Bosonic Super Liouville System: Lax Pair and Solution

We study the bosonic super Liouville system which is a statistical transmutation of super Liouville system. Lax pair for the bosonic super Liouville system is constructed using prolongation method, ensuring the Lax integrability, and the solution to the equations of motion is also considered via Leznov-Saveliev analysis.Comment: LaTeX, no figures, 11 page

Non-Gaussian Covariance of CMB B-modes of Polarization and Parameter Degradation

The B-mode polarization lensing signal is a useful probe of the neutrino mass and to a lesser extent the dark energy equation of state as the signal depends on the integrated mass power spectrum between us and the last scattering surface. This lensing B-mode signal, however, is non-Gaussian and the resulting non-Gaussian covariance to the power spectrum cannot be ignored as correlations between B-mode bins are at a level of 0.1. For temperature and E-mode polarization power spectra, the non-Gasussian covariance is not significant, where we find correlations at the 10^{-5} level even for adjacent bins. The resulting degradation on neutrino mass and dark energy equation of state is about a factor of 2 to 3 when compared to the case where statistics are simply considered to be Gaussian. We also discuss parameter uncertainties achievable in upcoming experiments and show that at a given angular resolution for polarization observations, increasing the sensitivity beyond a certain noise value does not lead to an improved measurement of the neutrino mass and dark energy equation of state with B-mode power spectrum. For Planck, the resulting constraints on the sum of the neutrino masses is ~ 0.2 eV and on the dark energy equation of state parameter we find, sigma_w ~ 0.5.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, minor changes, submitted to PR

On the Classical W4(2)W_{4}^{(2)} Algebra

We consider the classical \w42 algebra from the integrable system viewpoint. The integrable evolution equations associated with the \w42 algebra are constructed and the Miura maps , consequently modifications, are presented. Modifying the Miura maps, we give a free field realization the classical \w42 algebra. We also construct the Toda type integrable systems for it.Comment: 14 pages, latex, no figure

A solvable model of the evolutionary loop

A model for the evolution of a finite population in a rugged fitness landscape is introduced and solved. The population is trapped in an evolutionary loop, alternating periods of stasis to periods in which it performs adaptive walks. The dependence of the average rarity of the population (a quantity related to the fitness of the most adapted individual) and of the duration of stases on population size and mutation rate is calculated.Comment: 6 pages, EuroLaTeX, 1 figur

Electromagnetic energy and energy flows in photonic crystals made of arrays of parallel dielectric cylinders

We consider the electromagnetic propagation in two-dimensional photonic crystals, formed by parallel dielectric cylinders embedded a uniform medium. The frequency band structure is computed using the standard plane-wave expansion method, and the corresponding eigne-modes are obtained subsequently. The optical flows of the eigen-modes are calculated by a direct computation approach, and several averaging schemes of the energy current are discussed. The results are compared to those obtained by the usual approach that employs the group velocity calculation. We consider both the case in which the frequency lies within passing band and the situation in which the frequency is in the range of a partial bandgap. The agreements and discrepancies between various averaging schemes and the group velocity approach are discussed in detail. The results indicate the group velocity can be obtained by appropriate averaging method.Comment: 23 pages, 5 figure
