Random matrix theory of integrability-to-chaos transition

The statistics of gaps between quantum energy levels is a hallmark criterion in quantum chaos and quantum integrability studies. The relevant distributions corresponding to exactly integrable vs. fully chaotic systems are universal and described by the Poisson vs. Wigner-Dyson curves. In the transitional regime between integrability and chaos, the distributions are much less universal and have not been understood quantitatively until now. We point out that the relevant statistics that controls these distributions is that of the matrix elements of the nonintegrable perturbation Hamiltonian in the energy eigenbasis of the unperturbed integrable system. With this insight, we formulate a simple random matrix ensemble that correctly reproduces the level spacing distributions in a variety of test systems. For the distribution of matrix elements appearing in our construction, we furthermore discover surprising universal features: across a variety of physical systems with diverse degrees of freedom, these distributions are dominated by simple power laws.

Area terms and entanglement entropy in the $c=1$ string theory

We study entanglement entropy in the low-energy effective field theory of two-dimensional string theory as well as in the singlet sector of the dual $c=1$ matrix quantum mechanics. From the target space perspective, we argue that a generic bulk subregion is expected to have an associated generalized entanglement entropy combining a dilaton-dependent gravitational term and a matter contribution coming from the tachyon. Given that the gravitational area-like term is absent in previous analyses of entanglement entropy in the $c=1$ model, we examine several possible mechanisms for its emergence. We show that the nonlocal transformation induced by the leg-pole factor that relates the target space tachyon and the matrix model collective excitations cannot account for the area-like term, and we comment on its possible origin in the non-singlet sectors of the theory.

Phase-space localization at the lowest Landau level

We consider bosons with weak contact interactions in a harmonic trap and focus on states at the lowest Landau level. Motivated by the known nontrivial phase-space topography of the energy functional of the corresponding Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we explore Husimi distributions of quantum energy eigenstates in the classical phase space of the Schroedinger field. With interactions turned off, the energy levels are highly degenerate and the Husimi distributions do not manifest any particular localization properties. With interactions turned on, the degeneracy is lifted, and a selection of energy levels emerges whose Husimi distributions are localized around low-dimensional surfaces in the phase space.

Bounds on quantum evolution complexity via lattice cryptography

We address the difference between integrable and chaotic motion in quantum theory as manifested by the complexity of the corresponding evolution operators. Complexity is understood here as the shortest geodesic distance between the time-dependent evolution operator and the origin within the group of unitaries. (An appropriate `complexity metric' must be used that takes into account the relative difficulty of performing `nonlocal' operations that act on many degrees of freedom at once.) While simply formulated and geometrically attractive, this notion of complexity is numerically intractable save for toy models with Hilbert spaces of very low dimensions. To bypass this difficulty, we trade the exact definition in terms of geodesics for an upper bound on complexity, obtained by minimizing the distance over an explicitly prescribed infinite set of curves, rather than over all possible curves. Identifying this upper bound turns out equivalent to the closest vector problem (CVP) previously studied in integer optimization theory, in particular, in relation to lattice-based cryptography. Effective approximate algorithms are hence provided by the existing mathematical considerations, and they can be utilized in our analysis of the upper bounds on quantum evolution complexity. The resulting algorithmically implemented complexity bound systematically assigns lower values to integrable than to chaotic systems, as we demonstrate by explicit numerical work for Hilbert spaces of dimensions up to ~10^4.

Stability of shear shallow water flows with free surface

Stability of inviscid shear shallow water flows with free surface is studied in the framework of the Benney equations. This is done by investigating the generalized hyperbolicity of the integrodifferential Benney system of equations. It is shown that all shear flows having monotonic convex velocity profiles are stable. The hydrodynamic approximations of the model corresponding to the classes of flows with piecewise linear continuous and discontinuous velocity profiles are derived and studied. It is shown that these approximations possess Hamiltonian structure and a complete system of Riemann invariants, which are found in an explicit form. Sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity of the governing equations for such multilayer flows are formulated. The generalization of the above results to the case of stratified fluid is less obvious, however, it is established that vorticity has a stabilizing effect.

Gurevich-Zybin system

We present three different linearizable extensions of the Gurevich-Zybin system. Their general solutions are found by reciprocal transformations. In this paper we rewrite the Gurevich-Zybin system as a Monge-Ampere equation. By application of reciprocal transformation this equation is linearized. Infinitely many local Hamiltonian structures, local Lagrangian representations, local conservation laws and local commuting flows are found. Moreover, all commuting flows can be written as Monge-Ampere equations similar to the Gurevich-Zybin system. The Gurevich-Zybin system describes the formation of a large scale structures in the Universe. The second harmonic wave generation is known in nonlinear optics. In this paper we prove that the Gurevich-Zybin system is equivalent to a degenerate case of the second harmonic generation. Thus, the Gurevich-Zybin system is recognized as a degenerate first negative flow of two-component Harry Dym hierarchy up to two Miura type transformations. A reciprocal transformation between the Gurevich-Zybin system and degenerate case of the second harmonic generation system is found. A new solution for the second harmonic generation is presented in implicit form.

Description of compatible differential-geometric Poisson brackets of the first order

Compatible local differential-geometric Poisson brackets of the first order (Dubrovin-Novikov type) are classified by solutions of modified Sinh-Gordon equation. It was proved by E.V. Ferapontov. In this paper integrable system describing compatible non-local differential-geometric Poisson brackets of the first order (Ferapontov type) is presented in case when one metric is flat and another one has co-dimension 1. This is a reduction of the Cherednik model (chiral fields).

On Equation for Initial Values in Theory of the Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations

We consider the properties of the second order nonlinear differential equations b''= g(a,b,b') with the function g(a,b,b'=c) satisfying the following nonlinear partial differential equation $$ \frac{d^2 g_{cc}}{da^2}-g_{c}\frac{dg_{cc}}{da}-4\frac{dg_{bc}}{da}+ $$ $$ +4g_{c}g_{bc}-3g_{b}g_{cc}+6g_{bb}=0, $$ where: $$ \frac{d}{da}=\frac{\partial}{\partial a}+c \frac{\partial}{\partial b}+ g \frac{\partial}{\partial c}. $$ Any equation b''=g(a,b,b') with this condition on function g(a,b,b') has the General Integral F(a,b,x,y)=0 shared with General Integral of the second order ODE's y''=f(x,y,y') with condition $\frac{\partial^4 f}{\partial y'^4}=0$ on function f(x,y,y') or $$ y''+a_{1}(x,y)y'^3+3a_{2}(x,y)y'^2+3a_{3}(x,y)y'+a_{4}(x,y)=0 $$ with some coefficients a_{i}(x,y).

The Calogero equation and Liouville type equations

In this paper we present a two-component generalization of the C-integrable Calogero equation (see [1]). This system is C-integrable as well, and moreover we show that the Calogero equation and its two-component generalization are solvable by a reciprocal transformation to ODE's. Simultaneously we obtain a generalized Liouville equation (34), determined by two arbitrary functions of one variable.

Extending Hamiltonian Operators to Get Bi-Hamiltonian Coupled KdV Systems

An analysis of extension of Hamiltonian operators from lower order to higher order of matrix paves a way for constructing Hamiltonian pairs which may result in hereditary operators. Based on a specific choice of Hamiltonian operators of lower order, new local bi-Hamiltonian coupled KdV systems are proposed. As a consequence of bi-Hamiltonian structure, they all possess infinitely many symmetries and infinitely many conserved densities.
