Intrinsic self-rotation of BEC Bloch wave packets
The semiclassical theory of Bloch wave packet dynamics predicts a self-rotation angular momentum in asymmetric periodic potentials, which has never been observed. We show how this is manifested in Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in optical lattices. Displacing the wave packet to a corner of the Brillouin zone we obtain a current distribution with a non-quantized angular momentum, independent of t...
متن کاملWave packets, rays, and the role of real group velocity in absorbing media
In an absorbing medium, where the vector W5]v/]k usually is complex for real values of the wave vector k, the group velocity W may become real for some complex values of k. The role of real group velocity in the propagation of one-dimensional wave packets in homogeneous absorbing media is examined. Applying the saddle point method to an analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the Gaussian wave p...
متن کاملOn the group-velocity property for wave- activity conservation laws
The density and the flux of wave-activity conservation laws are generally required to satisfy the group-velocity property: under the WKB approximation (i.e., for nearly monochromatic small-amplitude waves in a slowly varying medium), the flux divided by the density equals the group velocity. It is shown that this property is automatically satisfied if, under the WKB approximation, the only sour...
متن کاملOn a conjecture of a bound for the exponent of the Schur multiplier of a finite $p$-group
Let $G$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(G)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. We show that $exp(M^{(c)}(G))$ divides $exp(G)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $M^{(c)}(G)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $G$. This implies that $exp( M(G))$ divides $exp(G)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. Moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...
متن کاملMigration Velocity Analysis Using Wave Packets - Geometric Approach
Current algorithms for imaging seismic reflection data can be subdivided into two classes: Kirchhoff (generalized Radon transform) and wave-equation (double-square-root and reverse-time) migration. Kirchhoff type methods rely on asymptotic and ray-geometrical considerations. Wave-equation imaging algorithms (one-way or twoway) appear to be more robust in the case of complicated velocity models ...
