AbstractQuasi-one dimensional (1D) conductors of the TTF-TCNQ family of charge transfer salts exhibit a Peierls transition which stabilizes a periodic lattice distortion (PLD), accompanied by a charge density wave (CDW) modulation, with an incommensurate 2

We investigate Bose-Einstein condensation of a gas of non-interacting Bose particles moving in the background of a periodic lattice of delta functions. In the one-dimensional case, where one has no condensation in the free case, we showed that this property persist also in the presence of the lattice. In addition we formulated some conditions on the spectral functions which would allow for condensation.

The electron theory of metals revived by Sommerfeld assumes that an electron moves in a metal as though this were an equipotential medium. Considering the nuclei fixed and regularly spaced we obtain a potential periodic in space coordinates. To study the effect of such fields we may simplify the problem so as to contain only one periodic term for each coordinate in its expression for potential. This problem can be reduced further to a one-dimensional one, of which the simplest example is the motion of an electron in a field with potential cos x or sin x. Darwin has shown that a suitable combination or packet of elementary de Broglie waves is capable of moving coherently in several instances. The motion of such a packet is found to be equivalent to that of a particle in classical dynamics with the Heissenberg uncertainty relation. The wave packet is used here for the motion of the electron in a periodic field. The result obtained is equivalent to that of classical dynamics. The wave packet again moves as a particle with an uncertainty relation.

We study a topological space obtained from a graph via replacing vertices with smooth Riemannian manifolds, that is, a decorated graph. We consider the following dynamical system on decorated graphs. Suppose that, at the initial time, we have a narrow wave packet on a one-dimensional edge. It can be thought of as a point moving along the edge. When a packet arrives at the point of gluing, the expanding wavefront begins to spread on the Riemannian manifold. At the same time, there is a partial reflection of the wave packet. When the wavefront that propagates on the surface comes to another point of gluing, it generates a reflected wavefront and a wave packet on an edge. We study the number of Gaussian packets, that is, moving points on one-dimensional edges as time goes to infinity. We prove the asymptotic estimations for this number for the following decorated graphs: a cylinder with an interval, a two-dimensional torus with an interval and a three-dimensional torus with an interval. Also we prove a general theorem about a manifold with an interval and apply it to the case of a uniformly secure manifold.
