We study a pair of infinite dimensional dynamical systems naturally associated with the study of minimizing/maximizing functions for the Strichartz inequalities for the Schrodinger equation. One system is of gradient type and the other one is a Hamiltonian system. For both systems, the corresponding sets of critical points, their stability, and the relation between the two are investigated. By a combination of numerical and analytical methods we argue that the Gaussian is a maximizer in a class of Strichartz inequalities for dimensions one, two and three. The argument reduces to verification of an apparently new combinatorial inequality involving binomial coefficients.
Random plane wave is conjectured to be a universal model for high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on generic compact Riemanian manifolds. This is known to be true on average. In the present paper we discuss one of important geometric observable: critical points. We first compute one-point function for the critical point process, in particular we compute the expected number of critical points inside any open set. After that we compute the short-range asymptotic behaviour of the two-point function. This gives an unexpected result that the second factorial moment of the number of critical points in a small disc scales as the fourth power of the radius.
The defining characteristic of an exceptional point (EP) in the parameter space of a family of operators is that upon encircling the EP eigenstates are permuted. In case one encircles multiple EPs, the question arises how to properly compose the effects of the individual EPs. This was thought to be ambiguous. We show that one can solve this problem by considering based loops and their deformations. The theory of fundamental groups allows to generalize this technique to arbitrary degeneracy structures like exceptional lines in a three-dimensional parameter space. As permutations of three or more objects form a non-abelian group, the next question that arises is whether one can experimentally demonstrate this non-commutative behavior. This requires at least two EPs of a family of operators that have at least 3 eigenstates. A concrete implementation in a recently proposed $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric waveguide system is suggested as an example of how to experimentally check the composition law and show the non-abelian nature of non-hermitian systems with multiple EPs.
For a closed subset $K$ of a compact metric space $A$ possessing an $alpha$-regular measure $mu$ with $mu(K)>0$, we prove that whenever $s>alpha$, any sequence of weighted minimal Riesz $s$-energy configurations $omega_N={x_{i,N}^{(s)}}_{i=1}^N$ on $K$ (for `nice weights) is quasi-uniform in the sense that the ratios of its mesh norm to separation distance remain bounded as $N$ grows large. Furthermore, if $K$ is an $alpha$-rectifiable compact subset of Euclidean space ($alpha$ an integer) with positive and finite $alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, it is possible to generate such a quasi-uniform sequence of configurations that also has (as $Nto infty$) a prescribed positive continuous limit distribution with respect to $alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence of our energy related results for the unweighted case, we deduce that if $A$ is a compact $C^1$ manifold without boundary, then there exists a sequence of $N$-point best-packing configurations on $A$ whose mesh-separation ratios have limit superior (as $Nto infty$) at most 2.
In this paper, we discuss duality about components of invariant variety of periodic points(IVPP) and fundamental domain of recurrence equation, and present an algorithm for the derivation of all components of IVPPs of any rational maps. It is based on the study of two examples of a 2 dimensional map and a 3 dimensional map. In particular, all components of IVPPs of the 2 dimensional example are completely determined by means of the cyclotomic polynomials.
We prove a conjecture of Ambrus, Ball and Erd{e}lyi that equally spaced points maximize the minimum of discrete potentials on the unit circle whenever the potential is of the form sum_{k=1}^n f(d(z,z_k)), where $f:[0,pi]to [0,infty]$ is non-increasing and strictly convex and $d(z,w)$ denotes the geodesic distance between $z$ and $w$ on the circle.
