We consider the dynamics of a quantum particle of mass $m$ on a $n$-edges star-graph with Hamiltonian $H_K=-(2m)^{-1}hbar^2 Delta$ and Kirchhoff conditions in the vertex. We describe the semiclassical limit of the quantum evolution of an initial state supported on one of the edges and close to a Gaussian coherent state. We define the limiting classical dynamics through a Liouville operator on the graph, obtained by means of Kreu{i}ns theory of singular perturbations of self-adjoint operators. For the same class of initial states, we study the semiclassical limit of the wave and scattering operators for the couple $(H_K,H_{D}^{oplus})$, where $H_{D}^{oplus}$ is the free Hamiltonian with Dirichlet conditions in the vertex.
We show that the number of solutions of Schroedinger Maxwell system on a smooth bounded domain in R^3 depends on the topological properties of the domain. In particular we consider the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and the Poincare polynomial of the domain.
In this paper we improve the understanding of the cofactor conditions, which are particular conditions of geometric compatibility between austenite and martensite, that are believed to influence reversibility of martensitic transformations. We also introduce a physically motivated metric to measure how closely a material satisfies the cofactor conditions, as the two currently used in the literature can give contradictory results. We introduce a new condition of super-compatibility between martensitic laminates, which potentially reduces hysteresis and enhances reversibility. Finally, we show that this new condition of super-compatibility is very closely satisfied by Zn45Au30Cu25, the first of a class of recently discovered materials, fabricated to closely satisfy the cofactor conditions, and undergoing ultra-reversible martensitic transformation.
We consider the quantum evolution $e^{-ifrac{t}{hbar}H_{beta}} psi_{xi}^{hbar}$ of a Gaussian coherent state $psi_{xi}^{hbar}in L^{2}(mathbb{R})$ localized close to the classical state $xi equiv (q,p) in mathbb{R}^{2}$, where $H_{beta}$ denotes a self-adjoint realization of the formal Hamiltonian $-frac{hbar^{2}}{2m},frac{d^{2},}{dx^{2}} + beta,delta_{0}$, with $delta_{0}$ the derivative of Diracs delta distribution at $x = 0$ and $beta$ a real parameter. We show that in the semi-classical limit such a quantum evolution can be approximated (w.r.t. the $L^{2}(mathbb{R})$-norm, uniformly for any $t in mathbb{R}$ away from the collision time) by $e^{frac{i}{hbar} A_{t}} e^{it L_{B}} phi^{hbar}_{x}$, where $A_{t} = frac{p^{2}t}{2m}$, $phi_{x}^{hbar}(xi) := psi^{hbar}_{xi}(x)$ and $L_{B}$ is a suitable self-adjoint extension of the restriction to $mathcal{C}^{infty}_{c}({mathscr M}_{0})$, ${mathscr M}_{0} := {(q,p) in mathbb{R}^{2},|,q eq 0}$, of ($-i$ times) the generator of the free classical dynamics. While the operator $L_{B}$ here utilized is similar to the one appearing in our previous work [C. Cacciapuoti, D. Fermi, A. Posilicano, The semi-classical limit with a delta potential, Annali di Matematica Pura e Applicata (2020)] regarding the semi-classical limit with a delta potential, in the present case the approximation gives a smaller error: it is of order $hbar^{7/2-lambda}$, $0 < lambda < 1/2$, whereas it turns out to be of order $hbar^{3/2-lambda}$, $0 < lambda < 3/2$, for the delta potential. We also provide similar approximation results for both the wave and scattering operators.
In this paper, we study the structure of a family of superposition states on tensor algebras. The correlation functions of the considered states are described through a new kind of positive definite kernels valued in the dual of C$^ast$-algebras, so-called Schur kernels. Mainly, we show the existence of the limiting state of a net of superposition states over an arbitrary locally finite graph. Furthermore, we show that this limiting state enjoys a mixing property and an $alpha$-mixing property in the case of the multi-dimensional integer lattice $mathbb{Z}^ u$.
We consider the semi-classical limit of the quantum evolution of Gaussian coherent states whenever the Hamiltonian $mathsf H$ is given, as sum of quadratic forms, by $mathsf H= -frac{hbar^{2}}{2m},frac{d^{2},}{dx^{2}},dot{+},alphadelta_{0}$, with $alphainmathbb R$ and $delta_{0}$ the Dirac delta-distribution at $x=0$. We show that the quantum evolution can be approximated, uniformly for any time away from the collision time and with an error of order $hbar^{3/2-lambda}$, $0!<!lambda!<!3/2$, by the quasi-classical evolution generated by a self-adjoint extension of the restriction to $mathcal C^{infty}_{c}({mathscr M}_{0})$, ${mathscr M}_{0}:={(q,p)!in!mathbb R^{2},|,q! ot=!0}$, of ($-i$ times) the generator of the free classical dynamics; such a self-adjoint extension does not correspond to the classical dynamics describing the complete reflection due to the infinite barrier. Similar approximation results are also provided for the wave and scattering operators.
