A new quasi-exactly solvable problem and its connection with an anharmonic oscillator
The two-dimensional hydrogen with a linear potential in a magnetic field is
solved by two different methods. Furthermore the connection between the model
and an anharmonic oscillator had been investigated by methods of KS
transformation
The influence of fibre length, diameter and concentration on the strength and strain to failure of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide 6,6
Results of an investigation of the mechanical performance of injection moulded long glass fibre-reinforced polyamide 6,6 composites are presented. The glass fibre content in these composites was varied over the range 10-50% by weight using fibres with average diameters of 10, 14, and 17 μm. Mechanical testing and analysis of the apparent interfacial shear strength was carried out at 23 and 150 °C on dry-as-moulded and boiling water conditioned samples. The results from these composites are compared with standard extrusion compounded short glass fibre materials. The influence of fibre diameter and concentration on the residual fibre length, fibre orientation distribution and composite strength and elongation to failure is presented and discussed in comparison to the predictions of some of the available micromechanical models
Coexistence of single-mode and multi-longitudinal mode emission in the ring laser model
A homogeneously broadened unidirectonal ring laser can emit in several
longitudinal modes for large enough pump and cavity length because of Rabi
splitting induced gain. This is the so called Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken
(RNGH) instability. We investigate numerically the properties of the multi-mode
solution. We show that this solution can coexist with the single-mode one, and
its stability domain can extend to pump values smaller than the critical pump
of the RNGH instability. Morevoer, we show that the multi-mode solution for
large pump values is affected by two different instabilities: a pitchfork
bifurcation, which preserves phase-locking, and a Hopf bifurcation, which
destroys it.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure
Higgs algebraic symmetry of screened system in a spherical geometry
The orbits and the dynamical symmetries for the screened Coulomb potentials
and isotropic harmonic oscillators have been studied by Wu and Zeng [Z. B. Wu
and J. Y. Zeng, Phys. Rev. A 62,032509 (2000)]. We find the similar properties
in the responding systems in a spherical space, whose dynamical symmetries are
described by Higgs Algebra. There exists a conserved aphelion and perihelion
vector, which, together with angular momentum, constitute the generators of the
geometrical symmetry group at the aphelia and perihelia points .Comment: 8 pages, 1 fi
Layered Higgs Phase as a Possible Field Localisation on a Brane
So far it has been found by using lattice techniques that in the anisotropic
five--dimensional Abelian Higgs model, a layered Higgs phase exists in addition
to the expected five--dimensional one. The exploration of the phase diagram has
shown that the two Higgs phases are separated by a phase transition from the
confining phase. This transition is known to be first order. In this paper we
explore the possibility of finding a second order transition point in the
critical line which separates the first order phase transition from the
crossover region. This is shown to be the case only for the four--dimensional
Higgs layered phase whilst the phase transition to the five--dimensional broken
phase remains first order. The layered phase serves as the possible realisation
of four--dimensional spacetime dynamics which is embedded in a
five--dimensional spacetime. These results are due to gauge and scalar field
localisation by confining interactions along the extra fifth direction.Comment: 1+15 pages, 12 figure
Enhancement of pair correlation in a one-dimensional hybridization model
We propose an integrable model of one-dimensional (1D) interacting electrons
coupled with the local orbitals arrayed periodically in the chain. Since the
local orbitals are introduced in a way that double occupation is forbidden, the
model keeps the main feature of the periodic Anderson model with an interacting
host. For the attractive interaction, it is found that the local orbitals
enhance the effective mass of the Cooper-pair-like singlets and also the pair
correlation in the ground state. However, the persistent current is depressed
in this case. For the repulsive interaction case, the Hamiltonian is
non-Hermitian but allows Cooper pair solutions with small momenta, which are
induced by the hybridization between the extended state and the local orbitals.Comment: 11 page revtex, no figur
How to determine linear complexity and -error linear complexity in some classes of linear recurring sequences
Several fast algorithms for the determination of the linear complexity of -periodic sequences over a finite
field \F_q, i.e. sequences with characteristic polynomial , have been proposed in the literature.
In this contribution fast algorithms for determining the linear complexity of binary sequences with characteristic
polynomial for an arbitrary positive integer , and are presented.
The result is then utilized to establish a fast algorithm for determining the -error linear complexity of
binary sequences with characteristic polynomial
The Inert Doublet Model and Inelastic Dark Matter
The annual modulation observed by DAMA/NaI and DAMA/Libra may be interpreted
in terms of elastic or inelastic scattering of dark matter particles. In this
paper we confront these two scenarios within the framework of a very simple
extension of the Standard Model, the Inert Doublet Model (IDM). In this model
the dark matter candidate is a scalar, the lightest component of an extra Higgs
doublet. We first revisit the case for the elastic scattering of a light scalar
WIMP, M_DM~10 GeV, a scenario which requires that a fraction of events in DAMA
are channelled. Second we consider the possibility of inelastic Dark Matter
(iDM). This option is technically natural in the IDM, in the sense that the
mass splitting between the lightest and next-to-lightest neutral scalars may be
protected by a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. We show that candidates with a mass
M_DM between ~535 GeV and ~50 TeV may reproduce the DAMA data and have a cosmic
abundance in agreement with WMAP. This range may be extended to candidates as
light as ~50 GeV if we exploit the possibility that the approximate PQ symmetry
is effectively conserved and that a primordial asymmetry in the dark sector may
survive until freeze-out.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures. v2: minor changes and discussion on the

Euler configurations and quasi-polynomial systems
In the Newtonian 3-body problem, for any choice of the three masses, there
are exactly three Euler configurations (also known as the three Euler points).
In Helmholtz' problem of 3 point vortices in the plane, there are at most three
collinear relative equilibria. The "at most three" part is common to both
statements, but the respective arguments for it are usually so different that
one could think of a casual coincidence. By proving a statement on a
quasi-polynomial system, we show that the "at most three" holds in a general
context which includes both cases. We indicate some hard conjectures about the
configurations of relative equilibrium and suggest they could be attacked
within the quasi-polynomial framework.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figure
