Non-relativistic Limit of a Dirac Polaron in Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics

A quantum system of a Dirac particle interacting with the quantum radiation field is considered in the case where no external potentials exist. Then the total momentum of the system is conserved and the total Hamiltonian is unitarily equivalent to the direct integral of a family of self-adjoint operators acting in the Hilbert space , where is the Hilbert space of the quantum radiation field. The fiber operator is called the Hamiltonian of the Dirac polaron with total momentum . The main result of this paper is concerned with the non-relativistic (scaling) limit of . It is proven that the non-relativistic limit of yields a self-adjoint extension of a Hamiltonian of a polaron with spin 1/2 in non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics.     

On the Uniqueness of Weak Weyl Representations of the Canonical Commutation Relation

Let (T, H) be a weak Weyl representation of the canonical commutation relation (CCR) with one degree of freedom. Namely T is a symmetric operator and H is a self-adjoint operator on a complex Hilbert space satisfying the weak Weyl relation: for all (the set of real numbers), e^−itH D(T) ⊂ D(T) (i is the imaginary unit and D(T) denotes the domain of T) and . In the context of quantum theory where H is a Hamiltonian, T is called a strong time operator of H. In this paper we prove the following theorem on uniqueness of weak Weyl representations: Let be separable. Assume that H is bounded below with and , where is the set of complex numbers and, for a linear operator A on a Hilbert space, σ(A) denotes the spectrum of A. Then ( is the closure of T) is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of the weak Weyl representation on the Hilbert space , where is the multiplication operator by the variable and with . Using this theorem, we construct a Weyl representation of the CCR from the weak Weyl representation .

Cohomology of $${\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2)$$ Acting on Linear Differential Operators on the Supercircle S1|1

We compute the first cohomology spaces of the Lie superalgebra with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators acting on weighted densities on the supercircle S ^1|1. The structure of these spaces was conjectured in (Gargoubi et al. in Lett Math Phys 79:5165, 2007). In fact, we prove here that the situation is a little bit more complicated.      

Compound Basis Arising from the Basic {A^{(1)}_{1}}-Module

Integrable Discrete Nets in Grassmannians

We consider discrete nets in Grassmannians , which generalize Q-nets (maps with planar elementary quadrilaterals) and Darboux nets (-valued maps defined on the edges of such that quadruples of points corresponding to elementary squares are all collinear). We give a geometric proof of integrability (multidimensional consistency) of these novel nets, and show that they are analytically described by the noncommutative discrete Darboux system.      

Double Product Integrals and Enriquez Quantisation of Lie Bialgebras II: The Quantum Yang–Baxter Equation

For a Lie algebra with Lie bracket got by taking commutators in a nonunital associative algebra , let be the vector space of tensors over equipped with the Itô Hopf algebra structure derived from the associative multiplication in . It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition that the double product integral satisfy the quantum Yang–Baxter equation over is that satisfy the same equation over the unital associative algebra got by adjoining a unit element to . In particular, the first-order coefficient r₁ of r[h] satisfies the classical Yang–Baxter equation. Using the fact that the multiplicative inverse of is where is the inverse of in we construct a quantisation of an arbitrary quasitriangular Lie bialgebra structure on in the unital associative subalgebra of consisting of formal power series whose zero order coefficient lies in the space of symmetric tensors. The deformation coproduct acts on by conjugating the undeformed coproduct by and the coboundary structure r of is given by where is the flip.Mathematical Subject Classification (2000). 53D55, 17B62

$${\mathsf{N}}$$ -Complexes as Functors,Amplitude Cohomology and Fusion Rules

We consider -complexes as functors over an appropriate linear category in order to show first that the Krull-Schmidt Theorem holds, then to prove that amplitude cohomology (called generalized cohomology by M. Dubois-Violette) only vanishes on injective functors providing a well defined functor on the stable category. For left truncated -complexes, we show that amplitude cohomology discriminates the isomorphism class up to a projective functor summand. Moreover amplitude cohomology of positive -complexes is proved to be isomorphic to an Ext functor of an indecomposable -complex inside the abelian functor category. Finally we show that for the monoidal structure of -complexes a Clebsch-Gordan formula holds, in other words the fusion rules for -complexes can be determined.

For an N-body Stark Hamiltonian , the resolvent estimate holds uniformly in with Re and Im , where , and is a compact interval. This estimate is well known as the limiting absorption principle. In this paper, we report that by introducing the localization in the configuration space, a refined resolvent estimate holds uniformly in with Re and Im .

Zero Modes’ Fusion Ring and Braid Group Representations for the Extended Chiral <Emphasis Type="Italic">su</Emphasis>(2) WZNW Model

A zero modes’ Fock space is constructed for the extended chiral WZNW model. It gives room to a realization of the fusion ring of representations of the restricted quantum universal enveloping algebra at an even root of unity, and of its infinite dimensional extension by the Lusztig operators We provide a streamlined derivation of the characteristic equation for the Casimir invariant from the defining relations of A central result is the characterization of the Grothendieck ring of both and in Theorem 3.1. The properties of the fusion ring in are related to the braiding properties of correlation functions of primary fields of the conformal current algebra model.

Renormalized Traces and Cocycles on the Algebra of S 1-Pseudo-differential Operators

Using renormalized (or weighted) traces of classical pseudo-differential operators and calculus on formal symbols. We exhibit three cocycles on the Lie algebra of classical pseudo-differential operators $Cl(S^1,\mathbb{C}^n)Using renormalized (or weighted) traces of classical pseudo-differential operators and calculus on formal symbols. We exhibit three cocycles on the Lie algebra of classical pseudo-differential operators acting on . We first show that the Schwinger functional associated to the Dirac operator is a cocycle on , and not only on a restricted algebra Then, we investigate two bilinear functionals and , which satisfies We show that and are two cocycles in , and and have the same nonvanishing cohomology class. We finaly calculate on classical pseudo-differential operators of order 1 and on differential operators of order 1, in terms of partial symbols.

On The Structure and Representations of the Insertion–Elimination Lie Algebra

We examine the structure of the insertion–elimination Lie algebra on rooted trees introduced in Connes and Kreimer (Ann. Henri Poincar 3(3):411–433, 2002). It possesses a triangular structure , like the Heisenberg, Virasoro, and affine algebras. We show in particular that it is simple, which in turn implies that it has no finite-dimensional representations. We consider a category of lowest-weight representations, and show that irreducible representations are uniquely determined by a “lowest weight” . We show that each irreducible representation is a quotient of a Verma-type object, which is generically irreducible.      

A Kolmogorov Extension Theorem for POVMs

We prove a theorem about positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs) that is an analog of the Kolmogorov extension theorem, a standard theorem of probability theory. According to our theorem, if a sequence of POVMs G _n on satisfies the consistency (or projectivity) condition then there is a POVM G on the space of infinite sequences that has G _n as its marginal for the first n entries of the sequence. We also describe an application in quantum theory. The main proof in this article was first formulated in my habilitation thesis [6].     

Spectrum of Time Operators

Let H be a self-adjoint operator on a complex Hilbert space . A symmetric operator T on is called a time operator of H if, for all , (D(T) denotes the domain of T) and . In this paper, spectral properties of T are investigated. The following results are obtained: (i) If H is bounded below, then σ(T), the spectrum of T, is either (the set of complex numbers) or . (ii) If H is bounded above, then is either or . (iii) If H is bounded, then . The spectrum of time operators of free Hamiltonians for both nonrelativistic and relativistic particles is exactly identified. Moreover spectral analysis is made on a generalized time operator.

An Infinite Genus Mapping Class Group and Stable Cohomology

We exhibit a finitely generated group whose rational homology is isomorphic to the rational stable homology of the mapping class group. It is defined as a mapping class group associated to a surface of infinite genus, and contains all the pure mapping class groups of compact surfaces of genus g with n boundary components, for any g ≥ 0 and n > 0. We construct a representation of into the restricted symplectic group of the real Hilbert space generated by the homology classes of non-separating circles on , which generalizes the classical symplectic representation of the mapping class groups. Moreover, we show that the first universal Chern class in is the pull-back of the Pressley-Segal class on the restricted linear group via the inclusion . L.
