CHEVALLEY COHOMOLOGY FOR KONTSEVICH'S GRAPHS
2005
We introduce the Chevalley cohomology for the graded Lie algebra of polyvector fields on $R^d$. This cohomology occurs naturally in the problem of construction and classification of fomalities on the sapce $ R^d$. Considering only graphs formalities, we define the Chevalley cohomology directly on spaces of graphs. We obtain some simple expressions for the Chevalley coboundary operator and we give examples and applications.
SPECTRAL INVARIANCE FOR CERTAIN ALGEBRAS OF PSEUDODIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS
2001
We construct algebras of pseudodifferential operators on a continuous family groupoid G that are closed under holomorphic functional calculus, contain the algebra of all pseudodifferential operators of order 0 on G as a dense subalgebra, and reflect the smooth structure of the groupoid G, when G is smooth. As an application, we get a better understanding on the structure of inverses of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on classes of non-compact manifolds. For the construction of these algebras closed under holomorphic functional calculus, we develop three methods: one using two-sided semi-ideals, one using commutators, and one based on Schwartz spaces on the groupoid.
Cohomology and associated deformations for not necessarily co-associative bialgebras
1992
In this Letter, a cohomology and an associated theory of deformations for (not necessarily co-associative) bialgebras are studied. The cohomology was introduced in a previous paper (Lett. Math. Phys.25, 75–84 (1992)). This theory has several advantages, especially in calculating cohomology spaces and in its adaptability to deformations of quasi-co-associative (qca) bialgebras and even quasi-triangular qca bialgebras.
Contractions yielding new supersymmetric extensions of the poincaré algebra
1991
Two new Poincare superalgebras are analysed. They are obtained by the Wigner-Inonu contraction from two real forms of the superalgebra OSp(2;4;C) - one describing the N = 2 anti-de-Sitter superalgebra with a non-compact internal symmetry SO(1, 1) and the other corresponding to the de-Sitter superalgebra with internal symmetry SO(2). Both are 19-dimensional self-conjugate extensions of the Konopel'chenko superalgebra. They contain 10 Poincare generators and one generator of internal symmetry in addition to 8 odd generators half of which, however, do not commute with translations.
Construction of a fundamental set of solutions of an arbitrary homogeneous linear difference equation
2002
Abstract The detailed construction of a prefixed fundamental set of solutions of a linear homogeneous difference equation of any order with arbitrarily variable coefficients is reported. The usefulness of the resulting resolutive formula is illustrated by simple applications to the Hermite polynomials and to the Fibonacci sequence.
Tunnel effect and symmetries for Kramers–Fokker–Planck type operators
2011
AbstractWe study operators of Kramers–Fokker–Planck type in the semiclassical limit, assuming that the exponent of the associated Maxwellian is a Morse function with a finite number n0 of local minima. Under suitable additional assumptions, we show that the first n0 eigenvalues are real and exponentially small, and establish the complete semiclassical asymptotics for these eigenvalues.
Approximate solution of the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation
2002
The aim of this paper is to present a thorough investigation of approximate techniques for estimating the stationary and non-stationary probability density function (PDF) of the response of nonlinear systems subjected to (additive and/or multiplicative) Gaussian white noise excitations. Attention is focused on the general scheme of weighted residuals for the approximate solution of the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation. It is shown that the main drawbacks of closure schemes, such as negative values of the PDF in some regions, may be overcome by rewriting the FPK equation in terms of log-probability density function (log-PDF). The criteria for selecting the set of weighting functions i…
Extending Quantum Links: Modules for Fiber‐ and Memory‐Based Quantum Repeaters
2020
We analyze elementary building blocks for quantum repeaters based on fiber channels and memory stations. Implementations are considered for three different physical platforms, for which suitable components are available: quantum dots, trapped atoms and ions, and color centers in diamond. We evaluate and compare the performances of basic quantum repeater links for these platforms both for present-day, state-of-the-art experimental parameters as well as for parameters that could in principle be reached in the future. The ultimate goal is to experimentally explore regimes at intermediate distances, up to a few 100 km, in which the repeater-assisted secret key transmission rates exceed the maxi…
The kinetics of F-center aggregation under irradiation: many-particle effects in ionic solids
1994
The accumulation kinetics of primary Frenkel defects created in solids under permanent irradiation is calculated using the microscopic formalism of many-particle densities. It is based on the Kirkwood superposition approximation for three-particle densities as described in our previous paper p. N. Kuzovkov and E. A. Kotomin, Physica Scripta 47, 585 (1993)l. This formalism is generalized in this paper by incorporating the elastic attraction between similar defects (called in ionic solids F-centers) which causes their efficient aggregation. It is shown that the aggregation process starts only if the dose rate and elastic attraction energy exceed certain critical values; it also happpens in th…
Single-energy partial wave analysis for π0 photoproduction on the proton with fixed- t analyticity imposed
2019
High-precision data of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}p$ reaction from its threshold up to $W=1.9\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GeV}$ have been used in order to perform a single-energy partial-wave analysis with minimal model dependence. Continuity in energy was achieved by imposing constraints from fixed-$t$ analyticity in an iterative procedure. Reaction models were only used as starting point in the very first iteration. We demonstrate that, with this procedure, partial-wave amplitudes can be obtained which show only a minimal dependence on the initial model assumptions.
