Ground-state properties of hard-core bosons confined on one-dimensional optical lattices
We study the ground-state properties of hard-core bosons trapped by arbitrary
confining potentials on one-dimensional optical lattices. A recently developed
exact approach based on the Jordan-Wigner transformation is used. We analyze
the large distance behavior of the one-particle density matrix, the momentum
distribution function, and the lowest natural orbitals. In addition, the
low-density limit in the lattice is studied systematically, and the results
obtained compared with the ones known for the hard-core boson gas without the
lattice.Comment: RevTex file, 14 pages, 22 figures, published versio
Ground states of nonlocal scalar field equations with Trudinger-Moser critical nonlinearity
We investigate the existence of ground state solutions for a class of
nonlinear scalar field equations defined on whole real line, involving a
fractional Laplacian and nonlinearities with Trudinger-Moser critical growth.
We handle the lack of compactness of the associated energy functional due to
the unboundedness of the domain and the presence of a limiting case embedding.Comment: 13 page
Nonautonomous fractional problems with exponential growth
We study a class of nonlinear non-autonomous nonlocal equations with
subcritical and critical exponential nonlinearity. The involved potential can
vanish at infinity.Comment: 12 page
Perturbative evolution of the static configurations, quasinormal modes and quasi normal ringing in the Apostolatos - Thorne cylindrical shell model
We study the perturbative evolution of the static configurations, quasinormal
modes and quasi normal ringing in the Apostolatos - Thorne cylindrical shell
model. We consider first an expansion in harmonic modes and show that it
provides a complete solution for the characteristic value problem for the
finite perturbations of a static configuration. As a consequence of this
completeness we obtain a proof of the stability of static solutions under this
type of perturbations. The explicit expression for the mode expansion are then
used to obtain numerical values for some of the quasi normal mode complex
frequencies. Some examples involving the numerical evaluation of the integral
mode expansions are described and analyzed, and the quasi normal ringing
displayed by the solutions is found to be in agreement with quasi normal modes
found previously. Going back to the full relativistic equations of motion we
find their general linear form by expanding to first order about a static
solution. We then show that the resulting set of coupled ordinary and partial
differential equations for the dynamical variables of the system can be used to
set an initial plus boundary values problem, and prove that there is an
associated positive definite constant of the motion that puts absolute bounds
on the dynamic variables of the system, establishing the stability of the
motion of the shell under arbitrary, finite perturbations. We also show that
the problem can be solved numerically, and provide some explicit examples that
display the complete agreement between the purely numerical evolution and that
obtained using the mode expansion, in particular regarding the quasi normal
ringing that results in the evolution of the system. We also discuss the
relation of the present work to some recent results on the same model that have
appeared in the literature.Comment: 27 pages, 7 figure
