Planck Constant as Spectral Parameter in Integrable Systems and KZB Equations

We construct special rational ${\rm gl}_N$ Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equations with $\tilde N$ punctures by deformation of the corresponding quantum ${\rm gl}_N$ rational $R$-matrix. They have two parameters. The limit of the first one brings the model to the ordinary rational KZ equation. Another one is $τ$. At the level of classical mechanics the deformation parameter $τ$ allows to extend the previously obtained modified Gaudin models to the modified Schlesinger systems. Next, we notice that the identities underlying generic (elliptic) KZB equations follow from some additional relations for the properly normalized $R$-matrices. The relations are noncommutative analogues of identities for (scalar) elliptic functions. The simplest one is the unitarity condition. The quadratic (in $R$ matrices) relations are generated by noncommutative Fay identities. In particular, one can derive the quantum Yang-Baxter equations from the Fay identities. The cubic relations provide identities for the KZB equations as well as quadratic relations for the classical $r$-matrices which can be halves of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. At last we discuss the $R$-matrix valued linear problems which provide ${\rm gl}_{\tilde N}$ Calogero-Moser (CM) models and Painleve equations via the above mentioned identities. The role of the spectral parameter plays the Planck constant of the quantum $R$-matrix. When the quantum ${\rm gl}_N$ $R$-matrix is scalar ($N=1$) the linear problem reproduces the Krichever's ansatz for the Lax matrices with spectral parameter for the ${\rm gl}_{\tilde N}$ CM models. The linear problems for the quantum CM models generalize the KZ equations in the same way as the Lax pairs with spectral parameter generalize those without it.

Classical integrable systems and soliton equations related to eleven-vertex R-matrix

In our recent paper we suggested a natural construction of the classical relativistic integrable tops in terms of the quantum $R$-matrices. Here we study the simplest case -- the 11-vertex $R$-matrix and related ${\rm gl}_2$ rational models. The corresponding top is equivalent to the 2-body Ruijsenaars-Schneider (RS) or the 2-body Calogero-Moser (CM) model depending on its description. We give different descriptions of the integrable tops and use them as building blocks for construction of more complicated integrable systems such as Gaudin models and classical spin chains (periodic and with boundaries). The known relation between the top and CM (or RS) models allows to re-write the Gaudin models (or the spin chains) in the canonical variables. Then they assume the form of $n$-particle integrable systems with $2n$ constants. We also describe the generalization of the top to 1+1 field theories. It allows us to get the Landau-Lifshitz type equation. The latter can be treated as non-trivial deformation of the classical continuous Heisenberg model. In a similar way the deformation of the principal chiral model is also described.

Relativistic Classical Integrable Tops and Quantum R-matrices

We describe classical top-like integrable systems arising from the quantum exchange relations and corresponding Sklyanin algebras. The Lax operator is expressed in terms of the quantum non-dynamical $R$-matrix even at the classical level, where the Planck constant plays the role of the relativistic deformation parameter in the sense of Ruijsenaars and Schneider (RS). The integrable systems (relativistic tops) are described as multidimensional Euler tops, and the inertia tensors are written in terms of the quantum and classical $R$-matrices. A particular case of ${\rm gl}_N$ system is gauge equivalent to the $N$-particle RS model while a generic top is related to the spin generalization of the RS model. The simple relation between quantum $R$-matrices and classical Lax operators is exploited in two ways. In the elliptic case we use the Belavin's quantum $R$-matrix to describe the relativistic classical tops. Also by the passage to the noncommutative torus we study the large $N$ limit corresponding to the relativistic version of the nonlocal 2d elliptic hydrodynamics. Conversely, in the rational case we obtain a new ${\rm gl}_N$ quantum rational non-dynamical $R$-matrix via the relativistic top, which we get in a different way -- using the factorized form of the RS Lax operator and the classical Symplectic Hecke (gauge) transformation. In particular case of ${\rm gl}_2$ the quantum rational $R$-matrix is 11-vertex. It was previously found by Cherednik. At last, we describe the integrable spin chains and Gaudin models related to the obtained $R$-matrix.

Classification of Isomonodromy Problems on Elliptic Curves

We consider the isomonodromy problems for flat $G$-bundles over punctured elliptic curves $Σ_τ$ with regular singularities of connections at marked points. The bundles are classified by their characteristic classes. These classes are elements of the second cohomology group $H^2(Σ_τ,{\mathcal Z}(G))$, where ${\mathcal Z}(G)$ is the center of $G$. For any complex simple Lie group $G$ and arbitrary class we define the moduli space of flat bundles, and in this way construct the monodromy preserving equations in the Hamiltonian form and their Lax representations. In particular, they include the Painlevé VI equation, its multicomponent generalizations and elliptic Schlesinger equations. The general construction is described for punctured curves of arbitrary genus. We extend the Drinfeld-Simpson (double coset) description of the moduli space of Higgs bundles to the case of flat connections. This local description allows us to establish the Symplectic Hecke Correspondence for a wide class of the monodromy preserving equations classified by characteristic classes of underlying bundles. In particular, the Painlevé VI equation can be described in terms of ${\rm SL}(2, {\mathbb C})$-bundles. Since ${\mathcal Z}({\rm SL}(2, {\mathbb C}))= {\mathbb Z}_2$, the Painlevé VI has two representations related by the Hecke transformation: 1) as the well-known elliptic form of the Painlevé VI(for trivial bundles); 2) as the non-autonomous Zhukovsky-Volterra gyrostat (for non-trivial bundles).

Cosmological phase transition, baryon asymmetry and dark matter Q-balls

We consider a mechanism of dark matter production in the course of first order phase transition. We assume that there is an asymmetry between X- and anti-X-particles of dark sector. In particular, it may be related to the baryon asymmetry. We also assume that the phase transition is so strongly first order, that X-particles do not permeate into the new phase. In this case, as the bubbles of old phase collapse, X-particles are packed into Q-balls with huge mass defect. These Q-balls compose the present dark matter. We find that the required present dark matter density is obtained for the energy scale of the theory in the ballpark of 1-10 TeV. As an example we consider a theory with effective potential of one-loop motivated form.

Characteristic Classes of SL(N)-Bundles and Quantum Dynamical Elliptic R-Matrices

We discuss quantum dynamical elliptic R-matrices related to arbitrary complex simple Lie group G. They generalize the known vertex and dynamical R-matrices and play an intermediate role between these two types. The R-matrices are defined by the corresponding characteristic classes describing the underlying vector bundles. The latter are related to elements of the center Z(G) of G. While the known dynamical R-matrices are related to the bundles with trivial characteristic classes, the Baxter-Belavin-Drinfeld-Sklyanin vertex R-matrix corresponds to the generator of the center Z_N of SL(N). We construct the R-matrices related to SL(N)- bundles with an arbitrary characteristic class explicitly and discuss the corresponding IRF models.

Characteristic Classes and Integrable Systems. General Construction

We consider topologically non-trivial Higgs bundles over elliptic curves with marked points and construct corresponding integrable systems. In the case of one marked point we call them the modified Calogero-Moser systems (MCM systems). Their phase space has the same dimension as the phase space of the standard CM systems with spin, but less number of particles and greater number of spin variables. Topology of the holomorphic bundles are defined by their characteristic classes. Such bundles occur if G has a non-trivial center, i.e. classical simply-connected groups, $E_6$ and $E_7$. We define the conformal version CG of G - an analog of GL(N) for SL(N), and relate the characteristic classes with degrees of CG-bundles. Starting with these bundles we construct Lax operators, quadratic Hamiltonians, define the phase spaces and the Poisson structure using dynamical r-matrices. To describe the systems we use a special basis in the Lie algebras that generalizes the basis of t'Hooft matrices for sl(N). We find that the MCM systems contain the standard CM systems related to some (unbroken) subalgebras. The configuration space of the CM particles is the moduli space of the holomorphic bundles with non-trivial characteristic classes.

Characteristic Classes and Integrable Systems for Simple Lie Groups

This paper is a continuation of our previous paper \cite{LOSZ}. For simple complex Lie groups with non-trivial center, i.e. classical simply-connected groups, $E_6$ and $E_7$ we consider elliptic Modified Calogero-Moser systems corresponding to the Higgs bundles with an arbitrary characteristic class. These systems are generalization of the classical Calogero-Moser (CM) systems related to a simple Lie groups and contain CM systems related to some (unbroken) subalgebras. For all algebras we construct a special basis, corresponding to non-trivial characteristic classes, the explicit forms of Lax operators and Hamiltonians.

Q-balls with scalar charges

We consider Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin Q-balls in a (3+1)-dimensional model with vanishing scalar potential of one of the fields. The Q-ball is stabilized by the gradient energy of this field and carries scalar charge, over and beyond the global charge. The latter property is inherent also in a model with the scalar potential that does not vanish in some finite field region near the origin.

Relative luminosity measurement of the LHC with the ATLAS forward calorimeter

In this paper it is shown that a measurement of the relative luminosity changes at the LHC may be obtained by analysing the currents drawn from the high voltage power supplies of the electromagnetic section of the forward calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. The method was verified with a reproduction of a small section of the ATLAS forward calorimeter using proton beams of known beam energies and variable intensities at the U-70 accelerator at IHEP in Protvino, Russia. The experimental setup and the data taking during a test beam run in April 2008 are described in detail. A comparison of the measured high voltage currents with reference measurements from beam intensity monitors shows a linear dependence on the beam intensity. The non-linearities are measured to be less than 0.5 % combining statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Lie Algebroids and generalized projective structures on Riemann surfaces

The space of generalized projective structures on a Riemann surface $Σ$ of genus g with n marked points is the affine space over the cotangent bundle to the space of SL(N)-opers. It is a phase space of $W_N$-gravity on $Σ\times\mathbb{R}$. This space is a generalization of the space of projective structures on the Riemann surface. We define the moduli space of $W_N$-gravity as a symplectic quotient with respect to the canonical action of a special class of Lie algebroids. This moduli space describes in particular the moduli space of deformations of complex structures on the Riemann surface by differential operators of finite order, or equivalently, by a quotient space of Volterra operators. We call these algebroids the Adler-Gelfand-Dikii (AGD) algebroids, because they are constructed by means of AGD bivector on the space of opers restricted on a circle. The AGD-algebroids are particular case of Lie algebroids related to a Poisson sigma-model. The moduli space of the generalized projective structure can be described by cohomology of a BRST-complex.

Painleve VI, Rigid Tops and Reflection Equation

We show that the Painlev{é} VI equation has an equivalent form of the non-autonomous Zhukovsky-Volterra gyrostat. This system is a generalization of the Euler top in $C^3$ and include the additional constant gyrostat momentum. The quantization of its autonomous version is achieved by the reflection equation. The corresponding quadratic algebra generalizes the Sklyanin algebra. As by product we define integrable XYZ spin chain on a finite lattice with new boundary conditions.

Bihamiltonian structures and quadratic algebras in hydrodynamics and on non-commutative torus

We demonstrate the common bihamiltonian nature of several integrable systems. The first one is an elliptic rotator that is an integrable Euler-Arnold top on the complex group GL(N) for any $N$, whose inertia ellipsiod is related to a choice of an elliptic curve. Its bihamiltonian structure is provided by the compatible linear and quadratic Poisson brackets, both of which are governed by the Belavin-Drinfeld classical elliptic $r$-matrix. We also generalize this bihamiltonian construction of integrable Euler-Arnold tops to several infinite-dimensional groups, appearing as certain large $N$ limits of GL(N). These are the group of a non-commutative torus (NCT) and the group of symplectomorphisms $SDiff(T^2)$ of the two-dimensional torus. The elliptic rotator on symplectomorphisms gives an elliptic version of an ideal 2D hydrodynamics, which turns out to be an integrable system. In particular, we define the quadratic Poisson algebra on the space of Hamiltonians on $T^2$ depending on two irrational numbers. In conclusion, we quantize the infinite-dimensional quadratic Poisson algebra in a fashion similar to the corresponding finite-dimensional case.

Hamiltonian Algebroids and deformations of complex structures on Riemann curves

Starting with a Lie algebroid ${\cal A}$ over a space $M$ we lift its action to the canonical transformations on the affine bundle ${\cal R}$ over the cotangent bundle $T^*M$. Such lifts are classified by the first cohomology $H^1({\cal A})$. The resulting object is a Hamiltonian algebroid ${\cal A}^H$ over ${\cal R}$ with the anchor map from $\G({\cal A}^H)$ to Hamiltonians of canonical transformations. Hamiltonian algebroids generalize Lie algebras of canonical transformations. We prove that the BRST operator for ${\cal A}^H$ is cubic in the ghost fields as in the Lie algebra case. The Poisson sigma model is a natural example of this construction. Canonical transformations of its phase space define a Hamiltonian algebroid with the Lie brackets related to the Poisson structure on the target space. We apply this scheme to analyze the symmetries of generalized deformations of complex structures on Riemann curves $\Si_{g,n}$ of genus $g $with $n$ marked points .We endow the space of local $\GL$-opers with the Adler-Gelfand-Dikii (AGD) Poisson brackets. It allows us to define a Hamiltonian algebroid over the phase space of $W_N$-gravity on $\Si_{g,n}$. The sections of the algebroid are Volterra operators on $\Si_{g,n}$ with the Lie brackets coming from the AGD bivector. The symplectic reduction defines the finite-dimensional moduli space of $W_N$-gravity and in particular the moduli space of the complex structures $\bp$ on $\Si_{g,n}$ deformed by the Volterra operators.

Hamiltonian Algebroid Symmetries in W-gravity and Poisson sigma-model

Starting from a Lie algebroid ${\cal A}$ over a space V we lift its action to the canonical transformations on the principle affine bundle ${\cal R}$ over the cotangent bundle $T^*V$. Such lifts are classified by the first cohomology $H^1({\cal A})$. The resulting object is the Hamiltonian algebroid ${\cal A}^H$ over ${\cal R}$ with the anchor map from $\G({\cal A}^H)$ to Hamiltonians of canonical transformations. Hamiltonian algebroids generalize the Lie algebras of canonical transformations. We prove that the BRST operator for ${\cal A}^H$ is cubic in the ghost fields as in the Lie algebra case. To illustrate this construction we analyze two topological field theories. First, we define a Lie algebroid over the space $V_3$ of $\SL$-opers on a Riemann curve $\Si_{g,n}$ of genus g with n marked points. The sections of this algebroid are the second order differential operators on $\Si_{g,n}$. The algebroid is lifted to the Hamiltonian algebroid over the phase space of $W_3$-gravity. We describe the BRST operator leading to the moduli space of $W_3$-gravity. In accordance with the general construction the BRST operator is cubic in the ghost fields. We present the Chern-Simons explanation of our results. The second example is the Hamiltonian algebroid structure in the Poisson sigma-model invoked by Cattaneo and Felder to describe the Kontsevich deformation quantization formula. The hamiltonian description of the Poisson sigma-model leads to the Lie algebraic form of the BRST operator.

Aharonov-Bohm Effect in Cyclotron and Synchrotron Radiations

We study the impact of Aharonov-Bohm solenoid on the radiation of a charged particle moving in a constant uniform magnetic field. With this aim in view, exact solutions of Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations are found in the magnetic-solenoid field. Using such solutions, we calculate exactly all the characteristics of one-photon spontaneous radiation both for spinless and spinning particle. Considering non-relativistic and relativistic approximations, we analyze cyclotron and synchrotron radiations in detail. Radiation peculiarities caused by the presence of the solenoid may be considered as a manifestation of Aharonov-Bohm effect in the radiation. In particular, it is shown that new spectral lines appear in the radiation spectrum. Due to angular distribution peculiarities of the radiation intensity, these lines can in principle be isolated from basic cyclotron and synchrotron radiation spectra
