Subharmonic Solutions for First-order Hamiltonian Systems
In this article, we study the existence of periodic and subharmonic solutions for a class of non-autonomous first-order Hamiltonian systems such that the nonlinearity has a growth at infinity faster than |x|α, 0 ≤ α < 1. We also study the minimality of periods for such solutions. Our results are illustrated by specific examples. The proofs are based on the least action principle and a generaliz...
متن کاملFirst-order wetting transition at finite contact angle.
The wetting of a polymer brush by a melt of similar chains can have a window of complete wetting with a classical allophobic wetting transition at low grafting density sigma and an autophobic one at high sigma. However, when the melt chains are much longer than the brush chains, the contact angle alpha goes through a nonzero minimum where partial differential alpha/ partial differential sigma h...
متن کاملHigher-order effective Hamiltonian for light atomic systems
Krzysztof Pachucki Institute of Theoretical Physics, Warsaw University, Hoża 69, 00-681 Warsaw, Poland (Dated: November 18, 2004) Abstract We present the derivation of the effective higher-order Hamiltonian, which gives mα6 contribution to energy levels of an arbitrary light atom. The derivation is based on the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation of the one-particle Dirac Hamiltonian followed by pe...
متن کاملGlueball Spectrum from an Effective Hamiltonian
Using simple and general arguments we propose an effective Hamiltonian for the description of low-energy pure QCD. The Hamiltonian is a function of spatially constant collective modes. Its eigenstates can be organized into bands classified by the irreducible representations of an O(8) group. The latter also determine parity and charge conjugation of the states. The energy spectrum agrees well w...
متن کاملEffective potential and first-order phase transitions: Beyond leading order.
Scenarios for electroweak baryogenesis require an understanding of the effective potential at finite temperature near a first-order electroweak phase transition. Working in Landau gauge, we present a calculation of the dominant two-loop corrections to the ring-improved one-loop potential in the formal limit g 4 ≪ λ ≪ g 2 , where λ is the Higgs self-coupling and g is the electroweak coupling. Th...
