In this thesis we describe a path integral formalism to evaluate approximations to the probability density function for the location and orientation of one end of a continuum polymer chain at thermodynamic equilibrium with a heat bath. We concentrate on th ...
Results of theoretical and numerical investigations concerning the space-time evolution in nD of Coulombian systems known in Plasma Physics and Newtonian systems known in Cosmology are reported here. A generic, canonical Hamiltonian formulation is given (1 ...
The Poisson induction and coinduction procedures are used to construct Banach Lie-Poisson spaces as well as related systems of integrals in involution. This general method applied to the Banach Lie-Poisson space of trace class operators leads to infinite H ...
The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structures for an ideal gauge-charged fluid are determined. Using a Kaluza-Klein point of view, the equations of motion are obtained by Lagrangian and Poisson reductions associated to the automorphism group of a principal bun ...
We suggest a control based method to uncover the structure (i.e., the dynamics of each system, the coupling direction, and coupling functions) of coupled systems. We show that driving a coupled system to steady states can reveal the underlying controlled c ...
A new target in AIDS therapy development is HIV-1 integrase (IN). It was proven that HIV-1 IN required divalent metal cations to achieve phosphodiester bond cleavage of DNA. Accordingly, all newly investigated potent IN inhibitors contain chemical fragment ...
The anomalous dimensions of local single trace gauge invariant operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be computed by diagonalizing a long range integrable Hamiltonian by means of a perturbative asymptotic Bethe ansatz. This formalism break ...
Quantum state-resolved sticking coefficients on Pt(111) and Ni(111) surfaces have been measured for CH4 excited to the first overtone of the antisymmetric C-H stretch (2ν3) at well defined kinetic energies in the range of 10-90 kJ/mol. The ground state rea ...
Very large mol. systems can be calcd. with the so called CNDOL approx. Hamiltonians that have been developed by avoiding oversimplifications and only using a priori parameters and formulas from the simpler NDO methods. A new diagonal monoelectronic term na ...
The recombination of fragments resulting from the photodissociation of (fluorinated) alkyl iodides in helium nanodroplets at a wavelength of 266 nm has been investigated by means of ion imaging techniques. It is found that in the case of CH3I an appreciabl ...
