    Range restricted C2 interpolant to scattered data

    Get PDF
    The construction of a range restricted bivariate C2 interpolant to scattered data is considered in which the interpolant is positive everywhere if the original data are positive. Sufficient conditions are derived on Bezier points in order to ensure that surfaces comprising quintic Bezier triangular patches are always positive and satisfy C2 continuity conditions. The first and second derivatives at the data sites are then calculated (and modified if necessary) to ensure that these conditions are satisfied. Its construction is local and easily extended to include as upper and lower constraints to the interpolating surfaces of the form z = C(x,y) where C is a polynomial of degree less or equal to 5. A number of examples are presented

    Electron self-trapping on a nano-circle

    Full text link
    We study the self-trapping of quasiparticles (electrons, holes, excitons, etc) in a molecular chain with the structure of a ring, taking into account the electron-phonon interaction and the radial and tangential deformations of the chain. A discrete system of equations is obtained and solved numerically. The analytical solutions for the wave function of a quasiparticle and for the molecule displacements that determine the distortion of the ring, are also obtained and solved in the continuum approximation. The numerical solutions of the system of discrete nonlinear equations reveals several regimes of quasiparticle localisation in the chain which depend on the values of the parameters of the system. It is shown that the transversal deformation of the chain favours the formation of a soliton.Comment: 43 pages 9 figure

    Freezing/melting of water in the confined nanospace of carbon materials: Effect of an external stimulus

    Get PDF
    Freezing/melting behavior of water confined in the nanopores of activated carbon materials has been evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different water loadings, and after the application of an external stimulus. Under atmospheric pressure conditions, the DSC scans show a depression in the freezing/melting point of confined water compared to the bulk system. Interestingly, water confined in narrow micropores (pores below 0.7 nm) does not exhibit any phase transition, i.e. it is non-freezable water. Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data confirm the presence of a distorted molecular assembly in narrow micropores, whereas synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data (SXRPD) demonstrate the non-freezable nature of the water confined in these narrow-constrictions. Similar experiments under high-pressure CH4 give rise to a completely different scenario. Under high-pressure conditions methane hydrates are formed with a water-to-hydrate yield of 100% for the under-saturated and saturated samples, i.e. in the presence of an external stimulus even water in narrow micropores is prone to experience a liquid-to-solid phase transition. These results confirm the beneficial role of carbon as a host structure to promote nucleation and growth of methane hydrates with faster kinetics and a higher yield compared to the bulk system and to other porous materials.The authors would like to acknowledge financial support from the MINECO (MAT2016-80285-p), Generalitat Valenciana (PROMETEOII/2014/004), H2020 (MSCA-RISE-2016/NanoMed Project), Spanish ALBA synchrotron (Projects 2018022707 & 2019023322) and Oak Ridge beam time availability (Project IPTS-20843.1)

    Once again about quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra: twistings of q-deformation

    Full text link
    This paper together with the previous one (arXiv:hep-th/0604146) presents the detailed description of all quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra as Hopf algebra in terms of complex and real generators. We describe here in detail two quantum deformations of the D=4 Lorentz algebra o(3,1) obtained by twisting of the standard q-deformation U_{q}(o(3,1)). For the first twisted q-deformation an Abelian twist depending on Cartan generators of o(3,1) is used. The second example of twisting provides a quantum deformation of Cremmer-Gervais type for the Lorentz algebra. For completeness we describe also twisting of the Lorentz algebra by standard Jordanian twist. By twist quantization techniques we obtain for these deformations new explicit formulae for the deformed coproducts and antipodes of the o(3,1)-generators.Comment: 17 page

    A Chern-Simons approach to Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions

    Full text link
    We define and discuss classical and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions in the Galilean limit. Although there are no Newtonian forces between massive objects in (2+1)-dimensional gravity, the Galilean limit is not trivial. Depending on the topology of spacetime there are typically finitely many topological degrees of freedom as well as topological interactions of Aharonov-Bohm type between massive objects. In order to capture these topological aspects we consider a two-fold central extension of the Galilei group whose Lie algebra possesses an invariant and non-degenerate inner product. Using this inner product we define Galilean gravity as a Chern-Simons theory of the doubly-extended Galilei group. The particular extension of the Galilei group we consider is the classical double of a much studied group, the extended homogeneous Galilei group, which is also often called Nappi-Witten group. We exhibit the Poisson-Lie structure of the doubly extended Galilei group, and quantise the Chern-Simons theory using a Hamiltonian approach. Many aspects of the quantum theory are determined by the quantum double of the extended homogenous Galilei group, or Galilei double for short. We study the representation theory of the Galilei double, explain how associated braid group representations account for the topological interactions in the theory, and briefly comment on an associated non-commutative Galilean spacetime.Comment: 38 pages, 1 figure, references update

    The fusion algebra of bimodule categories

    Full text link
    We establish an algebra-isomorphism between the complexified Grothendieck ring F of certain bimodule categories over a modular tensor category and the endomorphism algebra of appropriate morphism spaces of those bimodule categories. This provides a purely categorical proof of a conjecture by Ostrik concerning the structure of F. As a by-product we obtain a concrete expression for the structure constants of the Grothendieck ring of the bimodule category in terms of endomorphisms of the tensor unit of the underlying modular tensor category.Comment: 16 page

    Free q-Schrodinger Equation from Homogeneous Spaces of the 2-dim Euclidean Quantum Group

    Full text link
    After a preliminary review of the definition and the general properties of the homogeneous spaces of quantum groups, the quantum hyperboloid qH and the quantum plane qP are determined as homogeneous spaces of Fq(E(2)). The canonical action of Eq(2) is used to define a natural q-analog of the free Schro"dinger equation, that is studied in the momentum and angular momentum bases. In the first case the eigenfunctions are factorized in terms of products of two q-exponentials. In the second case we determine the eigenstates of the unitary representation, which, in the qP case, are given in terms of Hahn-Exton functions. Introducing the universal T-matrix for Eq(2) we prove that the Hahn-Exton as well as Jackson q-Bessel functions are also obtained as matrix elements of T, thus giving the correct extension to quantum groups of well known methods in harmonic analysis.Comment: 19 pages, plain tex, revised version with added materia
