Integrable Volterra hierarchies over nonabelian algebras

Known integrable systems with noncommutative dependent variables are typically formulated over free associative algebras, quantum algebras, or Grassmann algebras. For differential-difference integrable equations, we identify a new class of noncommutative algebras that is compatible with the dynamics and can be positioned between quantum and free algebras. In this brief communication, we consider reductions of the nonabelian Volterra hierarchy to new algebras. This approach extends to a broad class of integrable systems, including the Toda lattice, the Ablowitz-Ladik system, and many others.

Quantisation ideals, canonical parametrisations of the unipotent group and consistent integrable systems

Using the methods of quantisation ideals, we construct a family of quantisations corresponding to Case alpha in Sergeev's classification of solutions to the tetrahedron equation. This solution describes transformations between special parametrisations of the space of unipotent matrices with noncommutative coefficients. We analyse the classical limit of this family and construct a pencil of compatible Poisson brackets that remain invariant under the re-parametrisation maps (mutations). This decomposition problem is closely related to Lusztig's framework, which makes links with the theory of cluster algebras. Our construction differs from the standard family of Poisson structures in cluster theory; it provides deformations of log-canonical brackets. Additionally, we identify a family of integrable systems defined on the parametrisation charts, compatible with mutations.

KdV hierarchies and quantum Novikov's equations

This paper begins with a review of the well-known KdV hierarchy, the $N$-th Novikov equation, and its finite hierarchy in the classical commutative case. This finite hierarchy consists of $N$ compatible integrable polynomial dynamical systems in $\mathbb{C}^{2N}$. We discuss a non-commutative version of the $N$-th Novikov hierarchy defined on the finitely generated free associative algebra ${\mathfrak{B}}_N$ with $2N$ generators. Using the method of quantisation ideals in ${\mathfrak{B}}_N$, for $N=1,2,3,4$, we obtain two-sided homogeneous ideals ${\mathfrak{Q}}_N\subset{\mathfrak{B}}_N$ (quantisation ideals) that are invariant with respect to the $N$-th Novikov equation and such that the quotient algebra ${\mathfrak{C}}_N = {\mathfrak{B}}_N/ {\mathfrak{Q}}_N$ has a well-defined Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt basis. This allows us to define the quantum $N$-th Novikov equation and its hierarchy on ${\mathfrak{C}}_N$. We derive $N$ commuting quantum first integrals (Hamiltonians) and represent the equations of the hierarchy in the Heisenberg form. Essential for our research is the concept of cyclic Frobenius algebras, which we introduced in our recent paper. In terms of the quadratic form that defines the structure of a cyclic Frobenius algebra, we explicitly express the first integrals of the $N$-th Novikov hierarchy in the commutative, free, and quantum cases.

Exciton dynamics in CdTe/CdZnTe quantum well

Exciton energy structure and population dynamics in a wide CdTe/CdZnTe quantum well are studied by spectrally-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. Multiple excitonic resonances in reflectance spectra are observed and identified by solving numerically three-dimensional Schrödinger equation. The pump-probe reflectivity signal is shown to be dominated by the photoinduced nonradiative broadening of the excitonic resonances, while pump-induced exciton energy shift and reduction of the oscillator strength appear to be negligible. This broadening is induced by the reservoir of dark excitons with large in-plane wave vector, which are coupled to the the bright excitons states. The dynamics of the pump-induced nonradiative broadening observed experimentally is characterised by three components: signal build up on the scale of tens of picoseconds (i) and bi-exponential decay on the scale of one nanosecond (ii) and ten nanosecons (iii). Possible mechanisms of the reservoir population and depletion responsible for this behaviour are discussed.

Cyclic Frobenius algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notion of cyclic Frobenius algebras (CF-algebras). Canonical structures of CF-algebras exist on associative and Poisson algebras. It turns out that the modern theory of integrable systems yields non-trivial examples of CF-algebras. In the theory of the KdV hierarchy there is a structure of CF-algebra which leads to explicit expressions for the first integrals of the N-th Novikov hierarchy, suitable for classical, non-Abelian and quantum cases.

Nonlinear behaviour of the nonradiative exciton reservoir in quantum wells

Excitons and free charge carriers with large wave vectors form a nonradiative reservoir, which can strongly affect properties of bright excitons due to the exciton-exciton and exciton-carrier interactions. In the present work, the dynamics of quasiparticles in the reservoir at different areal densities is experimentally studied in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well using a time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy of nonradiative broadening of exciton resonances. The population of the reservoir is controlled either by the excitation power or by the temperature of the structure under study. The dynamics is quantitatively analyzed in the framework of the model developed earlier [Kurdyubov et al., Phys. Rev. B {\bf 104}, 035414 (2021)]. The model considers several dynamic processes, such as scattering of photoexcited excitons into the reservoir, dissociation of excitons into free charge carriers and the reverse process, carrier-induced exciton scattering into the light cone depleting the reservoir, thermally activated nonradiative losses of charge carriers. We have found that competition of these processes leads to highly nonlinear dynamics of reservoir excitons, although their density is far below the exciton Mott transition densities. Characteristic rates of the processes and their dependencies on the excitation power and the temperature are determined.

Perturbative Symmetry Approach for Differential-Difference Equations

We propose a new method for solution of the integrability problem for evolutionary differential-difference equations of arbitrary order. It enables us to produce necessary integrability conditions, to determine whether a given equation is integrable or not, and to advance in classification of integrable equations. In this paper we define and develop symbolic representation for the difference polynomial ring, difference operators and formal series. In order to formulate necessary integrability conditions, we introduce a novel quasi-local extension of the difference ring. It enables us to progress in classification of integrable differential-difference evolutionary equations of arbitrary order. In particular, we solve the problem of classification of integrable equations of order $(-3,3)$ for the important subclass of quasi-linear equations and produce a list of 17 equations satisfying the necessary integrability conditions. For every equation from the list we present an infinite family of integrable higher order relatives. Some of the equations obtained are new.

Dynamics and control of nonradiative excitons - free carriers mixture in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells

Dynamics of nonradiative excitons with large in-plane wave vectors forming a so-called reservoir is experimentally studied in a high-quality semiconductor structure containing a 14-nm shallow GaAs/Al$_{0.03}$Ga$_{0.97}$As quantum well by means of the non-degenerate pump-probe spectroscopy. The exciton dynamics is visualized via the dynamic broadening of the heavy-hole and light-hole exciton resonances caused by the exciton-exciton scattering. Under the non-resonant excitation free carriers are optically generated. In this regime the exciton dynamics is strongly affected by the exciton-carrier scattering. In particular, if the carriers of one sign are prevailing, they efficiently deplete the reservoir of the nonradiative excitons inducing their scattering into the light cone. A simple model of the exciton dynamics is developed, which considers the energy relaxation of photocreated electrons and holes, their coupling into excitons, and exciton scattering into the light cone. The model well reproduces the exciton dynamics observed experimentally both at the resonant and nonresonant excitation. Moreover, it correctly describes the profiles of the photoluminescence pulses studied experimentally. The efficient exciton-electron interaction is further experimentally verified by the control of the exciton density in the reservoir when an additional excitation creates electrons depleting the reservoir.

Electron and hole spin relaxation in InP-based self-assembled quantum dots emitting at telecom wavelengths

We investigate the electron and hole spin relaxation in an ensemble of self-assembled InAs/In$_{0.53}$Al$_{0.24}$Ga$_{0.23}$As/InP quantum dots with emission wavelengths around $1.5$~$μ$m by pump-probe Faraday rotation spectroscopy. Electron spin dephasing due to the randomly oriented nuclear Overhauser fields is observed. At low temperatures we find a sub-microsecond longitudinal electron spin relaxation time $T_1$ which unexpectedly strongly depends on temperature. At high temperatures the electron spin relaxation time is limited by optical phonon scattering through spin-orbit interaction decreasing down to $0.1$~ns at 260~K. We show that the hole spin relaxation is activated much more effectively by a temperature increase compared to the electrons.

The space of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves and integrable Hamiltonian polynomial systems on $\bbbR^4$

We construct Lie algebras of vector fields on universal bundles $\mathcal{E}^2_{N,0}$ of symmetric squares of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g=1,2,\dots$, where $g=\left[\frac{N-1}{2}\right], \ N=3,4,\ldots$. For each of these Lie algebras, the Lie subalgebra of vertical fields has commuting generators, while the generators of the Lie subalgebra of projectable fields determines the canonical representation of the Lie subalgebra with generators $L_{2q}$, $q=-1, 0, 1, 2, \dots$, of the Witt algebra. We give explicitly a bi-rational equivalence of the space $\mathcal{E}^2_{N,0}$ and $\bbbC^{N+1}$ (in the case $N=5$ it is a well known result of Dubrovin and Novikov) and construct a polynomial Lie algebra on $\bbbC^{N+1}$, which contains two commuting generators. These commuting generators results in two compatible polynomial dynamical systems on $\bbbR^4$, which possess two common polynomial first integrals. Moreover, these systems are Hamiltonian and thus Liouville integrable. Using Abel-Jacobi two point map the solutions of these systems can be given in terms of functions defined on universal covering of the universal bundle of the Jacobians of the curves. These functions are not Abelian if $g\ne 2$. Finally we give explicit solutions of the constructed Hamiltonian systems on $\bbbR^4$ in the cases $N=3,4,5$.

Influence of magnetic quantum confined Stark effect on the spin lifetime of indirect excitons

We report on the unusual and counter-intuitive behaviour of spin lifetime of excitons in coupled semiconductor quantum wells (CQWs) in the presence of in-plane magnetic field. Instead of conventional acceleration of spin relaxation due to the Larmor precession of electron and hole spins we observe a strong increase of the spin relaxation time at low magnetic fields followed by saturation and decrease at higher fields. We argue that this non-monotonic spin relaxation dynamics is a fingerprint of the magnetic quantum confined Stark effect. In the presence of electric field along the CQW growth axis, an applied magnetic field efficiently suppresses the exciton spin coherence, due to inhomogeneous broadening of the $g$-factor distribution.

Reduction groups and related integrable difference systems of NLS type

We extend the reduction group method to the Lax-Darboux schemes associated with nonlinear Schrödinger type equations. We consider all possible finite reduction groups and construct corresponding Lax operators, Darboux transformations, hierarchies of integrable differential-difference equations, integrable partial difference systems and associated scalar partial difference equations.

Ultimate photo-induced Kerr rotation achieved in semiconductor microcavities

Photoinduced Kerr rotation by more than $π/2$ radians is demonstrated in planar quantum well microcavity in the strong coupling regime. This result is close to the predicted theoretical maximum of $π$. It is achieved by engineering microcavity parameters such that the optical impedance matching condition is reached at the smallest negative detuning between exciton resonance and the cavity mode. This ensures the optimum combination of the exciton induced optical non-linearity and the enhancement of the Kerr angle by the cavity. Comprehensive analysis of the polarization state of the light in this regime shows that both renormalization of the exciton energy and the saturation of the excitonic resonance contribute to the observed optical nonlinearities.

Optics of spin-noise-induced gyrotropy of asymmetric microcavity

The optical gyrotropy noise of a high-finesse semiconductor Bragg microcavity with an embedded quantum well (QW) is studied at different detunings of the photon mode and the QW exciton resonances. A strong suppression of the noise magnitude for the photon mode frequencies lying above exciton resonances is found. We show that such a critical behavior of the observed optical noise power is specific of asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonators. As follows from our analysis, at a certain level of intracavity loss, the reflectivity of the asymmetric resonator vanishes, while the polarimetric sensitivity to the gyrotropy changes dramatically when moving across the critical point. The results of model calculations are in a good agreement with our experimental data on the spin noise in a single-quantum-well microcavity and are confirmed also by the spectra of the photo-induced Kerr rotation in the pump-probe experiments.

Reduction Groups and Automorphic Lie Algebras

We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates the name automorphic Lie algebras. For automorphic Lie algebras we present bases in which they are quasigraded and all structure constants can be written out explicitly. These algebras have a useful factorisations on two subalgebras similar to the factorisation of the current algebra on the positive and negative parts.

Reductions of integrable equations. Dihedral group

We discuss algebraic and analytic structure of rational Lax operators. With algebraic reductions of Lax equations we associate a reduction group - a group of twisted automorphisms of the corresponding infinite dimensional Lie algebra. We present a complete study of dihedral reductions for sl(2,C) Lax operators with simple poles and corresponding integrable equations. In the last section we give three examples of dihedral reductions for sl(N,C) Lax operators.

Perturbative Symmetry Approach

Perturbative Symmetry Approach is formulated in symbolic representation. Easily verifiable integrability conditions of a given equation are constructed in the frame of the approach. Generalisation for the case of non-local and non-evolution equations is disscused. Application of the theory to the Benjamin-Ono and Camassa-Holm type equations is considered.

Integrable ODEs on Associative Algebras

In this paper we give definitions of basic concepts such as symmetries, first integrals, Hamiltonian and recursion operators suitable for ordinary differential equations on associative algebras, and in particular for matrix differential equations. We choose existence of hierarchies of first integrals and/or symmetries as a criterion for integrability and justify it by examples. Using our componentless approach we have solved a number of classification problems for integrable equations on free associative algebras. Also, in the simplest case, we have listed all possible Hamiltonian operators of low order.
