Self-gravitating three-dimensional solitons in nonlinear scale-invariant electrodynamics

A scale-invariant nonlinear modification of Maxwellian electrodynamics within general relativity is proposed. The starting point is the Mie model and its scale-invariant generalization in flat space-timeE ₄. We prove that all static, spherically symmetrical regular field configurations in this new theory, as well as those in the Mie model, possess negative energy. In search of solitonlike solutions with positive masses, we take into account their proper gravitational fields. We show first that in Riemannian space any gauge-invariant electrodynamic theory does not admit regular solutions. Supposing the gauge invariance to be broken inside the particle, we prove the existence of static particlelike solutions with spherical symmetry and positive energy in the scale-invariant electrodynamics described by a Lagrangian density of the form =-Y(I)R/(2)-W(I)F F _u/2+2X(I)R A A , withY, W, andX arbitrary functions of the invariantI=A A . The correspondence with the Maxwellian theory is required.     

Dynamics of anisotropic cosmological model with ultrarelativistic matter,magnetic field,and fluxes of free isotropic particles

Within the framework of general relativity a dynamics of homogeneous anistropic axially symmetric model of the Bianchi type I is considered for the case when sources of gravitational field are ultrarelativistic matter, homogeneous magnetic field, and fluxes of free particles. Qualitative analysis of the field equations on a phase plane is given. All solutions of a considered type for large values of proper time asymptotically approach the flat Friedmann model while the value of energy density of free particles approaches the double value of magnetic field energy density. Near a singular state the solution exhibits oscillating behavior with successive interchange of Kasner singularities of pancake-like and filament-like types. It is also shown that in the absence of matter a solution retains its character.     

On regular embedding integrally in R3 of metrics of class C4 of negative curvature

On the x₀y plane let there be specified a complete metric of negative curvature K by means of the line element ds²=dx²+B²(x, y) dy², and, in the strip _a={0xa, -4-bounded function B>0,K-²<0 ( and are constants). Then, the metric in strip _a is embedded in R³ by means of a surface of class C³.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 2, pp. 261–266, August, 1973.     

Exact self-consistent plane-symmetric solutions of the spinor-field equation with a nonlinear term dependent on the invariant P2

Exact self-consistent plane-symmetric solutions of the spinor-field equation with zero mass parameter and a nonlinear term that is an arbitrary function of the invariant , are obtained in gravitation theory. An equation with power-law nonlinearity in which the nonlinear term in the spinor-field Lagrangian has the form L_N=λP²ⁿ, where λ is the nonlinearity parameter and n=const, is investigated in detail. It is shown that λ=−Λ²<0, n>1, the original system of Einstein and nonlinear spinor-field equations has regular solutions with a localized spinor-field energy density. Here the soliton-like configuration of the fields possesses a negative energy. Exact solutions are also obtained for the above spinor-field equation in flat spacetime, and it is demonstrated that there are no soliton-like solutions in that case. Thus it is established that the proper gravitational field plays a decisive, controlling role in the formation of soliton-type solutions of the above nonlinear spinor-field equation.

Study of nanostructured materials by optical and photoelectron spectroscopy

The results of investigations of the electronic energy structure and physicochemical properties of nanostructured systems by optical and photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation are briefly reviewed. The quantum-size effect in thin metal films and surface lateral superlattices are analyzed. The effect of structural defects on the chemical state of metal clusters on the surface of oxides in catalytically active systems is discussed. The results of the study of the specific features of chemical bonding in solid-state nanostructures within the quasi-molecular approach are presented. The possibility of using biological structures (proteins) as matrices for the formation of ensembles of nanoclusters is considered.

Anticrossing phenomena in a resonator with 2D electrons on liquid helium

We have investigated the details of the eigenmode for a resonator containing a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) formed on the surface of liquid helium. We show that anticrossing phenomena occur near the crossing point ω₀=ω_c, where ω₀ is the eigenmode of the resonator and ω_c is the cyclotron frequency. The structure of the coupling constant is established. It is a flexible parameter, i.e., sensitive especially to magnetic field and electron density. A finite coupling leads to a perturbation, δω, of the eigenmode of the resonator in presence of the 2DES. Corresponding calculations and measurements of δω are presented. The theory fits the experimental data. The influence of anticrossing on the cyclotron resonance absorption line shape is demonstrated.
