Possible generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics

With the use of a quantity normally scaled in multifractals, a generalized form is postulated for entropy, namelyS _q k [1 – _i=1 ^W p _i ^q ]/(q-1), whereq characterizes the generalization andp _i are the probabilities associated withW (microscopic) configurations (W). The main properties associated with this entropy are established, particularly those corresponding to the microcanonical and canonical ensembles. The Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics is recovered as theq1 limit.

Generalized q-Modified Laguerre Functions

In this paper we define a new q-special function A _n (x, b, c; q). The new function is a generalization of the q-Laguerre function and the Stieltjes–Wigert function. We deduced all the properties of the function A _n (x, b, c; q). Finally, lim _q1 A _n ((1 – q)x, –, 1;q) gives L _n ^(,)(x,q), which is a -modification of the ordinary Laguerre function.     

R andRτ ratios at the five-loop level of perturbative QCD

We study perturbative QCD at the five-loop level. In particular we considerR = _tot(e ⁺ e ^– hadrons)/(e ⁺ e ^{– + –}) andR = ( v+hadrons)/( ev). We use our method to estimate the five-loop coefficients. As a result, we obtain _s (M _z ) = 0.1186(11) and _s (34 GeV) = 0.1396(16), which are accurate at the 1% level. We also findR = 3.8350(18), which is consistent withR and is accurate to 0.05%.     

Perturbations of flows on Banach spaces and operator algebras

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference _t – ' _t are reflected in relations between the generators , . Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if _t – '_t 0.28 for smallt, then = 0(+)°^-1 where is an inner automorphism ofM and is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference _t – ' _t =O(t) ast ; 0, then = + and if _t – ' _t 0.28 for allt then =. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC ₀,C ₀ ^* groups on a Banach space.This paper subsumes an earlier work of the same title which appeared as a report from Z.I.F. der Universität BielefeldWith partial support of the U.S. National Science Foundation     

Representations of state space transformations by Markov kernels

Every convex subset of a locally convex Hausdorff space (X, ) is equipped with the (-algebra generated by its-relatively open subsets. Within the set () of probability measures on two particular convex subsets are considered: (a) the set ^s () of probability measures with a separable support, and (b) the set ^c () of probability measures with a compact convex support. If is the base of a cone inX, then there exists an affine barycenter map from ^c () onto whose composition with the natural embedding of in ^c () yields the identity map on , and every-continuous affine transformation of can be represented by an affine transformation of ^c () that is induced by a Markov kernel. If (X, ) is a Banach space and is a closed, bounded, generating cone base inX that is contained in a hyperplane, then analogous results are obtained with respect to ^s (). Since the state spaces considered in noncommutative measure theory are cone bases and every change in time of an empirical system can be thought of as an affine transformation of the associated state space (Schrödinger picture), the existence of these representation theorems implies that the time evolution of general empirical systems can be described by dynamical concepts borrowed from classical probability theory.     

Asymptotic theory of multidimensional chaos

A delay-differential equationu(t)+u(t)=f(u(t–1)), 0t < , and its generalization are investigated in the limit 0, when the attractor's dimension increases infinitely. It is shown that a number of statistical characteristics are asymptotically independent of. As for the attractor, it can be regarded as a direct product ofO(1/) equivalent subattractors, their statistical characteristics being asymptotically independent of . The results enable one to predict some characteristics of the attractor with fractal dimensionD 1 for the case 1, when they are inaccessible numerically. The approach developed seems to be applicable for a wide class of spatiotemporal systems.     

The hydrodynamic limit of a one-dimensional nearest neighbor gradient system

We study the hydrodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional nearest neighbor gradient system with respect to a positive convex potential . In the hydrodynamic limit the density distribution is shown to evolve according to the nonlinear diffusion equation ,(q)/t= (²/dq²){F([1/₁(q)]), with F= –.     

Spectral properties of a periodically kicked quantum Hamiltonian

We study the spectral properties of the Floquet operator for the periodically kicked HamiltonianH(t) =H ₀+ ₊ ^– (t–nT),H ₀ being self-adjoint and pure point. We show that the Floquet operator is pure point for almost every , if is cyclic forH ₀ and has absolutely convergent expansion in the basis of eigenstates ofH ₀. When this last condition is not satisfied, the Floquet operator can have a continuous spectrum, as we show by an example.     

Interface formation and a structural phase transition for the spherical model of ferromagnetism

A detailed analysis is reported examining the local magnetic susceptibility (r), in relation to the correlation functionG(R) and correlation length , of a spherical model ferromagnet confined to geometry =L ^{d –d} × ^d ( ^d 2,d>2) under a continuous set oftwisted boundary conditions. The twist parameter in this problem may be interpreted as a measure of the geometry-dependent doping level of interfacial impurities (or antiferromagnetic seams) in theextended system at various temperatures. For _j 0, jd-d, no seams are present except at infinity, whereas if _j = 1/2, impurity saturation occurs. For 0 < _j < 1/2 the physical domain _phys =D ^{d –d} × ^d (D>L), defining the region between seams containing the origin, depends on temperature above a certain threshold (T>T ₀). Below that temperature (T>T ₀), seams are frozen at the same position (DL/2,d-d'=1), revealing a smoothly varying largescale structural phase transition.     

Exact exponent for the number of persistent spins in the zero-temperature dynamics of the one-dimensional Potts model

For the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics of theq-state Potts model, the fractionr(q, t) of spins which never flip up to timet decays like a power lawr(q, t)t ^–(q) when the initial condition is random. By mapping the problem onto an exactly soluble one-species coagulation model (A+AA) or alternatively by transforming the problem into a free-fermion model, we obtain the exact expression of (q) for all values ofq. The exponent (q) is in general irrational, (3)=0.53795082..., (4)=0.63151575..., ..., with the exception ofq=2 andq=, for which (2)=3/8 and ()=1.     

Behavior of the electrical resistivity at phase transitions in binary alloys

The excess resistivity of binary alloys is calculated in the Born approximation for the scattering of quasifree electrons from the atomic disorder. can be represented as the convolution of the structure functionS(q) and the fourier transform of the effective potential. The critical anomaly of is derived from scaling expressions forS(q), both for alloys which undergo unmixing and for order-disorder transitions. The variation of with concentration and temperature in the vicinity of a critical point is obtained. The time-dependence of the resistivity of alloys after a sudden quench into the two-phase region is also calculated, using computer simulation data forS(q,t), and a maximum of is found for zones with linear dimension of 8–12 lattice spacings. All these results are in fair agreement with the available experiments. As a further possible application, we obtain the critical exponent for the nonlinear relaxation of the resistivity of an alloy close to the order-disorder transition.     

Asymptotic behaviour of spin-momentum distribution observables for fermion fields with cut-off self-coupling

In a previous paper asymptotic creation and annhilation operatorsa _± ^# have been constructed by the Kato-Mugibayashi method from the creation and annihilation operatorsa ^# for spin 1/2 fields with an interaction Hamiltonian density which is an evendegree polynomial in the field with ultra-violet cut-off and its derivatives. For any eigenvector of the total HamiltonianH=H ₀+H _I partial isometries _± have been defined so thata _± ^# equal _± a ^# *_± on the ranges _± of _±. Since the existence of a groundstate ofH has been proved, the existence of at least one pair _± follows. The purpose of this paper is to show that for any _± orthogonal to the distribution of spins and momenta of the interacting Schrödinger states exp[–itH]_± approaches fort the distributions of spins and momenta of the free state exp[–itH ₀] if a wave-amplitude renormalization is carried out in _±. This is achieved by studying the expectation values of the operators in themaximally abelian W*-algebra generated by operators of the form a*a, in terms of whichany information about spins and momenta can be expressed.Supported in part by the National Research Council of Canada.     

Two-body correlations and pair formation in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas

We investigate pair correlations in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas made up of two species of point ions carrying electric charges Z₁ e(>0) and Z₂ e(<0), and interaction by the logarithmic Coulomb potential. This system is known to be classically stable for couplings=e ²/k _BTc=2/¦Z₁Z₂¦ (whereT is the temperature). Correlations between equally charged ions are shown to be greatly modified at short distances, in the range _c/2<< _c, due to gradual ion condensation. The usual integral equations for the pair correlation functions admit no solutions in that range. Preliminary Monte Carlo simulations for the symmetric case (Z₁=–Z₂) reveal a striking chemical equilibrium between tightly bound ion pairs and free ions, which is reasonably well described by a simple Bjerrum model.     

On absence of diffusion near the bottom of the spectrum for a random Schrödinger operator onL 2(ℝ)+

We consider a random Schrödinger operator onL ²(^v) of the form , {C _i} being a covering of ^v with unit cubes around the sites of ^v and {q _i} i.i.d. random variables with values in [0, 1]. We assume that theq _i's are continuously distributed with bounded densityf(q) and that 0<P(q ₀<1/2)=<1. Then we show that an ergodic mean of the quantity dx|x|²|(exp(itH ))(x)|²t ^–1 vanishes provided =g _E(H ), where is well-localized around the origin andg _E is a positiveC -function with support in (0,E),EE*(, |f|). Our estimate ofE*(, |f|) is such that the set {x ^v |V (x) E*(, |f|)} may contain with probability one an infinite cluster of cubes {C _i} which are nearest neighbours. The proof is based on the technique introduced by Fröhlich and Spencer for the analysis of the Anderson model.Work supported in part by C.N.R.

Traces of Intertwiners for Quantum Groups and Difference Equations

In this Letter we study twisted traces of products of intertwining operators for quantum affine algebras. They are interesting special functions, depending on two weights ,, three scalar parameters q,,k, and spectral parameters z ₁,...,z _N , which may be regarded as q-analogs of conformal blocks of the Wess–Zumino–Witten model on an elliptic curve. It is expected that in the rank 1 case they essentially coincide with the elliptic hypergeometric functions defined by Felder and Varchenko. Our main result is that after a suitable renormalization the traces satisfy four systems of difference equations – the Macdonald–Ruijsenaars equation, the q-Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov–Bernard equation, and their dual versions. We also show that in the case when the twisting automorphism is trivial, the trace functions are symmetric under the permutation , k . Thus, our results generalize those of Etingof and Schiffmann, dealing with the case q=1, and Etingof, Varchenko, and Schiffmann, dealing with the finite-dimensional case.     

Spectral superbroadening of self-focused picosecond laser pulses in D2O

Intense picosecond light pulses of a mode-locked Nd: glass laser at _L =1054 nm (fundamental wavelength) and _SH =527 nm (second harmonic wavelength) are passed through a sample of D₂O under self-focusing conditions. Spectrally structured superbroadened, spatially bell-shaped emission in the forward direction is obtained. Primary generation processes are pump-pulse-degenerate stimulated parametric four-photon interaction (₁ + _{1 3} + ₄) and stimulated Raman scattering (_{1 R} + ), which occur concurrently (₁= _L or _SH angular pump frequency, #x03C9; _R first Stokes frequency, #x03C9; signal frequency, #x03C9;₃ signal frequency, #x03C9;₄ idler frequency). The parametric four-photon interaction occurs under collinear non-phase-matched conditions and under longitudinally phase-matched, transversally non-phase-matched (erenkov-like) conditions. Subsequent interaction processes are pump-pulse-nondegenerate four-photon interaction of the type ₁ + _{R 3} + ₄, coherent antiStokes Raman scattering (CARS, ₁ + ₁ – _{4 3}), inverse Raman scattering ( _A + ₁ + ), and cascading light up-conversion of the type ₁ + _(i) – _{R (i+1)}.     

Der Einfluss von Fremdstoffgehalt auf einige Kenngrössen der Verfestigungskurven von Zinkeinkristallen

Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß von Fremdstoffgehalt: auf die kritische Schubspannung ₀, den Verfestigungskoeffizient _A im BereichA der Verfestigungskurve; die Längea _A des BereichsA, und die Schubspannung _A am Ende des BereichsA, von Zinkeinkristallen untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß der Einfluß von Fremdstoffgehalt auf den Wert der kritischen Schubspannung vorwiegend indirekter Natur ist. Die Abnahme des Verfestigungskoeffizienten mit zunehmendem Fremdstoffgehalt kann an Hand erhöhter Leerstellenkonzentration erklärt werden. Das Auftreten des BereichsB wird im Zusammenhang mit der Entstehung von Frankschen Halbversetzungen erwogen.

Low-energy elementary surface excitations of symmetric films of liquid4He atT=0 K

It is known that low-energy elementary excitations of symmetric films of liquid⁴He atT=0 K are characterized by a momentum q parallel to the surface and may be described by bound states. We have evaluated wave functions and energies of these states for both best short-ranged and optimal long-ranged correlations. Quantities of physical interest may be expressed in terms of these eigenstates and, in particular, for very small momenta (q<0.2 Å^–1) they are mainly determined by the contribution due to the lowest-lying one. We propose analytic expressions for the lowest-lying excitations and fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. It is proved that in this limiting case, the excitation energy _LW(q) and the averaged static structure functionS _LW(q) should go linearly to zero asq0, whereas the averaged direct correlationX _LW ^Dg (q) should diverge at the origin as 1/q. It is shown that numerical solutions exhibit the expected long-wavelength behavior provided that optimal correlations are used. All these results are displayed in a series of figures and are discussed in detail.     

Photon scattering on quasi-free neutrons in the reaction γd→γ′np and neutron polarizabilities

The possibility to obtain information on n scattering at intermediate energies from the reaction dnp is analyzed. To this aim, the differential cross sectiond ³ /d ,d _n dE _n and the scattering asymmetry with linearly polarized photons are calculated at photon energies 100 to 400 MeV in the diagrammatic approach. The pole diagrams of the impulse approximation are evaluated with realistic n and p scattering amplitudes. One-loop diagrams withnp rescattering in the final state and with meson-exchange and isobar currents are taken into account as well. The main contribution to the differential cross sectiond ³ /d ,d _n dE _n in the kinematics of quasi-free n scattering arises from the neutron pole diagram. The correction due to other diagrams is typically –30% to –10% and decreases with increasing photon energy and momentum transfer. The sensitivity of the cross sections to the magnitude of the neutron electric polarizability and to the sign of the ⁰2 decay constant is demonstrated.
