Regularization of damped motion under central forces in two and three-dimensions are investigated and equivalent, undamped systems are obtained. The dynamics of a particle moving in $frac{1}{r}$ potential and subjected to a damping force is shown to be regularized a la Levi-Civita. We then generalize this regularization mapping to the case of damped motion in the potential $r^{-frac{2N}{N+1}}$. Further equation of motion of a damped Kepler motion in 3-dimensions is mapped to an oscillator with inverted sextic potential and couplings, in 4-dimensions using Kustaanheimo-Stiefel regularization method. It is shown that the strength of the sextic potential is given by the damping co-efficient of the Kepler motion. Using homogeneous Hamiltonian formalism, we establish the mapping between the Hamiltonian of these two models. Both in 2 and 3-dimensions, we show that the regularized equation is non-linear, in contrast to undamped cases. Mapping of a particle moving in a harmonic potential subjected to damping to an undamped system with shifted frequency is then derived using Bohlin-Sudman transformation.
Two damped, central force systems are investigated and equivalent, undamped systems are obtained. The dynamics of a particle moving in $frac{1}{r}$ potential and subjected to a damping force is shown to be regularized a la Levi-Civita. This mapping is then elevated to the corresponding quantum mechanical systems and using it, the energy spectrum of the former is calculated. Mapping of a particle moving in a harmonic potential subjected to damping to an undamped system is then derived using Bohlin-Sudman transformation, for both classical and quantum regime.
We derive a bound on the total number of negative energy bound states in a potential in two spatial dimensions by using an adaptation of the Schwinger method to derive the Birman-Schwinger bound in three dimensions. Specifically, counting the number of bound states in a potential gV for g=1 is replaced by counting the number of g_is for which zero energy bound states exist, and then the kernel of the integral equation for the zero-energy wave functon is symmetrized. One of the keys of the solution is the replacement of an inhomogeneous integral equation by a homogeneous integral equation.
We develop a method for producing estimates on the spectral gaps of reversible Markov jump processes with chaotic invariant measures, and we apply it to prove the Kac conjecture for hard sphere collision in three dimensions.
We demonstrate that partner symmetries provide a lift of noninvariant solutions of three-dimensional Boyer-Finley equation to noninvariant solutions of four-dimensional hyperbolic complex Monge-Ampere equation. The lift is applied to noninvariant solutions of the Boyer-Finley equation, obtained earlier by the method of group foliation, to yield noninvariant solutions of the hyperbolic complex Monge-Ampere equation. Using these solutions we construct new Ricci-flat ultra-hyperbolic metrics with non-zero curvature tensor that have no Killing vectors.
We consider long-range self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model on $mathbb{Z}^d$ that are defined by power-law decaying pair potentials of the form $D(x)asymp|x|^{-d-alpha}$ with $alpha>0$. The upper-critical dimension $d_{mathrm{c}}$ is $2(alphawedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and $3(alphawedge2)$ for percolation. Let $alpha e2$ and assume certain heat-kernel bounds on the $n$-step distribution of the underlying random walk. We prove that, for $d>d_{mathrm{c}}$ (and the spread-out parameter sufficiently large), the critical two-point function $G_{p_{mathrm{c}}}(x)$ for each model is asymptotically $C|x|^{alphawedge2-d}$, where the constant $Cin(0,infty)$ is expressed in terms of the model-dependent lace-expansion coefficients and exhibits crossover between $alpha<2$ and $alpha>2$. We also provide a class of random walks that satisfy those heat-kernel bounds.
