Adiabatic Invariance and the Regularity of Perturbations
نویسنده
چکیده
A loss in smoothness of a switching process decreases the accuracy of an adiabatic invariant. Here we show that for classical Hamiltonian systems the degree of smoothness can be observed in the signal.

Invariance of Fréchet frames under perturbation
Motivating the perturbations of frames in Hilbert and Banach spaces, in this paper we introduce the invariance of Fr'echet frames under perturbation. Also we show that for any Fr'echet spaces, there is a Fr'echet frame and any element in these spaces has a series expansion.
متن کاملBreakdown of adiabatic invariance in spherical tokamaks
Thermal ions in spherical tokamaks have two adiabatic invariants: the magnetic moment and the longitudinal invariant. For hot ions, variations in magnetic-field strength over a gyro period can become sufficiently large to cause breakdown of the adiabatic invariance. The magnetic moment is more sensitive to perturbations than the longitudinal invariant and there exists an intermediate regime, su...
متن کاملTesting B-ball Cosmology with the Cmb
In D-term inflation models, the fluctuations of squark fields in the flat directions give rise to isocurvature density fluctuations stored in the Affleck-Dine condensate. After the condensate breaks up in B-balls, these can be perturbations in the baryon number, or, in the case where the present neutralino density comes directly from B-ball decay, perturbations in the number of dark matter neut...
متن کاملConserved non-linear quantities in cosmology
We give a detailed and improved presentation of our recently proposed formalism for non-linear perturbations in cosmology, based on a covariant and fully non-perturbative approach. We work, in particular, with a covector combining the gradients of the energy density and of the local number of e-folds to obtain a non-linear generalization of the familiar linear uniform density perturbation. We s...
متن کاملThe Invariance of the Index of Elliptic Operators
In 1963 Atiyah and Singer proved the famous Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which states, among other things, that the space of elliptic pseudodifferential operators is such that the collection of operators with any given index forms a connected subset. Contained in this statement is the somewhat more specialized claim that the index of an elliptic operator must be invariant under sufficiently sma...
