Anyons on a Torus

We prove the equivalence between anyon quantum mechanics on a torus and Chern-Simons gauge theory. It is also shown that the Hamiltonian and total momenta commute among themselves only in the physical Hilbert space.Comment: 4 pages, plain TeX, UMN-TH-1116/9

Prepotential approach to solvable rational potentials and exceptional orthogonal polynomials

We show how all the quantal systems related to the exceptional Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials can be constructed in a direct and systematic way, without the need of shape invariance and Darboux-Crum transformation. Furthermore, the prepotential need not be assumed a priori. The prepotential, the deforming function, the potential, the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are all derived within the same framework. The exceptional polynomials are expressible as a bilinear combination of a deformation function and its derivative.Comment: PTPTex, 18 pages, no figures.

Similarity Solutions of a Class of Perturbative Fokker-Planck Equation

In a previous work, a perturbative approach to a class of Fokker-Planck equations, which have constant diffusion coefficients and small time-dependent drift coefficients, was developed by exploiting the close connection between the Fokker-Planck equations and the Schrodinger equations. In this work, we further explore the possibility of similarity solutions of such a class of Fokker-Planck equations. These solutions possess definite scaling behaviors, and are obtained by means of the so-called similarity method

Deformed multi-variable Fokker-Planck equations

In this paper new multi-variable deformed Fokker-Planck (FP) equations are presented. These deformed FP equations are associated with the Ruijsenaars-Schneider-van Diejen (RSvD) type systems in the same way that the usual one variable FP equation is associated with the one particle Schr\"odinger equation. As the RSvD systems are the "discrete" counterparts of the celebrated exactly solvable many-body Calogero-Sutherland-Moser systems, the deformed FP equations presented here can be considered as "discrete" deformations of the ordinary multi-variable FP equations.Comment: 8 pages, no figure

On Berry--Esseen bounds for non-instantaneous filters of linear processes

Let $X_n=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i\epsilon_{n-i}$, where the $\epsilon_i$ are i.i.d. with mean 0 and at least finite second moment, and the $a_i$ are assumed to satisfy $|a_i|=O(i^{-\beta})$ with $\beta >1/2$. When $1/2<\beta<1$, $X_n$ is usually called a long-range dependent or long-memory process. For a certain class of Borel functions $K(x_1,...,x_{d+1})$, $d\ge0$, from ${\mathcal{R}}^{d+1}$ to $\mathcal{R}$, which includes indicator functions and polynomials, the stationary sequence $K(X_n,X_{n+1},...,X_{n+d})$ is considered. By developing a finite orthogonal expansion of $K(X_n,...,X_{n+d})$, the Berry--Esseen type bounds for the normalized sum $Q_N/\sqrt{N},Q_N=\sum_{n=1}^N(K(X_ n,...,X_{n+d})-\mathrm{E}K(X_n,...,X_{n+d}))$ are obtained when $Q_N/\sqrt{N}$ obeys the central limit theorem with positive limiting variance.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/07-BEJ112 the Bernoulli (http://isi.cbs.nl/bernoulli/) by the International Statistical Institute/Bernoulli Society (http://isi.cbs.nl/BS/bshome.htm
