Jones index theory for Hilbert C*-bimodules and its equivalence with conjugation theory

We introduce the notion of finite right (respectively left) numerical index on a bimodule $X$ over C*-algebras A and B with a bi-Hilbertian structure. This notion is based on a Pimsner-Popa type inequality. The right (respectively left) index element of X can be constructed in the centre of the enveloping von Neumann algebra of A (respectively B). X is called of finite right index if the right index element lies in the multiplier algebra of A. In this case we can perform the Jones basic construction. Furthermore the C*--algebra of bimodule mappings with a right adjoint is a continuous field of finite dimensional C*-algebras over the spectrum of Z(M(A)), whose fiber dimensions are bounded above by the index. We show that if A is unital, the right index element belongs to A if and only if X is finitely generated as a right module. We show that bi-Hilbertian, finite (right and left) index C*-bimodules are precisely those objects of the tensor 2-C*-category of right Hilbertian C*-bimodules with a conjugate object, in the sense of Longo and Roberts, in the same category.Comment: 59 pages, amste

On a q-difference Painlev\'e III equation: II. Rational solutions

Rational solutions for a $q$-difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III equation are considered. A Determinant formula of Jacobi-Trudi type for the solutions is constructed.Comment: Archive version is already official. Published by JNMP at http://www.sm.luth.se/math/JNMP

Hypergeometric solutions to the q-Painlev\'e equation of type A4(1)A_4^{(1)}

We consider the q-Painlev\'e equation of type $A_4^{(1)}$ (a version of q-Painlev\'e V equation) and construct a family of solutions expressible in terms of certain basic hypergeometric series. We also present the determinant formula for the solutions.Comment: 16 pages, IOP styl

Enhancement of the spin pumping efficiency by spin-wave mode selection

The spin pumping efficiency of lateral standing spin wave modes in a rectangular YIG/Pt sample has been investigated by means of the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE). The standing spin waves drive spin pumping, the generation of spin currents from magnetization precession, into the Pt layer which is converted into a detectable voltage due to the ISHE. We discovered that the spin pumping efficiency is significantly higher for lateral standing surface spin waves rather than for volume spin wave modes. The results suggest that the use of higher-mode surface spin waves allows for the fabrication of an efficient spin-current injector

Nambu-Hamiltonian flows associated with discrete maps

For a differentiable map $(x_1,x_2,..., x_n)\to (X_1,X_2,..., X_n)$ that has an inverse, we show that there exists a Nambu-Hamiltonian flow in which one of the initial value, say $x_n$, of the map plays the role of time variable while the others remain fixed. We present various examples which exhibit the map-flow correspondence.Comment: 19 page
