Statistical Mechanics of the Integrable Models
1987
There is an infinity of classically integrable models. The only ones we can consider here, and these only briefly, are: the sine-Gordon (s-G) model $${\phi _{{\rm{xx}}}}{}^ - {\phi _{{\rm{tt}}}} = {{\rm{m}}^2}\sin \phi ,$$ (1.1) the sinh-Gordon (sinh-G) model $${\phi _{{\rm{xx}}}}{}^ - {\phi _{{\rm{tt}}}} = {{\rm{m}}^2}\sinh \phi ,$$ (1.2) and the repulsive and attractive non-linear Schrodinger (NLS) models $${}^ - {\rm{i}}{\phi _{\rm{t}}} = {\phi _{{\rm{xx}}}}{}^ - 2{\rm{c}}\phi {\left| \phi \right|^2}.$$ (1.3) The “attractive” NLS has real coupling constant c 0; φ is complex. In (1.1) and (1.2) m is a mass (ħ = c = 1) and φ is real. These 4 integrable models are in one space and one time …
Linear response theory in asymmetric nuclear matter for Skyrme functionals including spin-orbit and tensor terms II: Charge Exchange
2019
International audience; We present the formalism of linear response theory both at zero and finite temperature in the case of asymmetric nuclear matter excited by an isospin flip probe. The particle-hole interaction is derived from a general Skyrme functional that includes spin-orbit and tensor terms. Response functions are obtained by solving a closed algebraic system of equations. Spin strength functions are analyzed for typical values of density, momentum transfer, asymmetry, and temperature. We evaluate the role of statistical errors related to the uncertainties of the coupling constants of the Skyrme functional and thus determine the confidence interval of the resulting response functi…
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.
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…
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}(…
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…
Numerical Study of the semiclassical limit of the Davey-Stewartson II equations
2014
We present the first detailed numerical study of the semiclassical limit of the Davey–Stewartson II equations both for the focusing and the defocusing variant. We concentrate on rapidly decreasing initial data with a single hump. The formal limit of these equations for vanishing semiclassical parameter , the semiclassical equations, is numerically integrated up to the formation of a shock. The use of parallelized algorithms allows one to determine the critical time tc and the critical solution for these 2 + 1-dimensional shocks. It is shown that the solutions generically break in isolated points similarly to the case of the 1 + 1-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation, i.e., cubic…
