Tails of Bipartite Distance-regular Graphs

Let Γ denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameterD  ≥  4 and valency k ≥  3. Let θ 0  > θ 1  >  >  θD denote the eigenvalues of Γ and let E₀, E₁, , E_Ddenote the associated primitive idempotents. Fix s(1  ≤  s ≤  D −  1 ) and abbreviate E: =  E_s. We say E is a tail whenever the entrywise product E   E is a linear combination of E₀, E and at most one other primitive idempotent of Γ. Letq_ij^{σi + 1 h} (0  ≤ h , i, j ≤  D) denote the Krein parameters of Γ and letΔ denote the undirected graph with vertices 0, 1, , D where two vertices i, j are adjacent whenever i ≠  =  j andq_ij^σi + 1s  ≠  =  0. We show E is a tail if and only if one of (i)–(iii) holds: (i) Δ is a path; (ii) Δ has two connected components, each of which is a path; (iii) D =  6 and Δ has two connected components, one of which is a path on four vertices and the other of which is a clique on three vertices.     

Extendability of Large-Scale Lipschitz Maps

Let be metric spaces, a subset of , and a large-scale lipschitz map. It is shown that possesses a large-scale lipschitz extension (with possibly larger constants) if is a Gromov hyperbolic geodesic space or the cartesian product of finitely many such spaces. No extension exists, in general, if is an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. A necessary and sufficient condition for the extendability of a lipschitz map is given in the case when is separable and is a proper, convex geodesic space.

     

Magnetopolaron states involving confined phonons in a semiconductor quantum well

Energy splitting ΔE _res in double magnetopolaron energy spectrum in rectangular quantum wells as functions of the well width d have been calculated. We have considered in the capacity of interaction leading to resonant coupling between electrons and phonons the interaction with confined phonons and (for comparison) with bulk LO phonons. We have obtained the conditions when the interaction with bulk phonons yields correct results. Calculations for AlAs/GaAs/AlAs and AlSb/InSb/AlSb structures have been performed. Alongside the parameter ΔE _res for a polaron, whose resonant magnetic field is determined by the condition Ω=ω _L1, where Ω is the cyclotron frequency and ω _L1 is the LO phonon frequency in the quantum well (A-polaron), we have calculated ΔE _res for D-(Ω=2ω _L1) and F-polarons (Ω=3ω _L1), which is a factor of $\sqrt 2 $ and $\sqrt 3 $ , respectively, smaller than ΔE _res for the A-polaron. Since the splitting ΔE _res for the A-polaron is very large (up to 0.2?ω _L1), it is more convenient to study in experiments D-and F-polarons since their resonant magnetic fields are lower. We have predicted existence of “weak” magnetopolarons, in which the splitting is proportional to a higher power of Frölich’s coupling constant α than α ^1/2.
