    Vlasov Equation In Magnetic Field

    Full text link
    The linearized Vlasov equation for a plasma system in a uniform magnetic field and the corresponding linear Vlasov operator are studied. The spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the Vlasov operator are found. The spectrum of this operator consists of two parts: one is continuous and real; the other is discrete and complex. Interestingly, the real eigenvalues are infinitely degenerate, which causes difficulty solving this initial value problem by using the conventional eigenfunction expansion method. Finally, the Vlasov equation is solved by the resolvent method.Comment: 15 page

    This work is mostly focused on the melting process model simulation of quartz particles having the radius within the range of 10{-6}-10{-3} m. The melting process is simulated accounting for the heat generation at an electric current passage through a quartz particle

    Equilibration in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach probed with the Wigner distribution function

    Full text link
    Calculating the Wigner distribution function in the reaction plane, we are able to probe the phase-space behavior in time-dependent Hartree-Fock during a heavy-ion collision. We compare the Wigner distribution function with the smoothed Husimi distribution function. Observables are defined to give a quantitative measure for local and global equilibration. We present different reaction scenarios by analyzing central and non-central 16O+^{16}O+16O^{16}O and 96Zr+^{96}Zr+132Zn^{132}Zn collisions. It is shown that the initial phase-space volumes of the fragments barely merge. The mean values of the observables are conserved in fusion reactions and indicate a "memory effect" in time-dependent Hartree-Fock. We observe strong dissipation but no evidence for complete equilibration.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figure

    Fractional Systems and Fractional Bogoliubov Hierarchy Equations

    Full text link
    We consider the fractional generalizations of the phase volume, volume element and Poisson brackets. These generalizations lead us to the fractional analog of the phase space. We consider systems on this fractional phase space and fractional analogs of the Hamilton equations. The fractional generalization of the average value is suggested. The fractional analogs of the Bogoliubov hierarchy equations are derived from the fractional Liouville equation. We define the fractional reduced distribution functions. The fractional analog of the Vlasov equation and the Debye radius are considered.Comment: 12 page

    Electronic correlations on a metallic nanosphere

    Full text link
    We consider the correlation functions in a gas of electrons moving within a thin layer on the surface of nanosize sphere. A closed form of expressions for the RKKY indirect exchange, superconducting Cooper loop and `density-density' correlation function is obtained. The systematic comparison with planar results is made, the effects of spherical geometry are outlined. The quantum coherence of electrons leads to the enhancement of all correlations for the points--antipodes on the sphere. This effect is lost when the radius of the sphere exceeds the temperature coherence length.Comment: 5 pages, no figures, to appear in PRB (RC

    Symmetry breaking, conformal geometry and gauge invariance

    Get PDF
    When the electroweak action is rewritten in terms of SU(2) gauge invariant variables, the Higgs can be interpreted as a conformal metric factor. We show that asymptotic flatness of the metric is required to avoid a Gribov problem: without it, the new variables fail to be nonperturbatively gauge invariant. We also clarify the relations between this approach and unitary gauge fixing, and the existence of similar transformations in other gauge theories.Comment: 11 pages.
