Classical Versus Quantum Equivalence Between Sine-Gordon,Liouville and Other Solitons

In this work we present a mapping between the classical solutions of the sine-Gordon, Liouville, ⁴ and other kinks in 1+1 dimensions. This is done by using an invariant quantity which relates the models. It is easily shown that this procedure is equivalent to that used to get the so called deformed solitons, as proposed recently by Bazeia et al. [Phys. Rev. D. 66 (2002) 101701(R)]. The classical equivalence is explored in order to relate the solutions of the corresponding models and, as a consequence, try to get new information about them. We discuss also the difficulties and consequences which appear when one tries to extend the deformation in order to take into account the quantum version of the models.     

The Halász Inequality for Additive Function of Rational Argument

We obtain an upper bound for the quantity . Here I is an interval, is the set of rational numbers q=m/n I such that nx, and f(q) is an arbitrary real-valued additive function of rational argument. The interval I and function f may depend on x3.     

Equivalence Principle Measurements

Over the centuries there have been many experimental tests of the universality of free-fall. To date, these measurements have established the equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass to high precision, justifying its use as a foundation stone of general relativity by Einstein. There is a surprising richness in the variety of techniques and choice of test bodies which have been used so far, and a brief review is presented. However, future space experiments promise much better precision in this measurement and STEP is presented in some detail as one of a number of such missions. Using pairs of concentric free-falling proof-masses, STEP will be able to test the Equivalence Principle (EP) to a sensitivity at least five orders of magnitude better than currently achievable on ground. The EP is a founding principle of general relativity and STEP is the most sensitive experiment of this type planned so far, aiming at 1 part in 10¹⁸.     

On the Problem of Describing Sequences of Best Trigonometric Rational Approximations

For a strictly decreasing sequence a_{n n=0} of nonnegative real numbers converging to zero, we construct a continuous 2-periodic function f such that R^T _n(f) = a_n, n=0,1,2,..., where R^T _n(f) are best approximations of the function f in uniform norm by trigonometric rational functions of degree at most n.     

Dunkl Operators for Complex Reflection Groups

Dunkl operators for complex reflection groups are defined inthis paper. These commuting operators give rise to a parameterizedfamily of deformations of the polynomial De Rham complex. Thisleads to the study of the polynomial ring as a module over the‘rational Cherednik algebra’, and a natural contravariantform on this module. In the case of the imprimitive complexreflection groups G(m, p, N), the set of singular parametersin the parameterized family of these structures is describedexplicitly, using the theory of non-symmetric Jack polynomials.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 20F55 (primary), 52C35,05E05, 33C08 (secondary).     

Consistent values and the core in continuum market games with two types of players

The consistent value is an extension of the Shapley value to the class of games with non-transferable utility.? In this paper, the consistent value will be characterized for market games with a continuum of players of two types. We will show that for such games the consistent value need not belong to the core, and provide conditions under which there is equivalence between the two concepts.

Equivalence Groups for First-Order Balance Equations and Applications to Electromagnetism

We investigate the groups of equivalence transformations for first-order balance equations involving an arbitrary number of dependent and independent variables. We obtain the determining equations and find their explicit solutions. The approach to this problem is based on a geometric method that depends on Cartan's exterior differential forms. The general solutions of the determining equations for equivalence transformations for first-order systems are applied to a class of the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics.     

Wreath Products and Universal Equivalence

We consider the question of preservation of universal equivalence for the cartesian and direct wreath products of lattice-ordered groups and groups. We prove that the basic rank is infinite of the quasivariety of torsion-free nilpotent groups of nilpotence length c (c2)     

On Stability and Trajectory Boundedness in Mean-square Sense for ARMA Processes

Abstract For the multidimensional ARMA system A(z)y_k=C(z)w_k it is shown that stability(det A(z)≠0,z:│z│≤1)of A(z) is equivalent to the trajectory boundedness in the mean square sense(MSS)which,as a rule,is a consequence of a successful stochastic adaptive control leading the closed-loop of an ARMAXsystem to a steady state ARMA system.In comparison with existing results the stability condition imposed onC(z)is no longer needed.The only structural requirement on the system is that det A(z) and det C(z) have nounstable common factor.     

Monodromy of Rational KZ Equations and Some Related Topics

A special class of integrable Fuchsian systems on C ⁿ related to KZ equations is considered. We survey the construction of such systems and the list of the structural properties their monodromy representations. The relation of the Fuchsian systems obtained by the Veselov construction assosiated with a deformation of the A _n–1-type root system and the Gauss–Manin connection of the natural projection C ⁿ C ^n–1 is described. In this case, we prove that the monodromy representation is equivalent to the Burau representation of the Artin braid group. For a deformations of the other root system, we introduce generalized Burau representations. We conjecture that the integrable Fuchsian systems related to essential new finite sets of the vectors described by Veselov and Chalykh are the result of the Klares–Schlesinger isomonodromic deformations (or transformation) of the integrable Fuchsian system related to the Coxeter root systems.
