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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Hamiltonian formulation of the relativistic guiding center drifts is extended to anisotropic pressure plasmas. The magnetic coordinates devised by Boozer are adapted to the anisotropic pressure model and retain canonical properties for two-dimensional an ...
The subject of this workshop was numerical methods that preserve geometric properties of the flow of an ordinary or partial differential equation: symplectic and multisymplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems, symmetric integrators for reversible syst ...
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 ...
A new approach to the modeling and control of tokamak fusion reactors is presented. A nonlinear model is derived using the classical arguments of Hamiltonian mechanics and a low-order linear model is derived from it. The modeling process used here addresse ...
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 ...
We report on a series of soil erosion experiments performed on the 2-m x 6-m EPFL erosion flume. Total sediment concentrations and the concentrations of seven size fractions (1000 mm) were measured during 1 ...
