We revisit the time-adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics and show that it can be extended to weakly nonlinear situations, that is to nonlinear Schroedinger equations in which either the nonlinear coupling constant or, equivalently, the…
The semiclassical collapse of a sphere of quantized dust is studied. A Born-Oppenheimer decomposition is performed for the wave function of the system and the semiclassical limit is considered for the gravitational part. The method of…
In this paper, we define lower dimensional volumes of spin manifolds with boundary. We compute the lower dimensional volume ${\rm Vol}_{6}^{(1,3)}$ for 6-dimensional spin manifolds with boundary and the gravity on boundary is derived by the…
This paper is concerned with the low regularity well-posedness of the adiabatic limit of the quantum Zakharov system, which is a modified nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLSE). As the quantum parameter tends to zero, the modified NLSE…
We study Friedmann--Robertson--Walker models with a perfect fluid matter source and a scalar field nonminimally coupled to matter. We prove that a general class of bounded from above potentials which fall to minus infinity as the field goes…
We prove an adiabatic theorem for the non-autonomous Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the case of a weak trap. More precisely, we assume that the external potential decays suitably at infinity and admits exactly one bound state.
We study complete non-compact manifolds of positive scalar curvature, with a focus on how curvature decay is constrained by topology at infinity. Our first main result shows that topological linking at infinity forces polynomial decay of…
Adiabatic elimination is a perturbative model reduction technique based on timescale separation and often used to simplify the description of composite quantum systems. We here analyze a quantum experiment where the perturbative expansion…
We derive a formula for the dry adiabatic lapse rate of atmospheres composed of real gases. We restrict our study to those described by a family of two-parameter cubic equations of state and the recent Guevara non-cubic equation. Since our…
In this article we use the adiabatic method to prove the gluing formula of real analytic torsion forms for a flat vector bundle on a smooth fibration under the assumption that the fiberwise twisted cohomology groups associated to the…
In the conventional quantum mechanics (i.e., hermitian QM) the adia- batic theorem for systems subjected to time periodic fields holds only for bound systems and not for open ones (where ionization and dissociation take place) [D. W. Hone,…
We derive a sharp lower bound for the scalar curvature of non-flat and non-compact expanding gradient Ricci soliton provided that the scalar curvature is non-negative and the potential function is proper. We also give an upper bound for the…
We consider the propagation of wave packets for a one-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a matrix-valued potential, in the semi-classical limit. For an initial coherent state polarized along some eigenvector, we prove that the…
We obtain a complete description of anisotropic scaling limits and the existence of scaling transition for a class of negatively dependent linear random fields on ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ with moving-average coefficients $a(t,s)$ decaying as…
We present straightforward proofs of estimates used in the adiabatic approximation. The gap dependence is analyzed explicitly. We apply the result to interpolating Hamiltonians of interest in quantum computing.
We discuss bounds for nonadiabatic transitions from the viewpoints of the adiabatic perturbation theory and the quantum speed limit. We show that the amount of nonadiabatic transitions from the $n$th level to the $m$th level is bounded by a…
We say that the vanishing viscosity limit holds in the classical sense if the velocity for a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations converges in the energy norm uniformly in time to the velocity for a solution to the Euler equations. We…
We extend the vanishing theorem for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a manifold with positive scalar curvature to the case when the curvature is allowed to be negative on a set of small volume. (The precise curvature bounds are described in…
We show that the field equations for cosmological perturbations in Newtonian gauge always have an adiabatic solution, for which a quantity ${\cal R}$ is non-zero and constant in all eras in the limit of large wavelength, so that it can be…
The aim of the paper is twofold. First, we introduce analogs of (partial) derivatives on certain Noncommutative algebras, including some enveloping algebras and their "braided counterparts", namely, the so-called modified Reflection…
