A periodic level-crossing two-state model of a general Heun class

We present a specific constant-amplitude periodic level-crossing model of the semi-classical quantum time-dependent two-state problem that belongs to a general Heun class of field configurations. The exact analytic solution for the probability amplitude, generally written for this class in terms of the general Heun functions, in this specific case admits series expansion in terms of the incomplete Beta functions. Terminating this series results in an infinite hierarchy of finite-sum closed-form solutions each standing for a particular two-state model, which generally is only conditionally integrable in the sense that for these field configurations the amplitude and phase modulation functions are not varied independently. However, there exists at least one exception when the model is unconditionally integrable, that is the Rabi frequency and the detuning of the driving optical field are controlled independently. This is a constant-amplitude periodic level-crossing model, for which the detuning in a limit becomes a Dirac delta-comb configuration with variable frequency of the level-crossings. We derive the exact solution for this model, determine the Floquet exponents and study the population dynamics in the system for various regions of the input parameters.

Construction and counting of the number of operators included in a normalized vibrational Hamiltonian with n degrees of freedom with a p:q resonance

We propose a method of construction of a normalized vibrational Hamiltonian of a highly excited molecular system with $n$ degrees of freedom in the case of a a $p:q$ resonance. We present also the counting of all the independent operators and the counting of all the parameters included in the Hamiltonian (Counting theorems 1 to 8). The method introduces, on a systematic way, all the operators, in particular the coupling operators, that can be built from the polynomials formed by products of powers of the generators of a Lie algebra: the algebra of the invariant polynomials built in classical mechanics from the the kernel $Ker \,ad_{\mathcal{H}_{0}}$ of the adjoint operator $ad_{\mathcal{H}_{0}}$ (see [6] or [4],[5]). Application to the non-linear triatomic molecule ClOH is then given, taking into account the Fermi resonance between the O-Cl stretching oscillators and the bending motion. The study of this molecular system in highly excited vibrational states (until almost the dissociation limit) has been realized in [2], with a fit of 725 levels of energy. On the 86 coefficients (among which 31 coupling coefficients) that we count, and completely compatible with [2], the smallest rms value leads to keep only 28 non-zero coefficients. In the appendix, we explain the vocabulary and the strategy employed in order to demonstrate the theorems of coupling operators included in the Hamiltonian.

Construction and counting of the number operators of an $n$-degree-of-freedom normalized non-resonant vibrational Hamiltonian

The present paper is the first of two articles aimed at constructing $n$-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems by an algebraic approach. In molecular spectroscopy, the construction of vibrational Hamiltonian for strongly excited molecular systems by using an algebraic formalism requires the introduction by hand the operators describing the change in energy by numerous quanta and it is tedious to predict in advance the total number of operators appearing in the development. The goal of the two articles is not only to propose in the local limit a systematic method for constructing a normalized vibrational Hamiltonian for a strongly excited $n$-degree-of-freedom molecular system from the generators of the Lie algebra, the algebra of polynomial invariants, but also to enumerate the number of independent operators needed for the construction of the Hamiltonian developed in the base of these generators up to the given order $N$. The first article introduces the theoretical tools used in the both papers (section \ref{norm}), and presents the method of construction in case of absence of resonance (section \ref{const}). Finally, an application for a triatomic non-linear ClOH molecule is considered in case close to the dissociation limit. (section \ref{Appli}).
