Long-Range Orders in Models of Itinerant Electrons Interacting with Heavy Quantum Fields

The Falicov–Kimball model consists of itinerant lattice fermions interacting with Ising spins by an on-site potential of strength U. Kennedy and Lieb proved that at half filling there is a low temperature phase with chessboard long range order on ^d , d2, for all non-zero values of U. Here we investigate the stability of this phase when small quantum fluctuations of the Ising spins are introduced in two different ways. The first one corresponds to replace the classical spins by quantum two level systems attached to each site of the lattice. In the second one we interpret the spins as occupation numbers of localized f-electrons or heavy ions which have a small kinetic energy. This leads to the so-called asymmetric Hubbard model. For both models we prove that for all non-zero values of U the long range order of the original Falicov–Kimball model remains stable if the additional quantum fluctuations are small enough. This result is proved by non-perturbative methods based on a chessboard estimate and the principle of exponential localisation. In order to derive the chessboard estimate the phase factors in the kinetic energy of fermions must have a flux equal to . We also investigate the models where the fermions are replaced by hard-core bosons and prove the same result for large U. For hard core bosons the kinetic term is the conventional one with zero phase factors. For small U and hard-core bosons we find that there is an off-diagonal long range order for low enough temperature and any strength of the additional quantum fluctuations. Open problems are discussed.     

QUANTUM EQUATIONS FOR MASSLESS PARTICLES OF ANY SPIN

By decomposing the mass squared operator for zero mass particles of spin s we obtain one-particle quantum equations for any spin on which 2s–1 subsidiary conditions are imposed. The derived equations are consistent with the two component neutrino equation and the Maxwell equations. Subsidiary conditions for the spins 1, , and 2 are presented.     

Contribution of Sea Quarks and Gluons to the Proton Spin

Contributions of sea quark and gluon spins to the proton spin in Drell-Jahn processes and direct production of photons in proton-proton and proton-antiproton collisions are studied in the present work. Analytical expressions for two-spin asymmetries and are derived. In both processes, these asymmetries are studied and analyzed as functions of the kinematic variables , x _T, and x _F. Measurements of two-spin asymmetries and make it possible to determine the individual contributions of sea quark and gluon spins to the proton spin.     

Quantum action principle in curved space

Schwinger's action principle is formulated for the quantum system which corresponds to the classical system described by the LagrangianL _c( , x)=(M/2)g_ij(x) ^{i j}–v(x). It is sufficient for the purpose of deriving the laws of quantum mechanics to consider onlyc-number variations of coordinates and time. The Euler-Lagrange equation, the canonical commutation relations, and the canonical equations of motion are derived from this principle in a consistent manner. Further, it is shown that an arbitrary point transformation leaves the forms of the fundamental equations invariant. The judicious choice of the quantal Lagrangian is essential in our formulation. A quantum mechanical analog of Noether's theorem, which relates the invariance of the quantal action with a conservation law, is established. The ambiguities in the quantal Lagrangian are also discussed and it is pointed out that the requirement of invariance is not sufficient to determine uniquely the quantal Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian.     

Unstructured Adiabatic Quantum Search

In the adiabatic quantum computation model, a computational procedure is described by the continuous time evolution of a time dependent Hamiltonian. We apply this method to the Grover's problem, i.e., searching a marked item in an unstructured database. Classically, the problem can be solved only in a running time of order O(N) (where N is the number of items in the database), whereas in the quantum model a speed up of order has been obtained. We show that in the adiabatic quantum model, by a suitable choice of the time-dependent Hamiltonian, it is possible to do the calculation in constant time, independent of the the number of items in the database. However, in this case the initial time-complexity of is replaced by the complexity of implementing the driving Hamiltonian.     

Monte Carlo simulations concerning zero field host NMR in aCuMn spin glass

Own recent Monte Carlo calculations have been improved and extended. A three dimensionalCuMn spin glass with 3 at % Mn has been simulated. 6.912 lattice points and 207 classical Heisenberg spins with have been employed. Only RKKY and dipole interaction are introduced. For both interactions experimentally measured values of coupling strengths at 18 discrete near neighbour sites have been used. The distribution of hyperfine fieldsH _L at host nuclei sites and the distribution of exchange fieldsH _j for Mn spins have been calculated. Anisotropy fields of a field cooled sample have been evaluated beingH _a=1.0 kOe (H _c=2.5 kOe);H _a=0.7 kOe (H _c=5.5 kOe) andH _a=0.5 kOe (H _c=7.5 kOe). Two complete hysteresis cycles of two different statistical alloys were calculated showing both a sharp magnetization step one atH _d=–0.36 kOe and the other atH _d=–0.19 kOe. The details of spin orientation during a hysteresis cycle have been viewed. For small external fields the calculations are in favour of Allouls one domain model. The magnetization step occurs within the system of single spins. The magnetization of clusters remains constant during the whole hysteresis cycle. The calculations of the NMR enhancement factor are in general agreement with experiment.Tempelmann, C., Brömer, H.: Europhysics Conference Abstracts 9A, PWc-6-117 (1985)     

Noncommutative Unification of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. A Finite Model

We construct a model unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics in a broader structure of noncommutative geometry. The geometry in question is that of a transformation groupoid given by the action of a finite group on a space E. We define the algebra of smooth complex valued functions on , with convolution as multiplication, in terms of which the groupoid geometry is developed. Owing to the fact that the group G is finite the model can be computed in full details. We show that by suitable averaging of noncommutative geometric quantities one recovers the standard space-time geometry. The quantum sector of the model is explored in terms of the regular representation of the algebra , and its correspondence with the standard quantum mechanics is established.     

Systems of covariance in quantum probability

Symmetry groups and systems of covariance are investigated in the framework of quantum probability theory. It is shown that a measurementX can be represented by a positive operator-valued measure on a sectorS of the amplitude space. Moreover, provides a generalized system of covariance for the generalized unitary representation of a symmetry group.     

Generalization of the $$\mathcal{U} $$ q (gl(N)) Algebra and Staggered Models

We develop a technique for the construction of integrable models with a ₂ grading of both the auxiliary (chain) and quantum (time) spaces. These models have a staggered disposition of the anisotropy parameter. The corresponding Yang–Baxter equations are written down and their solution for the gl(N) case is found. We analyze in details the N = 2 case and find the corresponding quantum group behind this solution. It can be regarded as the quantum group , with a matrix deformation parameter q such that (q )² = q ². The symmetry behind these models can also be interpreted as the tensor product of the (–1)-Weyl algebra by an extension of _q (gl(N)) with a Cartan generator related to deformation parameter –1.     

Quantum algebra structure of certain Jackson integrals

Theq-difference system satisfied by Jackson integrals with a configuration ofA-type root system is studied. We explicitly construct some linear combination of Jackson integrals, which satisfies the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation for the 2-point correlation function ofq-vertex operators, introduced by Frenkel and Reshetikhin, for the quantum affine algebra . The expression of integrands for then-point case is conjectured, and a set of linear relations for the corresponding Jackson integrals is proved.     

Classical probabilities for Majorana and Weyl spinors

We construct a map between the quantum field theory of free Weyl or Majorana fermions and the probability distribution of a classical statistical ensemble for Ising spins or discrete bits. More precisely, a Grassmann functional integral based on a real Grassmann algebra specifies the time evolution of the real wave function q_τ(t) for the Ising states τ. The time dependent probability distribution of a generalized Ising model obtains as . The functional integral employs a lattice regularization for single Weyl or Majorana spinors. We further introduce the complex structure characteristic for quantum mechanics. Probability distributions of the Ising model which correspond to one or many propagating fermions are discussed explicitly. Expectation values of observables can be computed equivalently in the classical statistical Ising model or in the quantum field theory for fermions.     

Classification of three-dimensional covariant differential calculi on Podles' quantum spheres and on related spaces

Covariant differential calculi on the quantum space for the quantum group SL _q (2) are classified. Our main assumptions are thatq is not a root of unity and that the differentials de _j of the generators of form a free right module basis for the first-order forms. Our result says, in particular, that apart from the two casesc =c(3), there exists a unique differential calculus with the above properties on the space which corresponds to Podles' quantum sphereS _qc ^/2 .     

Aφ factory to investigate the foundations of quantum mechanics

A bound on theK oscillating parameter has been obtained by some models of nonlocality. In this paper we stress the fact that aø factory to test the CP-violating parameters in theK system can also probe, through correlated observations of two ⁰, the incompatibility between the quantum mechanics and these formulations of the local realism.     

Complex Hyperspherical Equations, Nodal-Partitioning, and First-Excited-State Theorems in ℝ n

Three problems related to the spherical quantum billiard in are considered. In the first, a compact form of the hyperspherical equations leads to their complex contracted representation. Employing these contracted equations, a proof is given of Courant's nodal-symmetry intersection theorem for diagonal eigenstates of spherical-like quantum billiards in . The second topic addresses the first-excited-state theorem for the spherical quantum billiard in . Wavefunctions for this system are given by the product form, ( )Z _q+()Y ⁽ⁿ⁾ , where is dimensionless displacement, is angular-momentum number, qis an integer function of dimension, Z() is either a spherical Bessel function (nodd) or a Bessel function of the first kind (neven) and represents (n– 1) independent angular components. Generalized spherical harmonics are written . It is found that the first excited state (i.e., the second eigenstate of the Laplacian) for the spherical quantum billiard in is n-fold degenerate and a first excited state for this quantum billiard exists which contains a nodal bisecting hypersurface of mirror symmetry. These findings establish the first-excited-state theorem for the spherical quantum billiard in . In a third study, an expression is derived for the dimension of the th irreducible representation (irrep) of the rotation group O(n) in by enumerating independent degenerate product eigenstates of the Laplacian.     

Coordinates of the quantum plane as q-tensor operators in (\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2)*\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2))

The relation between the set of transformations of the quantum plane and the quantum universal enveloping algebra U _q (u(2)) is investigated by constructing representations of the factor algebra U _q (u(2))* . The noncommuting coordinates of , on which U _q (2) * U _q (2) acts, are realized as q-spinors with respect to each U _q (u(2)) algebra. The representation matrices of U _q (2) are constructed as polynomials in these spinor components. This construction allows a derivation of the commutation relations of the noncommuting coordinates of directly from properties of U _q (u(2)). The generalization of these results to U _q (u(n)) and is also discussed.     

Finitary Spacetime Sheaves of Quantum Causal Sets: Curving Quantum Causality

A locally finite, causal, and quantal substitute for a locally Minkowskian principal fiber bundle of modules of Cartan differential forms over a bounded region X of a curved C -smooth spacetime manifold M with structure group G that of orthochronous Lorentz transformations L ⁺ := SO(1,3), is presented. is usually regarded as the kinematical structure of classical Lorentzian gravity when the latter is viewed as a Yang-Mills type of gauge theory of a sl(2, {})-valued connection 1-form . The mathematical structure employed to model this replacement of is a principal finitary spacetime sheaf of quantum causal sets with structure group G _n, which is a finitary version of the continuous group G of local symmetries of General Relativity, and a finitary Lie algebra g _n-valued connection 1-form on it, which is a section of its subsheaf . is physically interpreted as the dynamical field of a locally finite quantum causality, whereas its associated curvature as some sort of finitary and causal Lorentzian quantum gravity.     

A fundamental link between system theory and statistical mechanics

A fundamental link between system theory and statistical mechanics has been found to be established by the Kolmogorov entropy K. By this quantity the temporal evolution of dynamical systems can be classified into regular, chaotic, and stochastic processes. Since K represents a measure for the internal information creation rate of dynamical systems, it provides an approach to irreversibility. The formal relationship to statistical mechanics is derived by means of an operator formalism originally introduced by Prigogine. For a Liouville operator L and an information operator acting on a distribution in phase space, it is shown that i[L, ]KI (I=identity operator). As a first consequence of this equivalence, a relation is obtained between the chaotic correlation time of a system and Prigogine's concept of a finite duration of presence. Finally, the existence of chaos in quantum systems is discussed with respect to the existence of a quantum mechanical time operator.     

Quantum cohomology of partial flag manifoldsF_{n_1 } \ldots _{n_k }

We compute the quantum cohomology rings of the partial flag manifolds . The inductive computation uses the idea of Givental and Kim [1]. Also we define a notion of the vertical quantum cohomology ring of the algebraic bundle. For the flag bundle (E) associated with the vector bundleE this ring is found.     

Finite dimensional representations of the quantum analog of the enveloping algebra of a complex simple Lie algebra

Let be a complex simple Lie algebra. We show that whent is not a root of 1 all finite dimensional representations of the quantum analogU _t are completely reducible, and we classify the irreducible ones in terms of highest weights. In particular, they can be seen as deformations of the representations of the (classical)U .
