Prepotential approach to solvable rational potentials and exceptional orthogonal polynomials

We show how all the quantal systems related to the exceptional Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials can be constructed in a direct and systematic way, without the need of shape invariance and Darboux-Crum transformation. Furthermore, the prepotential need not be assumed a priori. The prepotential, the deforming function, the potential, the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are all derived within the same framework. The exceptional polynomials are expressible as a bilinear combination of a deformation function and its derivative.Comment: PTPTex, 18 pages, no figures.

Similarity Solutions of a Class of Perturbative Fokker-Planck Equation

In a previous work, a perturbative approach to a class of Fokker-Planck equations, which have constant diffusion coefficients and small time-dependent drift coefficients, was developed by exploiting the close connection between the Fokker-Planck equations and the Schrodinger equations. In this work, we further explore the possibility of similarity solutions of such a class of Fokker-Planck equations. These solutions possess definite scaling behaviors, and are obtained by means of the so-called similarity method

Deformed Fokker-Planck Equations

Based on the well-known relation between Fokker-Planck equations and Schroedinger equations of quantum mechanics (QM), we propose new deformed Fokker-Planck (FP) equations associated with the Schroedinger equations of "discrete" QM. The latter is a natural discretization of QM and its Schroedinger equations are difference instead of differential equations. Exactly solvable FP equations are obtained corresponding to exactly solvable "discrete" QM, whose eigenfunctions include various deformations of the classical orthogonal polynomials.Comment: 4 pages, no figure

Anyons on a Torus

We prove the equivalence between anyon quantum mechanics on a torus and Chern-Simons gauge theory. It is also shown that the Hamiltonian and total momenta commute among themselves only in the physical Hilbert space.Comment: 4 pages, plain TeX, UMN-TH-1116/9

Out-of-Equilibrium Chiral Magnetic Effect at Strong Coupling

We study the charge transports originating from triangle anomaly in out-of-equilibrium conditions in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence at strong coupling, to gain useful insights on possible charge separation effects that may happen in the very early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We first construct a gravity background of a homogeneous mass shell with a finite (axial) charge density gravitationally collapsing to a charged blackhole, which serves as a dual model for out-of-equilibrium charged plasma undergoing thermalization. We find that a finite charge density in the plasma slows down the thermalization. We then study the out-of-equilibrium properties of Chiral Magnetic Effect and Chiral Magnetic Wave in this background. As the medium thermalizes, the magnitude of chiral magnetic conductivity and the response time delay grow. We find a dynamical peak in the spectral function of retarded current correlator, which we identify as an out-of-equilibrium chiral magnetic wave. The group velocity of the out-of-equilibrium chiral magnetic wave is shown to receive a dominant contribution from a non-equilibrium effect, making the wave moving much faster than in the equilibrium, which may enhance the charge transports via triangle anomaly in the early stage of heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 1+35 pages, 8 figures.
