    On the explicit solutions of the elliptic Calogero system

    Full text link
    Let q1,q2,...,qNq_1,q_2,...,q_N be the coordinates of NN particles on the circle, interacting with the integrable potential j<kN(qjqk)\sum_{j<k}^N\wp(q_j-q_k), where \wp is the Weierstrass elliptic function. We show that every symmetric elliptic function in q1,q2,...,qNq_1,q_2,...,q_N is a meromorphic function in time. We give explicit formulae for these functions in terms of genus N1N-1 theta functions.Comment: 18 pages, Late

    Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field

    Get PDF
    We consider the Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field (the field of a solenoid and a collinear uniform magnetic field). For the case of Aharonov-Bohm solenoid, we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac Hamiltonian using von Neumann's theory of deficiency indices. We find self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac Hamiltonian in both above dimensions and boundary conditions at the AB solenoid. Besides, for the first time, solutions of the Dirac equation in the magnetic-solenoid field with a finite radius solenoid were found. We study the structure of these solutions and their dependence on the behavior of the magnetic field inside the solenoid. Then we exploit the latter solutions to specify boundary conditions for the magnetic-solenoid field with Aharonov-Bohm solenoid.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures, LaTex fil

    One-loop energy-momentum tensor in QED with electric-like background

    Full text link
    We have obtained nonperturbative one-loop expressions for the mean energy-momentum tensor and current density of Dirac's field on a constant electric-like background. One of the goals of this calculation is to give a consistent description of back-reaction in such a theory. Two cases of initial states are considered: the vacuum state and the thermal equilibrium state. First, we perform calculations for the vacuum initial state. In the obtained expressions, we separate the contributions due to particle creation and vacuum polarization. The latter contributions are related to the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian. Then, we study the case of the thermal initial state. Here, we separate the contributions due to particle creation, vacuum polarization, and the contributions due to the work of the external field on the particles at the initial state. All these contributions are studied in detail, in different regimes of weak and strong fields and low and high temperatures. The obtained results allow us to establish restrictions on the electric field and its duration under which QED with a strong constant electric field is consistent. Under such restrictions, one can neglect the back-reaction of particles created by the electric field. Some of the obtained results generalize the calculations of Heisenberg-Euler for energy density to the case of arbitrary strong electric fields.Comment: 35 pages; misprints in the sign in definitions (40)-(43), and (68) corrected, results unchange

    Lambda-prophage induction modeled as a cooperative failure mode of lytic repression

    Full text link
    We analyze a system-level model for lytic repression of lambda-phage in E. coli using reliability theory, showing that the repressor circuit comprises 4 redundant components whose failure mode is prophage induction. Our model reflects the specific biochemical mechanisms involved in regulation, including long-range cooperative binding, and its detailed predictions for prophage induction in E. coli under ultra-violet radiation are in good agreement with experimental data.Comment: added referenc

    Integration of D-dimensional 2-factor spaces cosmological models by reducing to the generalized Emden-Fowler equation

    Get PDF
    The D-dimensional cosmological model on the manifold M=R×M1×M2M = R \times M_{1} \times M_{2} describing the evolution of 2 Einsteinian factor spaces, M1M_1 and M2M_2, in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid source is considered. The barotropic equation of state for mass-energy densities and the pressures of the components is assumed in each space. When the number of the non Ricci-flat factor spaces and the number of the perfect fluid components are both equal to 2, the Einstein equations for the model are reduced to the generalized Emden-Fowler (second-order ordinary differential) equation, which has been recently investigated by Zaitsev and Polyanin within discrete-group analysis. Using the integrable classes of this equation one generates the integrable cosmological models. The corresponding metrics are presented. The method is demonstrated for the special model with Ricci-flat spaces M1,M2M_1,M_2 and the 2-component perfect fluid source.Comment: LaTeX file, no figure

    Coherent states of non-relativistic electron in magnetic-solenoid field

    Full text link
    We construct coherent states of a nonrelativistic electron in the magnetic-solenoid field, which is a superposition of the Aharonov-Bohm field and a collinear uniform magnetic field. In the problem under consideration there are two kind of coherent states, the first kind corresponds to classical trajectories which embrace the solenoid and the second one to trajectories which do not. Mean coordinates in the constructed coherent states are moving along classical trajectories, the coherent states maintain their form under the time evolution, and represent a complete set of functions, which can be useful in semi classical calculations. In the absence of the Aharonov-Bohm filed these states are reduced to the well-known in the case of uniform magnetic field Malkin-Man'ko coherent states.Comment: 11 pages, version accepted for publication in J.

    On the multiplicity of the hyperelliptic integrals

    Let I(t)=δ(t)ωI(t)= \oint_{\delta(t)} \omega be an Abelian integral, where H=y2xn+1+P(x)H=y^2-x^{n+1}+P(x) is a hyperelliptic polynomial of Morse type, δ(t)\delta(t) a horizontal family of cycles in the curves {H=t}\{H=t\}, and ω\omega a polynomial 1-form in the variables xx and yy. We provide an upper bound on the multiplicity of I(t)I(t), away from the critical values of HH. Namely: $ord\ I(t) \leq n-1+\frac{n(n-1)}{2}if if \deg \omega <\deg H=n+1.Thereasoninggoesasfollows:weconsidertheanalyticcurveparameterizedbytheintegralsalong.

    Variations in geoacoustic emissions in a deep borehole and its correlation with seismicity

    Get PDF
    Continuous geoacoustic emission (GAE) measurements were acquired using a three-component geophone placed in a borehole at a depth of near 1000 m at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky starting in August 2000. Using geophones consisting of magneto-elastic crystal ferromagnetic sensors, and installed at such a depth allows measurement of natural geoacoustic background with signal amplitude less than 1×10-4 m/s3 in frequency band from 3 to 1500 Hz. According to the data from a 4-year survey period the characteristics of diurnal geoacoustic variations change before every earthquake with MLH≥ 5.0 that occurs at a distance of less than 300 km from the observation point or before each earthquake with MLH≥5.5 occurring at distance R≤550 km from the observation point. The changes in GAE regime correlate with the strongest earthquakes that occurred during survey period. Measurements of the natural electromagnetic field of the Earth were carried out simultaneously with the help of an underground electric antenna. The behavior of GAE in aseismic periods appears to be related to the effect of diurnal variations of the natural electromagnetic field

    Toda chains with type A_m Lie algebra for multidimensional m-component perfect fluid cosmology

    Get PDF
    We consider a D-dimensional cosmological model describing an evolution of Ricci-flat factor spaces, M_1,...M_n (n > 2), in the presence of an m-component perfect fluid source (n > m > 1). We find characteristic vectors, related to the matter constants in the barotropic equations of state for fluid components of all factor spaces. We show that, in the case where we can interpret these vectors as the root vectors of a Lie algebra of Cartan type A_m=sl(m+1,C), the model reduces to the classical open m-body Toda chain. Using an elegant technique by Anderson (J. Math. Phys. 37 (1996) 1349) for solving this system, we integrate the Einstein equations for the model and present the metric in a Kasner-like form.Comment: LaTeX, 2 ps figure
