Lacunary Bifurcation of Multiple Solutions of Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems

1991

In order to describe the type of nonlinear eigenvalue problems we are going to discuss, consider a densely defined closed linear operator T in a real Hilbert space H and let H1 be the Hilbert space which consists of the domain of T together with the graph norm. Also, let H 1 * be the dual space of H1 and denote the dual operator corresponding to T: H1 → H by T’:H → H 1 * . Since H1 is dense in H, we may view H as a subspace of H1, and then the scalar product (·,·) on H and the dual pairing on H1 × H 1 * coincide on H1 × H.

Modeling of photonic crystal fibers from the scalar wave equation with a purely transverse linearly polarized vector potential

2011

In this work, we propose a new technique for modeling light propagation in photonic crystal fibers where the electric field is evaluated from a purely transverse linearly polarized vector potential. The vector potential in a nonuniform dielectric obeys a wave equation coupled to the scalar potential, but it can be reduced to a scalar wave equation when the coupling term is ignored to the lowest order approximation. We show that this method gives reliable results for photonic crystal fibers when the scalar analysis is improved by a perturbational correction.

Symmetries and Effective Vertices

2015

When facing the computation of more realistic processes, the calculations can become lengthy very fast as the number of Feynman diagrams grows. Before starting the calculation process the problem should be reduced to its minimal form. Here we will present an example of how to reduce the number of calculated diagrams for a given process (which in this case will be a Higgs-like scalar decay to two photons through a charged scalar loop) using gauge symmetry.

On the observability of Bell's inequality violation in the two-atoms optical Stern-Gerlach model

2005

Using the optical Stern-Gerlach model, we have recently shown that the non-local correlations between the internal variables of two atoms that successively interact with the field of an ideal cavity in proximity of a nodal region are affected by the atomic translational dynamics. As a consequence, there can be some difficulties in observing violation of the Bell's inequality for the atomic internal variables. These difficulties persist even if the atoms travel an antinodal region, except when the spatial wave packets are exactly centered in an antinodal point.

Particle creation by wormholes: A 1 + 1 model

2020

The propagation of a free massless scalar field in a [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space modeling, a wormhole is considered. The wormhole model consists on two timelike trajectories, which represent the entrance and the exit of the wormhole, connected via some transfer function that specifies how incoming modes that reach the entrance are transferred to the exit. We find that particles and energy fluxes are generically produced except for transfer functions that represent global conformal transformations. We consider several examples involving exit trajectories which are asymptotically inertial, asymptotically null, and also involving a faster-than-light motion to illustrate th…

LocalD=4field theory onκ-deformed Minkowski space

2000

We describe the local $D=4$ field theory on $\ensuremath{\kappa}$-deformed Minkowski space as a nonlocal relativistic field theory on standard Minkowski space-time. For simplicity the case of a $\ensuremath{\kappa}$-deformed scalar field $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ with the interaction $\ensuremath{\lambda}{\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ is considered, and the $\ensuremath{\kappa}$-deformed interaction vertex is described. It appears that the fundamental mass parameter $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ plays the role of regularizing the imaginary Pauli-Villars mass in the $\ensuremath{\kappa}$-deformed propagator.

Nonquenched Isoscalar Spin-M1Excitations insd-Shell Nuclei

2015

Differential cross sections of isoscalar and isovector spin-M1 (0(+)→1(+)) transitions are measured using high-energy-resolution proton inelastic scattering at E(p)=295  MeV on (24)Mg, (28)Si, (32)S, and (36)Ar at 0°-14°. The squared spin-M1 nuclear transition matrix elements are deduced from the measured differential cross sections by applying empirically determined unit cross sections based on the assumption of isospin symmetry. The ratios of the squared nuclear matrix elements accumulated up to E(x)=16  MeV compared to a shell-model prediction are 1.01(9) for isoscalar and 0.61(6) for isovector spin-M1 transitions, respectively. Thus, no quenching is observed for isoscalar spin-M1 transi…

Measurements ofB→{π,η,η′}lνlBranching Fractions and Determination of|Vub|with Semileptonically TaggedBMesons

2008

We report measurements of branching fractions for the decays B-->Plnu_{l}, where P are the pseudoscalar charmless mesons pi;{-}, pi;{0}, eta and eta;{'}, based on 348 fb;{-1} of data collected with the BABAR detector, using B0 and B+ mesons found in the recoil of a second B meson decaying as B-->D;{(*)}lnu_{l}. Assuming isospin symmetry, we combine pionic branching fractions to obtain B(B;{0}-->pi;{-}l;{+}nu_{l})=(1.54+/-0.17_{(stat)}+/-0.09_{(syst)})x10;{-4}; we find 3.2sigma evidence of the decay B;{+}-->etal;{+}nu_{l} and measure its branching fraction to be (0.64+/-0.20_{(stat)}+/-0.03_{(syst)})x10;{-4}, and determine B(B;{+}-->eta;{'}l;{+}nu_{l})<0.47x10;{-4} to 90% confidence level.

Masses and decay constants of D(s)* and B(s)* mesons with Nf=2+1+1 twisted mass fermions

2017

We present a lattice calculation of the masses and decay constants of ${D}_{(s)}^{*}$ and ${B}_{(s)}^{*}$ mesons using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with ${N}_{f}=2+1+1$ dynamical quarks at three values of the lattice spacing $a\ensuremath{\sim}(0.06\ensuremath{-}0.09)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{fm}$. Pion masses are simulated in the range ${M}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}\ensuremath{\simeq}(210--450)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$, while the strange and charm sea-quark masses are close to their physical values. We compute the ratios of vector to pseudoscalar masses and decay constants for various values of the heavy-quark mass ${m}_{h}$ in the range $0…

Filter performance parameters for vectorial high-aperture wave fields.

2008

Performance parameters have been presented that can be used to compare the focusing performance of different optical systems, including the effect of pupil filters. These were originally given for the paraxial case and recently extended to the high-aperture scalar regime. We generalize these parameters to the full vectorial case for an aplanatic optical system illuminated by a plane-polarized wave. The behavior of different optical systems is compared.
