Feasibility of an EHF (40/50 GHz) mobile satellite system using highly inclined orbits
The pan-European L-band terrestrial cellular system (GSM) is expected to provide service to more than 10 million users by the year 2000. Discussed here is the feasibility of a new satellite system at EHF (40/50 GHz) to complement, at the end of the decade, the GSM system or its decendants in order to provide additional services at 64 kbits/s, or so. The main system aspects, channel characteristics, technology issues, and both on-board and earth terminal architectures are highlighted. Based on the performed analyses, a proposal was addressed to the Italian Space Agency (ASI), aimed at the implementation of a national plan
The TQ equation of the 8 vertex model for complex elliptic roots of unity
We extend our studies of the TQ equation introduced by Baxter in his 1972
solution of the 8 vertex model with parameter given by

We find that there are several different cases depending on the parity of

Universal Baxterization for -graded Hopf algebras
We present a method for Baxterizing solutions of the constant Yang-Baxter
equation associated with -graded Hopf algebras. To demonstrate the
approach, we provide examples for the Taft algebras and the quantum group

Supersymmetric version of a Gaussian irrotational compressible fluid flow
The Lie point symmetries and corresponding invariant solutions are obtained
for a Gaussian, irrotational, compressible fluid flow. A supersymmetric
extension of this model is then formulated through the use of a superspace and
superfield formalism. The Lie superalgebra of this extended model is determined
and a classification of its subalgebras is performed. The method of symmetry
reduction is systematically applied in order to derive special classes of
invariant solutions of the supersymmetric model. Several new types of
algebraic, hyperbolic, multi-solitonic and doubly periodic solutions are
obtained in explicit form.Comment: Expanded introduction and added new section on classical Gaussian
fluid flow. Included several additional reference
Group theoretical construction of mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of prime dimensions
Mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of finite dimensions are closely
related to the quantal notion of complementarity. An alternative proof of
existence of a maximal collection of N+1 mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert
spaces of prime dimension N is given by exploiting the finite Heisenberg group
(also called the Pauli group) and the action of SL(2,Z_N) on finite phase space
Z_N x Z_N implemented by unitary operators in the Hilbert space. Crucial for
the proof is that, for prime N, Z_N is also a finite field.Comment: 13 pages; accepted in J. Phys. A: Math. Theo
Correlation Functions of One-Dimensional Lieb-Liniger Anyons
We have investigated the properties of a model of 1D anyons interacting
through a -function repulsive potential. The structure of the
quasi-periodic boundary conditions for the anyonic field operators and the
many-anyon wavefunctions is clarified. The spectrum of the low-lying
excitations including the particle-hole excitations is calculated for periodic
and twisted boundary conditions. Using the ideas of the conformal field theory
we obtain the large-distance asymptotics of the density and field correlation
function at the critical temperature T=0 and at small finite temperatures. Our
expression for the field correlation function extends the results in the
literature obtained for harmonic quantum anyonic fluids.Comment: 19 pages, RevTeX
Collapse models with non-white noises
We set up a general formalism for models of spontaneous wave function
collapse with dynamics represented by a stochastic differential equation driven
by general Gaussian noises, not necessarily white in time. In particular, we
show that the non-Schrodinger terms of the equation induce the collapse of the
wave function to one of the common eigenstates of the collapsing operators, and
that the collapse occurs with the correct quantum probabilities. We also
develop a perturbation expansion of the solution of the equation with respect
to the parameter which sets the strength of the collapse process; such an
approximation allows one to compute the leading order terms for the deviations
of the predictions of collapse models with respect to those of standard quantum
mechanics. This analysis shows that to leading order, the ``imaginary'' noise
trick can be used for non-white Gaussian noise.Comment: Latex, 20 pages;references added and minor revisions; published as J.

Remarks on "Resolving isospectral `drums' by counting nodal domains"
In [3] the authors studied the 4-parameter family of isospectral flat 4-tori
T^\pm(a,b,c,d) discovered by Conway and Sloane. With a particular method of
counting nodal domains they were able to distinguish these tori (numerically)
by computing the corresponding nodal sequences relative to a few explicit
tuples (a,b,c,d). In this note we confirm the expectation expressed in [3] by
proving analytically that their nodal count distinguishes any 4-tuple of
distinct positive real numbers.Comment: 5 page
Third and fourth degree collisional moments for inelastic Maxwell models
The third and fourth degree collisional moments for -dimensional inelastic
Maxwell models are exactly evaluated in terms of the velocity moments, with
explicit expressions for the associated eigenvalues and cross coefficients as
functions of the coefficient of normal restitution. The results are applied to
the analysis of the time evolution of the moments (scaled with the thermal
speed) in the free cooling problem. It is observed that the characteristic
relaxation time toward the homogeneous cooling state decreases as the
anisotropy of the corresponding moment increases. In particular, in contrast to
what happens in the one-dimensional case, all the anisotropic moments of degree
equal to or less than four vanish in the homogeneous cooling state for .Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures; v2: addition of two new reference
