Semiclassical approach to the nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a non-Hermitian term

The nonlinear Sch\"{o}dinger equation (NLSE) with a non-Hermitian term is the model for various phenomena in nonlinear open quantum systems. We deal with the Cauchy problem for the nonlocal generalization of multidimensional NLSE with a non-Hermitian term. Using the ideas of the Maslov method, we propose the method of constructing asymptotic solutions to this equation within the framework of semiclassically concentrated states. The semiclassical nonlinear evolution operator and symmetry operators for the leading term of asymptotics are derived. Our approach is based on the solutions of the auxiliary dynamical system that effectively linearize the problem under certain algebraic conditions. The formalism proposed is illustrated with the specific example of the NLSE with a non-Hermitian term that is the model of an atom laser. The analytical asymptotic solution to the Cauchy problem is obtained explicitly for this example.Comment: 29 pages, 1 figur

Quasiparticles for the one-dimensional nonlocal Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation

We construct quasiparticles-like solutions to the one-dimensional Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov (FKPP) with a nonlocal nonlinearity using the method of semiclassically concentrated states in the weak diffusion approximation. Such solutions are of use for predicting the dynamics of population patterns. The interaction of quasiparticles stems from nonlocal competitive losses in the FKPP model. We developed the formalism of our approach relying on ideas of the Maslov method. The construction of the asymptotic expansion of a solution to the original nonlinear evolution equation is based on solutions to an auxiliary dynamical system of ODEs. The asymptotic solutions for various specific cases corresponding to various spatial profiles of the reproduction rate and nonlocal competitive losses are studied within the framework of the approach proposed.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figure

Semiclassical approach to the nonlocal kinetic model of metal vapor active media

A semiclassical approach based on the WKB–Maslov method is developed for the kinetic ionization equation in dense plasma with approximations characteristic of metal vapor active media excited by a contracted discharge. We develop the technique for constructing the leading term of the semiclassical asymptotics of the Cauchy problem solution for the kinetic equation under the supposition of weak diffusion. In terms of the approach developed, the local cubic nonlinear term in the original kinetic equation is considered in a nonlocal form. This allows one to transform the nonlinear nonlocal kinetic equation to an associated linear partial differential equation with a given accuracy of the asymptotic parameter using the dynamical system of moments of the desired solution of the equation. The Cauchy problem solution for the nonlinear nonlocal kinetic equation can be obtained from the solution of the associated linear partial differential equation and some algebraic equations for the coefficients of the linear equation. Within the developed approach, the plasma relaxation in metal vapor active media is studied with asymptotic solutions expressed in terms of higher transcendental functions. The qualitative analysis of such the solutions is given

Family of asymptotic solutions to the two-dimensional kinetic equation with a nonlocal cubic nonlinearity

We apply the original semiclassical approach to the kinetic ionization equation with the nonlocal cubic nonlinearity in order to construct the family of its asymptotic solutions. The approach proposed relies on an auxiliary dynamical system of moments of the desired solution to the kinetic equation and the associated linear partial differential equation. The family of asymptotic solutions to the kinetic equation is constructed using the symmetry operators acting on functions concentrated in a neighborhood of a point determined by the dynamical system. Based on these solutions, we introduce the nonlinear superposition principle for the nonlinear kinetic equation. Our formalism based on the Maslov germ method is applied to the Cauchy problem for the specific two-dimensional kinetic equation. The evolution of the ion distribution in the kinetically enhanced metal vapor active medium is obtained as the nonlinear superposition using the numerical-analytical calculations.Comment: 29 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, minor improvements, the article is published in Symmetr

Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD corrections to baryon correlators in matter

We compute the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the correlators of nucleon interpolating currents in relativistic nuclear matter. The main new result is the calculation of the O(alpha_s) perturbative corrections to the coefficient functions of the vector quark condensate in matter. This condensate appears in matter due to the violation of Lorentz invariance. The NLO perturbative QCD corrections turn out to be large which implies that the NLO corrections must be included in a sum rule analysis of the properties of both bound nucleons and relativistic nuclear matter.Comment: 19 pages in LaTeX, including 5 Postscript figure

Charge Symmetry Violation Corrections to Determination of the Weinberg Angle in Neutrino Reactions

We show that the correction to the Paschos-Wolfenstein relation associated with charge symmetry violation in the valence quark distributions is essentially model independent. It is proportional to a ratio of quark momenta that is independent of Q^2. This result provides a natural explanation of the surprisingly good agreement found between our earlier estimates within several different models. When applied to the recent NuTeV measurement, this effect significantly reduces the discrepancy with other determinations of the Weinberg angle.Comment: 7 pages, no figures; expanded discussion of N.ne.Z correction
