Quantum and Classical Statistical Mechanics of the Non-Linear Schrödinger, Sinh-Gordon and Sine-Gordon Equations
1985
We are going to describe our work on the quantum and classical statistical mechanics of some exactly integrable non-linear one dimensional systems. The simplest is the non-linear Schrodinger equation (NLS) $$i{\psi _t} = - {\psi _{XX}} + 2c{\psi ^ + }\psi \psi $$ (1) where c, the coupling constant, is positive. The others are the sine- and sinh-Gordon equations (sG and shG) $${\phi _{xx}} - {\phi _{tt}} = {m^2}\sin \phi $$ (1.2) $${\phi _{xx}} - {\phi _{tt}} = {m^2}\sinh \phi $$ (1.3)
Effective hamiltonian approach to the non-Markovian dynamics in a spin-bath
2010
We investigate the dynamics of a central spin that is coupled to a bath of spins through a non-uniform distribution of coupling constants. Simple analytical arguments based on master equation techniques as well as numerical simulations of the full von Neumann equation of the total system show that the short-time damping and decoherence behaviour of the central spin can be modelled accurately through an effective Hamiltonian involving a single effective coupling constant. The reduced short-time dynamics of the central spin is thus reproduced by an analytically solvable effective Hamiltonian model.
Role of Disorder on the Dynamics of a Nonlinear Model for DNA Thermal Denaturation
1992
The dynamics of thermal denaturation of DNA is a good example in which nonlinearity coexits with disorder. The amplitude of the motions is so high that bonds break and the base sequence is inhomogeneous since it contains the genetic code. Using a simple nonlinear model, we study the role of local inhomogeneities or of extended disorder on the dynamics of the localized excitations and on the denaturation rate by numerical simulations at constrained temperature. Approximate analytical results are obtained for the trapping of the breatherlike excitations by isolated defects and the statistical mechanics of the disordered molecule.
Energy landscape properties studied using symbolic sequences
2006
We investigate a classical lattice system with $N$ particles. The potential energy $V$ of the scalar displacements is chosen as a $\phi ^4$ on-site potential plus interactions. Its stationary points are solutions of a coupled set of nonlinear equations. Starting with Aubry's anti-continuum limit it is easy to establish a one-to-one correspondence between the stationary points of $V$ and symbolic sequences $\bm{\sigma} = (\sigma_1,...,\sigma_N)$ with $\sigma_n=+,0,-$. We prove that this correspondence remains valid for interactions with a coupling constant $\epsilon$ below a critical value $\epsilon_c$ and that it allows the use of a ''thermodynamic'' formalism to calculate statistical prope…
Numerical Simulation of Thermal Effects in Electric Circuits via Energy Transport equations
2006
In this work we present the coupling of stationary energy-transport (ET) equations with Modified Nodal Analysis (MNA)-equations to model electric circuits containing semiconductor devices. The one-dimensional ET-equations are discretised in space by an exponential fitting mixed hybrid finite element approach to ensure current continuity and positivity of charge carriers. The discretised ET-equations are coupled to MNA-equations and the resulting system is solved with backwarddifference formulas. Numerical examples are shown for a test circuit containing a pn-diode, and the results are compared to those achieved using the drift-diffusion model to describe the semiconductor devices in the cir…
HIGH-PRECISION MONTE CARLO DETERMINATION OF α/ν IN THE 3D CLASSICAL HEISENBERG MODEL
1994
To study the role of topological defects in the three-dimensional classical Heisenberg model we have simulated this model on simple cubic lattices of size up to 803, using the single-cluster Monte Carlo update. Analysing the specific-heat data of these simulations, we obtain a very accurate estimate for the ratio of the specific-heat exponent with the correlation-length exponent, α/ν, from a usual finite-size scaling analysis at the critical coupling Kc. Moreover, by fitting the energy at Kc, we reduce the error estimates by another factor of two, and get a value of α/ν, which is comparable in accuracy to best field theoretic estimates.
Towards gauge coupling unification in left-right symmetric SU(3)c×SU(3)L×SU(3)R×U(1)X theories
2017
We consider the possibility of gauge coupling unification within the simplest realizations of the $\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{c}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{L}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{R}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1{)}_{\mathrm{X}}$ gauge theory. We present a first exploration of the renormalization group equations governing the ``bottom-up'' evolution of the gauge couplings in a generic model with free normalization for the generators. Interestingly, we find that for a $\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{c}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(3{)}_{\mathrm{L}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(…
Boundary controlled irreversible port-Hamiltonian systems
2021
Abstract Boundary controlled irreversible port-Hamiltonian systems (BC-IPHS) defined on a 1-dimensional spatial domain are defined by extending the formulation of reversible BC-PHS to irreversible thermodynamic systems controlled at the boundaries of their spatial domain. The structure of BC-IPHS has clear physical interpretation, characterizing the coupling between energy storing and energy dissipating elements. By extending the definition of boundary port variables of BC-PHS to deal with the irreversible energy dissipation, a set of boundary port variables are defined such that BC-IPHS are passive with respect to a given set of conjugated inputs and outputs. As for finite dimensional IPHS…
The energy dependence of Zweig-rule-violating couplings. A dynamical calculation of ϕ → ρπ
1978
It has been argued that the violation of the Zweig rule is strongly dependent on the kinematical region, especially that it should decrease for large timeliket (asymptotic planarity). We have calculated thet-dependence of the vertex ϕρπ with two different methods, the first one using partial-wave dispersion relations and unitarity and the second one based on FESR and duality. The decrease in the timelike region is confirmed by both calculations. In the spacelike region the energy dependence of the Zweig-rule-violating coupling depends on the method of continuation to off-shell values. We only find an energy dependence if the full amplitude πρ → K $$\bar K$$ is taken into account.
Relative Transition Probability Measurements for Prominent Infrared Spectral Lines of NI
2002
Applying a high-current wall-stabilized arc operated either in helium or in argon always with some admixtures of nitrogen, relative transition probabilities for more than 100 individual spectral lines (fine structure components) have been measured. The studied lines belong mainly to the 3p–3d and 3p–4s transition arrays. Ten lines of the measured set are intersystem transitions. Our data are compared with other experimental results (for about one half of the studied set there are available), with evaluated on the basis of the LS coupling scheme, with semiempirical data, and with recent CIV3 calculations. Some of our results are compared also with experimental data for the next member of the…
