On the uniqueness of the space-time energy in General Relativity. The illuminating case of the Schwarzschild metric
2013
The case of asymptotic Minkowskian space-times is considered. A special class of asymptotic rectilinear coordinates at the spatial infinity, related to a specific system of free falling observers, is chosen. This choice is applied in particular to the Schwarzschild metric, obtaining a vanishing energy for this space-time. This result is compared with the result of some known theorems on the uniqueness of the energy of any asymptotic Minkowskian space, showing that there is no contradiction between both results, the differences becoming from the use of coordinates with different operational meanings. The suitability of Gauss coordinates when defining an {\em intrinsic} energy is considered a…
The Poisson Bracket Structure of the SL(2, R)/U(1) Gauged WZNW Model with Periodic Boundary Conditions
2000
The gauged SL(2, R)/U(1) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model is classically an integrable conformal field theory. A second-order differential equation of the Gelfand-Dikii type defines the Poisson bracket structure of the theory. For periodic boundary conditions zero modes imply non-local Poisson brackets which, nevertheless, can be represented by canonical free fields.
Parabolic equations with natural growth approximated by nonlocal equations
2017
In this paper we study several aspects related with solutions of nonlocal problems whose prototype is $$ u_t =\displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} J(x-y) \big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) \mathcal G\big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) dy \qquad \mbox{ in } \, \Omega \times (0,T)\,, $$ being $ u (x,t)=0 \mbox{ in } (\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega )\times (0,T)\,$ and $ u(x,0)=u_0 (x) \mbox{ in } \Omega$. We take, as the most important instance, $\mathcal G (s) \sim 1+ \frac{\mu}{2} \frac{s}{1+\mu^2 s^2 }$ with $\mu\in \mathbb{R}$ as well as $u_0 \in L^1 (\Omega)$, $J$ is a smooth symmetric function with compact support and $\Omega$ is either a bounded smooth subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with nonlocal Dirichlet bound…
Improved constrained scheme for the Einstein equations: An approach to the uniqueness issue
2008
Uniqueness problems in the elliptic sector of constrained formulations of Einstein equations have a dramatic effect on the physical validity of some numerical solutions, for instance when calculating the spacetime of very compact stars or nascent black holes. The fully constrained formulation (FCF) proposed by Bonazzola, Gourgoulhon, Grandcl\'ement, and Novak is one of these formulations. It contains, as a particular case, the approximation of the conformal flatness condition (CFC) which, in the last ten years, has been used in many astrophysical applications. The elliptic part of the FCF basically shares the same differential operators as the elliptic equations in CFC scheme. We present he…
Fitting N$^{3}$LO pseudopotentials through central plus tensor Landau parameters
2014
Landau parameters determined from phenomenological finite-range interactions are used to get an estimation of next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order ((NLO)-L-3) pseudo-potentials parameters. The parameter sets obtained in this way are shown to lead to consistent results concerning saturation properties. The uniqueness of this procedure is discussed, and an estimate of the error induced by the truncation at (NLO)-L-3 is given.
Pinch technique self-energies and vertices to all orders in perturbation theory
2003
The all-order construction of the pinch technique gluon self-energy and quark-gluon vertex is presented in detail within the class of linear covariant gauges. The main ingredients in our analysis are the identification of a special Green's function, which serves as a common kernel to all self-energy and vertex diagrams, and the judicious use of the Slavnov-Taylor identity it satisfies. In particular, it is shown that the ghost-Green's functions appearing in this identity capture precisely the result of the pinching action at arbitrary order. By virtue of this observation the construction of the quark-gluon vertex becomes particularly compact. It turns out that the aforementioned ghost-Green…
Spin-dipole nuclear matrix elements for double beta decays and astro-neutrinos
2014
Spin-dipole (SD) nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) M±(SD2) for unique first forbidden β±2−→0+ ground-state-to-ground-state transitions are studied by using effective microscopic two-nucleon interactions in realistic single-particle model spaces. The observed values of the NMEs Mexp±(SD2) are compared with the values of the single-quasiparticle NMEs Mqp±(SD2) without nucleon spin–isospin (στ) correlation and the QRPA NMEs MQRPA±(SD2) with the στ correlation. The observed SD matrix elements are found to be reduced by the factor k≈0.2 with respect to Mqp±(SD2) and by the factor kNM≈0.5 with respect to MQRPA±(SD2). We then infer that the SD NME is reduced considerably partly by the nucleon στ corr…
Density-potential mappings in quantum dynamics
2012
In a recent letter [Europhys. Lett. 95, 13001 (2011)] the question of whether the density of a time-dependent quantum system determines its external potential was reformulated as a fixed point problem. This idea was used to generalize the existence and uniqueness theorems underlying time-dependent density functional theory. In this work we extend this proof to allow for more general norms and provide a numerical implementation of the fixed-point iteration scheme. We focus on the one-dimensional case as it allows for a more in-depth analysis using singular Sturm-Liouville theory and at the same time provides an easy visualization of the numerical applications in space and time. We give an ex…

We prove in this note the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a nonlocal problem appearing as a model of galaxy in early stage of evolution. Some properties of solutions are also given.
Analytic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
2001
We consider the time dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on an half plane. For analytic initial data, existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved using the Abstract Cauchy-Kovalevskaya Theorem in Banach spaces. The time interval of existence is proved to be independent of the viscosity.
