A search on Dirac equation

The solutions, in terms of orthogonal polynomials, of Dirac equation with analytically solvable potentials are investigated within a novel formalism by transforming the relativistic equation into a Schrodinger like one. Earlier results are discussed in a unified framework and certain solutions of a large class of potentials are given.Comment: 9 page

Orthogonal polynomials of discrete variable and Lie algebras of complex size matrices

We give a uniform interpretation of the classical continuous Chebyshev's and Hahn's orthogonal polynomials of discrete variable in terms of Feigin's Lie algebra gl(N), where N is any complex number. One can similarly interpret Chebyshev's and Hahn's q-polynomials and introduce orthogonal polynomials corresponding to Lie superlagebras. We also describe the real forms of gl(N), quasi-finite modules over gl(N), and conditions for unitarity of the quasi-finite modules. Analogs of tensors over gl(N) are also introduced.Comment: 25 pages, LaTe

h analogue of Newton's binomial formula

In this letter, the $h$--analogue of Newton's binomial formula is obtained in the $h$--deformed quantum plane which does not have any $q$--analogue. For $h=0$, this is just the usual one as it should be. Furthermore, the binomial coefficients reduce to $\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}$ for $h=1$. \\ Some properties of the $h$--binomial coefficients are also given. \\ Finally, I hope that such results will contribute to an introduction of the $h$--analogue of the well--known functions, $h$--special functions and $h$--deformed analysis.Comment: 6 pages, latex Jounal-ref: J.

A search on the Nikiforov-Uvarov formalism

An alternative treatment is proposed for the calculations carried out within the frame of Nikiforov-Uvarov method, which removes a drawback in the original theory and by pass some difficulties in solving the Schrodinger equation. The present procedure is illustrated with the example of orthogonal polynomials. The relativistic extension of the formalism is discussed.Comment: 10 page

Discrete Darboux transformation for discrete polynomials of hypergeometric type

Darboux Transformation, well known in second order differential operator theory, is applied here to the difference equation satisfied by the discrete hypergeometric polynomials(Charlier, Meixner-Krawchuk, Hahn)

Comment on Vortex Mass and Quantum Tunneling of Vortices

Vortex mass in Fermi superfluids and superconductors and its influence on quantum tunneling of vortices are discussed. The vortex mass is essentially enhanced due to the fermion zero modes in the core of the vortex: the bound states of the Bogoliubov qiasiparticles localized in the core. These bound states form the normal component which is nonzero even in the low temperature limit. In the collisionless regime $\omega_0\tau \gg 1$, the normal component trapped by the vortex is unbound from the normal component in the bulk superfluid/superconductors and adds to the inertial mass of the moving vortex. In the d-wave superconductors, the vortex mass has an additional factor $(B_{c2}/B)^{1/2}$ due to the gap nodes.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, version accepted in JETP Letter

Trace identities and their semiclassical implications

The compatibility of the semiclassical quantization of area-preserving maps with some exact identities which follow from the unitarity of the quantum evolution operator is discussed. The quantum identities involve relations between traces of powers of the evolution operator. For classically {\it integrable} maps, the semiclassical approximation is shown to be compatible with the trace identities. This is done by the identification of stationary phase manifolds which give the main contributions to the result. The same technique is not applicable for {\it chaotic} maps, and the compatibility of the semiclassical theory in this case remains unsettled. The compatibility of the semiclassical quantization with the trace identities demonstrates the crucial importance of non-diagonal contributions.Comment: LaTeX - IOP styl

Magnetic vortex as a ground state for micron-scale antiferromagnetic samples

Here we consider micron-sized samples with any axisymmetric body shape and made with a canted antiferromagnet, like hematite or iron borate. We find that its ground state can be a magnetic vortex with a topologically non-trivial distribution of the sublattice magnetization $\vec{l}$ and planar coreless vortex-like structure for the net magnetization $\vec{M}$. For antiferromagnetic samples in the vortex state, in addition to low-frequency modes, we find high-frequency modes with frequencies over the range of hundreds of gigahertz, including a mode localized in a region of radius $\sim$ 30--40 nm near the vortex core.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figur

Vortex motion in a finite-size easy-plane ferromagnet and application to a nanodot

We study the motion of a non-planar vortex in a circular easy-plane ferromagnet, which imitates a magnetic nanodot. Analysis was done using numerical simulations and a new collective variable theory which includes the coupling of Goldstone-like mode with the vortex center. Without magnetic field the vortex follows a spiral orbit which we calculate. When a rotating in-plane magnetic field is included, the vortex tends to a stable limit cycle which exists in a significant range of field amplitude B and frequency $\omega$ for a given system size L. For a fixed $\omega$, the radius R of the orbital motion is proportional to L while the orbital frequency $\Omega$ varies as 1/L and is significantly smaller than $\omega$. Since the limit cycle is caused by the interplay between the magnetization and the vortex motion, the internal mode is essential in the collective variable theory which then gives the correct estimate and dependency for the orbit radius $R\sim B L/\omega$. Using this simple theory we indicate how an ac magnetic field can be used to control vortices observed in real magnetic nanodots.Comment: 15 pages (RevTeX), 14 figures (eps
