Universality for conformally invariant intersection exponents

Gregory Lawler, Wendelin Werner (2000)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We construct a class of conformally invariant measures on sets (or paths) and we study the critical exponents called intersection exponents associated to these measures. We show that these exponents exist and that they correspond to intersection exponents between planar Brownian motions. More precisely, using the definitions and results of our paper [27], we show that any set defined under such a conformal invariant measure behaves exactly as a pack (containing maybe a non-integer number) of Brownian...

Vacuum Structure of 2+1-Dimensional Gauge Theories

Manuel Asorey, Fernando Falceto, Jose Lopez, Gloria Luzon (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We analyse some non-perturbative properties of the Yang-Mills vacuum in two-dimensional spaces in the presence of Chern-Simons interactions. We show that the vacuum functional vanishes for some gauge field configurations. We have identified some of those nodal configurations which are characterized by the property of carrying a non-trivial magnetic charge. In abelian gauge theories this fact explains why magnetic monopoles are suppressed by Chern-Simons interactions. In non-abelian theories it suggests...

Vortex rings for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Fabrice Bethuel, G. Orlandi, Didier Smets (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We provide a mathematical proof of the existence of traveling vortex rings solutions to the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation in dimension N 3 . We also extend the asymptotic analysis of the free field Ginzburg–Landau equation to a larger class of equations, including the Ginzburg–Landau equation for superconductivity as well as the traveling wave equation for GP. In particular we rigorously derive a curvature equation for the concentration set (i.e. line vortices if N = 3 ).

Vorticity dynamics and turbulence models for large-Eddy simulations

Georges-Henri Cottet, Delia Jiroveanu, Bertrand Michaux (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider in this paper the problem of finding appropriate models for Large Eddy Simulations of turbulent incompressible flows from a mathematical point of view. The Smagorinsky model is analyzed and the vorticity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations is used to explore more efficient subgrid-scale models as minimal regularizations of these equations. Two classes of variants of the Smagorinsky model emerge from this approach: a model based on anisotropic turbulent viscosity and a selective...

Ward identities from recursion formulas for correlation functions in conformal field theory

Alexander Zuevsky (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

A conformal block formulation for the Zhu recursion procedure in conformal field theory which allows to find n -point functions in terms of the lower correlations functions is introduced. Then the Zhu reduction operators acting on a tensor product of VOA modules are defined. By means of these operators we show that the Zhu reduction procedure generates explicit forms of Ward identities for conformal blocks of vertex operator algebras. Explicit examples of Ward identities for the Heisenberg and free...
