چکیده

One of the central problems of mathematics in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century was the problem of uniformization of Riemann surfaces. The classics, Klein [1] and Poincaré [2], associated it with studying second-order ordinary differential equations with regular singular points. Poincaré proposed another approach to the uniformization problem [3]. It consists in finding a complete conformal metric of constant negative curvature, and it reduces to the global solvability of the Liouville equation, a special nonlinear partial differential equation of elliptic type on a Riemann surface. Here, we illustrate the relation between these two approaches and describe solutions of the Liouville equation corresponding to second-order ordinary differential equations with a real monodromy group. In the modern physics literature on the Liouville equation, it is rather commonly assumed that for the Fuchsian uniformization of a Riemann surface, it suffices to have a second-order ordinary differential equation with a real monodromy group. But the classics already knew that this is not the case, and they analyzed second-order ordinary differential equations with a real monodromy group on genus-0 Riemann surfaces with punctures in detail. Nonetheless, they did not consider the relation to the Liouville equation, and we partially fill this gap here. Namely, in Sec. 2, following the lectures [4], we briefly describe the theory of projective connections on a Riemann surface—an invariant method for defining a corresponding second-order ordinary differential equation with regular singular points. Following [5], [6], we review the main results on the Fuchsian uniformization, the Liouville equation, and the complex geometry of the moduli space. In Sec. 3, following [7], we present the modern classification of projective connections with a real monodromy group and review the results of V. I. Smirnov’s thesis [8] (Petrograd, 1918). This work, published in [9], [10], was the first

Asymptotic distributions of Neumann problem for Sturm-Liouville equation

In this paper we apply the Homotopy perturbation method to derive the higher-order asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions associated with the linear real second order equation of Sturm-liouville type on $[0,pi]$ with Neumann conditions $(y'(0)=y'(pi)=0)$ where $q$ is a real-valued Sign-indefinite number of $C^{1}[0,pi]$ and $lambda$ is a real parameter.

Holography and Brane Cosmology in Domain Wall Backgrounds

We consider a class of domain-wall black hole solutions in the dilaton gravity with a Liouville-type dilaton potential. Using the surface counterterm approach we calculate the stress-energy tensor of quantum field theory (QFT) corresponding to the domain-wall black hole in the domain-wall/QFT correspondence. A brane universe is investigated in the domain-wall black hole background. When the ten...

Quantum Evaporation of Liouville Black Holes

The classical field equations of a Liouville field coupled to gravity in two spacetime dimensions are shown to have black hole solutions. Exact solutions are also obtained when quantum corrections due to back reaction effects are included, modifying both the ADM mass and the black hole entropy. The thermodynamic limit breaks down before evaporation of the black hole is complete, indicating that...

The Uniqueness Theorem for the Solutions of Dual Equations of Sturm-Liouville Problems with Singular Points and Turning Points

In this paper, linear second-order differential equations of Sturm-Liouville type having a finite number of singularities and turning points in a finite interval are investigated. First, we obtain the dual equations associated with the Sturm-Liouville equation. Then, we prove the uniqueness theorem for the solutions of dual initial value problems.

A new fractional sub-equation method for solving the space-time fractional differential equations in mathematical physics

In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...
