Global Monge-Ampere equation with asymptotically periodic data

Let $u$ be a convex solution to $\det(D^2u)=f$ in $\mathbb R^n$ where $f\in C^{1,\alpha}(\mathbb R^n)$ is asymptotically close to a periodic function $f_p$. We prove that the difference between $u$ and a parabola is asymptotically close to a periodic function at infinity, for dimension $n\ge 3$.Comment: 20 page

Role reversal in a Bose-condensed optomechanical system

We analyze the optomechanics-like properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped inside an optical resonator and driven by both a classical and a quantized light field. We find that this system exhibits a nature of role reversal between the matter-wave field and the quantized light field. As a result, the matter wave field now plays the role of the quantized light field, and the quantized light field behaves like a movable mirror, in contrast to the familiar situation in BEC-based cavity optomechanics [Brennecke et al., Science 322, 235 (2008); Murch et al., Nat. Phys. 4, 561 (2008)]. We demonstrate that this system can lead to the creation of a variety of nonclassical matter-wave fields, in particular cat states, and discuss several possible protocols to measure their Wigner function

The gl(M|N) Super Yangian and Its Finite Dimensional Representations

Methods are developed for systematically constructing the finite dimensional irreducible representations of the super Yangian Y(gl(M|N)) associated with the Lie superalgebra gl(M|N). It is also shown that every finite dimensional irreducible representation of Y(gl(M|N)) is of highest weight type, and is uniquely characterized by a highest weight. The necessary and sufficient conditions for an irrep to be finite dimensional are given.Comment: 14 pages plain late
