Quaternionic factorization of the Schroedinger operator and its applications to some first order systems of mathematical physics
We consider the following first order systems of mathematical physics.
1.The Dirac equation with scalar potential. 2.The Dirac equation with
electric potential. 3.The Dirac equation with pseudoscalar potential. 4.The
system describing non-linear force free magnetic fields or Beltrami fields with
nonconstant proportionality factor. 5.The Maxwell equations for slowly changing
media. 6.The static Maxwell system.
We show that all this variety of first order systems reduces to a single
quaternionic equation the analysis of which in its turn reduces to the solution
of a Schroedinger equation with biquaternionic potential. In some important
situations the biquaternionic potential can be diagonalized and converted into
scalar potentials
On a factorization of second order elliptic operators and applications
We show that given a nonvanishing particular solution of the equation
(divpgrad+q)u=0 (1) the corresponding differential operator can be factorized
into a product of two first order operators. The factorization allows us to
reduce the equation (1) to a first order equation which in a two-dimensional
case is the Vekua equation of a special form. Under quite general conditions on
the coefficients p and q we obtain an algorithm which allows us to construct in
explicit form the positive formal powers (solutions of the Vekua equation
generalizing the usual powers of the variable z). This result means that under
quite general conditions one can construct an infinite system of exact
solutions of (1) explicitly, and moreover, at least when p and q are real
valued this system will be complete in ker(divpgrad+q) in the sense that any
solution of (1) in a simply connected domain can be represented as an infinite
series of obtained exact solutions which converges uniformly on any compact
subset of . Finally we give a similar factorization of the operator
(divpgrad+q) in a multidimensional case and obtain a natural generalization of
the Vekua equation which is related to second order operators in a similar way
as its two-dimensional prototype does
Magnetic-Field-Driven Superconductor-Insulator-Type Transition in Graphite
A magnetic-field-driven transition from metallic- to semiconducting-type
behavior in the basal-plane resistance takes place in highly oriented pyrolytic
graphite at a field kOe applied along the hexagonal c-axis. The
analysis of the data reveals a striking similarity between this transition and
that measured in thin-film superconductors and Si MOSFET's. However, in
contrast to those materials, the transition in graphite is observable at almost
two orders of magnitude higher temperatures.Comment: 4 Figure
Schreier Graphs for a Self-Similar Action of the Heisenberg Group
We construct a faithful self-similar action of the discrete Heisenberg group with the following properties: This action is self-replicating, finite-state, level-transitive, and noncontracting. Moreover, there exist orbital Schreier graphs of action on the boundary of the tree with different degrees of growth.Побудовано точну самоподiбну дію дискретної групи Гейзенберга з наступними властивостями.

Coherent back-scattering near the two-dimensional metal-insulator transition
We have studied corrections to conductivity due to the coherent
backscattering in low-disordered two-dimensional electron systems in silicon
for a range of electron densities including the vicinity of the metal-insulator
transition, where the dramatic increase of the spin susceptibility has been
observed earlier. We show that the corrections, which exist deeper in the
metallic phase, weaken upon approaching to the transition and practically
vanish at the critical density, thus suggesting that the localization is
suppressed near and at the transition even in zero field.Comment: to appear in PR
