Narrow Results

The elliptically oscillating solutions in the Abelian–Higgs model are presented and the classical massive-dispersion-relation through the nonlinear dynamics is discussed. The generated massive-dispersion-relation including a field value of the scalar field is derived as the consequence of the equation of motions. We discuss the property of the new solutions and its Hamiltonian density. In addition, we calculate the electromagnetic property of the system, in particular, we derive the relation between the field value and the electric field and the electric current density.

In this paper, tunneling effect of Cooper pairs in weak-link superconductor structure with multi-junctions under the condition for overstepping the Josephson approximation is discussed. The equations describing the electric current based on the tunneling effect of Cooper pairs in several kinds of weak-link superconductor structures with multi-junctions are obtained under the condition to overstep the Josephson approximation. For both SISISIS and a four junctions ring, when all junctions are in the zero voltage state, the exact solution of the equations is obtained. It is found that, because of the tunneling effect of the Cooper pairs, an alternating current exists which can be expressed by an elliptic function. For a four junctions ring, the relation between the period of the alternating current and flux is pointed out. At last, the condition for overstepping the Josephson approximation is discussed. The result shows that overstepping the Josephson approximation may be possible when the volumes of superconductors are small enough.

In this paper, we are concerned with the Rose–Hindmarsh model with time delay. By applying the generalized Sturm criterion, a number of imaginary roots of the characteristic equation are classified. The absolutely stable regions for any value of time delay are detected. By the continuous software DDE-Biftool, both the Hopf bifurcation curves and double Hopf bifurcation points are illustrated in parametric spaces. The normal form and universal unfolding at double Hopf bifurcation points are considered by the center manifold method. Some examples also indicate that the corresponding unique attractor near each double Hopf point is asymptotically stable.

The quintuple product identity was first discovered about 90 years ago. It has been published in many different forms, and at least 29 proofs have been given. We shall give a comprehensive survey of the work on the quintuple product identity, and a detailed analysis of the many proofs.

We give a new proof of Milne's formulas for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of 4m² and 4m(m + 1) squares. The proof is based on explicit evaluation of pfaffians with elliptic function entries, and relates Milne's formulas to Schur Q-polynomials and to correlation functions for continuous dual Hahn polynomials. We also state a new formula for 2m² squares.

A simple construction of Eisenstein series for the congruence subgroup Γ₀(p) is given. The construction makes use of the Jacobi triple product identity and Gauss sums, but does not use the modular transformation for the Dedekind eta-function. All positive integral weights are handled in the same way, and the conditionally convergent cases of weights 1 and 2 present no extra difficulty.

The Schröter formula is an important theta function identity. In this paper, we will point out that some well-known addition formulas for theta functions are special cases of the Schröter formula. We further show that the Hirschhorn septuple product identity can also be derived from this formula. In addition, this formula allows us to derive four remarkable theta functions identities, two of them are extensions of two well-known Ramanujan's identities related to the modular equations of degree 5. A trigonometric identity is also proved.

Two pairs of inverse relations for elliptic theta functions are established with the method of Fourier series expansion, which allow us to recover many classical results in theta functions. Many nontrivial new theta function identities are discovered. Some curious trigonometric identities are derived.
