Supersymmetric Landau ModelsBeylin, Andrey V 05 August 2011 (has links)
This work is focused on the different supersymmetric extensions of the Landau model. We aim to fully solve each model and describe its energy levels, wavefunctions, Hilbert space and define a norm on it, as well as find symmetry generators and transformations with respect to them. Several possible generalizations were considered before. It was found for Landau model on the so called Superflag manifold as well as planar Superflag and Superplane Landau models that standard norm on the Hilbert space is not positive definite. Later for planar cases it was found that it is possible to fix this by introducing a new norm which will be invariant and positive definite. Surprisingly this procedure brings up "hidden" symmetries for the known super Landau models. In the dissertation we apply the same procedure for Landau model on superpshere and Superflag manifolds. It turns out that superpsherical Landau model is equivalent to the Superflag model with one of the parameters fixed. Because the model on superpshere can be recovered from the Superflag we will do calculations of corrected norm only for the Superflag. After this we develop a different generalization of the Superplane Landau model. Starting with Lagrangian in a superfield form we introduce two arbitrary functions of superfields K(Φ) and V(Φ) into the Lagrangian. We follow with the component form of Lagrangian. The quantization of the model is possible, and we will show that there is a reparametrization which turn equation of motion of the first scheme into the second set. Standard metric is again non-positive definite and we apply already known procedure to correct it. It will not be possible to solve Schrodinger equations in general with undefined K and V, so we consider one specific case which give us Landau model on a sphere with N = 2 supersymmetry, which put it apart from the superspherical Landau model, which have a superpshere for a target space but do not possess supersymmetry.

GAMMA-CONVERGENCE RESULTS FOR SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS WITH HOLES AND FOR GINZBURG-LANDAU MODELS FOR SUPERCONDUCTORS WITH NORMAL INCLUSIONS.ALZAID, SARA S. 06 1900 (has links)
We study a Ginzburg--Landau model for an inhomogeneous superconductor
in the singular limit as the Ginzburg--Landau parameter tends to infinity. The inhomogeneity is represented by a potential term which vanishes when the order parameter equals a given smooth function, the pinning term, which is assumed to become negative in finitely many smooth subdomains, the ''normally included'' regions. For large exterior magnetic field, we study the Gamma-limit of this inhomogeneous Ginzburg-Landau functional. The vanishing of the given smooth function near the inner boundaries imply that the associated operators are strictly but not uniformly elliptic, leading to many questions to be resolved near the boundaries of the normal regions. The method we use is an extension of many techniques including the product estimate from Sandier-Serfaty, Jacobian estimates from Jerrard-Soner and an appropriate Hodge decomposition adapted to our problem.
To resolve these problems, we first study the Gamma-limit in the simpler case when the pinning term is varying but bounded below by a positive constant. Second, we consider singular limits of the three-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau functional for a superconductor with thin-film geometry, in a constant external magnetic field. The superconducting domain is multiply connected and has a small characteristic thickness, and we consider the simultaneous limit as the thickness tends to zero and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter to infinity. We do this when the applied field is strong in its components tangential to the film domain.
Finally, we study the Gamma-limit of the inhomogeneous superconducting Ginzburg-Landau model with the pinning term vanishing on the boundary of the normal regions. / Thesis / Doctor of Science (PhD)

Analysis of singularities in elliptic equations : the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, the Lin-Ni-Takagi problem, the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis, and conformal geometry / Analyse des singularités dans les équations elliptiques : le modèle de superconductivité Ginzburg-Landau, le problème Lin-Ni-Takagi, le modèle Keller-Segel de chimiotaxie , et la géométrie conformeRomán, Carlos 15 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'analyse des singularités apparaissant dans des équations différentielles partielles elliptiques non linéaires découlant de la physique mathématique, de la biologie mathématique, et de la géométrie conforme. Les thèmes abordés sont le modèle de supraconductivité de Ginzburg-Landau, le problème de Lin-Ni-Takagi, le modèle de Keller-Segel de la chimiotaxie, et le problème de courbure scalaire prescrite. Le modèle de Ginzburg-Landau est une description phénoménologique de la supraconductivité. Une caractéristique essentielle des supraconducteurs de type II est la présence de vortex, qui apparaissent au-dessus d'une certaine valeur de la force du champ magnétique appliqué, appelée premier champ critique. Nous nous intéressons au régime de epsilon petit, où epsilon est l'inverse du paramètre de Ginzburg-Landau (une constante du matériau). Dans ce régime, les vortex sont au premier ordre des singularités topologiques de co-dimension 2. Nous fournissons une construction quantitative par approximation de vortex en dimension trois pour l'énergie de Ginzburg-Landau, ce qui donne une approximation des lignes de vortex ainsi qu'une borne inférieure pour l'énergie, qui est optimale au premier ordre et vérifiée au niveau epsilon. En utilisant ces outils, nous analysons ensuite le comportement des minimiseurs globaux en dessous et proche du premier champ critique. Nous montrons que, en dessous de cette valeur critique, les minimiseurs de l'énergie de Ginzburg-Landau sont des configurations sans vortex et que les minimiseurs, proche de cette valeur, ont une vorticité bornée. Le problème de Lin-Ni-Takagi apparait comme l'ombre (dans la littérature anglaise ``shadow'') du système de Gierer-Meinhardt d'équations de réaction-diffusion qui modélise la formation de motifs biologiques. Ce problème est celui de trouver des solutions positives d'une équation critique dans un domaine régulier et borné de dimension trois, avec une condition de Neumann homogène au bord. Dans cette thèse, nous construisons des solutions à ce problème présentant un comportement explosif en un point du domaine, lorsqu'un certain paramètre converge vers une valeur critique. La chimiotaxie est l'influence de substances chimiques dans un environnement sur le mouvement des organismes. Le modèle de Keller-Segel pour la chimiotaxie est un système de diffusion-advection composé de deux équations paraboliques couplées. Ici, nous nous intéressons aux états stationnaires radiaux de ce système. Nous sommes alors amenés à étudier une équation critique dans la boule unité de dimension 2, avec une condition de Neumann homogène au bord. Dans cette thèse, nous construisons plusieurs familles de solutions radiales qui explosent à l'origine de la boule, et se concentrent sur le bord et/ou sur une sphère intérieure, lorsqu' un certain paramètre converge vers zéro. Enfin, nous étudions le problème de la courbure scalaire prescrite. Étant donnée une variété Riemannienne compacte de dimension n, nous voulons trouver des métriques conformes dont la courbure scalaire soit une fonction prescrite, qui dépend d'un petit paramètre. Nous supposons que cette fonction a un point critique qui satisfait une hypothèse de platitude appropriée. Nous construisons plusieurs métriques, qui explosent lorsque le paramètre converge vers zéro, avec courbure scalaire prescrite. / This thesis is devoted to the analysis of singularities in nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics, mathematical biology, and conformal geometry. The topics treated are the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity, the Lin-Ni-Takagi problem, the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis, and the prescribed scalar curvature problem. The Ginzburg-Landau model is a phenomenological description of superconductivity. An essential feature of type-II superconductors is the presence of vortices, which appear above a certain value of the strength of the applied magnetic field called the first critical field. We are interested in the regime of small epsilon, where epsilon is the inverse of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter (a material constant). In this regime, the vortices are at main order co-dimension 2 topological singularities. We provide a quantitative three-dimensional vortex approximation construction for the Ginzburg-Landau energy, which gives an approximation of vortex lines coupled to a lower bound for the energy, which is optimal to leading order and valid at the epsilon-level. By using these tools we then analyze the behavior of global minimizers below and near the first critical field. We show that below this critical value, minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy are vortex-free configurations and that near this value, minimizers have bounded vorticity. The Lin-Ni-Takagi problem arises as the shadow of the Gierer-Meinhardt system of reaction-diffusion equations that models biological pattern formation. This problem is that of finding positive solutions of a critical equation in a bounded smooth three-dimensional domain, under zero Neumann boundary conditions. In this thesis, we construct solutions to this problem exhibiting single bubbling behavior at one point of the domain, as a certain parameter converges to a critical value. Chemotaxis is the influence of chemical substances in an environment on the movement of organisms. The Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis is an advection-diffusion system consisting of two coupled parabolic equations. Here, we are interested in radial steady states of this system. We are then led to study a critical equation in the two-dimensional unit ball, under zero Neumann boundary conditions. In this thesis, we construct several families of radial solutions which blow up at the origin of the ball and concentrate on the boundary and/or an interior sphere, as a certain parameter converges to zero. Finally, we study the prescribed scalar curvature problem. Given an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold, we are interested in finding bubbling metrics whose scalar curvature is a prescribed function, depending on a small parameter. We assume that this function has a critical point which satisfies a suitable flatness assumption. We construct several metrics, which blow-up as the parameter goes to zero, with prescribed scalar curvature.
