In order to extend this variational principle to a larger class of models, we consider here a family of reversible matrices of asymptotic dimension N-d and identify conditions under which the high-dimensional Rayleigh-Ritz variational problem may be reduced to a low-dimensional one that yields the leading eigenvalue up to an error term of order 1/N. For a large class of mutation-selection models, this implies estimates for the mean fitness, as well as a concentration result for the ancestral distribution of types}, language = {en} } @article{BaumgaertelGrundling2005, author = {Baumgaertel, Hellmut and Grundling, H.}, title = {Superselection in the presence of constraints}, issn = {0022-2488}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Superselection and constraints occur together in many gauge theories, and here we begin a study of such systems. Our main focus will be to analyze compatibility questions between constraining and superselection, and we will develop an example modelled on QED in which our framework is realized. We proceed from a generalization of Doplicher- Roberts superselection theory to the case of the nontrivial center, and a set of Dirac quantum constraints and find conditions under which the superselection structures will survive constraining in some form. This involves an analysis of the restriction and factorization of superselection structures.

Recall that we are considering processes with generators of the form -epsilonDelta + delF(.) del on R-d or subsets of Rd, where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. Here we consider only the generic situation where the depths of all local minima are different. We show that in general the exponentially small part of the spectrum is given, up to multiplicative errors tending to one, by the eigenvalues of the classical capacity matrix of the array of capacitors made of balls of radius epsilon centered at the positions of the local minima of F. We also get very precise uniform control on the corresponding eigenfunctions. Moreover, these eigenvalues can be identified with the same precision with the inverse mean metastable exit times from each minimum. In [BEGK3] it was proven that these mean times are given, again up to multiplicative errors that tend to one, by the classical Eyring- Kramers formula}, language = {en} } @article{BaerGouduchonMoroianu2005, author = {B{\"a}r, Christian and Gouduchon, Paul and Moroianu, Andrei}, title = {Generalized Cylinders in Semi-Riemannian and Spin Geometry}, year = {2005}, abstract = {We use a construction which we call generalized cylinders to give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurface theory.

We present the continuation of investigations of the IMP method. Theoretical studies of the degree of ill-posedness of the underlying model, simulation results with respect to the analysis of the retrieval error of microphysical particle properties from multiwavelength lidar data, and a comparison of results for different numbers of backscatter and extinction coefficients are presented. Our analysis shows that the backscatter operator has a smaller degree of ill- posedness than the operator for extinction. This fact underlines the importance of backscatter data. Moreover, the degree of ill-posedness increases with increasing particle absorption, i.e., depends on the imaginary part of the refractive index and does not depend significantly on the real part. Furthermore, an extensive simulation study was carried out for logarithmic-normal size distributions with different median radii, mode widths, and real and imaginary parts of refractive indices. The errors of the retrieved particle properties obtained from the inversion of three backscatter (355, 532, and 1064 nm) and two extinction (355 and 532 nm) coefficients were compared with the uncertainties for the case of six backscatter (400. 710, 800 nm. additionally) and the same two extinction coefficients. For known complex refractive index and up to 20\% normally distributed noise, we found that the retrieval errors for effective radius, surface-area concentration, and volume concentration stay below approximately 15\% in both cases. Simulations were also made with unknown complex refractive index. In that case the integrated parameters stay below approximately 30\%, and the imaginary part of the refractive index stays below 35\% for input noise up to 10\% in both cases. In general, the quality of the retrieved aerosol parameters depends strongly on the imaginary part owing to the degree of ill-posedness. It is shown that under certain constraints a minimum data set of three backscatter coefficients and two extinction coefficients is sufficient for a successful inversion. The IMP algorithm was finally tested for a measurement case.
