The absolute position of a resonance peak

It is common practice in scattering theory to correlate between the position of a resonance peak in the cross section and the real part of a complex energy of a pole of the scattering amplitude. In this work we show that the resonance peak position appears at the absolute value of the pole's complex energy rather than its real part. We further demonstrate that a local theory of resonances can still be used even in cases previously thought impossible

Category of nonlinear evolution equations, algebraic structure, and r-matrix

This paper deals with the category of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) associated with the spectral problem and provides an approach for constructing their algebraic structure and $r$-matrix. First we introduce the category of NLEEs, which composes of various positive order and negative order hierarchies of NLEEs both integrable and non-integrable. The whole category of NLEEs possesses a generalized Lax representation. Next, we present two different Lie algebraic structures of the Lax operator, one of them is universal in the category,i.e. independent of the hierarchy, while the other one is nonuniversal in the hierarchy, i.e. dependent on the underlying hierarchy. Moreover, we find that two kinds of adjoint maps are $r$-matrices under the algebraic structures. In particular, the Virasoro algebraic structures without central extension of isospectral and non-isospectral Lax operators can be viewed as reductions of our algebraic structure. Finally, we give several concrete examples to illustrate our methods. Particularly, the Burgers category is linearized when the generator, which generates the category, is chosen to be independent of the potential function. Furthermore, an isospectral negative order hierarchy in the Burger's category is solved with its general solution. Additionally, in the KdV category we find an interesting fact: the Harry-Dym hierarchy is contained in this category as well as the well-known Harry-Dym equation is included in a positive order KdV hierarchy.Comment: 24 pages, 0 figure

Post-Lie Algebras, Factorization Theorems and Isospectral-Flows

In these notes we review and further explore the Lie enveloping algebra of a post-Lie algebra. From a Hopf algebra point of view, one of the central results, which will be recalled in detail, is the existence of a second Hopf algebra structure. By comparing group-like elements in suitable completions of these two Hopf algebras, we derive a particular map which we dub post-Lie Magnus expansion. These results are then considered in the case of Semenov-Tian-Shansky's double Lie algebra, where a post-Lie algebra is defined in terms of solutions of modified classical Yang-Baxter equation. In this context, we prove a factorization theorem for group-like elements. An explicit exponential solution of the corresponding Lie bracket flow is presented, which is based on the aforementioned post-Lie Magnus expansion.Comment: 49 pages, no-figures, review articl

Galilean quantum gravity with cosmological constant and the extended q-Heisenberg algebra

We define a theory of Galilean gravity in 2+1 dimensions with cosmological constant as a Chern-Simons gauge theory of the doubly-extended Newton-Hooke group, extending our previous study of classical and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions in the Galilean limit. We exhibit an r-matrix which is compatible with our Chern-Simons action (in a sense to be defined) and show that the associated bi-algebra structure of the Newton-Hooke Lie algebra is that of the classical double of the extended Heisenberg algebra. We deduce that, in the quantisation of the theory according to the combinatorial quantisation programme, much of the quantum theory is determined by the quantum double of the extended q-deformed Heisenberg algebra.Comment: 22 page
