Response of a Fermi gas to time-dependent perturbations: Riemann-Hilbert approach at non-zero temperatures
We provide an exact finite temperature extension to the recently developed
Riemann-Hilbert approach for the calculation of response functions in
nonadiabatically perturbed (multi-channel) Fermi gases. We give a precise
definition of the finite temperature Riemann-Hilbert problem and show that it
is equivalent to a zero temperature problem. Using this equivalence, we discuss
the solution of the nonequilibrium Fermi-edge singularity problem at finite
temperatures.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures; 2 appendices added, a few modifications in the

A large time asymptotics for transparent potentials for the Novikov-Veselov equation at positive energy
In the present paper we begin studies on the large time asymptotic behavior
for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Novikov--Veselov equation (an
analog of KdV in 2 + 1 dimensions) at positive energy. In addition, we are
focused on a family of reflectionless (transparent) potentials parameterized by
a function of two variables. In particular, we show that there are no isolated
soliton type waves in the large time asymptotics for these solutions in
contrast with well-known large time asymptotics for solutions of the KdV
equation with reflectionless initial data
On a factorization of second order elliptic operators and applications
We show that given a nonvanishing particular solution of the equation
(divpgrad+q)u=0 (1) the corresponding differential operator can be factorized
into a product of two first order operators. The factorization allows us to
reduce the equation (1) to a first order equation which in a two-dimensional
case is the Vekua equation of a special form. Under quite general conditions on
the coefficients p and q we obtain an algorithm which allows us to construct in
explicit form the positive formal powers (solutions of the Vekua equation
generalizing the usual powers of the variable z). This result means that under
quite general conditions one can construct an infinite system of exact
solutions of (1) explicitly, and moreover, at least when p and q are real
valued this system will be complete in ker(divpgrad+q) in the sense that any
solution of (1) in a simply connected domain can be represented as an infinite
series of obtained exact solutions which converges uniformly on any compact
subset of . Finally we give a similar factorization of the operator
(divpgrad+q) in a multidimensional case and obtain a natural generalization of
the Vekua equation which is related to second order operators in a similar way
as its two-dimensional prototype does
Probe method and a Carleman function
A Carleman function is a special fundamental solution with a large parameter
for the Laplace operator and gives a formula to calculate the value of the
solution of the Cauchy problem in a domain for the Laplace equation. The probe
method applied to an inverse boundary value problem for the Laplace equation in
a bounded domain is based on the existence of a special sequence of harmonic
functions which is called a {\it needle sequence}. The needle sequence blows up
on a special curve which connects a given point inside the domain with a point
on the boundary of the domain and is convergent locally outside the curve. The
sequence yields a reconstruction formula of unknown discontinuity, such as
cavity, inclusion in a given medium from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. In this
paper, an explicit needle sequence in {\it three dimensions} is given in a
closed form. It is an application of a Carleman function introduced by
Yarmukhamedov. Furthermore, an explicit needle sequence in the probe method
applied to the reduction of inverse obstacle scattering problems with an {\it
arbitrary} fixed wave number to inverse boundary value problems for the
Helmholtz equation is also given.Comment: 2 figures, final versio

Inverse problem by Cauchy data on arbitrary subboundary for system of elliptic equations
We consider an inverse problem of determining coefficient matrices in an
-system of second-order elliptic equations in a bounded two dimensional
domain by a set of Cauchy data on arbitrary subboundary. The main result of the
article is as follows: If two systems of elliptic operators generate the same
set of partial Cauchy data on an arbitrary subboundary, then the coefficient
matrices of the first-order and zero-order terms satisfy the prescribed system
of first-order partial differential equations. The main result implies the
uniqueness of any two coefficient matrices provided that the one remaining
matrix among the three coefficient matrices is known
On a complex differential Riccati equation
We consider a nonlinear partial differential equation for complex-valued
functions which is related to the two-dimensional stationary Schrodinger
equation and enjoys many properties similar to those of the ordinary
differential Riccati equation as, e.g., the famous Euler theorems, the Picard
theorem and others. Besides these generalizations of the classical
"one-dimensional" results we discuss new features of the considered equation
like, e.g., an analogue of the Cauchy integral theorem
On the Klein-Gordon equation and hyperbolic pseudoanalytic function theory
Elliptic pseudoanalytic function theory was considered independently by Bers
and Vekua decades ago. In this paper we develop a hyperbolic analogue of
pseudoanalytic function theory using the algebra of hyperbolic numbers. We
consider the Klein-Gordon equation with a potential. With the aid of one
particular solution we factorize the Klein-Gordon operator in terms of two
Vekua-type operators. We show that real parts of the solutions of one of these
Vekua-type operators are solutions of the considered Klein-Gordon equation.
Using hyperbolic pseudoanalytic function theory, we then obtain explicit
construction of infinite systems of solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation with
potential. Finally, we give some examples of application of the proposed
procedure
Faddeev eigenfunctions for two-dimensional Schrodinger operators via the Moutard transformation
We demonstrate how the Moutard transformation of two-dimensional Schrodinger
operators acts on the Faddeev eigenfunctions on the zero energy level and
present some explicitly computed examples of such eigenfunctions for smooth
fast decaying potentials of operators with non-trivial kernel and for deformed
potentials which correspond to blowing up solutions of the Novikov-Veselov
equation.Comment: 11 pages, final remarks are adde
On the reduction of the multidimensional Schroedinger equation to a first order equation and its relation to the pseudoanalytic function theory
Given a particular solution of a one-dimensional stationary Schroedinger
equation (SE) this equation of second order can be reduced to a first order
linear differential equation. This is done with the aid of an auxiliary Riccati
equation. We show that a similar fact is true in a multidimensional situation
also. We consider the case of two or three independent variables. One
particular solution of (SE) allows us to reduce this second order equation to a
linear first order quaternionic differential equation. As in one-dimensional
case this is done with the aid of an auxiliary Riccati equation. The resulting
first order quaternionic equation is equivalent to the static Maxwell system.
In the case of two independent variables it is the Vekua equation from theory
of generalized analytic functions. We show that even in this case it is
necessary to consider not complex valued functions only, solutions of the Vekua
equation but complete quaternionic functions. Then the first order quaternionic
equation represents two separate Vekua equations, one of which gives us
solutions of (SE) and the other can be considered as an auxiliary equation of a
simpler structure. For the auxiliary equation we always have the corresponding
Bers generating pair, the base of the Bers theory of pseudoanalytic functions,
and what is very important, the Bers derivatives of solutions of the auxiliary
equation give us solutions of the main Vekua equation and as a consequence of
(SE). We obtain an analogue of the Cauchy integral theorem for solutions of
(SE). For an ample class of potentials (which includes for instance all radial
potentials), this new approach gives us a simple procedure allowing to obtain
an infinite sequence of solutions of (SE) from one known particular solution
