Proofs of some simplified characterizations of the ground states of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

arXiv:1102.0832 [math-ph] 4 Feb 2011

We justify some characterizations of the ground states of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates exhibited from numerical simulations. For ferromagnetic systems, we show the validity of the single-mode approximation (SMA). For an antiferromagnetic system with nonzero magnetization, we prove the vanishing of the $m_F=0$ component. In the end of the paper some remaining degenerate situations are also discussed. The proofs of the main results are all based on a simple observation, that a redistribution of masses among different components will reduce the kinetic energy.

arXiv:1102.0816 [math.QA] 4 Feb 2011

We interpret the GL_n equivariant cohomology of a partial flag variety of flags of length N in \C^n as the Bethe algebra of a suitable gl_N[t] module associated with the tensor power (\C^N)^{\otimes n}.

The collision dynamics of $^{17}O_2(^3\Sigma_g^-) +^{17}O_2(^3\Sigma_g^-)$ in the presence of a magnetic field is studied within the close-coupling formalism in the range between 10 nK and 50 mK. A recent global {\em ab initio} potential energy surface (PES) is employed and its effect on the dynami...
3. Theory of attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy of strong-field-generated ions
Strong-field ionization generally produces ions in a superposition of ionic eigenstates. This superposition is generally not fully coherent und must be described in terms of a density matrix. A recent experiment [E. Goulielmakis et al., Nature 466, 739 (2010)] employed attosecond transient absorpti...
