Integrable superconductivity and Richardson equations

For the integrable generalized model of superconductivity a solution of the Richardson equations for a spectrum of model is studied. For the case of narrow band the solution is presented in terms of the generalized Laguerre or Jacobi polynomials. In asymptotic limit, when the Richardson equations are transformed to an integral singular equation, the properties of an integration contour are discussed and a spectral density is calculated. Conditions for appearance of gaps in the spectrum are considered.Для інтегровної узагальненої моделі надпровідності досліджено розв'язання рівнянь Річардсона для спектра моделі. У випадку вузької зони розв'язок подано в термінах узагальнених поліномів Лагерра та Якобі. В асимптотичному випадку, коли рівняння Річардсона трансформуються в інтегральне сингулярне рівняння, з'ясовано властивості контура інтегрування та розраховано спектральну щільність.

Lam\'e polynomials, hyperelliptic reductions and Lam\'e band structure

The band structure of the Lam\'e equation, viewed as a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic potential, is studied. At integer values of the degree parameter l, the dispersion relation is reduced to the l=1 dispersion relation, and a previously published l=2 dispersion relation is shown to be partially incorrect. The Hermite-Krichever Ansatz, which expresses Lam\'e equation solutions in terms of l=1 solutions, is the chief tool. It is based on a projection from a genus-l hyperelliptic curve, which parametrizes solutions, to an elliptic curve. A general formula for this covering is derived, and is used to reduce certain hyperelliptic integrals to elliptic ones. Degeneracies between band edges, which can occur if the Lam\'e equation parameters take complex values, are investigated. If the Lam\'e equation is viewed as a differential equation on an elliptic curve, a formula is conjectured for the number of points in elliptic moduli space (elliptic curve parameter space) at which degeneracies occur. Tables of spectral polynomials and Lam\'e polynomials, i.e., band edge solutions, are given. A table in the older literature is corrected.Comment: 38 pages, 1 figure; final revision

Wannier functions of elliptic one-gap potentials

Wannier functions of the one dimensional Schroedinger equation with elliptic one gap potentials are explicitly constructed. Properties of these functions are analytically and numerically investigated. In particular we derive an expression for the amplitude of the Wannier function in the origin, a power series expansion valid in the vicinity of the origin and an asymptotic expansion characterizing the decay of the Wannier function at large distances. Using these results we construct an approximate analytical expression of the Wannier function which is valid in the whole spatial domain and is in good agreement with numerical results.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figure

The Heun equation and the Calogero-Moser-Sutherland system IV: the Hermite-Krichever Ansatz

We develop a theory for the Hermite-Krichever Ansatz on the Heun equation. As a byproduct, we find formulae which reduce hyperelliptic integrals to elliptic ones.Comment: 34 page

Mendeleev Table: a Proof of Madelung Rule and Atomic Tietz Potential

We prove that a neutral atom in mean-field approximation has O(4) symmetry and this fact explains the empirical [n+l,n]-rule or Madelung rule which describes effectively periods, structure and other properties of the Mendeleev table of chemical elements

Large-small dualities between periodic collapsing/expanding branes and brane funnels

We consider space and time dependent fuzzy spheres $S^{2p}$ arising in $D1-D(2p+1)$ intersections in IIB string theory and collapsing D(2p)-branes in IIA string theory. In the case of $S^2$, where the periodic space and time-dependent solutions can be described by Jacobi elliptic functions, there is a duality of the form $r$ to ${1 \over r}$ which relates the space and time dependent solutions. This duality is related to complex multiplication properties of the Jacobi elliptic functions. For $S^4$ funnels, the description of the periodic space and time dependent solutions involves the Jacobi Inversion problem on a hyper-elliptic Riemann surface of genus 3. Special symmetries of the Riemann surface allow the reduction of the problem to one involving a product of genus one surfaces. The symmetries also allow a generalisation of the $r$ to ${1 \over r}$ duality. Some of these considerations extend to the case of the fuzzy $S^6$.Comment: Latex, 50 pages, 2 figures ; v2 : a systematic typographical error corrected + minor change
