Integration of D-dimensional 2-factor spaces cosmological models by reducing to the generalized Emden-Fowler equation

The D-dimensional cosmological model on the manifold $M = R \times M_{1} \times M_{2}$ describing the evolution of 2 Einsteinian factor spaces, $M_1$ and $M_2$, in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid source is considered. The barotropic equation of state for mass-energy densities and the pressures of the components is assumed in each space. When the number of the non Ricci-flat factor spaces and the number of the perfect fluid components are both equal to 2, the Einstein equations for the model are reduced to the generalized Emden-Fowler (second-order ordinary differential) equation, which has been recently investigated by Zaitsev and Polyanin within discrete-group analysis. Using the integrable classes of this equation one generates the integrable cosmological models. The corresponding metrics are presented. The method is demonstrated for the special model with Ricci-flat spaces $M_1,M_2$ and the 2-component perfect fluid source.Comment: LaTeX file, no figure

Numerical modeling of troposphere-induced gravity wave propagation

Sources of internal gravity waves (IGW) in the upper atmosphere are assumed to be meteorological processes in the troposphere. These sources are vertically and horizontally inhomogeneous and time dependent. In order to describe the IGW propagation from such sources, a numerical solution of a system of hydrodynamical equations is required. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the influence of the altitude latitude inhomogeneity of the temperature and wind fields on the IGW propagation as well as the processes of dissipation. An algorithm is proposed for numerical modelling of the IGW propagation over a limited area from tropospheric local sources to the upper atmosphere. The algorithm takes into account all the above features. A spectral grid method is used with the expansion of wave fields into the Fourier series over longitude. The upper limit conditions were obtained from the requirement of a limited energy dissipation rate in an atmospheric column. The no slip (zero velocity) condition was used at the Earth's surface

Proper time and path integral representations for the commutation function

On the example of the quantized spinor field, interacting with arbitrary external electromagnetic field, the commutation function is studied. It is shown that a proper time representation is available in any dimensions. Using it, all the light cone singularities of the function are found explicitly, generalizing the Fock formula in four dimensions, and a path integral representation is constructed.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, uses pictex macro

Toda chains with type A_m Lie algebra for multidimensional m-component perfect fluid cosmology

We consider a D-dimensional cosmological model describing an evolution of Ricci-flat factor spaces, M_1,...M_n (n > 2), in the presence of an m-component perfect fluid source (n > m > 1). We find characteristic vectors, related to the matter constants in the barotropic equations of state for fluid components of all factor spaces. We show that, in the case where we can interpret these vectors as the root vectors of a Lie algebra of Cartan type A_m=sl(m+1,C), the model reduces to the classical open m-body Toda chain. Using an elegant technique by Anderson (J. Math. Phys. 37 (1996) 1349) for solving this system, we integrate the Einstein equations for the model and present the metric in a Kasner-like form.Comment: LaTeX, 2 ps figure

Heat transfer in a one-dimensional harmonic crystal in a viscous environment subjected to an external heat supply

We consider unsteady heat transfer in a one-dimensional harmonic crystal surrounded by a viscous environment and subjected to an external heat supply. The basic equations for the crystal particles are stated in the form of a system of stochastic differential equations. We perform a continualization procedure and derive an infinite set of linear partial differential equations for covariance variables. An exact analytic solution describing unsteady ballistic heat transfer in the crystal is obtained. It is shown that the stationary spatial profile of the kinetic temperature caused by a point source of heat supply of constant intensity is described by the Macdonald function of zero order. A comparison with the results obtained in the framework of the classical heat equation is presented. We expect that the results obtained in the paper can be verified by experiments with laser excitation of low-dimensional nanostructures.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure

One-loop energy-momentum tensor in QED with electric-like background

We have obtained nonperturbative one-loop expressions for the mean energy-momentum tensor and current density of Dirac's field on a constant electric-like background. One of the goals of this calculation is to give a consistent description of back-reaction in such a theory. Two cases of initial states are considered: the vacuum state and the thermal equilibrium state. First, we perform calculations for the vacuum initial state. In the obtained expressions, we separate the contributions due to particle creation and vacuum polarization. The latter contributions are related to the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian. Then, we study the case of the thermal initial state. Here, we separate the contributions due to particle creation, vacuum polarization, and the contributions due to the work of the external field on the particles at the initial state. All these contributions are studied in detail, in different regimes of weak and strong fields and low and high temperatures. The obtained results allow us to establish restrictions on the electric field and its duration under which QED with a strong constant electric field is consistent. Under such restrictions, one can neglect the back-reaction of particles created by the electric field. Some of the obtained results generalize the calculations of Heisenberg-Euler for energy density to the case of arbitrary strong electric fields.Comment: 35 pages; misprints in the sign in definitions (40)-(43), and (68) corrected, results unchange

Coherent and semiclassical states in magnetic field in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm solenoid

A new approach to constructing coherent states (CS) and semiclassical states (SS) in magnetic-solenoid field is proposed. The main idea is based on the fact that the AB solenoid breaks the translational symmetry in the xy-plane, this has a topological effect such that there appear two types of trajectories which embrace and do not embrace the solenoid. Due to this fact, one has to construct two different kinds of CS/SS, which correspond to such trajectories in the semiclassical limit. Following this idea, we construct CS in two steps, first the instantaneous CS (ICS) and the time dependent CS/SS as an evolution of the ICS. The construction is realized for nonrelativistic and relativistic spinning particles both in (2+1)- and (3+1)- dimensions and gives a non-trivial example of SS/CS for systems with a nonquadratic Hamiltonian. It is stressed that CS depending on their parameters (quantum numbers) describe both pure quantum and semiclassical states. An analysis is represented that classifies parameters of the CS in such respect. Such a classification is used for the semiclassical decompositions of various physical quantities.Comment: 35 pages, 2 figures.

Quantum scalar field in FRW Universe with constant electromagnetic background

We discuss massive scalar field with conformal coupling in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) Universe of special type with constant electromagnetic field. Treating an external gravitational-electromagnetic background exactly, at first time the proper-time representations for out-in, in-in, and out-out scalar Green functions are explicitly constructed as proper-time integrals over the corresponding (complex) contours. The vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitudes and number of created particles are found and vacuum instability is discussed. The mean values of the current and energy-momentum tensor are evaluated, and different approximations for them are investigated. The back reaction of the particles created to the electromagnetic field is estimated in different regimes. The connection between proper-time method and effective action is outlined. The effective action in scalar QED in weakly-curved FRW Universe (De Sitter space) with weak constant electromagnetic field is found as derivative expansion over curvature and electromagnetic field strength. Possible further applications of the results are briefly mentioned.Comment: 38 pages, LaTe
