Quasi-idempotent Rota–Baxter operators arising from quasi-idempotent elements

In this short note, we construct quasi-idempotent Rota–Baxter operators by quasi-idempotent elements and show that every finite dimensional Hopf algebra admits nontrivial Rota–Baxter algebra structures and tridendriform algebra structures. Several concrete examples are provided, including finite quantum groups and Iwahori–Hecke algebras.     

Prandtl–Ishlinskii hysteresis models for complex time dependent hysteresis nonlinearities

We introduce a new class of time dependent hysteresis models by combining the time dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model with functional nonlinearities. This combination improves the capability of the time dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model to characterize a class of complex time dependent hysteresis nonlinearities in smart actuators. The analytical inversion for the proposed time dependent hysteresis model is also presented in order to extend the inversion algorithm of the inverse time dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model for a class of complex time dependent hysteresis nonlinearities.     

On construction of symmetries and recursion operators from zero-curvature representations and the Darboux–Egoroff system

The Darboux–Egoroff system of PDEs with any number $n\ge 3$ of independent variables plays an essential role in the problems of describing $n$-dimensional flat diagonal metrics of Egoroff type and Frobenius manifolds. We construct a recursion operator and its inverse for symmetries of the Darboux–Egoroff system and describe some symmetries generated by these operators.The constructed recursion operators are not pseudodifferential, but are Bäcklund autotransformations for the linearized system whose solutions correspond to symmetries of the Darboux–Egoroff system. For some other PDEs, recursion operators of similar types were considered previously by Papachristou, Guthrie, Marvan, Pobořil, and Sergyeyev.In the structure of the obtained third and fifth order symmetries of the Darboux–Egoroff system, one finds the third and fifth order flows of an $(n-1)$-component vector modified KdV hierarchy.The constructed recursion operators generate also an infinite number of nonlocal symmetries. In particular, we obtain a simple construction of nonlocal symmetries that were studied by Buryak and Shadrin in the context of the infinitesimal version of the Givental–van de Leur twisted loop group action on the space of semisimple Frobenius manifolds.We obtain these results by means of rather general methods, using only the zero-curvature representation of the considered PDEs.     

Action–angle variables,ladder operators and coherent states

This Letter is devoted to the building of coherent states from arguments based on classical action–angle variables. First, we show how these classical variables are associated to an algebraic structure in terms of Poisson brackets. In the quantum context these considerations are implemented by ladder type operators and a structure known as spectrum generating algebra. All this allows to generate coherent states and thereby the correspondence of classical–quantum properties by means of the aforementioned underlying structure. This approach is illustrated with the example of the one-dimensional Pöschl–Teller potential system.     

Self-duality of the compactified Ruijsenaars–Schneider system from quasi-Hamiltonian reduction

The Delzant theorem of symplectic topology is used to derive the completely integrable compactified Ruijsenaars–Schneider _IIIb${\mathrm{III}}_{\mathrm{b}}$ system from a quasi-Hamiltonian reduction of the internally fused double SU(n)×SU(n)$\mathit{SU}(n)\times \mathit{SU}(n)$. In particular, the reduced spectral functions depending respectively on the first and second SU(n)$\mathit{SU}(n)$ factor of the double engender two toric moment maps on the _IIIb${\mathrm{III}}_{\mathrm{b}}$ phase space CP(n−1)$\mathbb{C}P(n-1)$ that play the roles of action-variables and particle-positions. A suitable central extension of the SL(2,Z)$\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ mapping class group of the torus with one boundary component is shown to act on the quasi-Hamiltonian double by automorphisms and, upon reduction, the standard generator S   of the mapping class group is proved to descend to the Ruijsenaars self-duality symplectomorphism that exchanges the toric moment maps. We give also two new presentations of this duality map: one as the composition of two Delzant symplectomorphisms and the other as the composition of three Dehn twist symplectomorphisms realized by Goldman twist flows. Through the well-known relation between quasi-Hamiltonian manifolds and moduli spaces, our results rigorously establish the validity of the interpretation [going back to Gorsky and Nekrasov] of the _IIIb${\mathrm{III}}_{\mathrm{b}}$ system in terms of flat SU(n)$\mathit{SU}(n)$ connections on the one-holed torus.     

Decoupling and reduction in Chern–Simons modified gravity

We show that for four-dimensional spacetimes with a non-null hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector and for a Chern–Simons (CS) background (non-dynamical) scalar field, which is constant along the Killing vector, the source-free equations of CS modified gravity decouple into their Einstein and Cotton constituents. Thus, the model supports only general relativity solutions. We also show that, when the cosmological constant vanishes and the gradient of the CS scalar field is parallel to the non-null hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector of constant length, CS modified gravity reduces to topologically massive gravity in three dimensions. Meanwhile, with the cosmological constant such a reduction requires an appropriate source term for CS modified gravity.     

Generalized uncertainty principle and Hořava–Lifshitz gravity

We explore a connection between generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and modified Ho?ava–Lifshitz (HL) gravity. The GUP density function may be replaced by the cutoff function for the renormalization group of modified Ho?ava–Lifshitz gravity. We find the GUP-corrected graviton propagators and compare these with tensor propagators in the HL gravity. Two are qualitatively similar, but the p⁵$p^5$-term arisen from Cotton tensor is missed in the GUP-corrected graviton propagator.     

Generalized Klauder–Perelomov and Gazeau–Klauder coherent states for Landau levels

Based on a pair of representations obtained for Lie algebra h₄, the Hilbert space corresponding to all quantum states of Landau levels is split into an infinite direct sum of infinite-dimensional Hilbert subspaces. For any one of the Hilbert subspaces, we get linear combinations of their bases as generalized coherent states—the so-called Klauder–Perelomov and Gazeau–Klauder.

Generalized Orthogonal Polynomials, Discrete KP and Riemann–Hilbert Problems

Classically, a single weight on an interval of the real line leads to moments, orthogonal polynomials and tridiagonal matrices. Appropriately deforming this weight with times t= (t ₁, t ₂, …), leads to the standard Toda lattice and τ-functions, expressed as hermitian matrix integrals. This paper is concerned with a sequence of t-perturbed weights, rather than one single weight. This sequence leads to moments, polynomials and a (fuller) matrix evolving according to the discrete KP-hierarchy. The associated τ-functions have integral, as well as vertex operator representations. Among the examples considered, we mention: nested Calogero–Moser systems, concatenated solitons and m-periodic sequences of weights. The latter lead to 2m+ 1-band matrices and generalized orthogonal polynomials, also arising in the context of a Riemann–Hilbert problem. We show the Riemann–Hilbert factorization is tantamount to the factorization of the moment matrix into the product of a lower–times upper–triangular matrix.

Viscosity,heat conductivity,and Prandtl number effects in the Rayleigh–Taylor Instability

The two-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor instability problem is simulated with a multiple-relaxation-time discrete Boltzmann model with a gravity term. Viscosity, heat conductivity, and Prandtl number effects are probed from macroscopic and nonequilibrium viewpoints. In the macro sense, both viscosity and heat conduction show a significant inhibitory effect in the reacceleration stage, which is mainly achieved by inhibiting the development of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. Before this, the Prandtl number effect is not sensitive. Viscosity, heat conductivity, and Prandtl number effects on nonequilibrium manifestations and the degree of correlation between the nonuniformity and the nonequilibrium strength in the complex flow are systematically investigated.     

The Generalized Thermo Jaynes–Cummings Model and?Its Energy Spectrum

By analyzing the characteristics of thermo field dynamics, we present a new generalized thermo Jaynes-Cummings (TJC) model at finite temperature including the thermal effects and expatiate on its physical explanation. By virtue of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant method, we obtain its exact eigenenergy spectrum and the explicit expressions for the evolution operator of the wavefunctions. In addition, we evaluate various expectation values of physical quantities and find the pseudo-invariant eigen-operator for the generalized TJC Hamiltonian.     

Uniqueness of maximal surfaces in Generalized Robertson–Walker spacetimes and Calabi–Bernstein type problems

Complete maximal surfaces in Generalized Robertson–Walker spacetimes obeying either the Null Convergence Condition or the Timelike Convergence Condition are studied. Uniqueness theorems that widely extend the classical Calabi–Bernstein theorem, as well as previous results on complete maximal surfaces in Robertson–Walker spacetimes, i.e. the case in which the Gauss curvature of the fiber is a constant, are given. All the entire solutions to the maximal surface differential equation in certain Generalized Robertson–Walker spacetimes are found.
