Generalizing the autonomous Kepler Ermakov system in a Riemannian space

We generalize the two dimensional autonomous Hamiltonian Kepler Ermakov dynamical system to three dimensions using the sl(2,R) invariance of Noether symmetries and determine all three dimensional autonomous Hamiltonian Kepler Ermakov dynamical systems which are Liouville integrable via Noether symmetries. Subsequently we generalize the autonomous Kepler Ermakov system in a Riemannian space which admits a gradient homothetic vector by the requirements (a) that it admits a first integral (the Riemannian Ermakov invariant) and (b) it has sl(2,R) invariance. We consider both the non-Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian systems. In each case we compute the Riemannian Ermakov invariant and the equations defining the dynamical system. We apply the results in General Relativity and determine the autonomous Hamiltonian Riemannian Kepler Ermakov system in the spatially flat Friedman Robertson Walker spacetime. We consider a locally rotational symmetric (LRS) spacetime of class A and discuss two cosmological models. The first cosmological model consists of a scalar field with exponential potential and a perfect fluid with a stiff equation of state. The second cosmological model is the f(R) modified gravity model of {\Lambda}_{bc}CDM. It is shown that in both applications the gravitational field equations reduce to those of the generalized autonomous Riemannian Kepler Ermakov dynamical system which is Liouville integrable via Noether integrals.Comment: Reference [25] update, 21 page

Time-Dependent Invariants for Dirac Equation and Newton-Wigner Position Operator

For Dirac equation, operator-invariants containing explicit time-dependence in parallel to known time-dependent invariants of nonrelativistic Schr\"odinger equation are introduced and discussed. As an example, a free Dirac particle is considered and new invariants are constructed for it. The integral of motion, which is initial Newton-Wigner position operator, is obtained explicitly for a free Dirac particle. For such particle with kick modeled by delta-function of time, the time-depending integral, which has physical meaning of initial momentum, is found.Comment: LATEX,21 pages,submitted to Physica Script

Fast atomic transport without vibrational heating

We use the dynamical invariants associated with the Hamiltonian of an atom in a one dimensional moving trap to inverse engineer the trap motion and perform fast atomic transport without final vibrational heating. The atom is driven non-adiabatically through a shortcut to the result of adiabatic, slow trap motion. For harmonic potentials this only requires designing appropriate trap trajectories, whereas perfect transport in anharmonic traps may be achieved by applying an extra field to compensate the forces in the rest frame of the trap. The results can be extended to atom stopping or launching. The limitations due to geometrical constraints, energies and accelerations involved are analyzed, as well as the relation to previous approaches (based on classical trajectories or "fast-forward" and "bang-bang" methods) which can be integrated in the invariant-based framework.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure

Symmetry, singularities and integrability in complex dynamics III: approximate symmetries and invariants

The different natures of approximate symmetries and their corresponding first integrals/invariants are delineated in the contexts of both Lie symmetries of ordinary differential equations and Noether symmetries of the Action Integral. Particular note is taken of the effect of taking higher orders of the perturbation parameter. Approximate symmetries of approximate first integrals/invariants and the problems of calculating them using the Lie method are considered

Resonant enhancement of the jump rate in a double-well potential

We study the overdamped dynamics of a Brownian particle in the double-well potential under the influence of an external periodic (AC) force with zero mean. We obtain a dependence of the jump rate on the frequency of the external force. The dependence shows a maximum at a certain driving frequency. We explain the phenomenon as a switching between different time scales of the system: interwell relaxation time (the mean residence time) and the intrawell relaxation time. Dependence of the resonant peak on the system parameters, namely the amplitude of the driving force A and the noise strength (temperature) D has been explored. We observe that the effect is well pronounced when A/D > 1 and if A/D 1 the enhancement of the jump rate can be of the order of magnitude with respect to the Kramers rate.Comment: Published in J.

Vacuum energy and spectral function sum rules

We reformulate the problem of the cancellation of the ultraviolet divergencies of the vacuum energy, particularly important at the cosmological level, in terms of a saturation of spectral function sum rules which leads to a set of conditions on the spectrum of the fundamental theory. We specialize the approach to both Minkowski and de Sitter space-times and investigate some examples.Comment: 11 pages, revtex4, no figures, version to be published on PR

Finished plasma strengthening and restoration of fuel equipment details

© 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved. The results of the investigation of the physical and mechanical properties of diamond-like coatings of the DLCPateks type (a-C: H / a-SiOCN) obtained on friction surfaces by transporting the atomic and molecular flux of vapor particles of liquid chemical compounds by a plasma jet of an arc plasma torch of atmospheric pressure are presented. The layer formed on the working surfaces is a non-metallic amorphous multilayer coating with a low coefficient of friction, increased microhardness, chemical inertness, hydrophilicity, high heat resistance and dielectric characteristics. To minimize the possible defectiveness of the main material, it is proposed to apply thin-film coatings to them at the final stage of manufacturing fuel equipment parts

Lie symmetries for two-dimensional charged particle motion

We find the Lie point symmetries for non-relativistic two-dimensional charged particle motion. These symmetries comprise a quasi-invariance transformation, a time-dependent rotation, a time-dependent spatial translation and a dilation. The associated electromagnetic fields satisfy a system of first-order linear partial differential equations. This system is solved exactly, yielding four classes of electromagnetic fields compatible with Lie point symmetries
