Uniqueness and clustering properties of Gibbs states for classical and quantum unbounded spin systems

We consider quantum unbounded spin systems (lattice boson systems) in -dimensional lattice space Z. Under appropriate conditions on the interactions we prove that in a region of high temperatures the Gibbs state is unique, is translationally invariant, and has clustering properties. The main methods we use are the Wiener integral representation, the cluster expansions for zero boundary conditions and for general Gibbs state, and explicitly -dependent probability estimates. For one-dimensional systems we show the uniqueness of Gibbs states for any value of temperature by using the method of perturbed states. We also consider classical unbounded spin systems. We derive necessary estimates so that all of the results for the quantum systems hold for the classical systems by straightforward applications of the methods used in the quantum case.     

Rate conservation laws: A survey

We survey the rate conservation law, RCL for short, arising in queues and related stochastic models. RCL was recognized as one of the fundamental principles to get relationships between time and embedded averages such as the extended Little's formulaH=G, but we show that it has other applications. For example, RCL is one of the important techniques for deriving equilibrium equations for stochastic processes. It is shown that the various techniques, including Mecke's formula for a stationary random measure, can be formulated as RCL. For this purpose, we start with a new definition of the rate with respect to a random measure, and generalize RCL by using it. We further introduce the notion of quasi-expectation, which is a certain extension of the ordinary expectation, and derive RCL applicable to the sample average results. It means that the sample average formulas such asH=G can be obtained as the stationary RCL in the quasi-expectation framework. We also survey several extensions of RCL and discuss examples. Throughout the paper, we would like to emphasize how results can be easily obtained by using a simple principle, RCL.     

Virial expansion for a polymer with a realistic pair-potential interaction

No modern theory of polymer excluded volume adequately describes the crossover from poor solvent to good solvent conditions; a fundamental difficulty is a singularity in the binary cluster integral. Mayer expansion techniques are applied to a model with a pair interaction between monomers to clarify the distinction between geometric and solvent contributions to excluded volume. Detailed calculations are undertaken for a hard-core potential and a mimic Lennard-Jones potential. The significance of the singularity in the binary cluster integral for calculations in the crossover regime is discussed.     

Curvature and finite domination

Upper bounds obtained by Gromov on the Betti numbers of certain closed Riemannian manifolds are shown to be upper bounds on the minimum number of cells in --spaces dominating such manifolds.

     

Stochastic dominance with nonadditive probabilities

Choquet expected utility which uses capacities (i.e. nonadditive probability measures) in place of-additive probability measures has been introduced to decision making under uncertainty to cope with observed effects of ambiguity aversion like the Ellsberg paradox. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for stochastic dominance between capacities (i.e. the expected utility with respect to one capacity exceeds that with respect to the other one for a given class of utility functions). One wide class of conditions refers to probability inequalities on certain families of sets. To yield another general class of conditions we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a probability measureP with f dC= f dP for all increasing functionsf whenC is a given capacity. Examples includen-th degree stochastic dominance on the reals and many cases of so-called set dominance. Finally, applications to decision making are given including anticipated utility with unknown distortion function.     

An application of the generalized alternating polynomials to the numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations

Generalized alternating polynomials have been introduced by the author earlier. In the present paper their indirect analogue is constructed for numerical solution of the Fredholm linear integral equations. Although the proposed method is a particular case of the general projection scheme, its valuable feature is the presence of a sequence of parameters, which, for sufficiently smooth kernels and inhomogeneous terms, serves as an indicator of the quality of approximation.     

偶极积分与Boys法分子轨道定域化

定域分子轨道在分子体系的化学图象和物理图象之间充当重要的桥梁作用,它的产生依赖于定域化准则,其中最普遍使用的是Foster-Boys和Edmiston-Ruedenberg(E—R)提出的两种定域化准则。这两种定域化准则是等价的,因而结果也是一致的。但对于E—R定域化来说,由于涉及到大量的多中心积分的计算,计算极为费时,因而远不如Foster-Boys定     

DIRECT SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS AND PLANT REGENERATION FROM PROTOPLAST-DERIVED CELLS OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)

Protoplasts were isolated from embryogenic calli derived from immature embryos ofwheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Jinan 177). The protoplasts were cultured in NMB mediumsupplemented with 1mg/L 2,4- D and 500mg/l casein hydrolysate (CH). The regenerated cellsfrom protoplasts divided to form somatic embryos directly. The somatic embryos grown to1.5- 2 mm in size directly developed into complete plants on solid MB medium without hor-mones.     

On a New Formulation of the Real-Time Propagator

The development of theoretical tools for the study of dynamical phenomena of many-particle systems on the quantum level is a fundamental challenge since many decades. A lot of efforts have been invested on Feynman's path integral approach, however, no computationally tractable method for investigating realistic systems could be developed up to now. In this paper we propose an alternative representation of the real-time many-body evolution operator formulated within the framework of the auxiliary field formalism. Our goal is to derive a new auxiliary field functional integral representation, in which the large oscillations of the functional integrand are reduced, in order to render the auxiliary field approach more attractive for real-time computation. This objective is attained using a generalized version of the method of Gaussian equivalent representation of Efimov and Ganbold [Phys. Stat. Sol. 168 (1991) 165], which eliminates the low-order fluctuations of the auxiliary field from the interaction functional.     

DFT Study on the （S）-Proline-catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction between Acetone and 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde

1 INTRODUCTION Aldol reaction, one of the most important C–C bond-formation reactions, is widely utilized in orga- nic synthesis[1]. Extensive efforts have been donated to the development of catalytic stereo-selective va- riants of this reaction[2]. However, the direct aldol reaction between unmodified carbonyles would be the most attractive synthetic alternative. Proline-catalyzed intermolecular direct aldol reac- tion between acetone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde was first reported by List…
