Near integrability of kink lattice with higher order interactions

Abstract

In the paper, we make use of Manton's analytical method to investigate the force between kink and the anti-kink with large distance in $1+1$ dimensional field theory. The related potential has infinite order corrections of exponential pattern, and coefficients for each order are determined. These coefficients can also be obtained by solving the equation of the fluctuation around the vacuum. At the lowest order, the kink lattice represents the Toda lattice. With higher order correction terms, the kink lattice can represent one kind of the generic Toda lattice. With only two sites, the kink lattice is classically integrable. If the number of sites of the lattice is larger than two, the kink lattice is not integrable but a near integrable system. We take use of the Flaschka's variables to study the Lax pair of the kink lattice. These Flaschka's variables have interesting algebraic relations and the non-integrability can be manifested. We also discussed the higher Hamiltonians for the deformed open Toda lattice, which has a similar result as the ordinary deformed Toda.

How to Recover Oscillation-Free Pressure in Real Fluids: The RFQC Method and Its Liquid-Upwind Anomaly

From the perspective of continuum thermodynamics, we revisit the pressure oscillation problem in finite-volume methods for multiphase real fluids and clarify the physical counterpart of the Real Fluid Quasi-Conservative (RFQC) method. The pressure oscillation in conservative finite-volume methods originates from their implicit thermodynamic equilibrium assumption, whereas recovering an oscillation-free pressure requires additional physical information. The RFQC method achieves this by evolving the affine parameters xi and E0 of the isentropic internal-energy-pressure relation along pathlines, while the thermodynamic re-projection converts the deviation from the isentropic trajectory into an internal-energy error, thereby ensuring the thermodynamic consistency and numerical stability of the method. We then investigate the applicability limit of the RFQC method and identify a Liquid-upwind Anomaly (LUA) in extreme phase-change cases. For a Riemann problem involving liquid-vapor phase change, a numerical anomaly may occur if a liquid-upwind translational velocity is initially superimposed. Theoretical analysis reveals that this anomaly is initiated by the jump in the affine slope xi during phase change, which delays pressure rise in the downstream vapor cell. Concurrently, the re-projection removes the positive pressure increment, repeatedly generating large internal-energy errors and trapping the vapor cell in a cycle of delayed pressure recovery. The analysis indicates that the LUA is a start-up anomaly, which can be resolved by introducing a regularization strategy at the initial discontinuity. With the proposed regularization strategy, the RFQC method is equipped with enhanced accuracy and robustness for extreme thermodynamic flows, such as sonic phase-change jets.

Finite Rodriguez-Villegas Approximants to the Riemann $ξ$-Function

We construct a sequence of finite Rodriguez-Villegas transforms converging locally uniformly to the Riemann $ξ$-function in the critical strip. The input is a positive symmetric profile on the unit interval obtained from the Riemann theta kernel through convolution with the hyperbolic-secant kernel and the logistic coordinate. The profile is a Stieltjes function of $x(1-x)$. Its Bernstein polynomials produce reciprocal numerators and exact finite functional equations. The same numerators admit an exact realization as fermionic supertraces, while the Bernstein polynomials are normalized Gibbs traces.

Finite images of braid group representations and algebraic solutions of KZ-type equations

Finite monodromy provides a bridge between group representations and algebraic solutions of differential equations. We study this connection for the Katz-Long-Moody construction, which transforms representations of the semidirect product of a free group and a braid group into new representations of the same group and is related to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ)-type equations. For a fixed finite-image input, we classify the parameter values for which the resulting representations have finite image, both on the semidirect product and on its free-group and braid-group subgroups. In particular, finiteness of the braid-group image is independent of the admissible parameter. These results give necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions of the corresponding regular-singular KZ-type equations to be algebraic. On restriction to the free group, they also characterize finite monodromy and algebraicity of all solutions of the associated Fuchsian systems, connecting the classification to classical questions about algebraic hypergeometric functions.
