Classical anomalies of supersymmetric extended objects
1991
Abstract The hamiltonian form of the action for a p-extended supersymmetric object is presented, and used to deduce both the algebra generated by the constraints, in agreement with previous results for p=1,2, and the algebra of the supersymmetry charges. The “anomalous” contributions in each algebra (for given p) are shown to be related, and the origin of their different properties is exhibited. In particular, it is shown why only in the charge algebra are the “anomalous” contributions always topological and the commutators of the translations always zero.
Rotational-vibrational relative equilibria and the structure of quantum energy spectrum of the tetrahedral molecule P4
2001
We find relative equilibria (RE) of the rotating and vibrating tetrahedral molecule P4 and study the correspondence of these RE's to the extremal quantum states in the vibration-rotation multiplet and to the extrema of the semi-quantum rotational energy surfaces obtained for a number of excited vibrational states. To compute the energy of RE's we normalize the full rotation-vibration Hamiltonian H of P4 in the approximation of nonresonant modes ν E 2 and ν F_2 3 and find the stationary points of the resulting normal form (known as reduced effective Hamiltonian H eff ) which is defined on the reduced phase space CP 2 × CP 1 × S 2 . Most of these points are fixed points of the symmetry group …
Newtonian and relativistic location systems
2008
The theory of location systems involves the geometric and physical description of the protocols allowing the realization of coordinate systems. In this communication, the incidence of the space-time causal structure (Newtonian or relativistic) on the construction of location systems is remarked. Specifically, we focus our attention: (i) on the construction of Newtonian emission coordinates that are contrasted with those associated with relativistic positioning systems, and (ii) on the role played by non-absolute synchronizations (like the one provided by the local Solar time) in the comprehension of Newtonian and relativistic location systems.
Group Foundations of Quantum and Classical Dynamics : Towards a Globalization and Classification of Some of Their Structures
1987
This paper is devoted to a constructiveand critical analysis of the structure of certain dynamical systems from a group manifold point of view recently developed. This approach is especially suitable for discussing the structure of the quantum theory, the classical limit, the Hamilton-Jacobi theory and other problems such as the definition and globalization of the Poincare-Cartan form which appears in the variational approach to higher order dynamical systems. At the same time, i t opens a way for the classification of all hamiltonian and lagrangian systems associated with suitably defined dynamical groups. Both classical and quantum dynamics are discussed, and examples of all the different…
Spin-lattice relaxation of individual solid-state spins
2018
Understanding the effect of vibrations on the relaxation process of individual spins is crucial for implementing nanosystems for quantum information and quantum metrology applications. In this work, we present a theoretical microscopic model to describe the spin-lattice relaxation of individual electronic spins associated to negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, although our results can be extended to other spin-boson systems. Starting from a general spin-lattice interaction Hamiltonian, we provide a detailed description and solution of the quantum master equation of an electronic spin-one system coupled to a phononic bath in thermal equilibrium. Special attention is given…
Anomalous thermalization of nonlinear wave systems
2010
We report theoretically and experimentally in an optical system a process of anomalous thermalization of one-dimensional nonlinear Hamiltonian waves. It is characterized by an irreversible evolution of the waves towards a specific equilibrium state of a fundamental different nature than the expected thermodynamic equilibrium state. A kinetic approach of the problem reveals that this phenomenon is due to the existence of a local invariant in frequency space. A novel family of equilibrium distributions is discovered, which is found in quantitative agreement with the numerical simulations.
Notes on the Electroelastic Interaction in Joint Hamiltonian and Stochastic Treatment of Polarization Response
2008
Conventional Landau theory for ferroelectric phase instability is extended by entities accounting for the violation of thermodynamic equilibrium and the impact of thermal fluctuations. The physical content concerns Ginzburg-Landau type model Hamiltonians assigned to the mean field interaction of macroscopically small and microscopically large lattice cells affected by thermal fluctuations. A special topic derived in a systematic way is long range electroelastic interaction formally given by selfconsistent solution of the polarization and strain fields. Test solution for inhomogeneous strain in a slab is presented within the framework of lattice cell picture.
Microscopic description of dissipative dynamics of a level-crossing transition
2011
We analyze the effect of a dissipative bosonic environment on the Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) level crossing model by using a microscopic approach to derive the relevant master equation. For an environment at zero temperature and weak dissipation our microscopic approach confirms the independence of the survival probability on the decay rate that has been predicted earlier by the simple phenomenological LZSM model. For strong decay the microscopic approach predicts a notable increase of the survival probability, which signals dynamical decoupling of the initial state. Unlike the phenomenological model our approach makes it possible to study the dependence of the system dynamics…
Electric field controllable magnetic coupling of localized spins mediated by itinerant electrons: a toy model
2017
In this paper, we propose a toy model to describe the magnetic coupling between the localized spins mediated by the itinerant electron in partially delocalized mixed-valence (MV) systems. This minimal model takes into account the key interactions that are common for all such systems, namely, electron transfer in the valence-delocalized moiety and magnetic exchange between the localized spins and the delocalized electrons. The proposed descriptive model is exactly solvable which allows us to qualitatively and quantitatively discuss the main features of the whole class of partially delocalized MV systems. In the case of relatively strong exchange coupling, the combined action of these two int…
Simultaneous Determination of Force Constants and Dipole Moment Derivatives of Methane.
1998
The expressions of the effective Hamiltonian and dipole moment spectroscopic parameters in the tetrahedral formalism are used simultaneously to fit the force field and dipole moment derivatives of the methane molecule. Data, the so-called "observed parameters," are the values of the spectroscopic parameters determined from the frequencies and line strengths analyses. The ambiguities of most parameters (in the polyad scheme) are treated consistently with the Hamiltonian reduction chosen in the frequency analyses. As an illustration, the method is applied to the tetrahedral XY4 isotopic species only. The quadratic and cubic force field constants have been determined in addition to the linear …
