We consider resonant tunneling between disorder localized states in a potential energy displaying perfect correlations over large distances. The phenomenon described here may be of relevance to models exhibiting many-body localization. Furthermore, in the context of single particle operators, our examples demonstrate that exponential resolvent localization does not imply exponential dynamical localization for random Schrodinger operators with correlated potentials.
We briefly review the diffraction of quasicrystals and then give an elementary alternative proof of the diffraction formula for regular cut-and-project sets, which is based on Bochners theorem from Fourier analysis. This clarifies a common view that the diffraction of a quasicrystal is determined by the diffraction of its underlying lattice. To illustrate our approach, we will also treat a number of well-known explicitly solvable examples.
We consider a three-dimensional chaotic system consisting of the suspension of Arnolds cat map coupled with a clock via a weak dissipative interaction. We show that the coupled system displays a synchronization phenomenon, in the sense that the relative phase between the suspension flow and the clock locks to a special value, thus making the motion fall onto a lower dimensional attractor. More specifically, we construct the attractive invariant manifold, of dimension smaller than three, using a convergent perturbative expansion. Moreover, we compute via convergent series the Lyapunov exponents, including notably the central one. The result generalizes a previous construction of the attractive invariant manifold in a similar but simpler model. The main novelty of the current construction relies in the computation of the Lyapunov spectrum, which consists of non-trivial analytic exponents. Some conjectures about a possible smoothening transition of the attractor as the coupling is increased are also discussed.
We derive the leading order radiation through tunneling of an oscillating soliton in a well. We use the hydrodynamic formulation with a rigorous control of the errors for finite times.
We decorate the one-dimensional conic oscillator $frac{1}{2} left[-frac{d^{2} }{dx^{2} } + left|x right| right]$ with a point impurity of either $delta$-type, or local $delta$-type or even nonlocal $delta$-type. All the three cases are exactly solvable models, which are explicitly solved and analysed, as a first step towards higher dimensional models of physical relevance. We analyse the behaviour of the change in the energy levels when an interaction of the type $-lambda,delta(x)$ or $-lambda,delta(x-x_0)$ is switched on. In the first case, even energy levels (pertaining to antisymmetric bound states) remain invariant with $lambda$ although odd energy levels (pertaining to symmetric bound states) decrease as $lambda$ increases. In the second, all energy levels decrease when the form factor $lambda$ increases. A similar study has been performed for the so called nonlocal $delta$ interaction, requiring a coupling constant renormalization, which implies the replacement of the form factor $lambda$ by a renormalized form factor $beta$. In terms of $beta$, even energy levels are unchanged. However, we show the existence of level crossings: after a fixed value of $beta$ the energy of each odd level, with the natural exception of the first one, becomes lower than the constant energy of the previous even level. Finally, we consider an interaction of the type $-adelta(x)+bdelta(x)$, and analyse in detail the discrete spectrum of the resulting self-adjoint Hamiltonian.
In this paper, we construct a Spectrum Generating Algebra (SGA) for a quantum system with purely continuous spectrum: the quantum free particle in a Lobachevski space with constant negative curvature. The SGA contains the geometrical symmetry algebra of the system plus a subalgebra of operators that give the spectrum of the system and connects the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian among themselves. In our case, the geometrical symmetry algebra is $frak{so}(3,1)$ and the SGA is $frak{so}(4,2)$. We start with a representation of $frak{so}(4,2)$ by functions on a realization of the Lobachevski space given by a two sheeted hyperboloid, where the Lie algebra commutators are the usual Poisson-Dirac brackets. Then, introduce a quantized version of the representation in which functions are replaced by operators on a Hilbert space and Poisson-Dirac brackets by commutators. Eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian are given and naive ladder operators are identified. The previously defined naive ladder operators shift the eigenvalues by a complex number so that an alternative approach is necessary. This is obtained by a non self-adjoint function of a linear combination of the ladder operators which gives the correct relation among the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian. We give an eigenfunction expansion of functions over the upper sheet of two sheeted hyperboloid in terms of the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian.
