On the boson mapping of fermion collective pairs

We study the problem of the mapping of fermion collective pairs onto particle-particle bosons and of different fermion operators (hamiltonian, one- and two-particle transfer operators) onto corresponding boson ones and we test the consequences of the truncation to lowest orders of these boson operators. We find that, although the lowest-order terms in the expansion of the operators in boson space lead to matrix elements between boson states which display the qualitative behaviour of the corresponding ones between fermion states, higher-order terms are required to get a quantitative agreement when a large number of particles are involved, as a direct consequence of the increased role of the Pauli principle.     

Test of the Skyrme effective field theory using quenched lattice QCD

The Skyrme effective field theory is tested by evaluating nucleon ground-state matrix elements of the correlation functions for two flavor density operators and two pseudoscalar density operators in the Skyrme model and comparing them with results in quenched lattice QCD. The possibility of using quenched lattice QCD to study higher-order terms in effective field theory is also discussed.     

Cavity bounds on higher-order lorentz-violating coefficients

We determine the sensitivity of a modern Michelson-Morley resonant-cavity experiment to higher-order nonbirefringent and nondispersive coefficients of the Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. Data from a recent year-long run of the experiment are used to place the first experimental bounds on coefficients associated with nonrenormalizable Lorentz-violating operators.     

Higher-Order Nonclassicality in Photon Added and Subtracted Qudit States

Higher-order nonclassical properties of r photon added and t photon subtracted qudit states (referred to as rPAQS and tPSQS, respectively) are investigated here to answer: How addition and subtraction of photon can be used to engineer higher-order nonclassical properties of qudit states? To obtain the answer, higher-order moment of relevant bosonic field operators is first obtained and subsequently used to study the higher-order nonclassical properties (e.g., higher-order antibunching, higher-order squeezing, and higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics) of the corresponding states. These witnesses establish that rPAQS and tPSQS are highly nonclassical. To quantitatively establish this observation and to make a comparison between rPAQS and tPSQS, volumes of the negative part of Wigner function are computed. Finally, for the sake of verifiability of the obtained results, optical tomograms are also reported. Throughout the study, a particular type of qudit state named as a new generalized binomial state is used as an example.     

Energy stable numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations using overlapping domain decomposition

Overlapping domain decomposition methods, otherwise known as overset grid or chimera methods, are useful for simplifying the discretization of partial differential equations in or around complex geometries. Though in wide use, such methods are prone to numerical instability unless numerical diffusion or some other form of regularization is used, especially for higher-order methods. To address this shortcoming, high-order, provably energy stable, overlapping domain decomposition methods are derived for hyperbolic initial boundary value problems. The overlap is treated by splitting the domain into pieces and using generalized summation-by-parts derivative operators and polynomial interpolation. New implicit and explicit operators are derived that do not require regularization for stability in the linear limit. Applications to linear and nonlinear problems in one and two dimensions are presented, where it is found the explicit operators are preferred to the implicit ones.     

Higher-order correlation functions of the planar ising model

A method of calculating the asymptotic behaviour of the higher-order correlation functions for large distances is proposed for the planar Ising model in the absence of a magnetic field. The three-point correlation functions composed of a spin operator or of energy-density operators are considered. The asymptotic behaviour of the correlation functions for distances R ? R_c (where R_c is the correlation radius) is determined. It is shown that the asymptotic behaviour of the correlation functions for large distances does not depend on the choice of operators. The asymptotic behaviour of the correlation functions in which two operators are relatively close to one another is considered near the critical point. The results which we obtained are compared with the predictions of the scaling laws and operator algebra.     

Constructing p,n-forms from p-forms via the Hodge star operator and the exterior derivative

In this paper, we aim to explore the properties and applications on the operators consisting of the Hodge star operator together with the exterior derivative, whose action on an arbitrary p-form field in n-dimensional spacetimes makes its form degree remain invariant. Such operations are able to generate a variety of p-forms with the even-order derivatives of the p-form. To do this, we first investigate the properties of the operators, such as the Laplace–de Rham operator, the codifferential and their combinations, as well as the applications of the operators in the construction of conserved currents. On the basis of two general p-forms, then we construct a general n-form with higher-order derivatives. Finally, we propose that such an n-form could be applied to define a generalized Lagrangian with respect to a p-form field according to the fact that it includes the ordinary Lagrangians for the p-form and scalar fields as special cases.     

Conformally covariant composite operators in quantum chromodynamics

Conformal covariance is shown to determine renormalization properties of composite operators in QCD and in the ϕ₆³-model at the one-loop level. Its relevance to higher-order (renormalization group improved) perturbative calculations in the short-distance limit is also discussed. Light cone operator product expansions and spectral representations for wavefunctions in QCD are derived.     

pn-QRPA and higher-order approximations

The proton-neutron Quasi-particle Random Phase Approximation (pn-QRPA) is reviewed and higher-order approximations discussed with reference to the beta decay physics. The approach is fully developed in a boson formalism. Working within a schematic model, we first illustrate a fermion-boson mapping procedure and apply it to construct boson images of the fermion Hamiltonian at different levels of approximation. The quality of these images is tested through a comparison between approximate and exact spectra. Standard QRPA equations are derived in correspondence with the quasi-boson limit of the boson Hamiltonian. The use of higher-order Hamiltonians is seen to improve considerably the stability of the approximate solutions. The mapping procedure is also applied to Fermi beta operators and transition amplitudes are discussed. The range of applicability of the QRPA formalism is examined.

Two-dimensional supersymmetry: From SUSY quantum mechanics to integrable classical models

Two known two-dimensional SUSY quantum mechanical constructions—the direct generalization of SUSY with first-order supercharges and higher-order SUSY with second-order supercharges—are combined for a class of 2-dim quantum models, which are not amenable to separation of variables. The appropriate classical limit of quantum systems allows us to construct SUSY-extensions of original classical scalar Hamiltonians. Special emphasis is placed on the symmetry properties of the models thus obtained—the explicit expressions of quantum symmetry operators and of classical integrals of motion are given for all (scalar and matrix) components of SUSY-extensions. Using Grassmanian variables, the symmetry operators and classical integrals of motion are written in a unique form for the whole Superhamiltonian. The links of the approach to the classical Hamilton-Jacobi method for related “flipped” potentials are established.     

Variational derivation of KdV-type models for surface water waves

Using the Hamiltonian formulation of surface waves, we approximate the kinetic energy and restrict the governing generalized action principle to a submanifold of uni-directional waves. Different from the usual method of using a series expansion in parameters related to wave height and wavelength, the variational methods retains the Hamiltonian structure (with consequent energy and momentum conservation) and makes it possible to derive equations for any dispersive approximation. Consequentially, the procedure is valid for waves above finite and above infinite depth, and for any approximation of dispersion, while quadratic terms in the wave height are modeled correctly. For finite depth this leads to higher-order KdV type of equations with terms of different spatial order. For waves above infinite depth, the pseudo-differential operators cannot be approximated by finite differential operators and all quadratic terms are of the same spatial order.     

First integrals of motion in a gauge covariant framework, Killing-Maxwell system and quantum anomalies

Hidden symmetries in a covariant Hamiltonian framework are investigated. The special role of the Stackel-Killing and Killing-Yano tensors is pointed out. The covariant phase-space is extended to include external gauge fields and scalar potentials. We investigate the possibility for a higher-order symmetry to survive when the electromagnetic interactions are taken into account. Aconcrete realization of this possibility is given by the Killing-Maxwell system. The classical conserved quantities do not generally transfer to the quantized systems producing quantum gravitational anomalies. As a rule the conformal extension of the Killing vectors and tensors does not produce symmetry operators for the Klein-Gordon operator.     

SymGF: a symbolic tool for quantum transport analysis and its application to a double quantum dot system

We report the development and an application of a symbolic tool, called SymGF, for analytical derivations of quantum transport properties using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism. The inputs to SymGF are the device Hamiltonian in the second quantized form, the commutation relation of the operators and the truncation rules of the correlators. The outputs of SymGF are the desired NEGF that appear in the transport formula, in terms of the unperturbed Green's function of the device scattering region and its coupling to the device electrodes. For complicated transport analysis involving strong interactions and correlations, SymGF provides significant assistance in analytical derivations. Using this tool, we investigate coherent quantum transport in a double quantum dot system where strong on-site interaction exists in the side-coupled quantum dot. Results obtained by the higher-order approximation and Hartree-Fock approximation are compared. The higher-order approximation reveals Kondo resonance features in the density of states and conductances. Results are compared both qualitatively and quantitatively to the experimental data reported in the literature.     

Towards the effective potential of the littlest Higgs model

We compute the relevant parameters of the combined Higgs and φ scalar effective potential in the littlest Higgs (LH) model. These parameters are obtained as the sum of two kinds of contributions. The first one is the one-loop radiative corrections coming from fermions and gauge bosons. The second one is obtained at tree level from the higher-order effective operators needed for the ultraviolet completion of the model. Finally, we analyze the restrictions that the requirement of reproducing the standard electroweak symmetry breaking of the SM set on the LH model parameters.     

Higher-order squeezing and sub-poissonian photon statistics in CARS and CAHRS

The Squeezing and sub-poissonian photon statistics of an optical field are a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon and has been accepted as means of achieving noise below the quantum shot-noise limit. The effect of higher-order squeezing and sub-poissonian nature of an optical field in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and coherent anti-Stokes hyper Raman scattering (CAHRS) are investigated under short-time approximation. The coupled Heisenberg equations of motion involving real and imaginary parts of the quadrature operators are established and solved under short-time scale. The dependence of squeezing on the number of photons is also investigated. It is also shown that higher-order squeezing allows a much larger fractional noise reduction than lower-order squeezing. The occurrence of amplitude squeezing effects of the radiation field in the fundamental mode is investigated in both the processes. The present work shows that squeezing is greater in CAHRS than the corresponding squeezing in CARS. It is also shown that squeezing is greater in stimulated process than corresponding squeezing in spontaneous interaction. The conditions for obtaining maximum and minimum squeezing are obtained. The photon statistics of the pump mode in the processes has also been investigated and found to be sub-poissonian in nature.     

Low-Lying Pentaquark Baryons in Pseudoscalar-Vector SU（3） Skyrme Model

For the first time the low-lying J = 1/2 pentaquark states are investigated in the pseudoscalar-vector Skyrme model. Once the conventional baryon properties are fit, other states are predicted without any more adjustable parameters. Furthermore, both symmetry-breaking and decay operators are treated in full. In particular, we focus on the calculations of mass and decay width, and compare them with the experimental data available and relevant theoretical results obtained in other pictures. We recognize that the higher-order contributions, such as the 35 and/or 35 representation admixtures, are not negligible. Our analysis provides some valuable clues to the physical mechanisms, and the oncoming experimental search and/or confirmation could provide a sharp test of our proposal     

Intermolecular Zero-Quantum Coherences of Multi-component Spin Systems in Solution NMR

Intermolecular zero-quantum coherences (iZQC) induced by the dipolar demagnetizing field can give bothP- andN-type cross peaks. This paper shows that the relative intensities of the two types of iZQC peaks follow a simple relation, tan²(θ/2), from both the quantum (spin density matrix) and classical (modified Bloch equation) calculations. The experimental data and numerical simulations agree well with the prediction. In addition, higher-order iZQCs are experimentally examined for the first time and are explained by the quantum picture in which dipolar couplings convert four-spin operators into observable magnetization.     

On the theory of nonlinear response in a nonideal plasma

A theory of nonlinear response is developed for studying nonlinear phenomena and nonlinear transport processes in nonideal Coulomb systems. Temporal plasma echo and transformation of waves in a nonideal Coulomb system are studied on the basis of the theory of nonlinear response to mechanical perturbations. General constraints imposed on nonlinear response functions are considered, and the model for determining quadratic response functions is formulated. The conditions for the emergence of temporal plasma echo and wave transformation are determined. It is shown that these nonlinear effects in a nonideal plasma can be initiated by ultrashort field pulses. A theory of transport is developed for determining the Burnett transport properties of a nonideal multielement plasma. A procedure is proposed for comparing the phenomenological conservation equations for a charged continuous medium and equations of motion for the operators of corresponding dynamic variables. The Mori algorithm is used for deriving the equations of motion for operators of dynamic variables in the form of generalized Langevin equations. The linearized Burnett approximation is considered in detail. The properties of the matrices of coefficients of higher-order derivatives in the system of conservation equations in the linearized Burnett approximation, which are important for hydrodynamic applications, are discussed. Various versions of the theory of nonlinear response are compared.     

Universal invariants in quantum mechanics and physics of optical and particle beams

We give a brief review of the theory of quantum universal invariants and their counterparts in the physics of light and particle beams. The invariants concerned are certain combinations of the second- and higher-order moments (variances) of quantum-mechanical operators, or the transverse phase-space coordinates of the paraxial beams of light or particles. They are conserved in time (or along the beam axis) independently of the concrete form of the coefficients of the Schrödinger-like equations governing the evolution of the systems, provided that the effective Hamiltonian is either a generic quadratic form of the generalized coordinate-momenta operators or a linear combination of generators of some finite-dimensional algebra (in particular, any semisimple Lie algebra). Using the phase space representation of quantum mechanics (paraxial optics) in terms of the Wigner function, we elucidate the relation of the quantum (optical) invariants to the classical universal integral invariants of Poincaré and Cartan. The specific features of Gaussian beams are discussed as examples. The concept of the universal quantum integrals of motion is introduced, and examples of the “universal invariant solutions” to the Schrödinger equation, i.e., self-consistent eigenstates of the universal integrals of motion, are given.
