Book The Kohn Sham Equation for Deformed Crystals

Download or read book The Kohn Sham Equation for Deformed Crystals written by Weinan E and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solution to the Kohn-Sham equation in the density functional theory of the quantum many-body problem is studied in the context of the electronic structure of smoothly deformed macroscopic crystals. An analog of the classical Cauchy-Born rule for crystal lattices is established for the electronic structure of the deformed crystal under the following physical conditions: (1) the band structure of the undeformed crystal has a gap, i.e. the crystal is an insulator, (2) the charge density waves are stable, and (3) the macroscopic dielectric tensor is positive definite. The effective equation governing the piezoelectric effect of a material is rigorously derived. Along the way, the authors also establish a number of fundamental properties of the Kohn-Sham map.

Book The Sine Gordon Equation in the Semiclassical Limit  Dynamics of Fluxon Condensates

Download or read book The Sine Gordon Equation in the Semiclassical Limit Dynamics of Fluxon Condensates written by Robert J. Buckingham and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors study the Cauchy problem for the sine-Gordon equation in the semiclassical limit with pure-impulse initial data of sufficient strength to generate both high-frequency rotational motion near the peak of the impulse profile and also high-frequency librational motion in the tails. They show that for small times independent of the semiclassical scaling parameter, both types of motion are accurately described by explicit formulae involving elliptic functions. These formulae demonstrate consistency with predictions of Whitham's formal modulation theory in both the hyperbolic (modulationally stable) and elliptic (modulationally unstable) cases.

Book Global Regularity for the Yang Mills Equations on High Dimensional Minkowski Space

Download or read book Global Regularity for the Yang Mills Equations on High Dimensional Minkowski Space written by Joachim Krieger and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph contains a study of the global Cauchy problem for the Yang-Mills equations on $(6+1)$ and higher dimensional Minkowski space, when the initial data sets are small in the critical gauge covariant Sobolev space $\dot{H}_A^{(n-4)/{2}}$. Regularity is obtained through a certain ``microlocal geometric renormalization'' of the equations which is implemented via a family of approximate null Cronstrom gauge transformations. The argument is then reduced to controlling some degenerate elliptic equations in high index and non-isotropic $L^p$ spaces, and also proving some bilinear estimates in specially constructed square-function spaces.

Book Strange Attractors for Periodically Forced Parabolic Equations

Download or read book Strange Attractors for Periodically Forced Parabolic Equations written by Kening Lu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors prove that in systems undergoing Hopf bifurcations, the effects of periodic forcing can be amplified by the shearing in the system to create sustained chaotic behavior. Specifically, strange attractors with SRB measures are shown to exist. The analysis is carried out for infinite dimensional systems, and the results are applicable to partial differential equations. Application of the general results to a concrete equation, namely the Brusselator, is given.

Book Elliptic Partial Differential Equations with Almost Real Coefficients

Download or read book Elliptic Partial Differential Equations with Almost Real Coefficients written by Ariel Barton and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monograph the author investigates divergence-form elliptic partial differential equations in two-dimensional Lipschitz domains whose coefficient matrices have small (but possibly nonzero) imaginary parts and depend only on one of the two coordinates. He shows that for such operators, the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in $L^q$ can be solved for $q1$ small enough, and provide an endpoint result at $p=1$.

Book Kuznetsov s Trace Formula and the Hecke Eigenvalues of Maass Forms

Download or read book Kuznetsov s Trace Formula and the Hecke Eigenvalues of Maass Forms written by Andrew Knightly and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors give an adelic treatment of the Kuznetsov trace formula as a relative trace formula on $\operatorname{GL}(2)$ over $\mathbf{Q}$. The result is a variant which incorporates a Hecke eigenvalue in addition to two Fourier coefficients on the spectral side. The authors include a proof of a Weil bound for the generalized twisted Kloosterman sums which arise on the geometric side. As an application, they show that the Hecke eigenvalues of Maass forms at a fixed prime, when weighted as in the Kuznetsov formula, become equidistributed relative to the Sato-Tate measure in the limit as the level goes to infinity.

Book Weighted Bergman Spaces Induced by Rapidly Increasing Weights

Download or read book Weighted Bergman Spaces Induced by Rapidly Increasing Weights written by Jose Angel Pelaez and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to the study of the weighted Bergman space $A^p_\omega$ of the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ that is induced by a radial continuous weight $\omega$ satisfying $\lim_{r\to 1^-}\frac{\int_r^1\omega(s)\,ds}{\omega(r)(1-r)}=\infty.$ Every such $A^p_\omega$ lies between the Hardy space $H^p$ and every classical weighted Bergman space $A^p_\alpha$. Even if it is well known that $H^p$ is the limit of $A^p_\alpha$, as $\alpha\to-1$, in many respects, it is shown that $A^p_\omega$ lies ``closer'' to $H^p$ than any $A^p_\alpha$, and that several finer function-theoretic properties of $A^p_\alpha$ do not carry over to $A^p_\omega$.

Book Nonlinear Stability of Ekman Boundary Layers in Rotating Stratified Fluids

Download or read book Nonlinear Stability of Ekman Boundary Layers in Rotating Stratified Fluids written by Hajime Koba and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stationary solution of the rotating Navier-Stokes equations with a boundary condition is called an Ekman boundary layer. This book constructs stationary solutions of the rotating Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations with stratification effects in the case when the rotating axis is not necessarily perpendicular to the horizon. The author calls such stationary solutions Ekman layers. This book shows the existence of a weak solution to an Ekman perturbed system, which satisfies the strong energy inequality. Moreover, the author discusses the uniqueness of weak solutions and computes the decay rate of weak solutions with respect to time under some assumptions on the Ekman layers and the physical parameters. The author also shows that there exists a unique global-in-time strong solution of the perturbed system when the initial datum is sufficiently small. Comparing a weak solution satisfying the strong energy inequality with the strong solution implies that the weak solution is smooth with respect to time when time is sufficiently large.

Book Stochastic Flows in the Brownian Web and Net

Download or read book Stochastic Flows in the Brownian Web and Net written by Emmanuel Schertzer and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known that certain one-dimensional nearest-neighbor random walks in i.i.d. random space-time environments have diffusive scaling limits. Here, in the continuum limit, the random environment is represented by a `stochastic flow of kernels', which is a collection of random kernels that can be loosely interpreted as the transition probabilities of a Markov process in a random environment. The theory of stochastic flows of kernels was first developed by Le Jan and Raimond, who showed that each such flow is characterized by its -point motions. The authors' work focuses on a class of stochastic flows of kernels with Brownian -point motions which, after their inventors, will be called Howitt-Warren flows. The authors' main result gives a graphical construction of general Howitt-Warren flows, where the underlying random environment takes on the form of a suitably marked Brownian web. This extends earlier work of Howitt and Warren who showed that a special case, the so-called "erosion flow", can be constructed from two coupled "sticky Brownian webs". The authors' construction for general Howitt-Warren flows is based on a Poisson marking procedure developed by Newman, Ravishankar and Schertzer for the Brownian web. Alternatively, the authors show that a special subclass of the Howitt-Warren flows can be constructed as random flows of mass in a Brownian net, introduced by Sun and Swart. Using these constructions, the authors prove some new results for the Howitt-Warren flows.

Book Near Soliton Evolution for Equivariant Schrodinger Maps in Two Spatial Dimensions

Download or read book Near Soliton Evolution for Equivariant Schrodinger Maps in Two Spatial Dimensions written by Ioan Bejenaru and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider the Schrödinger Map equation in 2+1 dimensions, with values into \mathbb{S}^2. This admits a lowest energy steady state Q, namely the stereographic projection, which extends to a two dimensional family of steady states by scaling and rotation. The authors prove that Q is unstable in the energy space \dot H^1. However, in the process of proving this they also show that within the equivariant class Q is stable in a stronger topology X \subset \dot H^1.

Book Spectra of Symmetrized Shuffling Operators

Download or read book Spectra of Symmetrized Shuffling Operators written by Victor Reiner and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a finite real reflection group W and a W -orbit O of flats in its reflection arrangement - or equivalently a conjugacy class of its parabolic subgroups - the authors introduce a statistic noninv O (w) on w in W that counts the number of O -noninversions of w . This generalises the classical (non-)inversion statistic for permutations w in the symmetric group S n. The authors then study the operator ? O of right-multiplication within the group algebra CW by the element that has noninv O (w) as its coefficient on w.

Book On Some Aspects of Oscillation Theory and Geometry

Download or read book On Some Aspects of Oscillation Theory and Geometry written by Bruno Bianchini and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to analyze some of the relationships between oscillation theory for linear ordinary differential equations on the real line (shortly, ODE) and the geometry of complete Riemannian manifolds. With this motivation the authors prove some new results in both directions, ranging from oscillation and nonoscillation conditions for ODE's that improve on classical criteria, to estimates in the spectral theory of some geometric differential operator on Riemannian manifolds with related topological and geometric applications. To keep their investigation basically self-contained, the authors also collect some, more or less known, material which often appears in the literature in various forms and for which they give, in some instances, new proofs according to their specific point of view.

Book On the Steady Motion of a Coupled System Solid Liquid

Download or read book On the Steady Motion of a Coupled System Solid Liquid written by Josef Bemelmans and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the unconstrained (free) motion of an elastic solid B in a Navier-Stokes liquid L occupying the whole space outside B, under the assumption that a constant body force b is acting on B. More specifically, we are interested in the steady motion of the coupled system {B,L}, which means that there exists a frame with respect to which the relevant governing equations possess a time-independent solution. We prove the existence of such a frame, provided some smallness restrictions are imposed on the physical parameters, and the reference configuration of B satisfies suitable geometric properties.

Book Gromov  Cauchy and Causal Boundaries for Riemannian  Finslerian and Lorentzian Manifolds

Download or read book Gromov Cauchy and Causal Boundaries for Riemannian Finslerian and Lorentzian Manifolds written by Jose Luis Flores and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the old notion of causal boundary for a spacetime V has been redefined consistently. The computation of this boundary ∂V on any standard conformally stationary spacetime V=R×M, suggests a natural compactification MB associated to any Riemannian metric on M or, more generally, to any Finslerian one. The corresponding boundary ∂BM is constructed in terms of Busemann-type functions. Roughly, ∂BM represents the set of all the directions in M including both, asymptotic and "finite" (or "incomplete") directions. This Busemann boundary ∂BM is related to two classical boundaries: the Cauchy boundary ∂CM and the Gromov boundary ∂GM. The authors' aims are: (1) to study the subtleties of both, the Cauchy boundary for any generalized (possibly non-symmetric) distance and the Gromov compactification for any (possibly incomplete) Finsler manifold, (2) to introduce the new Busemann compactification MB, relating it with the previous two completions, and (3) to give a full description of the causal boundary ∂V of any standard conformally stationary spacetime.
