The adjoint problem in the presence of a deformed surface: the example of the Rosensweig instability on magnetic fluids
The Rosensweig instability is the phenomenon that above a certain threshold
of a vertical magnetic field peaks appear on the free surface of a horizontal
layer of magnetic fluid. In contrast to almost all classical hydrodynamical
systems, the nonlinearities of the Rosensweig instability are entirely
triggered by the properties of a deformed and a priori unknown surface. The
resulting problems in defining an adjoint operator for such nonlinearities are
illustrated. The implications concerning amplitude equations for pattern
forming systems with a deformed surface are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
Classical Integrable 2-dim Models Inspired by SUSY Quantum Mechanics
A class of integrable 2-dim classical systems with integrals of motion of
fourth order in momenta is obtained from the quantum analogues with the help of
deformed SUSY algebra. With similar technique a new class of potentials
connected with Lax method is found which provides the integrability of
corresponding 2-dim hamiltonian systems. In addition, some integrable 2-dim
systems with potentials expressed in elliptic functions are explored.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, final version to be published in J.Phys.
Chaotic Phenomenon in Nonlinear Gyrotropic Medium
Nonlinear gyrotropic medium is a medium, whose natural optical activity
depends on the intensity of the incident light wave. The Kuhn's model is used
to study nonlinear gyrotropic medium with great success. The Kuhn's model
presents itself a model of nonlinear coupled oscillators. This article is
devoted to the study of the Kuhn's nonlinear model. In the first paragraph of
the paper we study classical dynamics in case of weak as well as strong
nonlinearity. In case of week nonlinearity we have obtained the analytical
solutions, which are in good agreement with the numerical solutions. In case of
strong nonlinearity we have determined the values of those parameters for which
chaos is formed in the system under study. The second paragraph of the paper
refers to the question of the Kuhn's model integrability. It is shown, that at
the certain values of the interaction potential this model is exactly
integrable and under certain conditions it is reduced to so-called universal
Hamiltonian. The third paragraph of the paper is devoted to quantum-mechanical
consideration. It shows the possibility of stochastic absorption of external
field energy by nonlinear gyrotropic medium. The last forth paragraph of the
paper is devoted to generalization of the Kuhn's model for infinite chain of
interacting oscillators
Symplectic Structures for the Cubic Schrodinger equation in the periodic and scattering case
We develop a unified approach for construction of symplectic forms for 1D
integrable equations with the periodic and rapidly decaying initial data. As an
example we consider the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation.Comment: This is expanded and corrected versio
Spectroscopy with random and displaced random ensembles
Due to the time reversal invariance of the angular momentum operator J^2, the
average energies and variances at fixed J for random two-body Hamiltonians
exhibit odd-even-J staggering, that may be especially strong for J=0. It is
shown that upon ensemble averaging over random runs, this behaviour is
reflected in the yrast states. Displaced (attractive) random ensembles lead to
rotational spectra with strongly enhanced BE2 transitions for a certain class
of model spaces. It is explained how to generalize these results to other forms
of collectivity.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
The Lake Baikal neutrino experiment: selected results
We review the present status of the lake Baikal Neutrino Experiment and
present selected physical results gained with the consequetive stages of the
stepwise increasing detector: from NT-36 to NT-96. Results cover atmospheric
muons, neutrino events, very high energy neutrinos, search for neutrino events
from WIMP annihilation, search for magnetic monopoles and environmental
studies. We also describe an air Cherenkov array developed for the study of
angular resolution of NT-200.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figures. To appear in the Procrrdings of International
