Discrete symmetry's chains and links between integrable equations

The discrete symmetry's dressing chains of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) and Davey-Stewartson equations (DS) are consider. The modified NLS (mNLS) equation and the modified DS (mDS) equations are obtained. The explicitly reversible Backlund auto-transformations for the mNLS and mDS equations are constructed. We demonstrate discrete symmetry's conjugate chains of the KP and DS models. The two-dimensional generalization of the P4 equation are obtained.Comment: 20 page

The linearization method and new classes of exact solutions in cosmology

We develop a method for constructing exact cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations based on representing them as a second-order linear differential equation. In particular, the method allows using an arbitrary known solution to construct a more general solution parameterized by a set of 3\textit{N} constants, where \textit{N} is an arbitrary natural number. The large number of free parameters may prove useful for constructing a theoretical model that agrees satisfactorily with the results of astronomical observations. Cosmological solutions on the Randall-Sundrum brane have similar properties. We show that three-parameter solutions in the general case already exhibit inflationary regimes. In contrast to previously studied two-parameter solutions, these three-parameter solutions can describe an exit from inflation without a fine tuning of the parameters and also several consecutive inflationary regimes.Comment: 7 page

A nonperturbative study of phase transitions in the multi-frequency sine-Gordon model

The phase spaces of the two- and three-frequency sine-Gordon models are examined in the framework of truncated conformal space approach. The focus is mainly on a tricritical point in the phase space of the three-frequency model. We give substantial evidence that this point exists. We also find the critical line in the phase space and present TCSA data showing the change of the spectrum on the critical line as the tricritical endpoint is approached. We find a few points of the line of first order transition as well.Comment: 26 pages, LaTeX, minor modificatio

The Big Trip and Wheeler-DeWitt equation

Of all the possible ways to describe the behavior of the universe that has undergone a big trip the Wheeler-DeWitt equation should be the most accurate -- provided, of course, that we employ the correct formulation. In this article we start by discussing the standard formulation introduced by Gonz\'alez-D\'iaz and Jimenez-Madrid, and show that it allows for a simple yet efficient method of the solution's generation, which is based on the Moutard transformation. Next, by shedding the unnecessary restrictions, imposed on aforementioned standard formulation we introduce a more general form of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. One immediate prediction of this new formula is that for the universe the probability to emerge right after the big trip in a state with $w=w_0$ will be maximal if and only if $w_0=-1/3$.Comment: accepted in Astrophysics and Space Scienc

One-point functions in integrable quantum field theory at finite temperature

We determine the form factor expansion of the one-point functions in integrable quantum field theory at finite temperature and find that it is simpler than previously conjectured. We show that no singularities are left in the final expression provided that the operator is local with respect to the particles and argue that the divergences arising in the non-local case are related to the absence of spontaneous symmetry breaking on the cylinder. As a specific application, we give the first terms of the low temperature expansion of the one-point functions for the Ising model in a magnetic field.Comment: 10 pages, late

Friedman vs Abel equations: A connection unraveled

We present an interesting connection between Einstein-Friedmann equations for the models of universe filled with scalar field and the special form of Abel equation of the first kind. This connection works in both ways: first, we show how, knowing the general solution of the Abel equation (corresponding to the given scalar field potential) one can obtain the general solution of the Friedman Equation (and use the former for studying such problems as existence of inflation with exit for particular models). On the other hand, one can invert the procedure and construct the B\"{a}cklund auto-transformations for the Abel equation.Comment: Replaced raw version (with fake abstract and acknowledgments) to a new, revised versio

Correlation functions of disorder operators in massive ghost theories

The two-dimensional ghost systems with negative integral central charge received much attention in the last years for their role in a number of applications and in connection with logarithmic conformal field theory. We consider the free massive bosonic and fermionic ghost systems and concentrate on the non-trivial sectors containing the disorder operators. A unified analysis of the correlation functions of such operators can be performed for ghosts and ordinary complex bosons and fermions. It turns out that these correlators depend only on the statistics although the scaling dimensions of the disorder operators change when going from the ordinary to the ghost case. As known from the study of the ordinary case, the bosonic and fermionic correlation functions are the inverse of each other and are exactly expressible through the solution of a non-linear differential equation.Comment: 8 pages, late

Astronomical bounds on future big freeze singularity

Recently it was found that dark energy in the form of phantom generalized Chaplygin gas may lead to a new form of the cosmic doomsday, the big freeze singularity. Like the big rip singularity, the big freeze singularity would also take place at a finite future cosmic time, but unlike the big rip singularity it happens for a finite scale factor.Our goal is to test if a universe filled with phantom generalized Chaplygin gas can conform to the data of astronomical observations. We shall see that if the universe is only filled with generalized phantom Chaplygin gas with equation of state $p=-c^2s^2/\rho^{\alpha}$ with $\alpha<-1$, then such a model cannot be matched to the data of astronomical observations. To construct matched models one actually need to add dark matter. This procedure results in cosmological scenarios which do not contradict the data of astronomical observations and allows one to estimate how long we are now from the future big freeze doomsday.Comment: 8 page
