Billiard Representation for Multidimensional Cosmology with Intersecting p-branes near the Singularity
Multidimensional model describing the cosmological evolution of n Einstein
spaces in the theory with l scalar fields and forms is considered. When
electro-magnetic composite p-brane ansatz is adopted, and certain restrictions
on the parameters of the model are imposed, the dynamics of the model near the
singularity is reduced to a billiard on the (N-1)-dimensional Lobachevsky
space, N = n+l. The geometrical criterion for the finiteness of the billiard
volume and its compactness is used. This criterion reduces the problem to the
problem of illumination of (N-2)-dimensional sphere by point-like sources. Some
examples with billiards of finite volume and hence oscillating behaviour near
the singularity are considered. Among them examples with square and triangle
2-dimensional billiards (e.g. that of the Bianchi-IX model) and a 4-dimensional
billiard in ``truncated'' D = 11 supergravity model (without the Chern-Simons
term) are considered. It is shown that the inclusion of the Chern-Simons term
destroys the confining of a billiard.Comment: 27 pages Latex, 3 figs., submit. to Class. Quantum Gra
A note on quantization operators on Nichols algebra model for Schubert calculus on Weyl groups
We give a description of the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the flag
variety as a certain commutative subalgebra in the tensor product of the
Nichols algebras. Our main result can be considered as a quantum analog of a
result by Y. Bazlov
Combinatorics of -orbits and Bruhat--Chevalley order on involutions
Let be the group of invertible upper-triangular complex
matrices, the space of upper-triangular complex matrices with
zeroes on the diagonal and its dual space. The group acts
on by , , ,
.
To each involution in , the symmetric group on letters, one
can assign the -orbit . We present a
combinatorial description of the partial order on the set of involutions
induced by the orbit closures. The answer is given in terms of rook placements
and is dual to A. Melnikov's results on -orbits on .
Using results of F. Incitti, we also prove that this partial order coincides
with the restriction of the Bruhat--Chevalley order to the set of involutions.Comment: 27 page
Boundary bound states and boundary bootstrap in the sine-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
We present a complete study of boundary bound states and related boundary
S-matrices for the sine-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our
approach is based partly on the bootstrap procedure, and partly on the explicit
solution of the inhomogeneous XXZ model with boundary magnetic field and of the
boundary Thirring model. We identify boundary bound states with new ``boundary
strings'' in the Bethe ansatz. The boundary energy is also computed.Comment: 25 pages, harvmac macros Report USC-95-001
Ground state and low excitations of an integrable chain with alternating spins
An anisotropic integrable spin chain, consisting of spins and
, is investigated \cite{devega}. It is characterized by two real
parameters and , the coupling constants of the spin
interactions. For the case and the ground state
configuration is obtained by means of thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. Furthermore
the low excitations are calculated. It turns out, that apart from free magnon
states being the holes in the ground state rapidity distribution, there exist
bound states given by special string solutions of Bethe ansatz equations (BAE)
in analogy to \cite{babelon}. The dispersion law of these excitations is
calculated numerically.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, uses ioplppt.sty and PicTeX macro
Deuteron tensor polarization component T_20(Q^2) as a crucial test for deuteron wave functions
The deuteron tensor polarization component T_20(Q^2) is calculated by
relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics approach. It is shown that in the range of
momentum transfers available in to-day experiments, relativistic effects, meson
exchange currents and the choice of nucleon electromagnetic form factors almost
do not influence the value of T_20(Q^2). At the same time, this value depends
strongly on the actual form of the deuteron wave function, that is on the model
of NN-interaction in deuteron. So the existing data for T_20(Q^2) provide a
crucial test for deuteron wave functions.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
