Exact classical and quantum solutions for a covariant oscillator near the black hole horizon in Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron theory

We found exact solutions for canonical classical and quantum dynamics for general relativity in Horwitz general covariance theory. These solutions can be obtained by solving the generalized geodesic equation and Schrödinger-Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron (SHP) wave equation for a simple harmonic oscillator in the background of a two dimensional dilaton black hole spacetime metric. We proved the existence of an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions for generalized wave equation. This basis functions form an orthogonal and normalized (orthonormal) basis for an appropriate Hilbert space. The energy spectrum has a mixed spectrum with one conserved momentum p according to a quantum number n. To find the ground state energy we used a variational method with appropriate boundary conditions. A set of mode decomposed wave functions and calculated for the Stueckelberg-Schrodinger equation on a general five dimensional blackhole spacetime in Hamilton gauge.     

High momentum nucleons in the nucleus

Using Jastrow form for the nuclear wave function, single-particle distributions in the momentum space are extracted for the correlation functions corresponding to the Reid soft core, Hamada-Johnston and Ohmura-Morita-Yamada (OMY) hard core potentials. The correlations functions used for this purpose are the numerical solutions of the Schrödinger type equation for the realistic potentials and analytical form for the OMY potential. It is found that the calculated momentum distributions, with Woods-Saxon basis functions, differ significantly beyond 400 MeV/c. Comparison with the experimental proton momentum distribution from (γ, p) reaction suggests that while the OMY potential results are nearer to the experimental values, the realistic potentials do not introduce the high momentum components to the required extent.     

The interpretation of binary (e, 2e) spectroscopy using spin-coupled theory

We discuss the possible interpretation of the (e, 2e) scattering technique (electron momentum spectroscopy) in terms of spin-coupled wave functions. The spin-coupled method is a modern valence bond approach which is based on a simple picture of singly occupied orbitais. In general these are highly localized, unlike their molecular orbital theory counterparts, and this has important consequences for the form of the momentum space orbitais to which the experimental differential cross-sections can be related. We compare spin-coupled and molecular orbital electron densities for individual orbitais of LiH, NH, CH₂CHF and CH₂CHCl, both in momentum space and in the more familiar position space representation. Finally, we comment briefly on the possible significance of this new approach for resolving the present discrepancies between theory and experiment for NH₃, H₂O and HF.     

Helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions for nonzero skewness

We investigate the helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions (GPDs) in momentum as well as transverse position (impact) spaces for the u and d quarks in a proton when the momentum transfer in both the transverse and the longitudinal directions are nonzero. The GPDs are evaluated using the light-front wave functions of a quark–diquark model for nucleon where the wave functions are constructed by the soft-wall AdS/QCD correspondence. We also express the GPDs in the boost-invariant longitudinal position space.     

On number and angular momentum projection from Hartree-Bogoliubov states

Rotational spectra, calculated by angular momentum projection from Hartree-Bogoliubov states may be completely distorted by particle number nonconservation. A simple method for correcting this is presented, which brings them close to the number projected spectra. It is also shown that by a slight modification of the usual number projection operator this projection may then be executed two times faster and with better numerical accuracy. We study the effect ofJ- and/orN projection before the variation in a constrained Hartree-Bogoliubov model. It is demonstrated that only simultaneous projection of both particle number and angular momentum before the variation is meaningful. Then a more gradual antipairing effect is found than known from previous work. We conclude however that the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in a space of appropriately chosen generator wave functions is preferable to projection before the variation. In all cases the examples are nuclei in thesd-shell, calculated selfconsistently without separating off and inert core. The nucleon-nucleon force is the Hamada-Johnston potential.     

Multiscale finite element methods for high-contrast problems using local spectral basis functions

In this paper we study multiscale finite element methods (MsFEMs) using spectral multiscale basis functions that are designed for high-contrast problems. Multiscale basis functions are constructed using eigenvectors of a carefully selected local spectral problem. This local spectral problem strongly depends on the choice of initial partition of unity functions. The resulting space enriches the initial multiscale space using eigenvectors of local spectral problem. The eigenvectors corresponding to small, asymptotically vanishing, eigenvalues detect important features of the solutions that are not captured by initial multiscale basis functions. Multiscale basis functions are constructed such that they span these eigenfunctions that correspond to small, asymptotically vanishing, eigenvalues. We present a convergence study that shows that the convergence rate (in energy norm) is proportional to (H/Λ₁)^1/2, where Λ₁ is proportional to the minimum of the eigenvalues that the corresponding eigenvectors are not included in the coarse space. Thus, we would like to reach to a larger eigenvalue with a smaller coarse space. This is accomplished with a careful choice of initial multiscale basis functions and the setup of the eigenvalue problems. Numerical results are presented to back-up our theoretical results and to show higher accuracy of MsFEMs with spectral multiscale basis functions. We also present a hierarchical construction of the eigenvectors that provides CPU savings.     

Nuclear dependence of structure functions in coordinate space

The momentum distributions of partons in bound nucleons are known to depend significantly on the size of the nucleus. The Fourier transform of the momentum (x _Bj) distribution measures the overlap between Fock components of the nucleon wave function which differ by a displacement of one parton along the light cone. The magnitude of the overlap thus determines the average range of mobility of the parton in the nucleon. By comparing the Fourier transforms of structure functions for several nuclei we study the dependence of quark mobility on nuclear size. We find a surprisingly small nuclear dependence (< 2% for He, C and Ca) for displacements t = z ? 2.5 fm, after which a nuclear suppression due to shadowing sets in. The nuclear effects observed in momentum space for x _Bj ? 0.4 can be understood as a reflection of only the large distance shadowing in coordinate space.     

Generalized parton distributions of the photon

We present a first calculation of the generalized parton distributions of the photon (both polarized and unpolarized) using overlaps of light-front wave functions at leading order in α and zeroth order in αs; for non-zero transverse momentum transfer and zero skewness. We present the novel parton content of the photon in transverse position space.     

Asymptotics of Rydberg States for the Hydrogen Atom

The asymptotics of Rydberg states, i.e., highly excited bound states of the hydrogen atom Hamiltonian, and various expectations involving these states are investigated. We show that suitable linear combinations of these states, appropriately rescaled and regarded as functions either in momentum space or configuration space, are highly concentrated on classical momentum space or configuration space Kepler orbits respectively, for large quantum numbers. Expectations of momentum space or configuration space functions with respect to these states are related to time-averages of these functions over Kepler orbits.

Universality of Three-Body Systems in 2D: Parametrization of the Bound States Energies

Universal properties of mass-imbalanced three-body systems in 2D are studied using zero-range interactions in momentum space. The dependence of the three-particle binding energy on the parameters (masses and two-body energies) is highly non-trivial even in the simplest case of two identical particles and a distinct one. This dependence is parametrized for ground and excited states in terms of supercircles functions in the most general case of three distinguishable particles.     

On the linear chain with arbitrary masses and force constants. I. Correlation functions

Simple expressions are derived for the time dependent correlation functions of certain phase functions of the classical linear (harmonic) chain having arbitrary masses and force constants. This is done for a statistical distribution τ (H, P) in phase space depending arbitrarily on the energy H and the total momentum P, which then is specialized to the uniform distributions τ_H, on the surface of constant energy, and τ_H,P, in the intersection of surfaces of constant energy and total momentum. In a subsequent paper²) the results will be used to draw conclusions on the ergodic properties of the phase functions.     

The nodal structure of two-electron wave functions on the Wannier ridge

We show that two-electron wave functions with total angular momentum L, spin S and parity π, have nodes on the Wannier ridge for all states where S + π is odd. More importantly, for all states with L + π odd, the wave functions have nodes not only on the Wannier ridge but for all configurations where the two electrons are on opposite sides of the residual ion.     

Relativistic quantum particle in a homogeneous external field

The model of the relativistic quantum particle in a homogeneous external field is proposed. This model is realized in the one-dimensional relativistic configurational x-space and is described by the finite-difference equation. The momentum p-space in our case is the one-dimensional Lobachevsky space. We have found the wave functions and propagator for the model under study in both x- and p-representations.     

Noncommutativity effects in FRW scalar field cosmology

We study effects of noncommutativity on the phase space generated by a non-minimal scalar field which is conformally coupled to the background curvature in an isotropic and homogeneous FRW cosmology. These effects are considered in two cases, when the potential of scalar field has zero and nonzero constant values. The investigation is carried out by means of a comparative detailed analysis of mathematical features of the evolution of universe and the most probable universe wave functions in classically commutative and noncommutative frames and quantum counterparts. The influence of noncommutativity is explored by the two noncommutative parameters of space and momentum sectors with a relative focus on the role of the noncommutative parameter of momentum sector. The solutions are presented with some of their numerical diagrams, in the commutative and noncommutative scenarios, and their properties are compared. We find that impose of noncommutativity in the momentum sector causes more ability in tuning time solutions of variables in classical level, and has more probable states of universe in quantum level. We also demonstrate that special solutions in classical and allowed wave functions in quantum models impose bounds on the values of noncommutative parameters.     

Theory of complete orthonormal sets of relativistic tensor wave functions and Slater tensor orbitals of particles with arbitrary spin in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces

Using the complete orthonormal basis sets of nonrelativistic and quasirelativistic orbitals introduced by the author in previous papers for particles with arbitrary spin the new analytical relations for the 2(2s+1)-component relativistic tensor wave functions and Slater tensor orbitals in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are derived, where s=1/2,1,3/2,2,… . The relativistic tensor function sets are expressed through the corresponding nonrelativistic and quasirelativistic orbitals. The analytical formulas for overlap integrals over relativistic Slater tensor orbitals in position space are also derived.     

KN Scattering in 3D Formulation

KN scattering is formulated in three-dimensional (3D) momentum space. A direct product of the relative-momentum state and the spin state is used as the basis state. The spin quantization axis is chosen along the z-axis. The interaction for the KN system is assumed to take the Yukawa-type. It consists of two terms, the central and the spin-orbit one. Calculations for the cross section based on this technique are shown, as well as comparison with the standard partial-wave calculations.     

Finite-mode regularization of the fermion functional integral

We present a regularization of the fermion functional integral in the presence of a gauge field, obtained by projecting the fermion fields on a finite subspace of the fermion wave functions. We find the basis that ensures manifest gauge covariance. We are able, in this way, to develop a non-perturbative method of calculation and test it by calculating the triangle anomalies in different models. All the calculations are carried out on a finite-size momentum space lattice. Finally we briefly discuss the zero-mode problem.     

Momentum-Space Decoherence of Distinguishable and Identical Particles in the Caldeira–Leggett Formalism

In this work, momentum-space decoherence using minimum and nonminimum-uncertainty-product (stretched) Gaussian wave packets in the framework of Caldeira–Leggett formalism and under the presence of a linear potential is studied. As a dimensionless measure of decoherence, purity, a quantity appearing in the definition of the linear entropy, is studied taking into account the role of the stretching parameter. Special emphasis is on the open dynamics of the well-known cat states and bosons and fermions compared to distinguishable particles. For the cat state, while the stretching parameter speeds up the decoherence, the external linear potential strength does not affect the decoherence time; only the interference pattern is shifted. Furthermore, the interference pattern is not observed for minimum-uncertainty-product-Gaussian wave packets in the momentum space. Concerning bosons and fermions, the question we have addressed is how the symmetry of the wave functions of indistinguishable particles is manifested in the decoherence process, which is understood here as the loss of being indistinguishable due to the gradual emergence of classical statistics with time. We have observed that the initial bunching and anti-bunching character of bosons and fermions, respectively, in the momentum space are not preserved as a function of the environmental parameters, temperature, and damping constant. However, fermionic distributions are slightly broader than the distinguishable ones and these similar to the bosonic distributions. This general behavior could be interpreted as a residual reminder of the symmetry of the wave functions in the momentum space for this open dynamics.     

Relativistic quantum particle in a time-dependent homogeneous field

A model of the relativistic quantum particle under the action of a time-dependent force is considered. This exactly solvable model is realized in the one-dimensional relativistic configurational x-space and is described by the finite-difference equation. The momentum p-space is one-dimensional Lobachevsky space. We have explicitly constructed the wave functions and propagators for this model in both x- and p-representations. We have also found a solution of a definite class of partial differential and finite-difference equations, which can be interpreted as the operator identities.     

Statistical complexity and Fisher-Shannon information in the H-atom

The Fisher-Shannon information and a statistical measure of complexity are calculated in the position and momentum spaces for the wave functions of the H-atom. For each level of energy, it is found that these two indicators take their minimum values on the orbitals that correspond to the highest orbital angular momentum.
