Real-time binary-amplitude phase-only filters.
2008
A real-time binary-amplitude phase-only filter (BAPOF) implemented in available phase-only modulators is presented. The BAPOF has an amplitude transmission equal to one only in a region of support, while the transmission is equal to zero in the complementary region. To implement zero transmission in a phase-only modulator we propose to add a linear phase to the region of support. In this way the correlation desired is obtained off axis. Computer simulations and experimental results obtained with this technique are given.
Path Integral Formulation of Quantum Electrodynamics
2020
Let us consider a pure Abelian gauge theory given by the Lagrangian $$\displaystyle\begin{array}{rcl} \mathcal{L}_{\text{photon}}& =& -\frac{1} {4}F_{\mu \nu }F^{\mu \nu } \\ & =& -\frac{1} {4}\left (\partial _{\mu }A_{\nu } - \partial _{\nu }A_{\mu }\right )\left (\partial ^{\mu }A^{\nu } - \partial ^{\nu }A^{\mu }\right ){}\end{array}$$ (36.1) or, after integration by parts, $$\displaystyle\begin{array}{rcl} \mathcal{L}_{\text{photon}}& =& -\frac{1} {2}\left [-\left (\partial _{\mu }\partial ^{\mu }A_{\nu }\right )A^{\nu } + \left (\partial ^{\mu }\partial ^{\nu }A_{\mu }\right )A_{\nu }\right ] \\ & =& \frac{1} {2}A_{\mu }\left [g^{\mu \nu }\square - \partial ^{\mu }\partial ^{\nu }\righ…
Sharp capacity estimates for annuli in weighted $$\mathbf {R}^n$$ R n and in metric spaces
2016
We obtain estimates for the nonlinear variational capacity of annuli in weighted $$\mathbf {R}^n$$ and in metric spaces. We introduce four different (pointwise) exponent sets, show that they all play fundamental roles for capacity estimates, and also demonstrate that whether an end point of an exponent set is attained or not is important. As a consequence of our estimates we obtain, for instance, criteria for points to have zero (resp. positive) capacity. Our discussion holds in rather general metric spaces, including Carnot groups and many manifolds, but it is just as relevant on weighted $$\mathbf {R}^n$$ . Indeed, to illustrate the sharpness of our estimates, we give several examples of …
On Codimensions of Algebras with Involution
2020
Let A be an associative algebra with involution ∗ over a field F of characteristic zero. One associates to A, in a natural way, a numerical sequence \(c^{\ast }_n(A),\)n = 1, 2, …, called the sequence of ∗-codimensions of A which is the main tool for the quantitative investigation of the polynomial identities satisfied by A. In this paper we focus our attention on \(c^{\ast }_n(A),\)n = 1, 2, …, by presenting some recent results about it.
Upper bounds for the zeros of ultraspherical polynomials
1990
AbstractFor k = 1, 2, …, [n2] let xnk(λ) denote the Kth positive zero in decreasing order of the ultraspherical polynomial Pn(λ)(x). We establish upper bounds for xnk(λ). All the bounds become exact when λ = 0 and, in some cases (see case (iii) of Theorem 3.1), also when λ = 1. As a consequence of our results, we obtain for the largest zero xn1(λ)0.. We point out that our results remain useful for large values of λ. Numerical examples show that our upper bounds are quite sharp.
Superinvolutions on upper-triangular matrix algebras
2018
Let UTn(F) be the algebra of n×n upper-triangular matrices over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero. In [18], the authors described all abelian G-gradings on UTn(F) by showing that any G-grading on this algebra is an elementary grading. In this paper, we shall consider the algebra UTn(F) endowed with an elementary Z2-grading. In this way, it has a structure of superalgebra and our goal is to completely describe the superinvolutions which can be defined on it. To this end, we shall prove that the superinvolutions and the graded involutions (i.e., involutions preserving the grading) on UTn(F) are strictly related through the so-called superautomorphisms of this algebra. We …
Darboux Linearization and Isochronous Centers with a Rational First Integral
1997
Abstract In this paper we study isochronous centers of polynomial systems. It is known that a center is isochronous if and only if it is linearizable. We introduce the notion of Darboux linearizability of a center and give an effective criterion for verifying Darboux linearizability. If a center is Darboux linearizable, the method produces a linearizing change of coordinates. Most of the known polynomial isochronous centers are Darboux linearizable. Moreover, using this criterion we find a new two-parameter family of cubic isochronous centers and give the linearizing changes of coordinates for centers belonging to that family. We also determine all Hamiltonian cubic systems which are Darbou…
Vanishing Abelian integrals on zero-dimensional cycles
2011
In this paper we study conditions for the vanishing of Abelian integrals on families of zero-dimensional cycles. That is, for any rational function $f(z)$, characterize all rational functions $g(z)$ and zero-sum integers $\{n_i\}$ such that the function $t\mapsto\sum n_ig(z_i(t))$ vanishes identically. Here $z_i(t)$ are continuously depending roots of $f(z)-t$. We introduce a notion of (un)balanced cycles. Our main result is an inductive solution of the problem of vanishing of Abelian integrals when $f,g$ are polynomials on a family of zero-dimensional cycles under the assumption that the family of cycles we consider is unbalanced as well as all the cycles encountered in the inductive proce…
Singular quasisymmetric mappings in dimensions two and greater
2018
For all $n \geq 2$, we construct a metric space $(X,d)$ and a quasisymmetric mapping $f\colon [0,1]^n \rightarrow X$ with the property that $f^{-1}$ is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff $n$-measure on $X$. That is, there exists a Borel set $E \subset [0,1]^n$ with Lebesgue measure $|E|>0$ such that $f(E)$ has Hausdorff $n$-measure zero. The construction may be carried out so that $X$ has finite Hausdorff $n$-measure and $|E|$ is arbitrarily close to 1, or so that $|E| = 1$. This gives a negative answer to a question of Heinonen and Semmes.
Relative cohomology spaces for some osp($n|2$)-modules
2018
International audience; In this work, we describe the H-invariant, so(n)-relative cohomology of a natural class of osp(n|2)-modules M, for n ≠ 2. The Lie superalgebra osp(n|2) can be realized as a superalgebra of vector fields on the superline R1|n. This yields canonical actions on spaces of densities and differential operators on the superline. The above result gives the zero, first, and second cohomology spaces for these modules of densities and differential operators.
