Previous issue date: 2018-02-27 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) / A integrabilidade da hierarquia de Korteweg de-Vries modificada supersimétrica com N=1 (smKdV) na presença de defeitos é investigada através da construção de sua transformação de Bäcklund supersimétrica. A construção de tal transformação é realizada usando essencialmente dois métodos: a abordagem da matriz de defeito e empregando o operador de recursão. Primeiramente, empregamos a matriz de defeitos associada à hierarquia, que é a mesma para o modelo sinh-Gordon supersimétrico (sshG). O método é geral e válido para todos os fluxos da hierarquia e como exemplo derivamos explicitamente as equações de Bäcklund para os primeiros fluxos, são eles t_1, t_3 e t_5. Em segundo lugar, o operador de recursão relacionando tempos consecutivos é derivado e mostrados que ele relaciona também as transformações de Bäcklund. Finalmente, esta transformação de Bäcklund supersimétrica é empregada para introduzir defeitos do tipo I para a hierarquia supersimétrica mKdV. Outros aspectos de integrabilidade são considerados, através da construção das quantidades conservadas modificadas, derivadas da matriz de defeito. / The integrability of the N=1 supersymmetric modified Korteweg de-Vries (smKdV) hierarchy in the presence of defects is investigated through the construction of its super Bäcklund transformation. The construction of such transformation is performed by essentially using two methods: the Bäcklund-defect matrix approach and the by employing the recursion operator. Firstly, we employ the defect matrix associated to the hierarchy which turns out to be the same for the supersymmetric sinh-Gordon (sshG) model. The method is general for all flows and as an example we derive explicitly the Bäcklund equations in components for the first few flows of the hierarchy, namely t_1, t_3 and t_5. Secondly, the recursion operator relating consecutive time flows is derived and shown to relate their Bäcklund transformations. Finally, this super Bäcklund transformation is employed to introduce type I defects for the supersymmetric mKdV hierarchy. Further integrability aspects by considering modified conserved quantities are derived from the defect matrix. / CNPq: 141204/2014-1

Discrete Lax pairs, reductions and hierarchiesHay, Mike January 2008 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). / The term `Lax pair' refers to linear systems (of various types) that are related to nonlinear equations through a compatibility condition. If a nonlinear equation possesses a Lax pair, then the Lax pair may be used to gather information about the behaviour of the solutions to the nonlinear equation. Conserved quantities, asymptotics and even explicit solutions to the nonlinear equation, amongst other information, can be calculated using a Lax pair. Importantly, the existence of a Lax pair is a signature of integrability of the associated nonlinear equation. While Lax pairs were originally devised in the context of continuous equations, Lax pairs for discrete integrable systems have risen to prominence over the last three decades or so and this thesis focuses entirely on discrete equations. Famous continuous systems such as the Korteweg de Vries equation and the Painleve equations all have integrable discrete analogues, which retrieve the original systems in the continuous limit. Links between the different types of integrable systems are well known, such as reductions from partial difference equations to ordinary difference equations. Infinite hierarchies of integrable equations can be constructed where each equation is related to adjacent members of the hierarchy and the order of the equations can be increased arbitrarily. After a literature review, the original material in this thesis is instigated by a completeness study that finds all possible Lax pairs of a certain type, including one for the lattice modified Korteweg de Vries equation. The lattice modified Korteweg de Vries equation is subsequently reduced to several q-discrete Painleve equations, and the reductions are used to form Lax pairs for those equations. The series of reductions suggests the presence of a hierarchy of equations, where each equation is obtained by applying a recursion relation to an earlier member of the hierarchy, this is confirmed using expansions within the Lax pairs for the q-Painleve equations. Lastly, some explorations are included into fake Lax pairs, as well as sets of equivalent nonlinear equations with similar Lax pairs.

Yang-Baxter equations for systems with boundaries and defectsAndersson, Mattias January 2009 (has links)
The Yang-Baxter equation appear in various situations in physics and mathematics. For example it arises as a consistency condition in integrable models. The reflection equation (boundary Yang-Baxter equation) is a generalization of the Yang-Baxter equation to systems with a boundary. A further generalization to systems with defects which admits both reflection and transmission can be made, which results in reflection-transmission Yang-Baxter equations.In this thesis the Yang-Baxter equation and the reflection equation are presented. Representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra and the blob algebra are used to construct matrices which solve the respective equations. For the reflection-transmission Yang-Baxter equations, steps toward a solution are taken by using a similar approach as for the first two cases, namely by finding an algebra whose representations can be used to construct matrices which solve the equations.

Studies in integrable quantum lattice models and classical hierarchiesZuparic, Matthew Luke January 2009 (has links)
The following work is an exploration into certain topics in the broad world of integrable models, both classical and quantum, and consists of two main parts of roughly equal length. The first part, consisting of chapters 1-3, concerns itself mainly with correlations between results in classical hierarchies and quantum lattice models. The second part, consisting of chapters 4-6, deals almost entirely with deriving results concerned with quantum lattice models.

Stochastic evolution inclusionsBocharov, Boris January 2010 (has links)
This work is concerned with an evolution inclusion of a form, in a triple of spaces \V -> H -> V*", where U is a continuous non-decreasing process, M is a locally square-integrable martingale and the operators A (multi-valued) and B satisfy some monotonicity condition, a coercivity condition and a condition on growth in u. An existence and uniqueness theorem is proved for the solutions, using semi-implicit time-discretization schemes. Examples include evolution equations and inclusions driven by square integrable Levy martingales.

On charge 3 cyclic monopolesD'Avanzo, Antonella January 2010 (has links)
Monopoles are solutions of an SU(2) gauge theory in R3 satisfying a lower bound for energy and certain asymptotic conditions, which translate as topological properties encoded in their charge. Using methods from integrable systems, monopoles can be described in algebraic-geometric terms via their spectral curve, i.e. an algebraic curve, given as a polynomial P in two complex variables, satisfying certain constraints. In this thesis we focus on the Ercolani-Sinha formulation, where the coefficients of P have to satisfy the Ercolani-Sinha constraints, given as relations amongst periods. In this thesis a particular class of such monopoles is studied, namely charge 3 monopoles with a symmetry by C3, the cyclic group of order 3. This class of cyclic 3-monopoles is described by the genus 4 spectral curve X , subject to the Ercolani-Sinha constraints: the aim of the present work is to establish the existence of such monopoles, which translates into solving the Ercolani-Sinha constraints for X . Exploiting the symmetry of the system,we manage to recast the problem entirely in terms of a genus 2 hyperelliptic curve X, the (unbranched) quotient of X by C3 . A crucial step to this aim involves finding a basis forH1( X; Z), with particular symmetry properties according to a theorem of Fay. This gives a simple formfor the period matrix of X ; moreover, results by Fay and Accola are used to reduce the Ercolani-Sinha constraints to hyperelliptic ones on X. We solve these constraints onX numerically, by iteration using the tetrahedral monopole solution as starting point in the moduli space. We use the Arithmetic-GeometricMean method to find the periods onX: this method iswell understood for a genus 2 curve with real branchpoints; in this work we propose an extension to the situation where the branchpoints appear in complex conjugate pairs, which is the case for X. We are hence able to establish the existence of a curve of solutions corresponding to cyclic 3-monopoles.

Integrability in submanifold geometryClarke, Daniel January 2012 (has links)
This thesis concerns the relationship of submanifold geometry, in both the smooth and discrete sense, to representation theory and the theory of integrable systems. We obtain Lie theoretic generalisations of the transformation theory of projectively and Lie applicable surfaces, and M�obius-flat submanifolds of the conformal n-sphere. In the former case, we propose a discretisation. We develop a projective approach to centro-ane hypersurfaces, analogous to the conformal approach to submanifolds in spaceforms. This yields a characterisation of centro-ane hypersurfaces amongst M�obius-flat projective hypersurfaces using polynomial conserved quantities. We also propose a discretisation of curved flats in symmetric spaces. After developing the transformation theory for this, we see how Darboux pairs of discrete isothermicnets arise as discrete curved flats in the symmetric space of opposite point pairs. We show how discrete curves in the 2-sphere fit into this framework.

Bethe Ansatz and Open Spin-1/2 XXZ Quantum Spin ChainMurgan, Rajan 12 April 2008 (has links)
The open spin-1/2 XXZ quantum spin chain with general integrable boundary terms is a fundamental integrable model. Finding a Bethe Ansatz solution for this model has been a subject of intensive research for many years. Such solutions for other simpler spin chain models have been shown to be essential for calculating various physical quantities, e.g., spectrum, scattering amplitudes, finite size corrections, anomalous dimensions of certain field operators in gauge field theories, etc. The first part of this dissertation focuses on Bethe Ansatz solutions for open spin chains with nondiagonal boundary terms. We present such solutions for some special cases where the Hamiltonians contain two free boundary parameters. The functional relation approach is utilized to solve the models at roots of unity, i.e., for bulk anisotropy values eta = i pi/(p+1) where p is a positive integer. This approach is then used to solve open spin chain with the most general integrable boundary terms with six boundary parameters, also at roots of unity, with no constraint among the boundary parameters. The second part of the dissertation is entirely on applications of the newly obtained Bethe Ansatz solutions. We first analyze the ground state and compute the boundary energy (order 1 correction) for all the cases mentioned above. We extend the analysis to study certain excited states for the two-parameter case. We investigate low-lying excited states with one hole and compute the corresponding Casimir energy (order 1/N correction) and conformal dimensions for these states. These results are later generalized to many-hole states. Finally, we compute the boundary S-matrix for one-hole excitations and show that the scattering amplitudes found correspond to the well known results of Ghoshal and Zamolodchikov for the boundary sine-Gordon model provided certain identifications between the lattice parameters (from the spin chain Hamiltonian) and infrared (IR) parameters (from the boundary sine-Gordon S-matrix) are made.
