چکیده
In his Comment [1] to my paper [2] Rutenberg notes that " the basis of my analysis of conserved scalar phase-ordering dynamics, to apply only the global conservation constraint dxψ = N, (1) is incorrect ". Because " for physical conserved systems, which evolve by mass transport, the stronger local conservation law embodied by continuity equation " ∂ψ/∂t = −∇j. (2) This question needs clarification. Replying shortly, I say that my theory has no any contradiction with the local conservation law (2). It describes the evolution of all three types of thermo-dynamic systems: without conservation law (NCOP), with global conservation law (1) (GCOP) and with local one (2) (LCOP). In these all cases the order parameter (OP) δψ(x, t) = ψ(x, t) − ψ 0 (x) dynamics near the extremal ψ 0 (x) is described by the same evolution equation ∂ψ/∂t = −ΓδF /δψ (3) with different thermodynamic potential functionals F {ψ}. For NCOP-system F {ψ} ≡ F {ψ} = dxf {ψ}, where F {ψ}is a free energy functional and f {ψ} is a specific free energy one. For GCOP-and LCOP-systems F {ψ} ≡ Ω{ψ} = F − µ g N , where the constant µ g is a global chemical potential defined by (1) and equilibrium condition δF /δψ| ψ=ψ0(x) = 0. The difference between F and Ω is that the conservation law (1) is taken into account. It should be noted that for GCOP and LCOP-systems (1) must be also used directly for selection 1

Making use of symmetry properties and known exact results for the Hubbard Model on bipartite lattice, we show that (1) there is no phase separation for repulsive coupling at low dopings, (2) phase separation and superconductivity co-exist in the ground states for attractive coupling in a range of filling fractions.

We construct a large class of periodic instantons. Conjecturally we produce all periodic instantons. This confirms a conjecture of Garland and Murray that relates periodic instantons to orbits of the loop group acting on an extension of its Lie algebra. AMS classification: 81T13, 53C07, 55P10
