On the solutions of the nonlinear Liouville hierarchy

We investigate the initial-value problem of the non-linear Liouville hierarchy. For the general form of the interaction potential we construct an explicit solution in terms of an expansion over particle clusters whose evolution is described by the corresponding-order cumulant of evolution operators of a system of finitely many particles. For the initial data from the space of integrable functions the existence of a strong solution of the Cauchy problem is proved.Comment: 9 page

Phase transition in the Higgs model of scalar dyons

In the present paper we investigate the phase transition "Coulomb--confinement" in the Higgs model of abelian scalar dyons -- particles having both, electric $e$ and magnetic $g$, charges. It is shown that by dual symmetry this theory is equivalent to scalar fields with the effective squared electric charge e^{*2}=e^2+g^2. But the Dirac relation distinguishes the electric and magnetic charges of dyons. The following phase transition couplings are obtained in the one--loop approximation: \alpha_{crit}=e^2_{crit}/4\pi\approx 0.19, \tilde\alpha_{crit}=g^2_{crit}/4\pi\approx 1.29 and \alpha^*_{crit}\approx 1.48.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure

Effects of Frustrated Surface in Heisenberg Thin Films

We study by extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and analytical Green function (GF) method effects of frustrated surfaces on the properties of thin films made of stacked triangular layers of atoms bearing Heisenberg spins with an Ising-like interaction anisotropy. We suppose that the in-plane surface interaction $J_s$ can be antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic while all other interactions are ferromagnetic. We show that the ground-state spin configuration is non linear when $J_s$ is lower than a critical value $J_s^c$. The film surfaces are then frustrated. In the frustrated case, there are two phase transitions related to disorderings of surface and interior layers. There is a good agreement between MC and GF results. In addition, we show from MC histogram calculation that the value of the ratio of critical exponents $\gamma/\nu$ of the observed transitions is deviated from the values of two and three Ising universality classes. The origin of this deviation is discussed with general physical arguments.Comment: 9 pages, 16 figure

Superfluid state of magnetoexcitons in double layer graphene structures

The possibility of realization of a superfluid state of bound electron-hole pairs (magnetoexcitons) with spatially separated components in a graphene double layer structure (two graphene layers separated by a dielectric layer) subjected by a strong perpendicular to the layers magnetic field is analyzed. We show that the superfluid state of magnetoexcitons may emerge only under certain imbalance of filling factors of the layers. The imbalance can be created by an electrostatic field (external gate voltage). The spectrum of elementary excitations is found and the dependence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature on the interlayer distance is obtained. The advantages of use graphene double layer systems instead of double quantum well GaAs heterostructures are discussed

On passage through resonances in volume-preserving systems

Resonance processes are common phenomena in multiscale (slow-fast) systems. In the present paper we consider capture into resonance and scattering on resonance in 3-D volume-preserving slow-fast systems. We propose a general theory of those processes and apply it to a class of viscous Taylor-Couette flows between two counter-rotating cylinders. We describe the phenomena during a single passage through resonance and show that multiple passages lead to the chaotic advection and mixing. We calculate the width of the mixing domain and estimate a characteristic time of mixing. We show that the resulting mixing can be described using a diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient depending on the averaged effect of the passages through resonances.Comment: 23 pages and 9 Figure

Heavy-to-light form factors: sum rules on the light cone and beyond

We report the first systematic analysis of the off-light-cone effects in sum rules for heavy-to-light form factors. These effects are investigated in a model based on scalar constituents, which allows a technically rather simple analysis but has the essential features of the analogous QCD calculation. The correlator relevant for the extraction of the heavy-to-light form factor is calculated in two different ways: first, by adopting the full Bethe-Salpeter amplitude of the light meson and, second, by performing the expansion of this amplitude near the light cone $x^2=0$. We demonstrate that the contributions to the correlator from the light-cone term $x^2=0$ and the off-light-cone terms $x^2\ne 0$ have the same order in the $1/m_Q$ expansion. The light-cone correlator, corresponding to $x^2=0$, is shown to systematically overestimate the full correlator, the difference being $\sim \Lambda_{\rm QCD}/\delta$, with $\delta$ the continuum subtraction parameter of order 1 GeV. Numerically, this difference is found to be 10-20%.Comment: revtex 14 pages, version to be published in Phys. Rev. D (discussion in Sect. 3 extended, example in Sect. 4 added

Nonlinear Bogolyubov-Valatin transformations and quaternions

In introducing second quantization for fermions, Jordan and Wigner (1927/1928) observed that the algebra of a single pair of fermion creation and annihilation operators in quantum mechanics is closely related to the algebra of quaternions H. For the first time, here we exploit this fact to study nonlinear Bogolyubov-Valatin transformations (canonical transformations for fermions) for a single fermionic mode. By means of these transformations, a class of fermionic Hamiltonians in an external field is related to the standard Fermi oscillator.Comment: 6 pages REVTEX (v3: two paragraphs appended, minor stylistic changes, eq.

Thermal Bogoliubov transformation in nuclear structure theory

Thermal Bogoliubov transformation is an essential ingredient of the thermo field dynamics -- the real time formalism in quantum field and many-body theories at finite temperatures developed by H. Umezawa and coworkers. The approach to study properties of hot nuclei which is based on the extension of the well-known Quasiparticle-Phonon Model to finite temperatures employing the TFD formalism is presented. A distinctive feature of the QPM-TFD combination is a possibility to go beyond the standard approximations like the thermal Hartree-Fock or the thermal RPA ones.Comment: 8 pages, Proceedings of the International Bogolyubov Conference "Problems of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics", August 23 -- 27, 2009, Dubna, Russi

Anderson Localization of Bogolyubov Quasiparticles in Interacting Bose-Einstein Condensates

We study the Anderson localization of Bogolyubov quasiparticles in an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (with healing length \xi) subjected to a random potential (with finite correlation length \sigma_R). We derive analytically the Lyapunov exponent as a function of the quasiparticle momentum k and we study the localization maximum k_{max}. For 1D speckle potentials, we find that k_{max} is proportional to 1/\xi when \xi is much larger than \sigma_R while k_{max} is proportional to 1/\sigma_R when \xi is much smaller than \sigma_R, and that the localization is strongest when \xi is of the order of \sigma_R. Numerical calculations support our analysis and our estimates indicate that the localization of the Bogolyubov quasiparticles is accessible in current experiments with ultracold atoms.Comment: published version (no significant changes compared to last version

Electronic Orbital Currents and Polarization in Mott Insulators

The standard view is that at low energies Mott insulators exhibit only magnetic properties while charge degrees of freedom are frozen out as the electrons become localized by a strong Coulomb repulsion. We demonstrate that this is in general not true: for certain spin textures {\it spontaneous circular electric currents} or {\it nonuniform charge distribution} exist in the ground state of Mott insulators. In addition, low-energy ``magnetic'' states contribute comparably to the dielectric and magnetic functions $\epsilon_{ik}(\omega)$ and $\mu_{ik}(\omega)$ leading to interesting phenomena such as rotation the electric field polarization and resonances which may be common for both functions producing a negative refraction index in a window of frequencies
