear oscillator the distribution of the energy is always, rigorously, the arcsine distribution, whose variance can in general be calculated by the linear WKB method, while in nonlinear systems there is no such universality. We calculate the Gibbs entropy for the ensembles of noninteracting nonlinear oscillator, which gives the right equipartition and thermostatic laws even for one degree of freedom.

An exact magnetic-moment invariant of charged-particle gyromotion

For the motion of a charged particle in a uniform, time-dependent axial magnetic field B(t)e(z), it is shown that there is an exact magnetic-moment invariant of the particle dynamics M, to which the adiabatic magnetic-moment invariant mu = mv2 perpendicular/2B is asymptotic when the time scale of the magnetic field variation is much slower than the gyroperiod. The connection between the exact invariant M and the adiabatic invariant mu enables us to characterize in detail the robustness of the adiabatic magnetic-moment invariant mu.

Adiabatic invariant in light of Hamilton’s principle

Adiabatic invariants are specific physical quantities which do not change appreciably even after a very long time when the Hamiltonian of a mechanical system undergoes a slow change in time. Existing proofs of this nice feature range from sophistication, and typically resort to a sort of averaging principle using Hamilton’s equations of motion. We show that a much simpler argument based directly on Hamilton’s principle per se is possible. Furthermore, this approach readily reveals an interesting local recurrent property of the adiabatic invariants that is rarely emphasized in the existing literature. We also show how our simpler approach can be easily generalized to derive the time dependence of the adiabatic invariant.     

A new type of adiabatic invariants for disturbed Birkhoffian system of Herglotz type

The generalized variational principle of Herglotz type provides an effective way to study the problems of conservative and non-conservative systems in a unified way. According to the differential variational principle of Herglotz type, we study the adiabatic invariants for a disturbed Birkhoffian system in this paper. Firstly, the differential equations of motion of the Birkhoffian system based upon this variational principle are given, and the exact invariant of Herglotz type of the system is introduced. Secondly, a new type of adiabatic invariants for the system under the action of small perturbation is obtained. Thirdly, the inverse theorem of adiabatic invariant for the disturbed Birkhoffian system of Herglotz type is obtained. Finally, an example is given.     

Estimation of dynamical invariants without embedding by recurrence plots

In this paper we show that two dynamical invariants, the second order Renyi entropy and the correlation dimension, can be estimated from recurrence plots (RPs) with arbitrary embedding dimension and delay. This fact is interesting as these quantities are even invariant if no embedding is used. This is an important advantage of RPs compared to other techniques of nonlinear data analysis. These estimates for the correlation dimension and entropy are robust and, moreover, can be obtained at a low numerical cost. We exemplify our results for the Rossler system, the funnel attractor and the Mackey-Glass system. In the last part of the paper we estimate dynamical invariants for data from some fluid dynamical experiments and confirm previous evidence for low dimensional chaos in this experimental system.

Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the method and results.     

Black hole spectroscopy via adiabatic invariance

During the last years, one had to combine the proposal about how quasinormal frequencies are related with black holes and the proposal about the adiabatic invariance of black holes in order to derive the quantized entropy spectrum and its minimum change for several black holes. In this Letter we exclusively utilize the statement that the black hole horizon area is an adiabatic invariant and derive an equally spaced entropy spectrum of a black hole with its quantum to be equal to the one given by Bekenstein. Interestingly, in our approach no concept of quasi-normal mode is needed.
