ON THE SYMPLECTIC REDUCTIONS

A symplectic reduction method for symplectic G-spaces is given in this paper without usingthe existence of momentum mappings.By a method similar to the above one,the arthorsgive a symplectic reduction method for the Poisson action of Poisson Lie groups on symplecticmanifolds,also without using the existence of momentum mappings.The symplectic reductionmethod for momentum mappings is thus a special case of the above results.     

Longitudinal momentum mining of beam particles in a storage ring

I describe a scheme for selectively isolating high density low longitudinal emittance beam particles in a storage ring from the rest of the beam without emittance dilution. I discuss the general principle of the method, called longitudinal momentum mining, beam dynamics simulations and results of beam experiments. Multi-particle beam dynamics simulations applied to the Fermilab 8 GeV Recycler (a storage ring) convincingly validate the concepts and feasibility of the method, which I have demonstrated with beam experiments in the Recycler. The method presented here is the first of its kind.     

Interaction of an axially moving band and surrounding fluid by boundary layer theory

The vibration characteristics of a submerged axially moving band are investigated. Where earlier studies used the ideal fluid assumption for modelling the effect of the surrounding air, the viscous flow of the air particles is included here by using an analytical model of a boundary layer on moving continuous flat surfaces. In order to use this theory to calculate boundary layer thicknesses, the shape of the boundary layer was assumed, so that the additional mass terms coming from the boundary layer flow could then be evaluated. Since the coefficients of the equation of motion for the submerged axially moving band changes as a function of the longitudinal coordinate, due to the change in the boundary layer, the equation is solved by the finite element method. The results show the difference between the present results and earlier ones to be significant, close to the critical velocity.     

The reduced spaces of a symplectic Lie group action

There exist three main approaches to reduction associated to canonical Lie group actions on a symplectic manifold, namely, foliation reduction, introduced by Cartan, Marsden-Weinstein reduction, and optimal reduction, introduced by the authors. When the action is free, proper, and admits a momentum map these three approaches coincide. The goal of this paper is to study the general case of a symplectic action that does not admit a momentum map and one needs to use its natural generalization, a cylinder valued momentum map introduced by Condevaux et al. In this case it will be shown that the three reduced spaces mentioned above do not coincide, in general. More specifically, the Marsden-Weinstein reduced spaces are not symplectic but Poisson and their symplectic leaves are given by the optimal reduced spaces. Foliation reduction produces a symplectic reduced space whose Poisson quotient by a certain Lie group associated to the group of symmetries of the problem equals the Marsden-Weinstein reduced space. We illustrate these constructions with concrete examples, special emphasis being given to the reduction of a magnetic cotangent bundle of a Lie group in the situation when the magnetic term ensures the non-existence of the momentum map for the lifted action. The precise relation of the cylinder valued momentum map with group valued momentum maps for Abelian Lie groups is also given.     

Hybrid methodology for technical analysis

Hybrid methodology involving differential equations modeling and statistical regression is developed in order to test basic ideas in asset price dynamics. In particular, the method provides a mechanism for testing the relative importance of price trend compared with valuation. The significance of yearly highs in prices can also be understood through this procedure. A large data set of 52 closed-end funds comprising about 61,500 data points is used with the mixed effects model in SPlus. The model suggests that the role of the trend is as significant as the valuation. Upon determination of the coefficients, one has a model that can be used for short term forecasts of asset prices. The model incorporates the finiteness of assets and the importance of “liquidity”, or “excess cash”. The statistics utilize data on the number of shares and the national money supply. The methodology can easily be extended to other behavioral effects.     

Radial electron-pair densities in momentum space and shell structure of atoms

 The radial electron-pair intracule (relative motion) H(u) and extracule (center-of-mass motion) D(R) densities in position space were known to reveal four types of maxima which are related to the four inner electron shells, K, L, M, and N, of atoms. The corresponding radial electron-pair intracule Hˉ(v) and extracule Dˉ(P) densities in momentum space are studied for the 102 atoms from He (atomic number Z=2) to Lr (Z=103). The densities Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) are found to have either one maximum or two maxima, and the numbers of maxima in Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) are the same for 98 atoms. For these atoms, the locations υ _max and P _max and the heights Hˉ _max and Dˉ _max of the corresponding maxima satisfy the approximate relations υ _max ≅ 2P _max and Hˉ _max ≅Dˉ _max /2. On the basis of their Z-dependence, the maxima in Hˉ(v) and Dˉ(P) of the 102 atoms are classified into five types. Shell-pair decompositions of the radial densities show that these maxima reflect five outer electron shells of atoms.

Portfolio symmetry and momentum

This paper presents a novel theoretical framework to model the evolution of a dynamic portfolio (i.e., a portfolio whose weights vary over time), considering a given investment policy. The framework is based on graph theory and the quantum probability. Embedding the dynamics of a portfolio into a graph, each node of the graph representing a plausible portfolio, we provide the probabilities for a dynamic portfolio to lie on different nodes of the graph, characterizing its optimality in terms of returns. The framework embeds cross-sectional phenomena, such as the momentum effect, in stochastic processes, using portfolios instead of individual stocks. We apply our methodology to an investment policy similar to the momentum strategy of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993). We find that the strategy symmetry is a source of momentum.     

CFD methodology for sedimentation tanks: The effect of secondary phase on fluid phase using DPM coupled calculations

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are employed in order to simulate the 3D hydrodynamics and flow behaviour in a sedimentation tank. Unlike most of the previous numerical investigations, in the present paper the momentum exchange between the primary and the secondary phase is taken into account, using a Lagrangian method (discrete phase model) with two-way coupled calculations. By computing particle trajectories the proposed numerical model can track the momentum gained or lost by the particle stream that follows that trajectory and these quantities can be incorporated in the subsequent continuous phase calculations. Thus, while the continuous phase always impacts the discrete phase, the effect of the discrete phase trajectories on the continuum can be incorporated. This interchange affects fluid velocity, especially in the case of large particles sizes, which have a greater relaxation time in relation to the characteristic time of the tank. The present investigation compares a series of numerical simulations for a sedimentation tank with varying particle diameters and volume fractions, in order to identify the influence of the secondary phase to the primary phase and vice-versa and the way that this influence affects the efficiency of the tank.
