Darboux transformation for classical acoustic spectral problem

We study discrete isospectral symmetries for the classical acoustic spectral problem in spatial dimensions one and two, by developing a Darboux (Moutard) transformation formalism for this problem. The procedure follows the steps, similar to those for the Schr\"{o}dinger operator. However, there is no one-to-one correspondence between the two problems. The technique developed enables one to construct new families of integrable potentials for the acoustic problem, in addition to those already known. The acoustic problem produces a non-linear Harry Dym PDE. Using the technique, we reproduce a pair of simple soliton solutions of this equation. These solutions are further used to construct a new positon solution for this PDE. Furthermore, using the dressing chain approach, we build a modified Harry Dym equation together with its LA-pair. As an application, we construct some singular and non-singular integrable potentials (dielectric permitivity) for the Maxwell equations in a 2D inhomogeneous medium.Comment: 16 pages; keywords Darboux (Moutard) transformation, Classical acoustic spectral problem, Reflexionless potentials, Soliton

Comparison of the hydrodynamic and Dirac models of the dispersion interaction between graphene and H, He∗{}^{\ast}, or Na atoms

The van der Waals and Casimir-Polder interaction of different atoms with graphene is investigated using the Dirac model which assumes that the energy of quasiparticles is linear with respect to the momentum. The obtained results for the van der Waals coefficients of hydrogen atoms and molecules and atoms of metastable He${}^{\ast}$ and Na as a function of separation are compared with respective results found using the hydrodynamic model of graphene. It is shown that, regardless of the value of the gap parameter, the Dirac model leads to much smaller values of the van der Waals coefficients than the hydrodynamic model. The experiment on quantum reflection of metastable He${}^{\ast}$ and Na atoms on graphene is proposed which is capable to discriminate between the two models of the electronic structure of graphene. In this respect the parameters of the phenomenological potential for both these atoms interacting with graphene described by different models are determined.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure

The Inverse Scattering Method, Lie-Backlund Transformations and Solitons for Low-energy Effective Field Equations of 5D String Theory

In the framework of the 5D low-energy effective field theory of the heterotic string with no vector fields excited, we combine two non-linear methods in order to construct a solitonic field configuration. We first apply the inverse scattering method on a trivial vacuum solution and obtain an stationary axisymmetric two-soliton configuration consisting of a massless gravitational field coupled to a non-trivial chargeless dilaton and to an axion field endowed with charge. The implementation of this method was done following a scheme previously proposed by Yurova. We also show that within this scheme, is not possible to get massive gravitational solitons at all. We then apply a non-linear Lie-Backlund matrix transformation of Ehlers type on this massless solution and get a massive rotating axisymmetric gravitational soliton coupled to axion and dilaton fields endowed with charges. We study as well some physical properties of the constructed massless and massive solitons and discuss on the effect of the generalized solution generating technique on the seed solution and its further generalizations.Comment: 17 pages in latex, changed title, improved text, added reference

Chiral models in dilaton-Maxwell gravity

We study symmetry properties of the Einstein-Maxwell theory nonminimaly coupled to the dilaton field. We consider a static case with pure electric (magnetic) Maxwell field and show that the resulting system becomes a nonlinear sigma-model wich possesses a chiral representation. We construct the corresponding chiral matrix and establish a representation which is related to the pair of Ernst-like potentials. These potentials are used for separation of the symmetry group into the gauge and nongauge (charging) sectors. New variables, which linearize the action of charging symmetries, are also established; a solution generation technique based on the use of charging symmetries is formulated. This technique is used for generation of the elecricaly (magneticaly) charged dilatonic fields from the static General Relativity ones.Comment: 9 pages in LaTex; published in Gen. Rel.

The action of the isometry subgroup which preserves the trivial values of the fields is studied for the stationary D=4 Einstein--Maxwell--Dilaton--Axion theory. The technique for generation of charges and the corresponding procedure for construction of new solutions is formulated. A solution describing the double rotating dyon with independent values of all physical charges is presented.Comment: 14 pages, RevTex, no figurie

Ergodicity criteria for non-expanding transformations of 2-adic spheres

In the paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for ergodicity (with respect to the normalized Haar measure) of discrete dynamical systems $$ on 2-adic spheres $\mathbf S_{2^{-r}}(a)$ of radius $2^{-r}$, $r\ge 1$, centered at some point $a$ from the ultrametric space of 2-adic integers $\mathbb Z_2$. The map $f\colon\mathbb Z_2\to\mathbb Z_2$ is assumed to be non-expanding and measure-preserving; that is, $f$ satisfies a Lipschitz condition with a constant 1 with respect to the 2-adic metric, and $f$ preserves a natural probability measure on $\mathbb Z_2$, the Haar measure $\mu_2$ on $\mathbb Z_2$ which is normalized so that $\mu_2(\mathbb Z_2)=1$
