On complete integrability of the Mikhailov-Novikov-Wang system

We obtain compatible Hamiltonian and symplectic structure for a new two-component fifth-order integrable system recently found by Mikhailov, Novikov and Wang (arXiv:0712.1972), and show that this system possesses a hereditary recursion operator and infinitely many commuting symmetries and conservation laws, as well as infinitely many compatible Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, and is therefore completely integrable. The system in question admits a reduction to the Kaup--Kupershmidt equation.Comment: 5 pages, no figure

Analysis of segregated boundary-domain integral equations for mixed variable-coefficient BVPs in exterior domains

This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2011 Birkhäuser Boston.Some direct segregated systems of boundary–domain integral equations (LBDIEs) associated with the mixed boundary value problems for scalar PDEs with variable coefficients in exterior domains are formulated and analyzed in the paper. The LBDIE equivalence to the original boundary value problems and the invertibility of the corresponding boundary–domain integral operators are proved in weighted Sobolev spaces suitable for exterior domains. This extends the results obtained by the authors for interior domains in non-weighted Sobolev spaces.The work was supported by the grant EP/H020497/1 ”Mathematical analysis of localised boundary-domain integral equations for BVPs with variable coefficients” of the EPSRC, UK

Phenomenology of B -> pi pi, pi K Decays at O(alpha^2 beta_0) in QCD Factorization

We study O(alpha^2 beta_0) perturbative corrections to matrix elements entering two-body exclusive decays of the form B -> pi pi, pi K in the QCD factorization formalism, including chirally enhanced power corrections, and discuss the effect of these corrections on direct CP asymmetries, which receive their first contribution at O(alpha). We find that the O(alpha^2 beta_0) corrections are often as large as the O(alpha) corrections. We find large uncertainties due to renormalization scale dependence as well as poor knowledge of the non-perturbative parameters. We assess the effect of the perturbative corrections on the direct CP violation parameters of B -> pi^+ pi^-.Comment: 27 pages, 5 figures.

Numerics of boundary-domain integral and integro-differential equations for BVP with variable coefficient in 3D

This is the post-print version of the article. The official published version can be accessed from the links below - Copyright @ 2013 Springer-VerlagA numerical implementation of the direct boundary-domain integral and integro-differential equations, BDIDEs, for treatment of the Dirichlet problem for a scalar elliptic PDE with variable coefficient in a three-dimensional domain is discussed. The mesh-based discretisation of the BDIEs with tetrahedron domain elements in conjunction with collocation method leads to a system of linear algebraic equations (discretised BDIE). The involved fully populated matrices are approximated by means of the H-Matrix/adaptive cross approximation technique. Convergence of the method is investigated.This study is partially supported by the EPSRC grant EP/H020497/1:"Mathematical Analysis of Localised-Boundary-Domain Integral Equations for Variable-Coefficients Boundary Value Problems"

Perturbative Symmetry Approach

Perturbative Symmetry Approach is formulated in symbolic representation. Easily verifiable integrability conditions of a given equation are constructed in the frame of the approach. Generalisation for the case of non-local and non-evolution equations is disscused. Application of the theory to the Benjamin-Ono and Camassa-Holm type equations is considered.Comment: 16 page

Nonlinear electromagnetic response of graphene: Frequency multiplication and the self-consistent-field effects

Graphene is a recently discovered carbon based material with unique physical properties. This is a monolayer of graphite, and the two-dimensional electrons and holes in it are described by the effective Dirac equation with a vanishing effective mass. As a consequence, electromagnetic response of graphene is predicted to be strongly non-linear. We develop a quasi-classical kinetic theory of the non-linear electromagnetic response of graphene, taking into account the self-consistent-field effects. Response of the system to both harmonic and pulse excitation is considered. The frequency multiplication effect, resulting from the non-linearity of the electromagnetic response, is studied under realistic experimental conditions. The frequency up-conversion efficiency is analysed as a function of the applied electric field and parameters of the samples. Possible applications of graphene in terahertz electronics are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, invited paper written for a special issue of JPCM "Terahertz emitters

Anomalous dimension and local charges

AdS space is the universal covering of a hyperboloid. We consider the action of the deck transformations on a classical string worldsheet in $AdS_5\times S^5$. We argue that these transformations are generated by an infinite linear combination of the local conserved charges. We conjecture that a similar relation holds for the corresponding operators on the field theory side. This would be a generalization of the recent field theory results showing that the one loop anomalous dimension is proportional to the Casimir operator in the representation of the Yangian algebra.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX; v2: added explanations, reference
