Symmetries and Differential Invariants for Inviscid Flows on a Curve

Inviscid instability of an incompressible flow between rotating porous cylinders to three-dimensional perturbations

We study the stability of two-dimensional inviscid flows in an annulus between two porous cylinders with respect to three-dimensional perturbations. The basic flow is irrotational, and both radial and azimuthal components of the velocity are non-zero. The direction of the radial flow can be from the inner cylinder to the outer one (the diverging flow) or from the outer cylinder to the inner one (the converging flow). It had been shown earlier in Ref. \cite{IM2013a} that, independent of the direction of the radial flow, the basic flow can be unstable to small two-dimensional perturbations. In t…

Contact discontinuities for 3-D axisymmetric inviscid compressible flows in infinitely long cylinders

We prove the existence of a subsonic axisymmetric weak solution $({\bf u},ρ,p)$ with ${\bf u}=u_x{\bf e}_x+u_r{\bf e}_r+u_θ{\bf e}_θ$ to steady Euler system in a three-dimensional infinitely long cylinder $\mathcal{N}$ when prescribing the values of the entropy $(=\frac{p}{ρ^γ})$ and angular momentum density $(=ru_θ)$ at the entrance by piecewise $C^2$ functions with a discontinuity on a curve on the entrance of $\mathcal{N}$. Due to the variable entropy and angular momentum density (=swirl) conditions with a discontinuity at the entrance, the corresponding solution has a nonzero vorticity, no…

Novikov-Veselov Symmetries of the Two-Dimensional $O(N)$ Sigma Model

We show that Novikov-Veselov hierarchy provides a complete family of commuting symmetries of two-dimensional $O(N)$ sigma model. In the first part of the paper we use these symmetries to prove that the Fermi spectral curve for the double-periodic sigma model is algebraic. Thus, our previous construction of the complexified harmonic maps in the case of irreducible Fermi curves is complete. In the second part of the paper we generalize our construction to the case of reducible Fermi curves and show that it gives the conformal harmonic maps to even-dimensional spheres. Remarkably, the solutions a…

Symmetry classification of viscid flows on space curves

Symmetries and differential invariants of viscid flows with viscosity depending on temperature on a space curve are given. Their dependence on thermodynamic states of media is studied, and a classification of thermodynamic states is given.

First-order symmetries of Dirac equation in curved background: a unified dynamical symmetry condition

It has been shown that, for all dimensions and signatures, the most general first-order linear symmetry operators for the Dirac equation including interaction with Maxwell field in curved background are given in terms of Killing-Yano (KY) forms. As a general gauge invariant condition it is found that among all KY-forms of the underlying (pseudo) Riemannian manifold, only those which Clifford commute with the Maxwell field take part in the symmetry operator. It is also proved that associated with each KY-form taking part in the symmetry operator, one can define a quadratic function of velocitie…

Lie symmetries for Lie systems: applications to systems of ODEs and PDEs

A {\it Lie system} is a nonautonomous system of first-order differential equations admitting a {\it superposition rule}, i.e., a map expressing its general solution in terms of a generic family of particular solutions and some constants. Using that a Lie system can be considered as a curve in a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields, a so-called {\it Vessiot--Guldberg Lie algebra}, we associate every Lie system with a Lie algebra of Lie point symmetries induced by the Vessiot--Guldberg Lie algebra. This enables us to derive Lie symmetries of relevant physical systems described by firs…

Symmetries of supergravity backgrounds and supersymmetric field theory

In four spacetime dimensions, all ${\cal N} =1$ supergravity-matter systems can be formulated in the so-called $\mathsf{U}(1)$ superspace proposed by Howe in 1981. This paper is devoted to the study of those geometric structures which characterise a background $\mathsf{U}(1)$ superspace and are important in the context of supersymmetric field theory in curved space. We introduce (conformal) Killing tensor superfields $\ell_{(α_1 \dots α_m) ({\dot α}_1 \dots {\dot α}_n)}$, with $m$ and $n$ non-negative integers, $m+n>0$, and elaborate on their significance in the following cases: (i) $m=n=1$; (…

Klein's Curve

By giving an homology basis well adapted to the symmetries of Klein's curve, presented as a plane curve, we derive a new expression for its period matrix. This is explicitly related to the hyperbolic model and results of Rauch and Lewittes.

On Algebraically Integrable Differential Operators on an Elliptic Curve

We study differential operators on an elliptic curve of order higher than 2 which are algebraically integrable (i.e., finite gap). We discuss classification of such operators of order 3 with one pole, discovering exotic operators on special elliptic curves defined over ${\mathbb Q}$ which do not deform to generic elliptic curves. We also study algebraically integrable operators of higher order with several poles and with symmetries, and (conjecturally) relate them to crystallographic elliptic Calogero-Moser systems (which is a generalization of the results of Airault, McKean, and Moser).

An analogue of the Coleman-Mandula theorem for quantum field theory in curved spacetimes

The Coleman-Mandula (CM) theorem states that the Poincaré and internal symmetries of a Minkowski spacetime quantum field theory cannot combine nontrivially in an extended symmetry group. We establish an analogous result for quantum field theory in curved spacetimes, assuming local covariance, the timeslice property, a local dynamical form of Lorentz invariance, and additivity. Unlike the CM theorem, our result is valid in dimensions $n\ge 2$ and for free or interacting theories. It is formulated for theories defined on a category of all globally hyperbolic spacetimes equipped with a global cof…

On the mathematical structure and hidden symmetries of the Born-Infeld field equations

The mathematical structure of the Born-Infeld field equations was analyzed from the point of view of the symmetries. To this end, the field equations were written in the most compact form by means of quaternionic operators constructed according to all the symmetries of the theory, including the extension to a non-commutative structure. The quaternionic structure of the phase space was explicitly derived and described from the Hamiltonian point of view, and the analogy between the BI theory and the Maxwell (linear) electrodynamics in curved space-time was explicitly shown. Our results agree wit…
