Several Lagrangians describing the SU(2) Yang–Mills (YM) field interacting with matter are considered, which support both instantons (in four Euclidean dimensions) and sphaleron (in three dimensions, static) solutions. The matter fields are the complex Higgs doublet for the Weinberg–Salam (WS) model, and a (2 × 4) Grassmannian model. These Lagrangians feature Skyrme-like extensions to enable the existence of the instantons, which decay as pure gauge at infinity. For two of these models, we have numerically integrated the one-dimensional system arising from the imposition of radial ansatz.

Abstract The spatial positions of individual aerosol particles, cloud droplets, or raindrops can be modeled as a point processes in three dimensions. Characterization of three-dimensional point processes often involves the calculation or estimation of the radial distribution function (RDF) and/or the pair-correlation function (PCF) for the system. Sampling these three-dimensional systems is often impractical, however, and, consequently, these three-dimensional systems are directly measured by probing the system along a one-dimensional transect through the volume (e.g., an aircraft-mounted cloud probe measuring a thin horizontal “skewer” through a cloud). The measured RDF and PCF of these one-dimensional transects are related to (but not, in general, equal to) the RDF/PCF of the intrinsic three-dimensional systems from which the sample was taken. Previous work examined the formal mathematical relationship between the statistics of the intrinsic three-dimensional system and the one-dimensional transect; this study extends the previous work within the context of realistic sampling variability. Natural sampling variability is found to constrain substantially the usefulness of applying previous theoretical relationships. Implications for future sampling strategies are discussed.

Dominant Structure

We describe a method of stabilizing the dominant structure in a chaotic reaction-diffusion system, where the underlying nonlinear dynamics needs not to be known. The dominant mode is identified by the Karhunen-Loeve decomposition, also known as orthogonal decomposition. Using a ionic version of the Brusselator model in a spatially one-dimensional system, our control strategy is based on perturbations derived from the amplitude function of the dominant spatial mode. The perturbation is used in two different ways: A global perturbation is realized by forcing an electric current through the one-dimensional system, whereas the local perturbation is performed by modulating concentrations of the autocatalyst at the boundaries. Only the global method enhances the contribution of the dominant mode to the total fluctuation energy. On the other hand, the local method leads to simple bulk oscillation of the entire system.

Abstract We find a one-dimensional protected subsector of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 matter theories on a general class of three-dimensional manifolds. By means of equivariant localization we identify a dual quantum mechanics computing BPS correlators of the original model in three dimensions. Specifically, applying the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne formula to the original action demonstrates that this localizes on a one-dimensional action with support on the fixed-point submanifold of suitable isometries. We first show that our approach reproduces previous results obtained on S3. Then, we apply it to the novel case of S2× S1 and show that the theory localizes on two noninteracting quantum mechanics with disjoint support. We prove that the BPS operators of such models are naturally associated with a noncom- mutative star product, while their correlation functions are essentially topological. Finally, we couple the three-dimensional theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) surface defects and extend the localization computation to capture the full partition function and BPS correlators of the mixed-dimensional system.

AbstractA kinetic equation is derived for the singlet distribution function for a heavy impurity in a lattice of lighter atoms in a temperature gradient. In the one dimensional case the equation can be solved to find formal expressions for the jump probability and hence the heat of transport, q*. for a single vacancy jump of the impurity, q* is the sum of the enthalpy of activation, a term involving only averaging in an equilibrium ensemble, and two non-equilibrium terms in­volving time correlation functions. The most important non-equilibrium term concerns the cor­relation between the force on the impurity and a microscopic heat flux. A plausible extension to three dimensions is suggested and the relation to earlier isothermal and non-isothermal theories is indicated

We review recent developments in the study of the diffusion reaction system of the type A+B→C in which the reactants are initially separated. We consider the case where the A and B particles are initially placed uniformly in Euclidean space at x>0 and x<0 respectively. We find that whereas for d≥2 a single scaling exponent characterizes the width of the reaction zone, a multiscaling approach is needed to describe the one-dimensional system. We also present analytical and numerical results for the reaction rate on fractals and percolation systems.

Aging Phenomena

In this work we study, by means of numerical simulations, the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the one-dimensional Edwards–Anderson model with long-range interactions of the form ± Jr-α. In the limit α → 0 we recover the well known Sherrington–Kirkpatrick mean-field version of the model, which presents a very complex dynamical behavior. At the other extreme, for α → ∞ the model converges to the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional system. We focus our study on the dependence of the dynamics on the history of the sample (aging phenomena) for different values of α. The model is known to have mean-field exponents already for values of α = 2/3. Our results indicate that the crossover to the dynamic mean-field occurs at a value of α < 2/3.

Incremental Theory Of Plasticity

A class of one-dimensional models for the yielding behavior of materials and structures is presented. This class of models leads to stress-strain relations which exhibit a Bauschinger effect of the Massing type, and both the steady-state and nonsteady-state cyclic behavior are completely specified if the initial monotonic loading behavior is known. The concepts of the one-dimensional class of models are extended to three-dimensions and lead to a subsequent generalization of the customary concepts of the incremental theory of plasticity.

The critical exponents describing the decrease of correlation functions on long distances for the one-dimensional Hubbard model is obtained. The behaviour of correlators shows that Cooper pairs of electrons are formed. The electron tunneling between the chains leads to the existence of the anomalous mean values and to the superconductive current. The anisotropy of the quasi-one-dimensional system leads to the rise of critical temperature T c .

We quantize the system of a damped harmonic oscillator coupled to its time-reversed image, known as Bateman's dual system. By using the Feynman–Hibbs method, the time-dependent quantum states of such a system are constructed entirely in the framework of the classical theory. The geometric phase is calculated and found to be proportional to the ground-state energy of the one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator to which the two-dimensional system reduces under appropriate constraint.
