Positive solutions for the Neumann p-Laplacian
2017
We examine parametric nonlinear Neumann problems driven by the p-Laplacian with asymptotically ( $$p-1$$ )-linear reaction term f(z, x) (as $$x\rightarrow +\infty $$ ). We determine the existence, nonexistence and minimality of positive solutions as the parameter $$\lambda >0$$ varies.
Intertwining operators for non-self-adjoint hamiltonians and bicoherent states
2016
This paper is devoted to the construction of what we will call {\em exactly solvable models}, i.e. of quantum mechanical systems described by an Hamiltonian $H$ whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be explicitly constructed out of some {\em minimal ingredients}. In particular, motivated by PT-quantum mechanics, we will not insist on any self-adjointness feature of the Hamiltonians considered in our construction. We also introduce the so-called bicoherent states, we analyze some of their properties and we show how they can be used for quantizing a system. Some examples, both in finite and in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are discussed.
Non-self-adjoint hamiltonians defined by Riesz bases
2014
We discuss some features of non-self-adjoint Hamiltonians with real discrete simple spectrum under the assumption that the eigenvectors form a Riesz basis of Hilbert space. Among other things, {we give conditions under which these Hamiltonians} can be factorized in terms of generalized lowering and raising operators.
$O^\star$-algebras and quantum dynamics: some existence results
2008
We discuss the possibility of defining an algebraic dynamics within the settings of O -algebras. Compared to our previous results on this subject, the main improvement here is that we are not assuming the existence of some Hamiltonian for the full physical system. We will show that, under suitable conditions, the dynamics can still be defined via some limiting procedure starting from a given regularized sequence. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
Sign-indefinite second order differential operators on finite metric graphs
2012
The question of self-adjoint realizations of sign-indefinite second order differential operators is discussed in terms of a model problem. Operators of the type $-\frac{d}{dx} \sgn (x) \frac{d}{dx}$ are generalized to finite, not necessarily compact, metric graphs. All self-adjoint realizations are parametrized using methods from extension theory. The spectral and scattering theory of the self-adjoint realizations are studied in detail.
Quantum moment maps and invariants for G-invariant star products
2002
We study a quantum moment map and propose an invariant for $G$-invariant star products on a $G$-transitive symplectic manifold. We start by describing a new method to construct a quantum moment map for $G$-invariant star products of Fedosov type. We use it to obtain an invariant that is invariant under $G$-equivalence. In the last section we give two simple examples of such invariants, which involve non-classical terms and provide new insights into the classification of $G$-invariant star products.
Closed star products and cyclic cohomology
1992
We define the notion of a closed star product. A (generalized) star product (deformation of the associative product of functions on a symplectic manifold W) is closed iff integration over W is a trace on the deformed algebra. We show that for these products the cyclic cohomology replaces the Hochschild cohomology in usual star products. We then define the character of a closed star product as the cohomology class (in the cyclic bicomplex) of a well-defined cocycle, and show that, in the case of pseudodifferential operators (standard ordering on the cotangent bundle to a compact Riemannian manifold), the character is defined and given by the Todd class, while in general it fails to satisfy t…
Unitary Representations of U q (𝔰𝔩}(2,ℝ)),¶the Modular Double and the Multiparticle q -Deformed¶Toda Chain
2002
The paper deals with the analytic theory of the quantum q-deformed Toda chains; the technique used combines the methods of representation theory and the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method. The key phenomenon which is under scrutiny is the role of the modular duality concept (first discovered by L. Faddeev) in the representation theory of noncompact semisimple quantum groups. Explicit formulae for the Whittaker vectors are presented in terms of the double sine functions and the wave functions of the N-particle q-deformed open Toda chain are given as a multiple integral of the Mellin–Barnes type. For the periodic chain the two dual Baxter equations are derived.
The graded Lie algebra structure of Lie superalgebra deformation theory
1989
We show how Lie superalgebra deformation theory can be treated by graded Lie algebras formalism. Rigidity and integrability theorems are obtained.
Multiplicity of Solutions to Elliptic Problems Involving the 1-Laplacian with a Critical Gradient Term
2017
Abstract In the present paper we study the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1-Laplacian and a total variation term as reaction.We prove a strong multiplicity result. Namely, we show that for any positive Radon measure concentrated in a set away from the boundary and singular with respect to a certain capacity, there exists an unbounded solution, and measures supported on disjoint sets generate different solutions.These results can be viewed as the analogue for the 1-Laplacian operator of some known multiplicity results which were first obtained by Ireneo Peral, to whom this article is dedicated, and his collaborators.
