As a result, we prove the following: if M is an Einstein warped product space with nonpositive scalar curvature and compact base, then M is a Riemannian product space. Besides, we show that the Riemannian product Rp×F is a gradient Ricci soliton if and only if F is Ricci soliton gradient. Then, we show that the warped product R×f B is gradient Ricci solitons with f ′′ 6= 0, therefore F is Einstein.

Mostramos ainda que o produto Riemanniano Rp ×F é um gradiente Ricci soliton se e somente se F for gradiente Ricci soliton.

Finalmente consideramos o produto torcido Lorentziano sendo gradiente Ricci soliton e obtivemos critérios análogos ao Riemanniano para que F seja Einstein ou gradiente Ricci soliton.

Para tanto, introduzimos uma nova função de onda sombra que permite o cálculo da fração de condensado do sistema a T = 0 K diretamente das configurações geradas no cálculo da energia variacional. A função proposta é construída através da integração sobre um conjunto de variáveis auxiliares que interagem com todos os átomos do sistema. Esta função é translacionalmente invariante mesmo na fase sólida e satisfaz a estatística de Bose-Einstein. Utilizando essa nova função de onda concluímos que aproximadamente 4% dos átomos estão no estado de menor energia e o sistema apresenta ordem de longo alcance fora da diagonal. Resultados de energia variacional e função de distribuição radial de pares também são apresentados. As integrais de configuração espaciais foram realizadas utilizando o método de Monte Carlo / Abstract: We study the Bose-Einstein condensation in systems formed by 4He atoms. To this end, we introduce a new shadow wave function that enables the calculation of the condensate fraction of the system at T = 0 K directly from the configurations generated in the calculation of the variational energy. The proposed function is constructed by an integration over a set of auxiliary variables that interact with all the atoms of the system. This function is translationally invariant even in the solid phase and satisfies the Bose- Einstein statistics. Using this new wave function we conclude that approximately 4% of the atoms are in the lowest energy state and the system displays off-diagonal long ranged order. Results from variational energy and pair distribution function are also presented. The configuration integrations were performed using the Monte Carlo method / Mestrado / Física / Mestre em Física

S’interroger sur la clef de lecture à assumer pour aborder l’interprétation et l’analyse du premier écrit de Kant,présuppose en même temps de se poser le problème du fil conducteur qui traverse toute la recherche philosophique et scientifique de Kant. La reconstruction systématique et archéologique de la recherche spéculative kantienne pourra donc révéler, déjà à partir des Gedanken, une étude entièrement finalisée à la poursuite [I.] d’une description systématique del’univers (comme connaissance ‘objective’ du monde extérieur et intérieur, materialiter e formaliter spectata) [II.] antécédemment déterminée (comme connaissance ‘subjective’, materialiter e formaliter spectata) [III.] selon la ligne programmatique propre à la Science ‘classique’.Un tel gain a donc permis : (1.) de révéler avant tout l’origine aristotélicienne de la querelle des forces vives ; (2.) de jeter une lumière nouvelle sur la première formation de la pensée de Kant, révélant en outre les sources kantiennes orthodoxes établies par l’historiographie philosophique (c’est-à-dire Descartes, Leibniz et Wolff) comme apparentes par rapport à la perspective assumée par le parcours kantien, davantage tourné quant à lui vers les problèmes ouverts de la mise en cause du modèle physique aristotélicien par Galilée et de ceux émergeant de la tentative d’unification systématique proposée par Newton ; (3.) de trouver enfin, dans la solution kantienne, la clef de voûte pour dépasser définitivement le dualisme épistémologique (d’où l’incongruité conséquente), aujourd’hui subsistante, entre le modèle einsteinien dans le continu et le modèle, discret et probabiliste, proposée par la Mécanique quantique. / Asking ourselves about the interpretative framework that we should adopt when we set out to read and examine Kant’s first oeuvre demands that we pose the preliminary question of whether a red thread recurs throughout Kant’s philosophical and scientific investigation. A reconstruction of Kant’s theoretical investigation reveals that Kant’s inquiry, beginning with the Gedanken, is entirely devoted to accomplish (I) a systematic description of the universe (understood as objective knowledge of the external and internal world, a knowledge that is viewed both materially and formally, materialiter and formaliter spectata); (II) an antecedently determined description of the universe (understood as subjective knowledge, a knowledge that is viewed both materially and formally, materialiter and formaliter spectata); and (III) a description of the universe that is carried out within the programmatic direction proper of ‘classic’ Science. Our research findings allowed us to (1) show that the question of ‘living forces’ has Aristotelian underpinnings; (2) shed new light on the first development of Kant’s thought and show that the orthodox Kantian sources (that is, Descartes, Leibniz e Wolf) depart from Kant’s philosophical project which was primarily concerned with the problems that resulted from the crisis of Aristotelian science due to Galileo’s contributions and Newton’s attempt at a systemic unification of nature; (3) finally, identify a Kantiansolution for overcoming the epistemological dualism (and the incompatibility thereof) between Einstein’s model of a continuum in nature and the Quantum Mechanical model that describes nature as discrete and probabilistic.

Le travail réalisé dans le cadre de cette thèse s'articule en deux volets. Le premier porte sur l'étude de l'effet des interactions entre atomes au sein d'un interféromètre atomique, dont la source est un condensat de Bose-Eintein. Nous présentons un modèle analytiquepermettant d'obtenir des expressions simples pour le déphasage induit par celles-ci. Ce modèle est comparé à des simulations numériques résolvant les équations de Gross-Pitaevskii couplées, et présente un excellent accord. Le second concerne la conception et la construction d'un nouveau dispositif expérimental visant à obtenir un condensat de Bose-Einteindans le but de réaliser des mesures de haute précision par interférométrie atomique. / The work performed during this thesis comprises two orientations. The first one is the study of the effect of interactions between atoms in an atom interferometer which source of atoms is a Bose-Einstein condensate. We present an analytical model allowing to obtain simple expressions for the phase shift induced by them. This model is compared to numerical simulations solving the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations and presents a good agreement. The second one is the design and construction of a new experimental set-up for the production of a Bose-Einstein condensate to perform high precision measurements with the use of atom interferometry.

Cette thèse est dédiée à l'interprétation théorique des expériences sur les gaz froids des excitons indirects dans des nanostructures semi-conductrices. La théorie proposée explique la formation de l'état des excitons macroscopiquement ordonnés ("MOES") et des taches lumineuses localisées dans les images de photoluminescence des excitons. Dans la première partie je montrerai que la séparation macroscopique de charge induite par laser mène à l'apparition d'un champ électrique situé dans le plan de la structure. A cause de ce champ les états quantiques 1s et 2p de l'exciton se croisent et son moment dipolaire s'incline. Par conséquent, l'exciton va se localiser à la frontière entre les deux domaines d'une charge différente, où le champ électrique est le plus fort. Ensuite, j'étudierai un gaz d'excitons mis dans de tels pièges bidimensionnels en négligeant sa structure de spin. J'analyserai la possibilité de la condensation de Bose-Einstein dans le système considéré en utilisant les méthodes puissantes de la théorie à N-corps développées pour des gaz atomiques. En me basant sur le Hamiltonien pour un segment du cercle bidimensionnel ("2D cigar"), je montrerai que la dispersion cohérente des excitons mène à l'autolocalisation accompagnée par une modulation périodique de la densité. L'idée principale de la théorie est, ensuite, de modéliser cet état périodique par une chaîne de condensats piégés (Le Modèle de Chaîne). Un tel modèle permettra de dire que le système peut exhiber la transition de phase de second ordre pour certaines valeurs du paramètre qui caractérise les interactions. La valeur critique de ce paramètre peut être trouvée en analysant le comportement des fluctuations de phase à la température nulle. Le nombre de condensats dans le régime où les interactions sont fortes est déterminé par la balance entre les contributions de l'énergie cinétique est l'entropie dans l'énergie libre du système. Le Modèle de Chaîne permettra aussi de révéler l'invariance d''échelle et l'universalité du phénomène. J'obtiendrai l'expression pour la température unique de la transition de phase dans le système excitonique et discuterai l'effet de désordre. Je finirai par une discussion du rôle des interactions à N-corps et des effets de spin dans la condensation de Bose-Einstein des excitons. Je proposerai un modèle de gaz idéal pour décrire les textures de polarisation linéaire observées autour de chaque tache lumineuse et chaque fragment de MOES. Selon ce modèle, le domaine central incohérent de tous ces objets est composé d'une glace excitonique quantique. / The present Thesis is devoted to theoretical interpretation of intriguing observations made recently in cold gases of indirect excitons in semiconductor quantum wells. The proposed theory provides simple intuitive explanation for the basic phenomenology of the macroscopically ordered exciton state (MOES) and the localized bright spots (LBS) in the exciton photoluminescense pattern. The Thesis is organized as follows.First, we provide an important insight into the formation process of the external ring and LBS. We show that the macroscopic charge separation induced by the photoexcitation results in appearance of an in-plane electric field in the vicinity of the boundary. The field hybridizes 1s and 2p quantum states of an indirect exciton, effectively tilting its dipole moment. Thus polarized exciton seeks for the regions with higher in-plane electric field and, hence, becomes localized at the ring-shaped boundary.As a next step, we consider a gas of spinless dipolar bosons put in such two-dimensional (2D) traps. We analyze the possibility for occurence of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the system under consideration by means of the powerful many-body theoretical methods developed for ultracold atomic gases. Starting from the Hamiltonian for a segment of the ring (2D cigar) we show, howthe coherent scattering of excitons can result in autolocalization accompanied by a buildup of the diagonal long-range order. The crucial point of the theory then consists in replacement of the periodic coherent state by a chain of harmonically trapped condensates (Chain Model). We argue, that for sufficiently strong contact interaction between the excitons the system can exhibit the true second order phase transistion at finite temperature. The critical value of the interaction parameter can be found by analyzing the behaviour of the quantum phase fluctuations at zero temperature. The number of condensates at the ring in the strongly interacting regime is defined by the balance between the kinetic energy and the entropy terms in the free energy of the system.Futhermore, the use of the Chain Model of the MOES allows one to reveal scale invariance and universality of the pnenomenon. We obtain the expression for the unique critical temperature of the second order phase transition in the exciton system and discuss the effect of disorder.Finally, we comment on the role of many-body interactions and spin degrees of freedom in excitonic BEC. We suggest that each bead (or, equivalently, LBS) has the internal structure: it consists of a solid core (Quantum Exciton Iceberg) surrounded by a coherent exciton fluid. We develop an ideal gas model for the coherent four-component exciton fluid which allows one to explain the measured linear polarization patterns.

La problématique de cette thèse est l'étude de la localisation d'un condensat de Bose-Einstein confiné harmoniquement et quasi-1D à travers lequel différents potentiels désordonnés sont transportés. Cette problématique qui se veut pleinement pertinente pour les expérimentalistes est à priori difficile à traiter. Cela est dû au caractère non-linéaire, inhomogène et hors-équilibre du système. De ce fait, la plage des vitesses du désordre est limitée d'une part par la vitesse critique de superfluidité et d'autre part par la configuration inhomogène du système. Des notions habituelles de localisation telles que transmission ou exposant de Lyapunov ne sont plus applicables. Donc, il a fallu apporter une nouvelle mesure de localisation pour notre problématique: le ratio du déplacement du centre de masse du condensat au déplacement du désordre qu'on a identifié à la fraction d'atomes localisés. De plus, nous avons des corrélations dans le désordre qui introduisent l'effet d'un comportement non-monotone de l'efficacité de la localisation du potentiel désordonné en fonction de l'énergie. Ainsi, les corrélations peuvent être un moyen pour mettre en évidence la nature quantique de la localisation. Chose que nous avont fait dans un premier temps avec du désordre de type Modèle d'Edwards et dans une seconde partie avec du désordre de type speckle, qu'on nomme le Random Dimer speckle. Pour ce deuxième cas, nous avons proposé une procédure pour contrôler les corrélations et introduire un pic de localisation dans une certaine région énergétique. Cette configuration pourrait être vérifié dans les expériences à l'aide d'un modulateur spatial de lumière. / The topic of this thesis is the study of localization of a quasi-one-dimensional and harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate through which various disordered potentials are transported. This problem, which wants itself to be fully relevant to experimenters, is a priori difficult to deal with. This is due to the non-linear, inhomhogeneous and out-of-equilibrium nature of the system. Because of this, the range of speeds of disorder is limited on one side by the critical speed of superfluidity and on the other side by the inhomogeneous setting of the system. Usual notions of localization like transmission and Lyapunov exponent are no longer applicable. Thus, we had to introduce a novel measure of localization for our problem: the ratio of the distance moved by the condensate center of mass to the distance moved by the disordered potential that we identify as the fraction of localized atoms. Furthermore, we have correlations in the disorder that introduce the effect of non-monotonic behavior of the localization efficiency of the disordered potential as a function of energy. A a result, correlations can be used as a tool to point the quantum nature of the localization. We did this in a first part with Edwards Model type disorders and in a second part with speckle type disorders, a new one that we call the Random Dimer speckle. For this second part, we propose a scheme to control the correlations and introduce a localization peak in a certain energy region. This device can be verified in experiments with the help of a Spatial Light Modulator.
