The influence of a surface on Ising and conjugate model spin correlations atT=T c

We calculate rigorously the two-point correlation function in the 2-d Ising model on a quasi-cylindrical lattice at the critical temperatureT _c .The scaling predictions for the surface critical exponents = 5/8, = 1 are confirmed and the change from surface to bulk behavior is studied. By a correspondence relation the results are mapped to the conjugate model, a subcase of the 8-vertex model. We find in this model = 5/4, = 2.     

The special status ofη 1 in QCD

On the basis of the approximate vanishing of the singlet axial charge of the nucleon, it is argued that ₁ should decouple from all hadrons constructed out of the constituentu, d ors quarks in theU(3) _L ×U(3) _R chiral limit for largeN _c . Furthermore ₁ should dominate the processesJ/, . A phenomenological analysis of the and couplings to many hadronic states is consistent with these results.     

Kinetics of small perturbations in an isotropic world

Long-wavelength gravitational perturbations are studied in an isotropic expanding universe filled with an ultrarelativistic gas. A kinetic study in the collisionless approximation shows that scalar and vector perturbations which appear at a time ₀ 1/n, where N is the wave vector and is the time coordinate x⁴, grow if the perturbation of the macroscopic momentum density of the gas at time ₀ is nonvanishing. The growth continues until the time ₁=27₀, at which the perturbation of the macroscopic momentum density of the gas vanishes. A solution is also derived for tensor perturbations in the limit n 1.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 37–45, April, 1978.     

The theory of melting in heteropolymers. I. Random chains

A method is developed for the calculation of the ground-state melting curves ( _o vs.T) for random, infinite heteropolymers. Here _o is the ground-state value of the fraction of melted links ( _o in the strong cooperativity approximation). It is shown that the differential melting curves (d /d T vs.T) can have a fine structure in the form of several peaks on the bell-shaped main curve. Positions, magnitudes, and widths of these peaks are estimated. The accidental fine structure of melting curves, which is caused by a finite length of the polymer, is briefly discussed.Work supported in part by NSF Material Research Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University.Part of this work was submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School at SUNY Buffalo in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree.

Metastates in Disordered Mean-Field Models II: The Superstates

We continue to investigate the size dependence of disordered mean-field models with finite local spin space in more detail, illustrating the concept of superstates as recently proposed by Bovier and Gayrard. We discuss various notions of convergence for the behavior of the paths (t_[tN]()) _{t(0, 1]} in the thermodynamic limit N. Here _n () is the Gibbs measure in the finite volume {1,..., n} and is the disorder variable. In particular we prove refined convergence statements in our concrete examples, the Hopfield model with finitely many patterns (having continuous paths) and the Curie–Weiss random-field Ising model (having singular paths).     

Nuclear quadrupole interaction of199mHg-ferrocenethiol complexes

We determined the^199mHg nuclear quadrupole interaction (NQI) by time differential perturbed angular correlation in the following ferrocenethiol complexes with mercury: ferrocenethiol (v _Q =1253(4) MHz, =0); 1,1-ferrocenedithiol (47%v _Q =1555(8) MHz, =0.13(2); 25%v _Q =726(19) MHz, =0.81(2); rest unspecific); 2-ferrocenyl-ethanethiol (v _Q =1306(6) MHz, =0.17(1)); and a 1, 1-bis (2-mercapto-propylthio)ferrocene oligomer (v _Q =1411(5), =0). All NQIs are rather large with small asymmetry parameters, indicating essentially linear S-Hg-S bonds. The only exception is the minority fraction in 1,2-ferrocenedithiol which suggests the formation of a 1,3-dithia-2-mercura[3]ferrocenophane.     

Yet another formulation of the Dirac equation

The 2-by-2 Pauli matrix algebra is used to write the 1-by-4 Dirac field in anequivalent 2-by-2 matrix . The current 4-vectors and *_µ are then compared and the latter is shown to not be easily interpretable as a probability density, and also tocontain .

Calculations are presented for the integral cross-sections ofN N, N N incorporating the one-particle intermediate state, theS₁₁N * resonance; cross-sections are given for kinetic energies of the meson from 0 to 200 MeV for various values of the width of the resonance. The calculated cross-sections agree with experiment for r 160 MeV.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, Vol. 16, No. 7, pp. 119–122, July, 1973.We are indebted to our colleagueat the Institute G.

Unbounded derivations and invariant states

Let be a von Neumann algebra with a cyclic and separating vector . Let =i[H, ·] be the spatial derivation implemented by a selfadjoint operatorH, such thatH=0. Let be the modular operator associated with the pair (, ). We prove the equivalence of the following three conditions:1)H is essential selfadjoint onD(), andH commutes strongly with .2) The restriction ofH toD() is essential selfadjoint onD(^1/2) equipped with the inner product(|)_#=(|)+(^1/2|^1/2), , D(^1/2).3) exp (itH) exp (–itH)= for anyt.We show by an example, that the first part of 1),H is essential selfadjoint onD(), does not imply 3). This disproves a conjecture due to Bratteli and Robinson [3].Part of this work was done while O.B. was a member of Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung der Universität Bielefeld     

Integrability conditions for Killing spinors

The conditions for the existence of solutions ofD _µ=±c_µ are discussed. In general, it is not sufficient to consider only the first integrability condition [D _µ,D _v ]=–2c ²_{µv}; in particular, the second integrability condition is needed to explain why, in certain cases, only for one choice of sign does a solution exist. The Killing spinor-tensors, as defined by Walker and Penrose, are shown to be the spinorial equivalent of conformal Killing tensors. Their relationship to the Killing spinors and spinor-vectors used in supergravity, is given.On leave from the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the State University of New York at Stony BrookWork supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DEAC-03-81-ER 40050 and Weingart Fellowship     

Theoretical Study for Wavelength Conversion of Cascaded Second-Order Nonlinearity in Silica Fiber

In this paper, A novel wavelength divison multiplexing (WDM) nets is proposed by use of cascaded second-order nonlinearities (⁽²⁾:⁽²⁾) in the D-fiber grating after periodically thermal/electric-field poling, and is theoretically analyzed for the first time. The coupled mode equations of the ⁽²⁾:⁽²⁾ nonlinearities are derived, and the analytic expressions for the electric-field amplitude of converted light wave and the conversion efficiency are obtained under the small signal approximation, which are well consistent with numerical calculations. Both analytic expressions and numerical results show that, under the phase matching, is proportional to the logarithm of the square of pump light power, and the 4th power of the grating length L and the second-order nonlinearity d. The calculated results also show that and of this fiber grating can be reached over -17dB and 120nm, respectively. With the increase of L, increases rapidly while decreases quickly. The results of simulated calculations and theoretical analysis show that the cascaded ⁽²⁾:⁽²⁾ process is different from quasi-phases-matched difference-frequency generation.     

Further exact solutions of the eight-vertex SOS model and generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities

The restricted eight-vertex solid-on-solid (SOS) model is an exactly solvable class of two-dimensional lattice models. To each sitei of the lattice there is associated an integer heightl _i restricted to the range 1l _i r–1. The Boltzmann weights of the model are expressed in terms of elliptic functions of period 2K, and involve a parameter. In an earlier paper we considered the case=K/r. Here we generalize those considerations to the case=sK/r, s an integer relatively prime tor. We are again led to generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities.     

Transverse energy per charged particle at relativistic energies from a statistical model with expansion

Transverse-energy and charged-particle pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity and their ratio, dE_T/d|_mid/dN_ch/d|_mid, are evaluated in a statistical model with longitudinal and transverse flows for the wide range of colliders, from AGS to RHIC at = 200 GeV. Evaluations are done at freeze-out parameters obtained from independent fits to observed particle yields and p_T spectra. Decays of hadron resonances are treated thoroughly and are included in derivations of dE_T/d|_mid and dN_ch/d|_mid. The predictions of the model agree well with the experimental data. However, some (explicable) overestimation of the ratio has been observed.     

Induced geometry and confinement

A classical, Poincaré invariant dynamical system is developed which contains, besides the natural metric _v , an induced metricg _v that is generated by a real scalar dynamical field. It is shown that scalar fields whose dynamics are governed by the induced metric can be consistently introduced. Also, point particles which follow timelike quasi-geodesic trajectories can be introduced. The reaction forces acting ong _v due to the presence of these fields and particles are computed. A discussion of causality and geometrical confinement is given.     

Feynman integral and complex classical trajectories

Let _t be an analytic solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition . Let _t be the solution of the Schrödinger equation with the initial condition =, where is an analytic function. When 0, then _t (x) _t (x)¹ ( _t (x)), where _t (x) trajectory starting from x. We relate this result to Feynman's sum over trajectories and complex stochastic differential equations.     

Intensity measurement for Kβ η satellites in the radiative auger effect

Calculations have been performed on the integral shapes of the K lines, which are long-wave satellites of the K ₁ lines, for Cl, Ti, and Fe, where allowance has been made for interference between states in the 2p^–1 and 3p^–2p configurations. The calculations show that these satellites represent short-wave branches of the K lines strengthened by the 3p-1s transition with simultaneous M electron ejection. The strong interference between the amplitudes of these processes in the final state means that it is in principle quite impossible to speak of the intensities of the K satellites without stating how they are isolated from the measured spectrum.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 34–39, September, 1984.     

The role of weak resonances in ac-driven Brownian motion and rate processes

In recent paper a theory of the effect of ac drive on the distribution function and escape rate of a multidimensional underdamped nonlinear oscillator subject to thermal damping and noise was suggested. The approach was based on describing the dynamics in terms of isolated nonlinear resonances and supposing that the noise intensity is asymptotically small,0. In the present work, the case of finite is considered, when weak resonances cannot be described asymptotically. It is shown that forp _r/1(p _r, is the resonance width) the asymptotic results are valid. Forp _r/1, a semiphenomenological theory is developed.     

Quantum Pushdown Automata

Quantum automata are mathematical models for quantum computing. We analyze the existing quantum pushdown automata, propose a q quantum pushdown automata (qQPDA), and partially clarify their connections. We emphasize some advantages of our qQPDA over others. We demonstrate the equivalence between qQPDA and another QPDA. We indicate that qQPDA are at least as powerful as the QPDA of Moore and Crutchfield with accepting words by empty stack. We introduce the quantum languages accepted by qQPDA and prove that every -q quantum context-free language is also an -q quantum context-free language for any (0, 1) and (0, 1).     

Amplitude-distortion factors for the inelastic scattering of an electron at a neon atom in an electric field

Inelastic electron scattering at a neon atom in the presence of an external electric field is considered. The distortion factors of the cross section _M (F) are calculated for a series of 4d and 5d levels. It is shown that the distortion factor in strong fields is a nonlinear and nonmonotonic function of the field. The distortion factors and transition probabilitiesA , are compared. The correlation between the behavior ofA , and _M (F) is explained by the dependence of the mean dipole moment of the Stark state on the field strength.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 97–110, January, 1996.
