    On the Integrability of Classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider Model of BC2BC_{2} Type

    The problem of finding most general form of the classical integrable relativistic models of many-body interaction of the BCnBC_{n} type is considered. In the simplest nontrivial case of n=2n=2,the extra integral of motion is presented in explicit form within the ansatz similar to the nonrelativistic Calogero-Moser models. The resulting Hamiltonian has been found by solving the set of two functional equations.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX2e, no figure

    Tree tensor network state with variable tensor order: an efficient multireference method for strongly correlated systems

    Get PDF
    We study the tree-tensor-network-state (TTNS) method with variable tensor orders for quantum chemistry. TTNS is a variational method to efficiently approximate complete active space (CAS) configuration interaction (CI) wave functions in a tensor product form. TTNS can be considered as a higher order generalization of the matrix product state (MPS) method. The MPS wave function is formulated as products of matrices in a multiparticle basis spanning a truncated Hilbert space of the original CAS-CI problem. These matrices belong to active orbitals organized in a one-dimensional array, while tensors in TTNS are defined upon a tree-like arrangement of the same orbitals. The tree-structure is advantageous since the distance between two arbitrary orbitals in the tree scales only logarithmically with the number of orbitals N, whereas the scaling is linear in the MPS array. It is found to be beneficial from the computational costs point of view to keep strongly correlated orbitals in close vicinity in both arrangements; therefore, the TTNS ansatz is better suited for multireference problems with numerous highly correlated orbitals. To exploit the advantages of TTNS a novel algorithm is designed to optimize the tree tensor network topology based on quantum information theory and entanglement. The superior performance of the TTNS method is illustrated on the ionic-neutral avoided crossing of LiF. It is also shown that the avoided crossing of LiF can be localized using only ground state properties, namely one-orbital entanglement

    A rigorous analysis using optimal transport theory for a two-reflector design problem with a point source

    Get PDF
    We consider the following geometric optics problem: Construct a system of two reflectors which transforms a spherical wavefront generated by a point source into a beam of parallel rays. This beam has a prescribed intensity distribution. We give a rigorous analysis of this problem. The reflectors we construct are (parts of) the boundaries of convex sets. We prove existence of solutions for a large class of input data and give a uniqueness result. To the author's knowledge, this is the first time that a rigorous mathematical analysis of this problem is given. The approach is based on optimal transportation theory. It yields a practical algorithm for finding the reflectors. Namely, the problem is equivalent to a constrained linear optimization problem.Comment: 5 Figures - pdf files attached to submission, but not shown in manuscrip

    Microlensing Detections of Moons of Exoplanets

    We investigate the characteristic of microlensing signals of Earth-like moons orbiting ice-giant planets. From this, we find that non-negligible satellite signals occur when the planet-moon separation is similar to or greater than the Einstein radius of the planet. We find that the satellite signal does not diminish with the increase of the planet-moon separation beyond the Einstein radius of the planet unlike the planetary signal which vanishes when the planet is located well beyond the Einstein radius of the star. We also find that the satellite signal tends to have the same sign as that of the planetary signal. These tendencies are caused by the lensing effect of the star on the moon in addition to the effect of the planet. We determine the range of satellite separations where the microlensing technique is optimized for the detections of moons. By setting an upper limit as the angle-average of the projected Hill radius and a lower limit as the half of the Einstein radius of the planet, we find that the microlensing method would be sensitive to moons with projected separations from the planet of 0.05AUdp0.24AU0.05 {\rm AU} \lesssim d_{\rm p} \lesssim 0.24 {\rm AU} for a Jupiter-mass planet, 0.03AUdp0.17AU0.03 {\rm AU}\lesssim d_{\rm p} \lesssim 0.17 {\rm AU} for a Saturn-mass planet, and 0.01AUdp0.08AU0.01 {\rm AU} \lesssim d_{\rm p} \lesssim 0.08 {\rm AU} for a Uranus-mass planet. We compare the characteristics of the moons to be detected by the microlensing and transit techniquesComment: 6pages, 6 figure

    Broadband dielectric response of glycerol and propylene carbonate: a comparison

    Full text link
    Dielectric data on glycerol and propylene carbonate covering 18 decades of frequency are presented and compared to each other. Both materials exhibit qualitatively similar behavior except for marked differences in the high-frequency region just below the boson peak. The results on both materials are consistent with the mode coupling theory of the glass transition.Comment: 8 pages including 4 figure
