An Introduction to Lie AlgebraTalley, Amanda Renee 01 December 2017 (has links)
An (associative) algebra is a vector space over a field equipped with an associative, bilinear multiplication. By use of a new bilinear operation, any associative algebra morphs into a nonassociative abstract Lie algebra, where the new product in terms of the given associative product, is the commutator. The crux of this paper is to investigate the commutator as it pertains to the general linear group and its subalgebras. This forces us to examine properties of ring theory under the lens of linear algebra, as we determine subalgebras, ideals, and solvability as decomposed into an extension of abelian ideals, and nilpotency, as decomposed into the lower central series and eventual zero subspace. The map sending the Lie algebra L to a derivation of L is called the adjoint representation, where a given Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if the adjoint is nilpotent. Our goal is to prove Engel's Theorem, which states that if all elements of L are ad-nilpotent, then L is nilpotent.

Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type in 2 + 1 dimensions and their dispersive deformationsStoilov, Nikola January 2011 (has links)
Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type occur in a wide range of applications including fluid dynamics, the Whitham averaging procedure and the theory of Frobenius manifolds. In 1 + 1 dimensions, the requirement of the integrability of such systems by the generalised hodograph transform implies that integrable Hamiltonians depend on a certain number of arbitrary functions of two variables. On the contrary, in 2 + 1 dimensions the requirement of the integrability by the method of hydrodynamic reductions, which is a natural analogue of the generalised hodograph transform in higher dimensions, leads to finite-dimensional moduli spaces of integrable Hamiltonians. We classify integrable two-component Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type for all existing classes of differential-geometric Poisson brackets in 2D, establishing a parametrisation of integrable Hamiltonians via elliptic/hypergeometric functions. Our approach is based on the Godunov-type representation of Hamiltonian systems, and utilises a novel construction of Godunov's systems in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions. Furthermore, we develop a theory of integrable dispersive deformations of these Hamiltonian systems following a scheme similar to that proposed by Dubrovin and his collaborators in 1 + 1 dimensions. Our results show that the multi-dimensional situation is far more rigid, and generic Hamiltonians are not deformable. As an illustration we discuss a particular class of two-component Hamiltonian systems, establishing triviality of first order deformations and classifying Hamiltonians possessing nontrivial deformations of the second order.

Quantum confinement in low-dimensional Dirac materialsDowning, Charles Andrew January 2015 (has links)
This thesis is devoted to quantum confinement effects in low-dimensional Dirac materials. We propose a variety of schemes in which massless Dirac fermions, which are notoriously diffcult to manipulate, can be trapped in a bound state. Primarily we appeal for the use of external electromagnetic fields. As a consequence of this endeavor, we find several interesting condensed matter analogues to effects from relativistic quantum mechanics, as well as entirely new effects and a possible novel state of matter. For example, in our study of the effective Coulomb interaction in one dimension, we demonstrate how atomic collapse may arise in carbon nanotubes or graphene nanoribbons, and describe the critical importance of the size of the band gap. Meanwhile, inspired by groundbreaking experiments investigating the effects of strain, we propose how to confine the elusive charge carriers in so-called velocity barriers, which arise due to a spatially inhomogeneous Fermi velocity triggered by a strained lattice. We also present a new and beautiful quasi-exactly solvable model of quantum mechanics, showing the possibilities for confinement in magnetic quantum dots are not as stringent as previously thought. We also reveal that Klein tunnelling is not as pernicious as widely believed, as we show bound states can arise from purely electrostatic means at the Dirac point energy. Finally, we show from an analytical solution to the quasi-relativistic two-body problem, how an exotic same-particle paring can occur and speculate on its implications if found in the laboratory.

Asymptotics of Eigenpolynomials of Exactly-Solvable OperatorsBergkvist, Tanja January 2007 (has links)
<p>The main topic of this doctoral thesis is asymptotic properties of zeros in polynomial families arising as eigenfunctions to exactly-solvable differential operators. The study was initially inspired by a number of striking results from computer experiments performed by G. Masson and B. Shapiro for a more restrictive class of operators. Our research is also motivated by a classical question going back to S. Bochner on a general classification of differential operators possessing an infinite sequence of orthogonal eigenpolynomials. In general however, the sequence of eigenpolynomials of an exactly-solvable operator is not an orthogonal system and it can therefore not be studied by means of the extensive theory known for such systems. Our study can thus be considered as the first steps to a natural generalization of the asymptotic behaviour of the roots of classical orthogonal polynomials. Exactly-solvable operators split into two major classes: non-degenerate and degenerate. We prove that in the former case, as the degree tends to infinity, the zeros of the eigenpolynomial are distributed according to a certain probability measure which is compactly supported on a tree and which depends only on the leading term of the operator. Computer experiments indicate the existence of a limiting root measure in the degenerate case too, but that it is compactly supported (conjecturally on a tree) only after an appropriate scaling which is conjectured (and partially proved) in this thesis. One of the main technical tools in this thesis is the Cauchy transform of a probability measure, which in the considered situation satisfies an algebraic equation. Due to the connection between the asymptotic root measure and its Cauchy transform it is therefore possible to obtain detailed information on the limiting zero distribution.</p>
