In this paper, the general disagreement of the geometrical lyapunov exponent with lyapunov exponent from tangent dynamics is addressed. It is shown in a quite general way that the vector field of geodesic spread $xi^k_G$ is not equivalent to the tangent dynamics vector $xi^k_T$ if the parameterization is not affine and that results regarding dynamical stability obtained in the geometrical framework can differ qualitatively from those in the tangent dynamics. It is also proved in a general way that in the case of Jacobi metric -frequently used non affine parameterization-, $xi^k_G$ satisfies differential equations which differ from the equations of the tangent dynamics in terms that produce parametric resonance, therefore, positive exponents for systems in stable regimes.
In this paper we review a proposed geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics. We argue that this geometrization makes available mathematical methods from classical mechanics to the quantum frame work. We apply this formulation to the study of separability and entanglement for states of composite quantum systems.
This work is devoted to show an equivalent description for the most probable transition paths of stochastic dynamical systems with Brownian noise, based on the theory of Markovian bridges. The most probable transition path for a stochastic dynamical system is the minimizer of the Onsager-Machlup action functional, and thus determined by the Euler-Lagrange equation (a second order differential equation with initial-terminal conditions) via a variational principle. After showing that the Onsager-Machlup action functional can be derived from a Markovian bridge process, we first demonstrate that, in some special cases, the most probable transition paths can be determined by first order deterministic differential equations with only a initial condition. Then we show that for general nonlinear stochastic systems with small noise, the most probable transition paths can be well approximated by solving a first order differential equation or an integro differential equation on a certain time interval. Finally, we illustrate our results with several examples.
Separable Hamiltonian systems either in sphero-conical coordinates on a $S^2$ sphere or in elliptic coordinates on a ${mathbb R}^2$ plane are described in an unified way. A back and forth route connecting these Liouville Type I separable systems is unveiled. It is shown how the gnomonic projection and its inverse map allow us to pass from a Liouville Type I separable system with an spherical configuration space to its Liouville Type I partner where the configuration space is a plane and back. Several selected spherical separable systems and their planar cousins are discussed in a classical context.
We consider a kinetic model for a system of two species of particles interacting through a longrange repulsive potential and a reservoir at given temperature. The model is described by a set of two coupled Vlasov-Fokker-Plank equations. The important front solution, which represents the phase boundary, is a one-dimensional stationary solution on the real line with given asymptotic values at infinity. We prove the asymptotic stability of the front for small symmetric perturbations.
It has recently been established that, in a non-demolition measurement of an observable $mathcal{N}$ with a finite point spectrum, the density matrix of the system approaches an eigenstate of $mathcal{N}$, i.e., it purifies over the spectrum of $mathcal{N}$. We extend this result to observables with general spectra. It is shown that the spectral density of the state of the system converges to a delta function exponentially fast, in an appropriate sense. Furthermore, for observables with absolutely continuous spectra, we show that the spectral density approaches a Gaussian distribution over the spectrum of $mathcal{N}$. Our methods highlight the connection between the theory of non-demolition measurements and classical estimation theory.
