Chiral Symmetry Restoration and Quark Deconfinement beyond Mean Field in a Magnetized PNJL Model

We study chiral symmetry restoration and quark deconfinement beyond mean field approximation in a magnetized PNJL model. The feedback from mesons to quarks modifies the quark coupling constant and Polyakov potential. As a result, the separate critical temperatures for the two phase transitions at mean field level coincide and the magnetic catalysis becomes inverse magnetic catalysis, when the meson contribution is included.Comment: 5 pages,3 figure

A representation formula related to Schrodinger operators

Let H be a Schrodinger operator on the real line, where the potential is in L^1 and L^2. We define the perturbed Fourier transform F for H and show that F is an isometry from the absolute continuous subspace onto L^2. This property allows us to construct a kernel formula for spectral operators. The main theorem improves the author's previous result for certain short-range potentials.Comment: four pages, to appear in Anal. Theo. App

From Inverse to Delayed Magnetic Catalysis in Strong Magnetic Field

We study magnetic field effect on chiral phase transition in a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In comparison with mean field approximation containing quarks only, including mesons as quantum fluctuations in the model leads to a transition from inverse to delayed magnetic catalysis at finite temperature and delays the transition at finite baryon chemical potential. The location of the critical end point depends on the the magnetic field non-monotonously.Comment: 5 pages, 5 fig

Two new standing solitary waves in shallow water

In this paper, the closed-form analytic solutions of two new Faraday's standing solitary waves due to the parametric resonance of liquid in a vessel vibrating vertically with a constant frequency are given for the first time. Using a model based on the symmetry of wave elevation and the linearized Boussinesq equation, we gain the closed-form wave elevations of the two kinds of non-monotonically decaying standing solitary waves with smooth crest and the even or odd symmetry. All of them have never been reported, to the best of our knowledge. Besides, they can well explain some experimental phenomena. All of these are helpful to deepen and enrich our understandings about standing solitary waves and Faraday's wave.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Wave Motio

A new non-perturbative approach in quantum mechanics for time-independent Schr\"{o}dinger equations

A new non-perturbative approach is proposed to solve time-independent Schr\"{o}dinger equations in quantum mechanics and chromodynamics (QCD). It is based on the homotopy analysis method (HAM), which was developed by the author for highly nonlinear equations since 1992 and has been widely applied in many fields. Unlike perturbative methods, this HAM-based approach has nothing to do with small/large physical parameters. Besides, convergent series solution can be obtained even if the disturbance is far from the known status. A nonlinear harmonic oscillator is used as an example to illustrate the validity of this approach for disturbances that might be more than hundreds larger than the possible superior limit of the perturbative approach. This HAM-based approach could provide us rigorous theoretical results in quantum mechanics and chromodynamics (QCD), which can be directly compared with experimental data. Obviously, this is of great benefit not only for improving the accuracy of experimental measurements but also for validating physical theories.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, 9 table

Spectral multipliers for Schroedinger operators with Poeschl-Teller potential

We prove a sharp Mihlin-Hormander multiplier theorem for Schroedinger operators $H$ on $\R^n$. The method, which allows us to deal with general potentials, improves Hebisch's method relying on heat kernel estimates for positive potentials. Our result applies to, in particular, the negative Poeschl-Teller potential V(x)= -\nu(\nu+1) \sech^2 x , $\nu\in \N$, for which $H$ has a resonance at zero.Comment: 23 page

Structure of Compact Stars in Pion Superfluid Phase

The gross structure of compact stars composed of pion superfluid quark matter is investigated in the frame of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Under the Pauli-Villars regularization scheme, the uncertainty of the thermodynamic functions for inhomogeneous states is cured, and the LOFF state appeared in the hard cutoff scheme is removed from the phase diagram of pion superfluid. Different from the unpaired quark matter and color superconductor, the strongly coupled pion superfluid in the state close to the BCS limit is a possible candidate of compact stars with mass $M\simeq 3M_{\odot }$ and radius $R\simeq 14$ km.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

On peaked solitary waves of Camassa-Holm equation

Unlike the Boussinesq, KdV and BBM equations, the celebrated Casamma-Holm (CH) equation can model both phenomena of soliton interaction and wave breaking. Especially, it has peaked solitary waves in case of omega=0. Besides, in case of omega > 0, its solitary wave "becomes $C^\infty$ and there is no derivative discontinuity at its peak", as mentioned by Camassa and Holm in 1993 (PRL). However, it is found in this article that the CH equation has peaked solitary waves even in case of omega > 0. Especially, all of these peaked solitary waves have an unusual property: their phase speeds have nothing to do with the height of peakons or anti-peakons. Therefore, in contrast to the traditional view-points, the peaked solitary waves are a common property of the CH equation: in fact, all mainstream models of shallow water waves admit such kind of peaked solitary wavesComment: 11 pages, 4 figures, 2 table

On cusped solitary waves in finite water depth

It is well-known that the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation admits both of the peaked and cusped solitary waves in shallow water. However, it was an open question whether or not the exact wave equations can admit them in finite water depth. Besides, it was traditionally believed that cusped solitary waves, whose 1st-derivative tends to infinity at crest, are essentially different from peaked solitary ones with finite 1st-derivative. Currently, based on the symmetry and the exact water wave equations, Liao [1] proposed a unified wave model (UWM) for progressive gravity waves in finite water depth. The UWM admits not only all traditional smooth progressive waves but also the peaked solitary waves in finite water depth: in other words, the peaked solitary progressive waves are consistent with the traditional smooth ones. In this paper, in the frame of the linearized UWM, we further give, for the first time, the cusped solitary waves in finite water depth, and besides reveal a close relationship between the cusped and peaked solitary waves: a cusped solitary wave is consist of an infinite number of peaked solitary ones with the same phase speed, so that it can be regarded as a special peaked solitary wave. This also well explains why and how a cuspon has an infinite 1st-derivative at crest. It is found that, like peaked solitary waves, the vertical velocity of a cusped solitary wave in finite water depth is also discontinuous at crest (x=0), and especially its phase speed has nothing to do with wave height, too. In addition, it is unnecessary to consider whether the peaked/cusped solitary waves given by the UWM are weak solution or not, since the governing equation is not necessary to be satisfied at crest. All of these would deepen and enrich our understandings about the cusped solitary waves.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

Littlewood-Paley theorem for Schroedinger operators

Let $H$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $\R^n$. Under a polynomial decay condition for the kernel of its spectral operator, we show that the Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces associated with $H$ are well defined. We further give a Littlewood-Paley characterization of $L_p$ spaces as well as Sobolev spaces in terms of dyadic functions of $H$. This generalizes and strengthens the previous result when the heat kernel of $H$ satisfies certain upper Gaussian bound.Comment: eight pages. submitte
