Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around proving properties of a function \mathcal{A} related to eigenvalue equations in both 1D and 2D contexts, specifically within the framework of condensed matter physics. The original poster presents equations involving sums and polylogarithm functions, as well as a matrix representation in the 2D case, while also referencing a triangular lattice structure.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to derive the function \mathcal{A} using an ansatz related to the equation of motion, while also seeking clarification on the next steps in the proof process. Some participants question the clarity of the original poster's request and suggest that more context or specific difficulties would aid in providing assistance.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the nature of the problem and the original poster's understanding of the concepts involved. There is a lack of explicit consensus on how to proceed, and some guidance has been offered regarding the need for clarity in the original poster's question.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions that they are considering a dipolar crystal, which may influence the assumptions and methods relevant to the problem. Additionally, there is an indication of a potential misunderstanding regarding the distinction between 1D and 2D cases.

Hello,

I want to prove that the function [itex]\mathcal{A}[/itex] in the 1D case satisfy

[itex]\mathcal{A}=\frac{48}{m}\sum_{j=1}^\infty \frac{\sin^2(qj/2)}{j^5}=\frac{12}{m}\left[2\zeta(5)-\text{Li}_5(e^{iq})-\text{Li}_5(e^{-iq})\right],[/itex]

with [itex]\text{Li}_n(z)[/itex] the polylogarithm function, and the matrix [itex]\mathcal{A}[/itex] in the 2D case satisfy

[itex]\mathcal{A}=\frac{3}{m}\sum_{j\neq 0}\left[1-\frac{5}{|\vec{r}_j^0|^2}\begin{pmatrix}(x_j^0)^2&x_jy_j\\x_jy_j&(y_j^0)^2\end{pmatrix}\right]\frac{\left(1-e^{i\vec{q}\vec{r}_j^0}\right)}{|\vec{r}_j^0|^5}[/itex]

Can somebody help me, please, to do this? In 2D the equilibrium positions [itex]\vec{r}_i^0[/itex] form a triangular lattice with basic lattice vectors [itex]a_1 = (1, 0)[/itex] and [itex]a_2 = (1,\sqrt{3})/2[/itex].

Starting point:

[itex]m\vec{\ddot x}_i=\frac{3}{2}\sum_{i\neq j}^{N}\left[\frac{5(\vec{r}_i^0 - \vec{r}_j^0)^2\left(\vec{x}_j-\vec{x}_i\right)}{|\vec{r}_i^0 - \vec{r}_j^0|^7}+\frac{\left(\vec{x}_i-\vec{x}_j\right)}{|\vec{r}_i^0 - \vec{r}_j^0|^5}\right][/itex]

with the ansatz

[itex]\vec{x}_i(t)=\epsilon_\lambda(\vec{q})e^{i\left(\vec{q}\vec{r}_i^0-\omega_\lambda(\vec{q})t\right)}[/itex]
[itex]\vec{\ddot x}_i(t)=-\omega^2\epsilon_\lambda(\vec{q})e^{i\left(\vec{q}\vec{r}_i^0-\omega_\lambda(\vec{q})t\right)}[/itex]

follows

[itex]-\omega^2_\lambda(\vec{q})\epsilon_\lambda(\vec{q})=\mathcal{A}\epsilon_\lambda(\vec{q})[/itex]

Thanks!

what have you tried? is this a condense matter problem?

Yes!

with the ansatz in the equation of motion, i obtain

[itex]\mathcal{A}=\frac{3}{2m}\sum_{i\neq j}\left[1-\frac{5}{|\vec{r}_i^0-\vec{r}_j^0|^2}\left(\vec{r}_i^0-\vec{r}_j^0\right)^2 \right]\frac{\left(1-e^{i\vec{q}(\vec{r}_i^0-\vec{r}_j^0)}\right)}{|\vec{r}_i^0-\vec{r}_j^0|^5}[/itex]

What I have to do next? I do not make any differentiation about 1D and 2D.

I consider a dipolar crystal.
 
your question is asked in some kind of a strange way... I don't even know what you are asking...or what are you trying to prove? just sub in the ansatz and check? what are you having problems with? it is difficult for anyone to help without knowing what you are stuck at. Besides in this forum you are meant to show us what you have tried
