On the index of the boundary value problem for a homogeneous Hamiltonian system of differential equations

The index of the homogeneous self-adjoint boundary value problem for the Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations is introduced. It is assumed that the system has a nontrivial solution. The relationship between the index of an eigenvalue of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and the index of the corresponding homogeneous problem is established. Properties of the index of the problem and those of the eigenvalue are examined.     

Critical exponents of Manhattan Hamiltonian walks in two dimensions,from Potts andO(n) models

We consider a set of Hamiltonian circuits filling a Manhattan lattice, i.e., a square lattice with alternating traffic regulation. We show that the generating function (with fugacityz) of this set is identical to the critical partition function of aq-state Potts model on an unoriented square lattice withq ^1/2 =z. The set of critical exponents governing correlations of Hamiltonian circuits is derived using a Coulomb gas technique. These exponents are also found to be those of an O(n) vector model in the low-temperature phase withn =q ^1/2 =z. The critical exponents in the limitz = 0 are then those of spanning trees (q= 0) and of dense polymers (n=0,T < T_c), corresponding to a conformal theory with central chargeC = –2. This shows that the Manhattan orientation and the Hamiltonian constraint of filling all the lattice are irrelevant for the infrared critical properties of Hamiltonian walks.     

Can the electron magnetic resonance (EMR) techniques measure the crystal (ligand) field parameters?

In this paper, the question posed in the title is critically examined on the basis of the available literature evidence implying the positive answer. The distinction between, on the one hand, the actual crystal field (CF) or equivalently ligand field (LF) related quantities and, on the other hand, the actual zero-field splitting (ZFS) or equivalently fine structure (FS) quantities, is elucidated. The origin and possible roots of the incorrect terminology consisting in mixing up the two physically distinct quantities at different levels are examined. Aspects concerning Hamiltonians, parameters, energy level splitting, and nature of the operators involved are taken into account. Problems with the various notations for the operators and parameters used in the electron magnetic resonance (EMR) area are also identified and reviewed. A large number of cases of incorrect terminology and other inconsistencies identified in the course of a comprehensive literature survey are analyzed and systematically classified. Implications of the confusion in question, which go beyond the simple semantic issues, are discussed. The results of the survey reveal that the two most serious categories of this confusion lead to misinterpretation of the experimental EMR data. Several examples of serious misinterpretations found in the books, reviews, and original papers are discussed. The incorrect terminology contributes also to misleading keyword classifications of papers in journals as well as references in scientific literature databases. Thus, the database searches may produce unreliable outcomes. Examples of such outcomes are also shown. It is concluded that, in order to prevent further proliferation of the incorrect terminology and thus to increase reliability of the published EMR data, a concerted effort within the EMR community is indispensable. Various ways in this regard at the international level are suggested.     

Extremal k-edge-hamiltonian hypergraphs

An r-uniform hypergraph is k-edge-hamiltonian iff it still contains a hamiltonian-chain after deleting any k edges of the hypergraph. What is the minimum number of edges in such a hypergraph? We give lower and upper bounds for this question for several values of r and k.     

Numerical Energy Conservation for Multi-Frequency Oscillatory Differential Equations

The long-time near-conservation of the total and oscillatory energies of numerical integrators for Hamiltonian systems with highly oscillatory solutions is studied in this paper. The numerical methods considered are symmetric trigonometric integrators and the St?rmer–Verlet method. Previously obtained results for systems with a single high frequency are extended to the multi-frequency case, and new insight into the long-time behaviour of numerical solutions is gained for resonant frequencies. The results are obtained using modulated multi-frequency Fourier expansions and the Hamiltonian-like structure of the modulation system. A brief discussion of conservation properties in the continuous problem is also included. AMS subject classification (2000) 65L05, 65P10     

Global properties of integrable Hamiltonian systems

This paper deals with Lagrangian bundles which are symplectic torus bundles that occur in integrable Hamiltonian systems. We review the theory of obstructions to triviality, in particular monodromy, as well as the ensuing classification problems which involve the Chern and Lagrange class. Our approach, which uses simple ideas from differential geometry and algebraic topology, reveals the fundamental role of the integer affine structure on the base space of these bundles. We provide a geometric proof of the classification of Lagrangian bundles with fixed integer affine structure by their Lagrange class.      

Kolmogorov’s 1954 paper on nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems

Following closely Kolmogorov’s original paper [1], we give a complete proof of his celebrated Theorem on perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian systems by including few “straightforward” estimates.      

Hamilton非二部图的弱泛圈性

图G称为弱泛圈图是指G包含了每个长为t(g(V)≤l≤c(G))的圈,其中g(G),c(v)分别是G的围长与周长.1997年Brandt提出以下猜想:边数大于[n2/4]-n 5的n阶非二部图为弱泛圈图.1999年Bollobas和Thomason证明了边数不小于[n2/4]-n 59的n阶非二部图为弱泛圈图.作者证明了如下结论:设G是n阶Hamilton非二部图,若G的边数不小于[n2/4]-n 12,则G为弱泛圈图.     

Effective interactions in the periodic Anderson model in the regime of mixed valency with strong correlations

For the periodic Anderson model in the strong correlation regime, we construct the effective Hamiltonian H _eff up to terms of the fourth order in the parameter V/U, where V is the hybridization interaction intensity and U is the intra-atom Coulomb repulsion strength. This Hamiltonian contains interactions inducing both magnetic ordering and Cooper instability under conditions of a mixed valency of rare-earth ions. Based on numerical calculations, we obtain information about the dependences of the effective interaction parameters on the distance between crystal lattice sites. We demonstrate that realizing exchange interactions corresponds to a strongly frustrated system of localized spin moments and facilitates the suppression of the antiferromagnetic order parameter with a possible transition to the state of a quantum spin liquid. It is essential that among the terms in H _eff inducing the transition to the superconductivity phase, there are terms resulting in the d-type symmetry of the superconductivity order parameter; such a symmetry is realized in many heavy-fermion compounds. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 157, No. 2, pp. 235–249, November, 2008.
