    Special functions with mod n symmetry and kaleidoscope of quantum coherent states

    Full text link
    The set of mod nn functions associated with primitive roots of unity and discrete Fourier transform is introduced. These functions naturally appear in description of superposition of coherent states related with regular polygon, which we call kaleidoscope of quantum coherent states. Displacement operators for kaleidoscope states are obtained by mod nn exponential functions with operator argument and non-commutative addition formulas. Normalization constants, average number of photons, Heinsenberg uncertainty relations and coordinate representation of wave functions with mod n symmetry are expressed in a compact form by these functions.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, talk in The 32nd International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics (Group32), Prague, Czech Republic, 9-13 July 201

    Bound State Solutions of Klein-Gordon Equation with the Kratzer Potential

    Full text link
    The relativistic problem of spinless particle subject to a Kratzer potential is analyzed. Bound state solutions for the s-wave are found by separating the Klein-Gordon equation in two parts, unlike the similar works in the literature, which provides one to see explicitly the relativistic contributions, if any, to the solution in the non-relativistic limit.Comment: 6 page

    A search on Dirac equation

    Full text link
    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

    Persistent Transport Barrier on the West Florida Shelf

    Analysis of drifter trajectories in the Gulf of Mexico has revealed the existence of a region on the southern portion of the West Florida Shelf (WFS) that is not visited by drifters that are released outside of the region. This so-called ``forbidden zone'' (FZ) suggests the existence of a persistent cross-shelf transport barrier on the southern portion of the WFS. In this letter a year-long record of surface currents produced by a Hybrid-Coordinate Ocean Model simulation of the WFS is used to identify Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), which reveal the presence of a robust and persistent cross-shelf transport barrier in approximately the same location as the boundary of the FZ. The location of the cross-shelf transport barrier undergoes a seasonal oscillation, being closer to the coast in the summer than in the winter. A month-long record of surface currents inferred from high-frequency (HF) radar measurements in a roughly 60 km ×\times 80 km region on the WFS off Tampa Bay is also used to identify LCSs, which reveal the presence of robust transient transport barriers. While the HF-radar-derived transport barriers cannot be unambiguously linked to the boundary of the FZ, this analysis does demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring transport barriers on the WFS using a HF-radar-based measurement system. The implications of a persistent cross-shelf transport barrier on the WFS for the development of harmful algal blooms on the shoreward side of the barrier are considered.Comment: Submitted to Geophysical Research Letter

    Fluorogenic cell surface glycan labelling with fluorescence molecular rotor dyes and nucleic acid stains

    Get PDF
    We show that covalent labelling of sialic acids on live cell surfaces or mucin increases the fluorescence of the fluorescence molecular rotors (FMRs) CCVJ, Cy3 and thioazole orange, enabling wash-free imaging of cell surfaces. Dual labelling with an FMR and an environmentally insensitive dye allows detection of changes that occur, for example, when cross-linking is altered

    The eigenvalues of the potentials V1(r)=A1r+A2r2+A3r3+A4r4V_{1}(r)=\frac{A_{1}}{r}+\frac{A_{2}}{r^{2}}+\frac{A_{3}}{r^{3}}+\frac{A_{4 }}{r^{4}} and V2(r)=B1r2+B2r2+B3r4+B4r6V_{2}(r)=B_{1}r^{2}+\frac{B_{2}}{r^{2}}+\frac{B_{3}}{r^{4}}+\frac{B_{4}}{r^ {6}}, and of the special cases of these potentials such as the Kratzer and Goldman-Krivchenkov potentials, are obtained in N-dimensional space. The explicit dependence of these potentials in higher-dimensional space is discussed, which have not been previously covered.Comment: 13 pages article in LaTEX (uses standard article.sty).
