We examine the stimulated light scattering onto the propagation modes of a dissipative optical lattice. We show that two different pump-probe configurations may lead to the excitation, via different mechanisms, of the same mode. We found that in one configuration the scattering on the propagation mode results in a resonance in the probe transmission spectrum

We have observed the phenomenon of stochastic resonance on the Brillouin propagation modes of a dissipative optical lattice. Such a mode has been excited by applying a moving potential modulation with phase velocity equal to the velocity of the mode. Its amplitude has been characterized by the center-of-mass (CM) velocity of the atomic cloud. At Brillouin re

Entanglement transformation of composite quantum systems is investigated in the context of group representation theory. Representation of the direct product group $SL(2,C)\otimes SL(2,C)$, composed of local operators acting on the binary composite system, is realized in the four-dimensional complex space in terms of a set of novel bases that are pseudo ortho

We show how one can perform arbitrary rotation of any qubit, using delayed laser pulses through nonadiabatic evolution, i.e., via transitions among the adiabatic states. We use a double-Lambda scheme and use a set of control parameters such as detuning, ratio of pulse amplitudes, time-separation of two pulses for realizing different rotations of the qubit. W

The highest information rate at which quantum error-correction schemes work reliably on a channel, which is called the quantum capacity, is proven to be lower bounded by the limit of the quantity termed coherent information maximized over the set of input density operators which are proportional to the projections onto the code spaces of symplectic stabilize

We present a ``coarse molecular dynamics'' approach and apply it to studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of a peptide fragment dissolved in water. Short bursts of appropriately initialized simulations are used to infer the deterministic and stochastic components of the peptide motion parametrized by an appropriate set of coarse variables.

Chiral molecules are characterized by a specific optical rotation angle. An experimental method was presented to dissect the temperature dependence of the optical rotation angle with the molecular chirality of D-alanine, L-alanine and DL-alanine crystals.

Transitions among excited nucleons are studied within a non-relativistic quark model with a deformed harmonic oscillator potential. The transition amplitudes are factorized into the $l$-th moment and a geometrical factor. This fact leads to an analogous result to the ``Alaga-rule'' for baryons.

We show that unlike the bright solitons, the parametrically driven kinks are immune from instabilities for all dampings and forcing amplitudes; they can also form stable bound states. In the undamped case, the two types of stable kinks and their complexes can travel with nonzero velocities.

Spinors have played an essential but enigmatic role in modern physics since their discovery. Now that quantum-gravitational theories have started to become available, the inclusion of a description of spin in the development is natural and may bring about a profound understanding of the mathematical structure of fundamental physics. A program to attempt this

Szabo's models of acoustic attenuation (Szabo 1994a) comply well with the empirical frequency power law involving non-integer and odd integer exponent coefficients while guaranteering causality, but nevertheless encounter the troublesome issues of hyper-singular improper integral and obscurity in implementing initial conditions. The purpose of this paper

W. Chen, S. Holm

The frequency-dependent attenuation typically obeys an empirical power law with an exponent ranging from 0 to 2. The standard time-domain partial differential equation models can describe merely two extreme cases of frequency independent and frequency-squared dependent attenuations. The otherwise non-zeor and non-square frequency dependency occuring in many

We show that in characteristic 2, the Steinberg representation of the symplectic group Sp(2n,q), q a power of an odd prime p, has two irreducible constituents lying just above the socle that are isomorphic to the two Weil modules of degree (q^n-1)/2.

In many everyday categories (sets, spaces, modules, ...) objects can be both added and multiplied. The arithmetic of such objects is a challenge because there is usually no subtraction. We prove a family of cases of the following principle: if an arithmetic statement about the objects can be proved by pretending that they are complex numbers, then there also

An optimum solution free from degeneration is found to the system of linear algebraic equations with empirical coefficients and right-hand sides. The quadratic risk of estimators of the unknown solution vector is minimized over a class of linear systems with given square norm of the coefficient matrix and length of the right-hand side vector.

In this paper parent substances with molecules which can be divided into a skeleton and six univalent substituents, and that have the properties mentioned in the title, are considered. Two instances are the molecules of benzene and cyclopropane. The Lunn-Senior's symmetry groups of substitution isomerism of these compounds are described and upper bounds

Let $G$ be a graph. For a given positive integer $d$, let $f_G(d)$ denote the largest integer $t$ such that in every coloring of the edges of $G$ with two colors there is a monochromatic subgraph with minimum degree at least $d$ and order at least $t$. For $n > k > d$ let $f(n,k,d)$ denote the minimum of $f_G(d)$ where $G$ ranges over all graphs with $n$ ver

We give a review of the systematic construction of hierarchies of soliton flows and integrable elliptic equations associated to a complex semi-simple Lie algebra and finite order automorphisms. For example, the non-linear Schrödinger equation, the n-wave equation, and the sigma-model are soliton flows; and the equation for harmonic maps from the plane to a c

We describe a method for computing the test ideal for these diagonal hypersurface rings. This method involves using a characterization of test ideals in Gorenstein rings as well as developing a way to compute tight closures of c

By the appropriate use of the Fock-Schwinger gauge properties, we derive the closed integral form of the `point-split' non-local background gauge connection originally expressed as a finite sum. This is achieved in the limit when the finite sum becomes infinite. With this closed integral form of the connection, we obtain the same exact results in the cal

Correlation functions of chiral primary operators and their superconformal descendants in the N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory are studied in detail in a one-instanton background and at large N. Whereas earlier calculations were restricted to correlation functions that are saturated by the 16 exact superconformal fermionic moduli, here the effect o

We consider the quasi-de Sitter geometry of the inflationary universe. We calculate the energy flux of the slowly rolling background scalar field through the quasi-de Sitter apparent horizon and set it equal to the change of the entropy (1/4 of the area) multiplied by the temperature, dE=TdS. Remarkably, this thermodynamic law reproduces the Friedmann equati

The effective string action of the color-electric flux tube in the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory is studied by performing a path-integral analysis by taking into account the finite thickness of the flux tube. A modified Yukawa interaction appears as a boundary contribution and is reduced into the ordinary Yukawa interaction in the London Limit.

We discuss the Casimir scaling hypothesis on the nonperturbative force in terms of the dual superconducting picture of the QCD vacuum by calculating the string tensions of flux tubes associated with static charges in various SU(3) representations in the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory.

The structure of the Abelian-projected (AP) flux tube in SU(2) gauge theory in the maximally Abelian gauge is studied by applying the Hodge decomposition to the Abelian Wilson loop. It is shown that the profile of the AP flux tube has the same structure as the classical flux tube solution in the dual Abelian Higgs model, which is composed of a Coulombic and

Heavy flavours production in e-p DIS is studied at intermediate values of the transferred four-momentum square, under the assumption of boson-gluon-fusion mechanism dominance (no intrinsic heavy flavours contributions). In this framework different expressions for the splitting functions in the gluon density evolution equation, with respect to the standard (D

In this talk I discuss the low temperature relations for the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD with two and three quarks. It is shown that the temperature derivatives of the anomalous and normal (quark massive term) contributions to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD are equal to each other in the low temperature region. Leading correcti

We study, at the one loop level, the dominant contributions from a single universal extra dimension to the process (Z\to b\bar{b}). By resorting to the gaugeless limit of the theory we explain why the result is expected to display a strong dependence on the mass of the top-quark, not identified in the early literature. A detailed calculation corroborates thi

We study the one-loop renormalization the standard model with anomalous Higgs couplings ($O(p^2)$) by using the background field method, and provide the whole divergence structure at one loop level. The one-loop divergence structure indicates that, under the quantum corrections, only after taking into account the mass terms of Z bosons ($O(p^2)$) and the who

Supersymmetric particles can be produced copiously at future colliders. From the high-precision data taken at e+e- linear colliders, TESLA in particular, and combined with results from LHC, and CLIC later, the low-energy parameters of the supersymmetric model can be determined. Evolving the parameters from the low-energy scale to the high-scale by means of r

Selected topics in neutrino astrophysics are reviewed. These include the production of low energy neutrino flux from cores of collapsing stars and the expected high energy neutrino flux from some other astrophysical sites such as the galactic plane as well as the center of some distant galaxies. The expected changes in these neutrino fluxes because of neutri

Final state radiation (FSR) in pion--pair production cannot be calculated reliably because of the composite structure of the pions. However, FSR corrections have to be taken into account for a precise evaluation of the hadronic contribution to g-2 of the muon. The role of FSR in both energy scan and radiative return experiments is discussed. It is shown how

We consider the most general vacuum cylindrical spacetimes, which are defined by two global, spacelike, commuting, non-hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector fields. The cylindrical waves in such spacetimes contain both + and $\times$ polarizations, and are thus said to be unpolarized. We show that there are no trapped cylinders in the spacetime, and present

We consider the dynamics of timelike spherical thin matter shells in vacuum. A general formalism for thin shells matching two arbitrary spherical spacetimes is derived, and subsequently specialized to the vacuum case. We first examine the relative motion of two dust shells by focusing on the dynamics of the exterior shell, whereby the problem is reduced to t

Using media with extremely low group velocities one can create an optical analog of a curved space-time. Leonhardt and Piwnicki have proposed that a vortex flow will act as an optical black hole. We show that although the Leonhardt - Piwnicki flow has an orbit of no return and an infinite red-shift surface, it is not a true black hole since it lacks a null h

The dynamics of magnetic vortices in the mixed state of d-wave superconductors is affected by interaction with quasiparticles near the gap nodes. We study this effect by computing the overlap of the ground state wave functions of the nodal quasiparticles in a two-dimensional d-wave superconductor as the ground state changes in response to the motion of the v

We study numerically and theoretically (on a heuristic level) the time evolution of a gas confined to a cube of size $L^3$ divided into two parts by a piston with mass $M_L \sim L^2$ which can only move in the $x$-direction. Starting with a uniform ``double-peaked'' (non Maxwellian) distribution of the gas and a stationary piston, we find that (a) af

We continue the study of the time evolution of a system consisting of a piston in a cubical container of large size $L$ filled with an ideal gas. The piston has mass $M\sim L^2$ and undergoes elastic collisions with $N\sim L^3$ gas particles of mass $m$. In a previous paper, Lebowitz, Piasecki and Sinai considered a scaling regime, with time and space scaled

Magnetoresistance in long correlated nanowires of degenerate semiconductor InSb in asbestos matrix (wire diameter of around 5 nm, length 0.1 - 1 mm) is studied over temperature range 2.3 - 300 K. At zero magnetic field the electric conduction $G$ and the current-voltage characteristics of such wires obey the power laws $G\propto T^α$, $I\propto V^β$, expecte

Bulk and thin film specimens of AgB2 were prepared. The bulk pellets were obtained from the powders of the constituents and the films were produced by cosputtering and sequential sputtering. The specimens were annealed and subjected for X-ray and Auger analysis. Preliminary results seems to indicate that AgB2 is an instable phase.

It is shown that for solvable fermionic and bosonic lattice systems, the reduced density matrices can be determined from the properties of the correlation functions. This provides the simplest way to these quantities which are used in the density-matrix renormalization group method.

We present magnetoresistance (MR) measurements performed on quench condensed granular Ni thin films which are on the verge of electric continuity. In these systems the electric conductivity is believed to be governed by the resistance between a very small number of grains. The films exihibit sharp resistance jumps as a function of magnetic field. We interpre

A strategy for finding transition paths connecting two stable basins is presented. The starting point is the Hamilton principle of stationary action; we show how it can be transformed into a minimum principle through the addition of suitable constraints like energy conservation. Methods for improving the quality of the paths are presented: for example, the M

Within a quasiparticle framework, we reconsider the issue of computing the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature ($T_c$) in a weakly non-ideal Bose gas. The main result of this and previous investigations is that $T_c$ increases with the scattering length $a$, with the leading dependence being either linear or log-linear in $a$. The calculation of $T_c$ red

We study the formation and evolution of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos. We find analytical, fully cosmological similarity solutions taking account of the collisional interaction of SIDM particles. This interaction results in a thermal conductivity that heats the halo core and flattens its density profile. These similarity solutions are relevant to

The idea that the universe has zero total energy when one includes the contribution from the gravitational field is reconsidered. A Hamiltonian is proposed as an energy for the exact equations of FRW cosmology: it is then shown that this energy is constant. Thus open and critically open FRW universes have the energy of their asymptotic state of infinite dilu

We present the results of a 6.4 square degrees imaging survey of the Pleiades cluster in the I and Z-bands. The survey extends up to 3 degrees from the cluster center and is 90% complete down to I~22. It covers a mass range from 0.03 Msun to 0.48 Msun and yields 40 brown dwarf candidates (BDCs) of which 29 are new. The spatial distribution of BDCs is fitted

Low cooling plasmas associated with large kinetic energies are likely to be the origin of the kpc-extended and well collimated extra-galactic jets. It is proposed that jets are launched from a layer, governed by a highly diffusive, super-Keplerian rotating and thermally dominated by virial-hot and magnetized ion-plasma. The launching layer is located between

We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range $-22.5<M_{b_{\rm J}}<-15$, and is well-fitted by a Schechter function with ${M_{b_{\rm J}}}^{*}=-20.07\pm0.07$ and $α=-1.28\pm0.03$ ($H_0$=100 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, $Ω_M$=0.3, $Ω_Λ$=0.7).

Taking as starting point a Lorentz and CPT non-invariant Chern-Simons-like model defined in 1+3 dimensions, we proceed realizing its dimensional reduction to D=1+2. One then obtains a new planar model, composed by the Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) sector, a Klein-Gordon massless scalar field, and a coupling term that mixes the gauge field to the external vector

Experimental result regarding the maximum limit of the radius of the electron \sim 10^{-16} cm and a few of the theoretical works suggest that the gravitational mass which is a priori a positive quantity in Newtonian mechanics may become negative in general theory of relativity.

In a recent paper [1] a new generalization of the Killing motion, the {\it gauged motion}, has been introduced for stationary spacetimes where it was shown that the physical symmetries of such spacetimes are well described through this new symmetry.

We give an overview about finiteness properties of soluble S-arithmetic groups. Both, the number field case and the function field case are covered.

Boundary conditions play an important role in the ADHMN construction of BPS monopole solutions.

The behavior of Fermi systems which approach the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) from the disordered phase is considered. We show that the quasiparticle effective mass $M^*$ diverges as $M^*\propto 1/|x-x_{FC}|$ where $x$ is the system density and $x_{FC}$ is the critical point at which FCQPT occurs. Such a behavior is of general form a

This note contains a new proof of a theorem of Gang Xiao saying that the bicanonical map of a surface S of general type is generically finite if and only if the second plurigenus of S is strictly larger than 2. Such properties are also studied for adjoint linear systems |K_S+L|, where L is any divisor with at least 2 linearly independent sections.

The spherically symmetric stationary transonic (Bondi) flow is considered a classic example of an accretion flow. This flow, however, is along a separatrix, which is usually not physically realizable. We demonstrate, using a pedagogical example, that it is the dynamics which selects the transonic flow.

The <V/Vmax> of the cosmological X-ray flashes detected by Wide Field Cameras on BeppoSAX is calculted theoretically in a simple jet model. The total emission energy from the jet is assumed to be constant. We find that if the jet opening half-angle is smaller than 0.03 radian, the theoretical <V/Vmax> is less than ~0.4, which is consistent with the recently

A noise-tolerant data communications fabric has been developed to meet the real-time data acquisition and control requirements of fast feedback loops, machine protection systems, pulse-to-pulse sequencing, and machine-experiment communications at next-generation pulsed accelerators such as the Next Linear Collider (&#34;NLC&#34;). The fabric is constructed f

A finite rank separable approximation for the quasiparticle RPA with Skyrme interactions is applied to study the low lying quadrupole and octupole states in some S isotopes and giant resonances in some spherical nuclei. It is shown that characteristics calculated within the suggested approach are in a good agreement with available experimental data.

The model for Orr--Sommerfeld equation with quadratic profile on the finite interval is considered. The behavior of the spectrum of this problem is completely investigated for large Reynolds numbers. The limit curves are found to which the eigenvalues concentrate and the counting eigenvalue functions along these curves are obtained.

We prove a Liouville theorem for the plurisubharmonic functions on complete Kaelher manifolds. As the applications, we prove a splitting theorem for complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative biscetional curvature in terms of the linear growth harmonic functions and a optomal gap theorem for such manifolds.
