The Ohta-Kawasaki density functional theory of diblock copolymers gives rise to a nonlocal free boundary problem. Under a proper condition between the block composition fraction and the nonlocal interaction parameter, a pattern of a single droplet is proved to exist in a general planar domain. A smaller parameter range is identified where the droplet solution is stable. The droplet is a set whi...

The Fokker-Planck equations for stochastic dynamical systems, with non-Gaussian α−stable symmetric Lévy motions, have a nonlocal or fractional Laplacian term. This nonlocality is the manifestation of the effect of non-Gaussian fluctuations. Taking advantage of the Toeplitz matrix structure of the time-space discretization, a fast and accurate numerical algorithm is proposed to simulate the nonl...

We prove nonexistence of nontrivial bounded solutions to some nonlinear problems involving nonlocal operators of the form Lu(x) = − ∑ aij∂iju+ PV ∫ Rn (u(x)− u(x+ y))K(y)dy. These operators are infinitesimal generators of symmetric Lévy processes. Our results apply to even kernels K satisfying that K(y)|y| is nondecreasing along rays from the origin, for some σ ∈ (0, 2) in case aij ≡ 0 and for ...

A construction of W-symmetries is given only in terms of the nonlocal fields (parafermions ψ α), which take values on the homogeneous space G/U (1) r , where G is a simply connected compact Lie group manifold (its accompanying Lie algebra G is a simple one of rank r). Only certain restriction of the root set of Lie algebra on which the parafermionic fields take values are satisfied, then a cons...

Parameters of Gasser Leutwyler chiral Lagrangian are proved saturated by dynamical quark self energy Σ(k2) in a gauge invariant, nonlocal, dynamical quark model. Much of low-energy QCD can be encoded into a series parameters appearing in a chiral Lagrangian, expanded to some finite order of low energy expansion. Attempts have been made to understand these parameters: it is shown that low lying ...

A new, more general derivation of the spin-statistics and PCT theorems is presented. It uses the notion of the analytic wave front set of (ultra)distributions and, in contrast to the usual approach, covers nonlocal quantum fields. The fields are defined as generalized functions with test functions of compact support in momentum space. The vacuum expectation values are thereby admitted to be arb...
