New experiments on neutral K-mesons might turn out to be promising tests of the hypothesis of Complete Positivity in the physics of open quantum systems. In particular, a consistent dynamical description of correlated neutral kaons seems to ask for Complete Positivity.
There is an obvious topological obstruction for a finite energy unimodular harmonic extension of a -valued function defined on the boundary of a bounded regular domain of . When such extensions do not exist, we use the Ginzburg-Landau relaxation procedure. We prove that, up to a subsequence, a sequence of Ginzburg-Landau minimizers, as the coupling parameter tends to infinity, converges to a unimodular harmonic map away from a codimension-2 minimal current minimizing the area within the homology...
This is an exposition of a general machinery developed by M. G. Eastwood, T. N. Bailey, C. R. Graham which analyses some real integral transforms using complex methods. The machinery deals with double fibrations complex manifold; totally real, real-analytic submanifold;...
Molecular dynamics simulation method for the study of condensed phases of matter is described in this paper. Computer programs for the simulation of atomic motion have been developed. Time-saving techniques, like the cellular method have been incorporated in order to optimize the available computer resources. We have applied this method to the simulation of Argon near its melting point. Differences in the structure, thermodynamic properties and time correlation functions of solid and liquid phases...
