Joint System Quantum Descriptions Arising from Local Quantumness

We study the entropy flux in the stationary state of a finite one-dimensional sample ${\mathcal{S}}$ connected at its left and right ends to two infinitely extended reservoirs ${\mathcal{R}_{l/r}}$ at distinct (inverse) temperatures ${\beta_{l/r}}$ and chemical potentials ${\mu_{l/r}}$ . The sample is a free lattice Fermi gas confined to a box [0, L] with energy operator ${h_{\mathcal{S}, L}= - \Delta + v}$ . The Landauer-Büttiker formula expresses the steady state entropy flux in the coupled system ${\mathcal{R}_l + \mathcal{S} + \mathcal{R}_r}$ in terms of scattering data. We study the behaviour of this steady state entropy flux in the limit ${L \to \infty}$ and relate persistence of transport to norm bounds on the transfer matrices of the limiting half-line Schrödinger operator ${h_\mathcal{S}}$ .     

Charm Production in Antiproton-Proton Annihilation

We study the production of charmed mesons (D) and baryons (?? _c ) in antiproton-proton ${(\bar{p}p)}$ annihilation close to their respective production thresholds. The elementary charm production process is described by either baryon/meson exchange or by quark/gluon dynamics. Effects of the interactions in the initial and final states are taken into account rigorously. The calculations are performed in close analogy to our earlier study on ${\bar{p}p \to \bar{\Lambda} \Lambda}$ and ${\bar{p} p \to \bar{K} K}$ by connecting the processes via SU(4) flavor symmetry. Our predictions for the ${\bar{\Lambda}_c \Lambda_c}$ production cross section are in the order of 1 to 7 mb, i.e. a factor of around 10?C70 smaller than the corresponding cross sections for ${\bar{\Lambda} \Lambda}$ However, they are 100 to 1000 times larger than predictions of other model calculations in the literature. On the other hand, the resulting cross sections for ${\bar{D} D}$ production are found to be in the order of 10^?2 ?C 10^?1 ??b and they turned out to be comparable to those obtained in other studies.     

Haag Duality and the Distal Split Property for Cones in the Toric Code

We prove that Haag duality holds for cones in the toric code model. That is, for a cone ??, the algebra ${\mathcal{R}_{\Lambda}}$ of observables localized in ?? and the algebra ${\mathcal{R}_{\Lambda^c}}$ of observables localized in the complement ?? ^c generate each other??s commutant as von Neumann algebras. Moreover, we show that the distal split property holds: if ${\Lambda_1 \subset \Lambda_2}$ are two cones whose boundaries are well separated, there is a Type I factor ${\mathcal{N}}$ such that ${\mathcal{R}_{\Lambda_1} \subset \mathcal{N} \subset \mathcal{R}_{\Lambda_2}}$ . We demonstrate this by explicitly constructing ${\mathcal{N}}$ .     

Finite W-Superalgebras and Truncated Super Yangians

Let ${Y_{m|n}^{\ell}}$ be the super Yangian of general linear Lie superalgebra for ${\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}}$ . Let ${e \in \mathfrak{gl}_{m\ell|n\ell}}$ be a “rectangular” nilpotent element and ${\mathcal{W}_e}$ be the finite W-superalgebra associated to e. We show that ${Y_{m|n}^{\ell}}$ is isomorphic to ${\mathcal{W}_e}$ .     

Towards Asymptotic Completeness of Two-Particle Scattering in Local Relativistic QFT

We consider the problem of existence of asymptotic observables in local relativistic theories of massive particles. Let ${\tilde{p}_1}$ and ${\tilde{p}_2}$ be two energy-momentum vectors of a massive particle and let ${\Delta}$ be a small neighbourhood of ${\tilde{p}_1 + \tilde{p}_2}$ . We construct asymptotic observables (two-particle Araki–Haag detectors), sensitive to neutral particles of energy-momenta in small neighbourhoods of ${\tilde{p}_1}$ and ${\tilde{p}_2}$ . We show that these asymptotic observables exist, as strong limits of their approximating sequences, on all physical states from the spectral subspace of ${\Delta}$ . Moreover, the linear span of the ranges of all such asymptotic observables coincides with the subspace of two-particle Haag–Ruelle scattering states with total energy-momenta in ${\Delta}$ . The result holds under very general conditions which are satisfied, for example, in ${\lambda{\phi}_{2}^{4}}$ . The proof of convergence relies on a variant of the phase-space propagation estimate of Graf.     

Physics beyond the Standard Model through b → s μ ?+? μ ? transition

A comprehensive study of the impact of new-physics operators with different Lorentz structures on decays involving the b ?? s ?? ^?+? ?? ^? transition is performed. The effects of new vector?Caxial vector (VA), scalar?Cpseudoscalar (SP) and tensor (T) interactions on the differential branching ratios, forward?Cbackward asymmetries (A _FB??s), and direct CP asymmetries of ${\bar B}_{\rm s}^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ , ${\bar B}_{\rm d}^0 \to$ $ X_{\rm s} \mu^+ \mu^-$ , ${\bar B}_{\rm s}^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^- \gamma$ , ${\bar B}_{\rm d}^0 \to {\bar K} \mu^+ \mu^-$ , and ${\bar B}_{\rm d}^0\to {\bar{K}^*} \mu^+ \mu^-$ are examined. In ${\bar B}_{\rm d}^0\to {\bar{K}^*} \mu^+ \mu^-$ , we also explore the longitudinal polarization fraction f _L and the angular asymmetries $A_{\rm T}^{(2)}$ and A _LT, the direct CP asymmetries in them, as well as the triple-product CP asymmetries $A_{\rm T}^{\rm (im)}$ and $A^{\rm (im)}_{\rm LT}$ . While the new VA operators can significantly enhance most of the observables beyond the Standard Model predictions, the SP and T operators can do this only for A _FB in ${\bar B}_{\rm d}^0 \to {\bar K} \mu^+ \mu^-$ .     

Effective Dynamics of a Tracer Particle Interacting with an Ideal Bose Gas

We study a system consisting of a heavy quantum particle, called the tracer particle, coupled to an ideal gas of light Bose particles, the ratio of masses of the tracer particle and a gas particle being proportional to the gas density. All particles have non-relativistic kinematics. The tracer particle is driven by an external potential and couples to the gas particles through a pair potential. We compare the quantum dynamics of this system to an effective dynamics given by a Newtonian equation of motion for the tracer particle coupled to a classical wave equation for the Bose gas. We quantify the closeness of these two dynamics as the mean-field limit is approached (gas density ${\to \infty}$ ). Our estimates allow us to interchange the thermodynamic with the mean-field limit.     

Self-Avoiding Walk is Sub-Ballistic

We prove that self-avoiding walk on ${\mathbb{Z}^d}$ is sub-ballistic in any dimension d ≥ 2. That is, writing ${\| u \|}$ for the Euclidean norm of ${u \in \mathbb{Z}^d}$ , and ${\mathsf{P_{SAW}}_n}$ for the uniform measure on self-avoiding walks ${\gamma : \{0, \ldots, n\} \to \mathbb{Z}^d}$ for which γ ₀ = 0, we show that, for each v > 0, there exists ${\varepsilon > 0}$ such that, for each ${n \in \mathbb{N}, \mathsf{P_{SAW}}_n \big( {\rm max}\big\{\| \gamma_k \| : 0 \leq k \leq n\big\} \geq vn \big) \leq e^{-\varepsilon n}}$ .     

Analysis of the \frac{1} {2}^ - and \frac{3} {2}^ - heavy and doubly heavy baryon states with QCD sum rules

In this article, we study the $\frac{1} {2}^ -$ and $\frac{3} {2}^ -$ heavy and doubly heavy baryon states $\Sigma _Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi '_Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _{QQ} \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _{QQ} \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Sigma _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _{QQ}^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ and $\Omega _{QQ}^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ by subtracting the contributions from the corresponding $\frac{1} {2}^ +$ and $\frac{3} {2}^ +$ heavy and doubly heavy baryon states with the QCD sum rules in a systematic way, and make reasonable predictions for their masses.     

Coupled-Channel Faddeev Calculations of K ? d Scattering Length

Dependence of the K ^? d scattering length on the different models of ${\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma}$ interaction describing ??(1405) resonance in terms of one or two poles is investigated. The ${\bar{K}NN - \pi \Sigma N}$ system is described by coupled-channel Faddeev equations in AGS form. The two-body ${\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma}$ interaction models reproduce all existing experimental data on K ^? p scattering and K ^? p atom level shift. The comparison with several approximations, commonly used for such calculations, is done.     

One-range Addition Theorems for Noninteger n Slater Functions using Complete Orthonormal Sets of Exponential Type Orbitals in Standard Convention

By the use of complete orthonormal sets of ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -exponential type orbitals ( ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -ETOs) with integer (for α ^* = α) and noninteger self-frictional quantum number α ^*(for α ^* ≠ α) in standard convention introduced by the author, the one-range addition theorems for ${\chi }$ -noninteger n Slater type orbitals ${(\chi}$ -NISTOs) are established. These orbitals are defined as follows $$\begin{array}{ll}\psi _{nlm}^{(\alpha^*)} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = \frac{(2\zeta )^{3/2}}{\Gamma (p_l ^* + 1)} \left[{\frac{\Gamma (q_l ^* + )}{(2n)^{\alpha ^*}(n - l - 1)!}} \right]^{1/2}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}x^{l}_1 F_1 ({-[ {n - l - 1}]; p_l ^* + 1; x})S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )\\ \chi _{n^*lm} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = (2\zeta )^{3/2}\left[ {\Gamma(2n^* + 1)}\right]^{{-1}/2}x^{n^*-1}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}S_{lm}(\theta ,\varphi ),\end{array}$$ where ${x=2\zeta r, 0<\zeta <\infty , p_l ^{\ast}=2l+2-\alpha ^{\ast}, q_l ^{\ast}=n+l+1-\alpha ^{\ast}, -\infty <\alpha ^{\ast} <3 , -\infty <\alpha \leq 2,_1 F_1 }$ is the confluent hypergeometric function and ${S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )}$ are the complex or real spherical harmonics. The origin of the ${\psi ^{(\alpha ^{\ast})} }$ -ETOs, therefore, of the one-range addition theorems obtained in this work for ${\chi}$ -NISTOs is the self-frictional potential of the field produced by the particle itself. The obtained formulas can be useful especially in the electronic structure calculations of atoms, molecules and solids when Hartree–Fock–Roothan approximation is employed.     

Faddeev Treatment of the Quasi-Bound and Scattering States in the {\bar{K}NN - \pi\Sigma N} System

The three-body Faddeev-type AGS equations were used for investigation of scattering states in the ${\bar{K} NN - \pi \Sigma N}$ system. Newly constructed “chirally motivated” potentials describing ${\bar{K} N - \pi \Sigma}$ interaction were used as an input. The results of the three-body calculations were then used for calculations of the corresponding 1s level shift and width of kaonic deuterium.     

Non-Almost Periodicity of Parallel Transports for Homogeneous Connections

Let ${\cal A}$ be the affine space of all connections in an SU(2) principal fibre bundle over ?³. The set of homogeneous isotropic connections forms a line l in ${\cal A}$ . We prove that the parallel transports for general, non-straight paths in the base manifold do not depend almost periodically on l. Consequently, the embedding $l \hookrightarrow {\cal A}$ does not continuously extend to an embedding $\overline{l} \hookrightarrow \overline{\cal A}$ of the respective compactifications. Here, the Bohr compactification $\overline{l}$ corresponds to the configuration space of homogeneous isotropic loop quantum cosmology and $\overline{\cal A}$ to that of loop quantum gravity. Analogous results are given for the anisotropic case.     

Operator Realization of Radial- and Azimuthal- Differentiations Obtained by Using the Entangled State Representation

We find Bose operator realization of radial- and azimuthal-differential operations in polar coordinate system by virtue of the entangled state |η〉 representation, which indicates that |η〉 representation just fits to describe the polar coordinate operators in quantum mechanics. The Bose operator corresponding to the Laplacian operation $\frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial r^{2} }+\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}+\frac{1}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial^{2} }{\partial\varphi^{2}}$ for 2-dimensional system and its eigenvector are also obtained. Their new applications are partly presented.     

Liouville-Type Theorems for the Forced Euler Equations and the Navier–Stokes Equations

In this paper we study the Liouville-type properties for solutions to the steady incompressible Euler equations with forces in ${\mathbb {R}^N}$ . If we assume “single signedness condition” on the force, then we can show that a ${C^1 (\mathbb {R}^N)}$ solution (v, p) with ${|v|^2+ |p| \in L^{\frac{q}{2}}(\mathbb {R}^N),\,q \in (\frac{3N}{N-1}, \infty)}$ is trivial, v = 0. For the solution of the steady Navier–Stokes equations, satisfying ${v(x) \to 0}$ as ${|x| \to \infty}$ , the condition ${\int_{\mathbb {R}^3} |\Delta v|^{\frac{6}{5}} dx < \infty}$ , which is stronger than the important D-condition, ${\int_{\mathbb {R}^3} |\nabla v|^2 dx < \infty}$ , but both having the same scaling property, implies that v = 0. In the appendix we reprove Theorem 1.1 (Chae, Commun Math Phys 273:203–215, 2007), using the self-similar Euler equations directly.     

Coupling constant in dispersive model

The average of the moments for event shapes in e ^?+? e??→hadrons within the context of next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD prediction in dispersive model is studied. Moments used in this article are $\langle {1-T}\rangle$ , $\langle \rho\rangle$ , $\langle {B_{\rm T}}\rangle$ and $\langle {B_{\rm W} }\rangle$ . We extract α _s, the coupling constant in perturbative theory and α ₀ in the non-perturbative theory using the dispersive model. By fitting the experimental data, the values of $\alpha_{\rm s} ({M_{\rm Z^0} })=0.1171\pm 0.00229$ and $\alpha_0 \left( {\mu_{\rm I} =2\,{\rm GeV}} \right)=0.5068\pm 0.0440$ are found. Our results are consistent with the above model. Our results are also consistent with those obtained from other experiments at different energies. All these features are explained in this paper.     

Complex Vector Formalism of Harmonic Oscillator in Geometric Algebra: Particle Mass,Spin and Dynamics in Complex Vector Space

Elementary particles are considered as local oscillators under the influence of zeropoint fields. Such oscillatory behavior of the particles leads to the deviations in their path of motion. The oscillations of the particle in general may be considered as complex rotations in complex vector space. The local particle harmonic oscillator is analyzed in the complex vector formalism considering the algebra of complex vectors. The particle spin is viewed as zeropoint angular momentum represented by a bivector. It has been shown that the particle spin plays an important role in the kinematical intrinsic or local motion of the particle. From the complex vector formalism of harmonic oscillator, for the first time, a relation between mass $m$ and bivector spin $S$ has been derived in the form $\varvec{\sigma }_3 mc^2{\mathcal {J}}_{\pm } =\lambda \Omega _{\mathbf{s}} \cdot \mathrm{{S}} {\mathcal {J}}_{\pm }$ . Where, $\Omega _{s}$ is the angular velocity bivector of complex rotations, $c$ is the velocity of light. The unit vector $\varvec{\sigma }_3$ acts as an operator on the idempotents ${\mathcal {J}}_{+}$ and ${\mathcal {J}}_{-}$ to give the eigen values $\lambda =\pm 1.$ The constant $\lambda $ represents two fold nature of the equation corresponding to particle and antiparticle states. Further the above relation shows that the mass of the particle may be interpreted as a local spatial complex rotation in the rest frame. This gives an insight into the nature of fundamental particles. When a particle is observed from an arbitrary frame of reference, it has been shown that the spatial complex rotation dictates the relativistic particle motion. The mathematical structure of complex vectors in space and spacetime is developed.     

Analytic Binding Energies for Two-Baryon Bound States in 2 + 1 Strongly Coupled Lattice QCD With Two-Flavors

We consider a lattice SU(3) QCD model in 2 + 1 dimensions, with two flavors and 2 × 2 spin matrices. An imaginary time functional integral formulation with Wilson’s action is used in the strong coupling regime, i.e. small hopping parameter ${0 < \kappa \ll 1}$ , and much smaller plaquette coupling ${\beta, 0 < \beta \ll \kappa}$ . In this regime, it is known that the low-lying energy-momentum spectrum contains isolated dispersion curves identified with baryons and mesons with asymptotic masses ${m\approx-3\ln\kappa}$ and ${m_m\approx-2\ln\kappa}$ , respectively. We prove the existence of two (labelled by ±) two-baryon bound states for each of the total isospin sectors I = 0,1 and we obtain, in each case, the exact binding energies ${\epsilon_{I\,\pm} }$ (of order ${\kappa^2}$ ) which extend to jointly analytic function in ${\kappa}$ and β. We also prove that these points are the only mass spectrum up to slightly above the bound state masses. Precisely, we show, for ${\alpha_0=\frac 14, \alpha_1=\frac 1{12}, \alpha_2=\frac12, \alpha_3=\frac 34}$ and small ${\delta >0 }$ , that the bound state masses ${2m-\epsilon_{I\,\pm}}$ are the only points in the mass spectrum in ${(0,2m-\epsilon_{I\,\pm}+\delta \alpha_I\kappa^2)}$ , for I = 0,1, and in ${(0,2m-(1+\delta)\alpha_I\kappa^2)}$ , for I = 2,3. These results are exact and validate our previous results obtained in a ladder approximation. The method employs suitable two- and four-point correlations with spectral representations and a lattice Bethe-Salpeter equation. For I = 0,1, a quark, antiquark space-range one potential of order ${\kappa^2}$ is found to be the dominant contribution to the two-baryon interaction and the interaction of the individual quark isospins of one baryon with those of the other is described by permanents. A novel spectral free decomposition (but spectral representation motivated, for real κ and β) of the two-point correlation, after performing a complex extension, is a key ingredient in showing the joint analyticity of the binding energy.     

Dirac multimode ket-bra operators’ \mathfrak{Q}-ordered and \mathfrak{P}-ordered integration theory and general squeezing operator

We develop quantum mechanical Dirac ket-bra operator’s integration theory in $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordering or $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordering to multimode case, where $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordering means all Qs are to the left of all Ps and $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordering means all Ps are to the left of all Qs. As their applications, we derive $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordered and $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordered expansion formulas of multimode exponential operator $e^{ - iP_l \Lambda _{lk} Q_k } $ . Application of the new formula in finding new general squeezing operators is demonstrated. The general exponential operator for coordinate representation transformation $\left| {\left. {\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle \to } \right|\left. {\left( {_{CD}^{AB} } \right)\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle $ is also derived. In this way, much more correpondence relations between classical coordinate transformations and their quantum mechanical images can be revealed.
