Théorie spectrale inverse pour les opérateurs de Toeplitz 1D / Inverse spectral theory for 1D Toeplitz operatorsLe Floch, Yohann 19 June 2014 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous prouvons des résultats de théorie spectrale, directe et inverse, dans la limite semi-classique, pour les opérateurs de Toeplitz autoadjoints sur les surfaces. Pour les opérateurs pseudo-différentiels, les résultats en question sont déjà connus, et il est naturel de vouloir les étendre aux opérateurs de Toeplitz. Les conditions de Bohr-Sommerfeld usuelles, qui caractérisent les valeurs propres proches d'une valeur régulière du symbole principal, ont été obtenues il y a quelques années seulement pour les opérateurs de Toeplitz. Notre contribution consiste en l'extension de ces conditions près de valeurs critiques non dégénérées. Nous traitons le cas d'une valeur critique elliptique à l'aide d'une technique de forme normale ; l'opérateur modèle est la réalisation de l'oscillateur harmonique sur l'espace de Bargmann, dont le spectre est bien connu. Dans le cas d'une valeur critique hyperbolique, la forme normale ne suffit plus et nous complétons l'étude en faisant appel à des arguments dus à Colin de Verdière et Parisse, à qui l'on doit le résultat analogue dans le cas pseudo-différentiel. Enfin, nous établissons un résultat de théorie spectrale inverse pour les opérateurs de Toeplitz autoadjoints sur les surfaces ; plus précisément, nous montrons que sous certaines hypothèses génériques, la connaissance du spectre à l'ordre deux dans la limite semi-classique permet de retrouver le symbole principal à symplectomorphisme près. Ce résultat s'appuie en grande partie sur l'écriture des règles de Bohr-Sommerfeld. / In this thesis, we prove some direct and inverse spectral results, in the semiclassical limit, for self-adjoint Toeplitz operators on surfaces. For pseudodifferential operators, these results are already known, and it is natural to expect their extension to the Toeplitz setting. The usual Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions, characterizing the eigenvalues close to a regular value of the principal symbol, have been obtained a few years ago for Toeplitz operators. Our contribution consists in extending these conditions near nondegenerate critical values. We handle the case of an elliptic value thanks to a normal form technique; the model operator is the realization of the harmonic oscillator in the Bargmann space, whose spectrum is well-known. In the case of a hyperbolic value, the normal form is no longer sufficient and we conclude by using additional arguments due to Colin de Verdière and Parisse, who derived the analogous result for pseudodifferential operators. Finally, we write an inverse spectral result for self-adjoint Toeplitz operators on surfaces; more precisely, we show that under some generic hypotheses, the knowledge of the spectrum up to order two in the semiclassical limit allows to recover the principal symbol up to symplectomorphism. This result essentially relies on Bohr-Sommerfeld rules.

Análogos de gravitação semi-clássica em física da matéria condensada / Analogue models of semi-classical gravity in condensate matter physicsLima, William Couto Corrêa de 04 March 2008 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objeto de estudo sistemas da física da matéria condensada que sejam capazes de simular sistemas gravitacionais, tais como buracos negros e universos em expansão, onde processos quânticos tomam parte. Neste estudo nos debruçamos principalmente sobre o modelo do fluido e condensados de Bose-Einstein. No modelo do fluido exploramos a geometria efetiva que surge e os problemas de back-reaction e dos modos trans-planckianos de campos quânticos. No modelo baseado em condensados exploramos sua faceta cosmológica e a possibilidade de campos maciços. Além destes dois modelos de grande relevância na literatura, ainda expomos os análogos em cordas elásticas e os baseados em ondas na superfícies de fluidos e uma análise geral baseada no formalismo lagrangeano para campos. / This dissertation has as object of study systems of condensate-matter physics which can simulate gravitational systems like black holes and expanding universes where quantum processes take place. In this study we lay attention mainly on the fluid model and on Bose-Einstein-condensate-based models. In the fluid model we explore the features of the emergent geometry and other problems like the back-reaction and the trans-planckian modes of quantum fields. In the condensate-based models we explore their cosmological aspects and the possibility for massive fields. Moreover, we shall present two other models, the elastic string and the surface-wave-based models in fluids, and a very general analysis based on the Lagrangean formalism for fields.

The Calderón problem for connectionsCekić, Mihajlo January 2017 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the inverse problem of determining a unitary connection $A$ on a Hermitian vector bundle $E$ of rank $m$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map $\Lambda_A$ of the associated connection Laplacian $d_A^*d_A$. The connection is to be determined up to a unitary gauge equivalence equal to the identity at the boundary. In our first approach to the problem, we restrict our attention to conformally transversally anisotropic (cylindrical) manifolds $M \Subset \mathbb{R}\times M_0$. Our strategy can be described as follows: we construct the special Complex Geometric Optics solutions oscillating in the vertical direction, that concentrate near geodesics and use their density in an integral identity to reduce the problem to a suitable $X$-ray transform on $M_0$. The construction is based on our proof of existence of Gaussian Beams on $M_0$, which are a family of smooth approximate solutions to $d_A^*d_Au = 0$ depending on a parameter $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$, bounded in $L^2$ norm and concentrating in measure along geodesics when $\tau \to \infty$, whereas the small remainder (that makes the solution exact) can be shown to exist by using suitable Carleman estimates. In the case $m = 1$, we prove the recovery of the connection given the injectivity of the $X$-ray transform on $0$ and $1$-forms on $M_0$. For $m > 1$ and $M_0$ simple we reduce the problem to a certain two dimensional $\textit{new non-abelian ray transform}$. In our second approach, we assume that the connection $A$ is a $\textit{Yang-Mills connection}$ and no additional assumption on $M$. We construct a global gauge for $A$ (possibly singular at some points) that ties well with the DN map and in which the Yang-Mills equations become elliptic. By using the unique continuation property for elliptic systems and the fact that the singular set is suitably small, we are able to propagate the gauges globally. For the case $m = 1$ we are able to reconstruct the connection, whereas for $m > 1$ we are forced to make the technical assumption that $(M, g)$ is analytic in order to prove the recovery. Finally, in both approaches we are using the vital fact that is proved in this work: $\Lambda_A$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $1$ acting on sections of $E|_{\partial M}$, whose full symbol determines the full Taylor expansion of $A$ at the boundary.

High accuracy computational methods for the semiclassical Schrödinger equationSingh, Pranav January 2018 (has links)
The computation of Schrödinger equations in the semiclassical regime presents several enduring challenges due to the presence of the small semiclassical parameter. Standard approaches for solving these equations commence with spatial discretisation followed by exponentiation of the discretised Hamiltonian via exponential splittings. In this thesis we follow an alternative strategy${-}$we develop a new technique, called the symmetric Zassenhaus splitting procedure, which involves directly splitting the exponential of the undiscretised Hamiltonian. This technique allows us to design methods that are highly efficient in the semiclassical regime. Our analysis takes place in the Lie algebra generated by multiplicative operators and polynomials of the differential operator. This Lie algebra is completely characterised by Jordan polynomials in the differential operator, which constitute naturally symmetrised differential operators. Combined with the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded structure of this Lie algebra, the symmetry results in skew-Hermiticity of the exponents for Zassenhaus-style splittings, resulting in unitary evolution and numerical stability. The properties of commutator simplification and height reduction in these Lie algebras result in a highly effective form of $\textit{asymptotic splitting:} $exponential splittings where consecutive terms are scaled by increasing powers of the small semiclassical parameter. This leads to high accuracy methods whose costs grow quadratically with higher orders of accuracy. Time-dependent potentials are tackled by developing commutator-free Magnus expansions in our Lie algebra, which are subsequently split using the Zassenhaus algorithm. We present two approaches for developing arbitrarily high-order Magnus--Zassenhaus schemes${-}$one where the integrals are discretised using Gauss--Legendre quadrature at the outset and another where integrals are preserved throughout. These schemes feature high accuracy, allow large time steps, and the quadratic growth of their costs is found to be superior to traditional approaches such as Magnus--Lanczos methods and Yoshida splittings based on traditional Magnus expansions that feature nested commutators of matrices. An analysis of these operatorial splittings and expansions is carried out by characterising the highly oscillatory behaviour of the solution.

Coulomb breakup of halo nuclei by a time-dependent methodCapel, Pierre 29 January 2004 (has links)
Halo nuclei are among the strangest nuclear structures.<p>They are viewed as a core containing most of the nucleons<p>surrounded by one or two loosely bound nucleons. <p>These have a high probability of presence at a large distance<p>from the core.<p>Therefore, they constitute a sort of halo surrounding the other nucleons.<p>The core, remaining almost unperturbed by the presence<p>of the halo is seen as a usual nucleus.<p><p><P><p><p>The Coulomb breakup reaction is one of the most useful<p>tools to study these nuclei.

Quelques asymptotiques spectrales pour le Laplacien de Dirichlet : triangles, cônes et couches coniques / A few spectral asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian : triangles, cones and conical layersOurmières-Bonafos, Thomas 01 October 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude du spectre de l'opérateur de Laplace avec conditions de Dirichlet dans différents domaines du plan ou de l'espace. Dans un premier temps on s'intéresse à des triangles asymptotiquement plats et des cônes de petite ouverture. Ces problèmes admettent une reformulation semi-classique et nous donnons des développements asymptotiques à tout ordre des premières valeurs et fonctions propres. Ce type de résultat est déjà connu pour des domaines minces à profil régulier. Pour les triangles et les cônes, on prouve que le problème admet maintenant deux échelles. Dans un second temps, on étudie une famille de couches coniques indexées par leur ouverture. Là encore, on s'intéresse à la limite semi-classique quand l'ouverture tend vers zéro: on donne un développement asymptotique à deux termes des premières valeurs propres et on démontre un résultat de localisation des fonctions propres associées. Nous donnons également, à ouverture fixée, un équivalent du nombre de valeurs propres sous le seuil du spectre essentiel. / This thesis deals with the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in various two or three dimensional domains. First, we consider asymptotically flat triangles and cones with small aperture. These problems admit a semi-classical formulation and we provide asymptotic expansions at any order for the first eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions. These type of results is already known for thin domains with smooth profiles. For triangles and cones, we show that the problem admits now two different scales. Second, we study a family of conical layers parametrized by their aperture. Again, we consider the semi-classical limit when the aperture tends to zero: We provide a two-term asymptotics of the first eigenvalues and we prove a localization result about the associated eigenfunctions. We also estimate, for each chosen aperture, the number of eigenvalues below the threshold of the essential spectrum.

Dualities, Symmetries and Unbroken Phases in String Theory : Probing the Composite Nature of the String / Dualiteter, Symmetrier och Obrutna Faser i Strängteori : En Utforskning av Strängens Sammansatta NaturEngquist, Johan January 2005 (has links)
The thesis treats aspects of string/M-theory in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and their supersymmetric completions. By applying the AdS/CFT correspondence, as well as models of spin chains and singletons, we try to attain a better understanding of the underlying symmetries and the unbroken phases of string/M-theory. Tensionless string/M-theory in anti-de Sitter spacetime is argued to imply a higher spin gauge symmetry enhancement and to be described by gauged sigma models of multi-singletons as well as by closed singleton strings. Vasiliev's weakly projected equations of symmetric massless higher spin gauge fields in the vector oscillator formulation is shown to follow from a deformation of the singleton model. Various four dimensional minimal as well as non-minimal supersymmetric higher spin gauge theories in the spinor formulation are examined. The minimal higher spin gauge theory based on the symmetry algebra hs(1|4) is elaborated on in an N=1 superspace, illustrating the remarkable fact that the choice of base manifold is not fixed in unfolded dynamics. The importance of the representations saturating the unitarity bounds in anti-de Sitter spacetime is stressed throughout the thesis, with particular emphasis on the singleton and the massless representations. Singletons, and hence massless states, are shown to appear as bound states on the string or p-brane and are localized at cusps. Furthermore, we examine semiclassical string solutions in Type IIB String Theory in AdS(5) x S(5) and their boundary duals in N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory in d=4 which are constituted out of thermodynamic composite operators. By using integrable spin chain techniques and Bäcklund transformations in the field theory and in the string theory, respectively, the one-loop anomalous dimensions as well as the tower of conserved charges of the composite operators are shown to be in agreement with the energies and the tower of conserved charges associated with the dual string states.
