On the variance of the number of occupied boxes

We consider the occupancy problem where balls are thrown independently at infinitely many boxes with fixed positive frequencies. It is well known that the random number of boxes occupied by the first n balls is asymptotically normal if its variance V_n tends to infinity. In this work, we mainly focus on the opposite case where V_n is bounded, and derive a simple necessary and sufficient condition for convergence of V_n to a finite limit, thus settling a long-standing question raised by Karlin in the seminal paper of 1967. One striking consequence of our result is that the possible limit may only be a positive integer number. Some new conditions for other types of behavior of the variance, like boundedness or convergence to infinity, are also obtained. The proofs are based on the poissonization techniques.Comment: 34 page

CsMgPO4

Caesium magnesium orthophosphate is built up from MgO4 and PO4 tetra­hedra (both with . m. symmetry) linked together by corners, forming a three-dimensional framework. The Cs atoms have .m. site symmetry and are located in hexa­gonal channels running along the a- and b-axis directions

Phase Splitting for Periodic Lie Systems

In the context of the Floquet theory, using a variation of parameter argument, we show that the logarithm of the monodromy of a real periodic Lie system with appropriate properties admits a splitting into two parts, called dynamic and geometric phases. The dynamic phase is intrinsic and linked to the Hamiltonian of a periodic linear Euler system on the co-algebra. The geometric phase is represented as a surface integral of the symplectic form of a co-adjoint orbit.Comment: (v1) 15 pages. (v2) 16 pages. Some typos corrected.

Berry phases for the nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a quadratic potential

A countable set of asymptotic space -- localized solutions is constructed by the complex germ method in the adiabatic approximation for the nonstationary Gross -- Pitaevskii equation with nonlocal nonlinearity and a quadratic potential. The asymptotic parameter is 1/T, where $T\gg1$ is the adiabatic evolution time. A generalization of the Berry phase of the linear Schr\"odinger equation is formulated for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For the solutions constructed, the Berry phases are found in explicit form.Comment: 13 pages, no figure

Instability of coherent states of a real scalar field

We investigate stability of both localized time-periodic coherent states (pulsons) and uniformly distributed coherent states (oscillating condensate) of a real scalar field satisfying the Klein-Gordon equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity. The linear analysis of time-dependent parts of perturbations leads to the Hill equation with a singular coefficient. To evaluate the characteristic exponent we extend the Lindemann-Stieltjes method, usually applied to the Mathieu and Lame equations, to the case that the periodic coefficient in the general Hill equation is an unbounded function of time. As a result, we derive the formula for the characteristic exponent and calculate the stability-instability chart. Then we analyze the spatial structure of the perturbations. Using these results we show that the pulsons of any amplitudes, remaining well-localized objects, lose their coherence with time. This means that, strictly speaking, all pulsons of the model considered are unstable. Nevertheless, for the nodeless pulsons the rate of the coherence breaking in narrow ranges of amplitudes is found to be very small, so that such pulsons can be long-lived. Further, we use the obtaned stability-instability chart to examine the Affleck-Dine type condensate. We conclude the oscillating condensate can decay into an ensemble of the nodeless pulsons.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Physical Review

SPERMATOGENIC TESTICULAR FUNCTION IN MEN WITH CHRONIC UROGENITAL MONOTRICHOMONIASIS AND PATHOSPERMIA

We did not observed significant differences in levels of inhibin B and follicle-stimulating hormone in serum samples of men with chronic urogenital trichomoniasis and different spermogram. It confirmed that spermatogenic testicular function in these men is preserved
