Abstract

In a number of physically important cases, the nonholonomically (nonintegrable) constrained Ricci flows can be modelled by exact solutions of Einstein equations with nonhomogeneous (anisotropic) cosmological constants. We develop two geometric methods for constructing such solutions: The first approach applies the formalism of nonholonomic frame deformations when the gravitational evolution and field equations transform into systems of nonlinear partial differential equations which can be integrated in general form. The second approach develops a general scheme when one (two) parameter families of exact solutions are defined by any source-free solutions of Einstein's equations with one (two) Killing vector field(s). A successive iteration procedure results in a class of solutions characterized by an infinite number of parameters for a non-Abelian group involving arbitrary functions on one variable. We also consider nonlinear superpositions of some mentioned classes of solutions in order to construct more general integral varieties of the Ricci flow and Einstein equations depending on infinite number of parameters and three/ four coordinates on four/ five dimensional (semi) Riemannian spaces.

Widom asymptotics for spatial compressions of Schrödinger spectral projections

We establish a Widom trace formula for spatial compressions of exact spectral projections of semiclassical Schrödinger operators. The potential is smooth near a compact classically allowed region, and the observation domain lies strictly inside that region. For every continuous spectral function with positive power decay at both endpoints, we obtain a trace formula at scale $h^{1-n}\log h^{-1}$ whose coefficient separates into a boundary integral and a universal spectral functional. This yields the exact von Neumann and Rényi entanglement asymptotics for every fixed positive order, and proves their universal ratios to the particle-number variance. The proof combines commutator estimates in every fixed positive Schatten class with a local trace formula obtained from a boundary-adapted normal form and a Hardy model. In dimensions $n\ge2$, a positive partition and the known variance asymptotic control the grazing contribution; in one dimension all boundary Fermi points are transverse. A harmonic-oscillator counterexample shows that continuity and weighted integrability alone are insufficient for the trace formula.

Congruence of Dirac operators with applications to generalized MIT bag models

We highlight a simple congruence transform that shifts coupling parameters for Dirac operators with shell interactions. As one of the consequences, this leads to new observations concerning the self-adjointness and the infinite mass interpretation of generalized MIT bag models.

Dipole Formation in the Two-Component Plasma

We consider the two-dimensional two-component plasma, or Coulomb gas, consisting of $N$ positive and $N$ negative charges with logarithmic interaction. We introduce a suitable regularization of the interaction by smearing the charges over a small length scale $λ$, which allows us to give meaning to the system in the continuum at any temperature. We provide an expansion of the free energy for each inverse temperature $β\ge2$, as $N \to \infty$ and $λ\to 0$. Doing so allows us to show that, for $β\geq 2$, the charges (for the most part) pair into neutral dipoles of very small size as $λ\to 0$. This complements the prior work of Leblé, Zeitouni, and the second author, which proved that this does not happen for $β< 2$, thereby implying a transition at $β= 2$ from free charges to dipole pairs. Moreover, we obtain an estimate on the size of linear statistics. The description in terms of dipoles is made via a decomposition into nearest-neighbor graphs of the point configurations, à la Gunson-Panta. This is combined with new energy estimates obtained via an electric reformulation of the interaction energy and a ball-growth method, which are expressed in terms of the nearest-neighbor graph distances only. In this way, the model is compared to a reduced nearest-neighbor interaction model, by showing the relative smallness of the dipole-dipole interactions.
