    Local virial relation and velocity anisotropy for collisionless self-gravitating systems

    Full text link
    The collisionless quasi-equilibrium state realized after the cold collapse of self-gravitating systems has two remarkable characters. One of them is the linear temperature-mass (TM) relation, which yields a characteristic non-Gaussian velocity distribution. Another is the local virial (LV) relation, the virial relation which holds even locally in collisionless systems through phase mixing such as cold-collapse. A family of polytropes are examined from a view point of these two characters. The LV relation imposes a strong constraint on these models: only polytropes with index n5n \sim 5 with a flat boundary condition at the center are compatible with the numerical results, except for the outer region. Using the analytic solutions based on the static and spherical Jeans equation, we show that this incompatibility in the outer region implies the important effect of anisotropy of velocity dispersion. Furthermore, the velocity anisotropy is essential in explaining various numerical results under the condition of the local virial relation.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Proceedings of CN-Kyoto International Workshop on Complexity and Nonextensivity; added a reference for section

    Thermodynamic black di-rings

    Full text link
    Previously the five dimensional S1S^1-rotating black rings have been superposed in a concentric way by some solitonic methods, and regular systems of two S1S^1-rotating black rings were constructed by the authors and then Evslin and Krishnan (we called these solutions "black di-rings"). In this place we show some characteristics of the solutions of five dimensional black di-rings, especially in thermodynamic equilibrium. After the summary of the di-ring expressions and their physical quantities, first we comment on the equivalence of the two different solution sets of the black di-rings. Then the existence of thermodynamic black di-rings is shown, in which both isothermality and isorotation between the inner black ring and the outer black ring are realized. We also give detailed analysis of peculiar properties of the thermodynamic black di-ring including discussion about a certain kind of thermodynamic stability (instability) of the system.Comment: 26 pages,10 figures; references added, typos corredte

    The vicinity of KSC, where the primary ground truth site of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) program is located, was the focal point of the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification (CaPE) experiment in Jul. and Aug. 1991. In addition to several specialized radars, local coverage was provided by the C-band (5 cm) radar at Patrick AFB. Point measurements of rain rate were provided by tipping bucket rain gage networks. Besides these ground-based activities, airborne radar measurements with X- and Ka-band nadir-looking radars on board an aircraft were also recorded. A unique combination data set of airborne radar observations with ground-based observations was obtained in the summer convective rain regime of central Florida. We present a comparison of these data intending a preliminary validation. A convective rain event was observed simultaneously by all three instrument types on the evening of 27 Jul. 1991. The high resolution aircraft radar was flown over convective cells with tops exceeding 10 km and observed reflectivities of 40 to 50 dBZ at 4 to 5 km altitude, while the low resolution surface radar observed 35 to 55 dBZ echoes and a rain gage indicated maximum surface rain rates exceeding 100 mm/hr. The height profile of reflectivity measured with the airborne radar show an attenuation of 6.5 dB/km (two way) for X-band, corresponding to a rainfall rate of 95 mm/hr

    Naked Singularity Explosion

    Full text link
    It is known that the gravitational collapse of a dust ball results in naked singularity formation from an initial density profile which is physically reasonable. In this paper, we show that explosive radiation is emitted during the formation process of the naked singularity.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for Publication in Phys. Rev.

    New Axisymmetric Stationary Solutions of Five-dimensional Vacuum Einstein Equations with Asymptotic Flatness

    Full text link
    New axisymmetric stationary solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in five-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes are obtained by using solitonic solution-generating techniques. The new solutions are shown to be equivalent to the four-dimensional multi-solitonic solutions derived from particular class of four-dimensional Weyl solutions and to include different black rings from those obtained by Emparan and Reall.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures;typos corrected, presentations improved, references added;accepted versio

    Rotating Black Holes on Kaluza-Klein Bubbles

    Full text link
    Using the solitonic solution generating techniques, we generate a new exact solution which describes a pair of rotating black holes on a Kaluza-Klein bubble as a vacuum solution in the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We also investigate the properties of this solution. Two black holes with topology S^3 are rotating along the same direction and the bubble plays a role in holding two black holes. In static case, it coincides with the solution found by Elvang and Horowitz.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, minor correctio

    General Connectivity Distribution Functions for Growing Networks with Preferential Attachment of Fractional Power

    Full text link
    We study the general connectivity distribution functions for growing networks with preferential attachment of fractional power, Πikα\Pi_{i} \propto k^{\alpha}, using the Simon's method. We first show that the heart of the previously known methods of the rate equations for the connectivity distribution functions is nothing but the Simon's method for word problem. Secondly, we show that the case of fractional α\alpha the ZZ-transformation of the rate equation provides a fractional differential equation of new type, which coincides with that for PA with linear power, when α=1\alpha = 1. We show that to solve such a fractional differential equation we need define a transidental function Υ(a,s,c;z)\Upsilon (a,s,c;z) that we call {\it upsilon function}. Most of all previously known results are obtained consistently in the frame work of a unified theory.Comment: 10 page

    Classical no-cloning theorem under Liouville dynamics by non-Csisz\'ar f-divergence

    Full text link
    The Csisz\'ar f-divergence, which is a class of information distances, is known to offer a useful tool for analysing the classical counterpart of the cloning operations that are quantum mechanically impossible for the factorized and marginality classical probability distributions under Liouville dynamics. We show that a class of information distances that does not belong to this divergence class also allows for the formulation of a classical analogue of the quantum no-cloning theorem. We address a family of nonlinear Liouville-like equations, and generic distances, to obtain constraints on the corresponding functional forms, associated with the formulation of classical analogue of the no-cloning principle.Comment: 6 pages, revised, published versio
