Critical Behaviour of 3D Systems with Long-Range Correlated Quenched Defects

A field-theoretic description of the critical behaviour of systems with quenched defects obeying a power law correlations $\sim |{\bf x}|^{-a}$ for large separations ${\bf x}$ is given. Directly for three-dimensional systems and different values of correlation parameter $2\leq a \leq 3$ a renormalization analysis of scaling function in the two-loop approximation is carried out, and the fixed points corresponding to stability of the various types of critical behaviour are identified. The obtained results essentially differ from results evaluated by double $\epsilon, \delta$ - expansion. The critical exponents in the two-loop approximation are calculated with the use of the Pade-Borel summation technique.Comment: Submitted to J. Phys. A, Letter to Editor 9 pages, 4 figure

Infinite matrices may violate the associative law

The momentum operator for a particle in a box is represented by an infinite order Hermitian matrix $P$. Its square $P^2$ is well defined (and diagonal), but its cube $P^3$ is ill defined, because $P P^2\neq P^2 P$. Truncating these matrices to a finite order restores the associative law, but leads to other curious results.Comment: final version in J. Phys. A28 (1995) 1765-177

Effect of structural defects on anomalous ultrasound propagation in solids during second-order phase transitions

The effect of structural defects on the critical ultrasound attenuation and ultrasound velocity dispersion in Ising-like three-dimensional systems is studied. A field-theoretical description of the dynamic effects of acoustic-wave propagation in solids during phase transitions is performed with allowance for both fluctuation and relaxation attenuation mechanisms. The temperature and frequency dependences of the scaling functions of the attenuation coefficient and the ultrasound velocity dispersion are calculated in a two-loop approximation for pure and structurally disordered systems, and their asymptotic behavior in hydrodynamic and critical regions is separated. As compared to a pure system, the presence of structural defects in it is shown to cause a stronger increase in the sound attenuation coefficient and the sound velocity dispersion even in the hydrodynamic region as the critical temperature is reached. As compared to pure analogs, structurally disordered systems should exhibit stronger temperature and frequency dependences of the acoustic characteristics in the critical region.Comment: 7 RevTeX pages, 4 figure

Functional Limit Theorems for Multiparameter Fractional Brownian Motion

We prove a general functional limit theorem for multiparameter fractional Brownian motion. The functional law of the iterated logarithm, functional L\'{e}vy's modulus of continuity and many other results are its particular cases. Applications to approximation theory are discussed.Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 23 page

Calculations of the dynamical critical exponent using the asymptotic series summation method

We consider how the Pad'e-Borel, Pad'e-Borel-Leroy, and conformal mapping summation methods for asymptotic series can be used to calculate the dynamical critical exponent for homogeneous and disordered Ising-like systems.Comment: 21 RevTeX pages, 2 figure

Spontaneous generation of the Nambu --Jona-Lazinio interaction in quantum chromodynamics with two light quarks

In QCD with two light quarks with application of Bogolubov quasi-averages approach a possibility of spontaneous generation of an effective interaction, leading to the Nambu -- Jona-Lazinio model, is studied. Compensation equations for form-factor of the interaction is shown to have the non-trivial solution leading to theory with two parameters: average low-energy value of $\alpha_s$ and dimensional parameter $f_\pi$. All other parameters: the current and the constituent quark masses, the quark condensate, mass of $\pi$ meson, mass of $\sigma$ meson and its width are expressed in terms of the two initial parameters in satisfactory correspondence to experimental phenomenology. The results being obtained allow to state an applicability of the approach in the low-energy hadron physics and promising possibilities of its applications to other problems.Comment: 16 pages, 1 table, 3 figure

Laminated Wave Turbulence: Generic Algorithms II

The model of laminated wave turbulence puts forth a novel computational problem - construction of fast algorithms for finding exact solutions of Diophantine equations in integers of order $10^{12}$ and more. The equations to be solved in integers are resonant conditions for nonlinearly interacting waves and their form is defined by the wave dispersion. It is established that for the most common dispersion as an arbitrary function of a wave-vector length two different generic algorithms are necessary: (1) one-class-case algorithm for waves interacting through scales, and (2) two-class-case algorithm for waves interacting through phases. In our previous paper we described the one-class-case generic algorithm and in our present paper we present the two-class-case generic algorithm.Comment: to appear in J.
