    Total Representations

    Full text link
    Almost all representations considered in computable analysis are partial. We provide arguments in favor of total representations (by elements of the Baire space). Total representations make the well known analogy between numberings and representations closer, unify some terminology, simplify some technical details, suggest interesting open questions and new invariants of topological spaces relevant to computable analysis.Comment: 30 page

    On tree form-factors in (supersymmetric) Yang-Mills theory

    Get PDF
    {\it Perturbiner}, that is, the solution of field equations which is a generating function for tree form-factors in N=3 (N=4)(N=4) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, is studied in the framework of twistor formulation of the N=3 superfield equations. In the case, when all one-particle asymptotic states belong to the same type of N=3 supermultiplets (without any restriction on kinematics), the solution is described very explicitly. It happens to be a natural supersymmetrization of the self-dual perturbiner in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, designed to describe the Parke-Taylor amplitudes. In the general case, we reduce the problem to a neatly formulated algebraic geometry problem (see Eqs(\ref{5.15i}),(\ref{5.15ii}),(\ref{5.15iii})) and propose an iterative algorithm for solving it, however we have not been able to find a closed-form solution. Solution of this problem would, of course, produce a description of all tree form-factors in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as well. In this context, the N=3 superfield formalism may be considered as a convenient way to describe a solution of the non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, very much in the spirit of works by E.Witten \cite{Witten} and by J.Isenberg, P.B.Yasskin and P.S.Green \cite{2}.Comment: 17 pages, Latex, the form of citation in the abstract have been corrected by xxx.lanl.gov reques

    Geometry and Physics on w∞w_{\infty} Orbits

    Full text link
    We apply the coadjoint orbit technique to the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms (APD) of a 2D manifold, particularly to the APD of the semi-infinite cylinder which is identified with w∞w_{\infty}. The geometrical action obtained is relevant to both ww gravity and 2D turbulence. For the latter we describe the hamiltonian, which appears to be given by the Schwinger mass term, and discuss some possible developments within our approach. Next we show that the set of highest weight orbits of w∞w_{\infty} splits into subsets, each of which consists of highest weight orbits of wˉN\bar{w}_N for a given N. We specify the general APD geometric action to an orbit of wˉN\bar{w}_N and describe an appropriate set of observables, thus getting an action and observables for wˉN\bar{w}_N gravity. We compute also the Ricci form on the wˉN\bar{w}_N orbits, what gives us the critical central charge of the wˉN\bar{w}_N string, which appears to be the same as the one of the WNW_N string.Comment: 19 pages, LATEX, with notation wNw_N changed to wˉN\bar{w}_N, with 3 more references and with note added in proo

    Computing Solution Operators of Boundary-value Problems for Some Linear Hyperbolic Systems of PDEs

    Full text link
    We discuss possibilities of application of Numerical Analysis methods to proving computability, in the sense of the TTE approach, of solution operators of boundary-value problems for systems of PDEs. We prove computability of the solution operator for a symmetric hyperbolic system with computable real coefficients and dissipative boundary conditions, and of the Cauchy problem for the same system (we also prove computable dependence on the coefficients) in a cube Q⊆RmQ\subseteq\mathbb R^m. Such systems describe a wide variety of physical processes (e.g. elasticity, acoustics, Maxwell equations). Moreover, many boundary-value problems for the wave equation also can be reduced to this case, thus we partially answer a question raised in Weihrauch and Zhong (2002). Compared with most of other existing methods of proving computability for PDEs, this method does not require existence of explicit solution formulas and is thus applicable to a broader class of (systems of) equations.Comment: 31 page
