Hilbert Space or Gel'fand Triplet. Time-Symmetric or Time-Asymmetric Quantum Mechanics

Intrinsic microphysical irreversibility is thetime asymmetry observed in exponentially decayingstates. It is described by the semigroup generated bythe Hamiltonian H of the quantum physical system, not by the semigroup generated by a Liouvillian Lwhich describes the irreversibility due to the influenceof an external reservoir or measurement apparatus. Thesemigroup time evolution generated by H is impossible in the Hilbert space (HS) theory, which allowsonly time-symmetric boundary conditions and a unitarygroup time evolution. This leads to problems with decayprobabilities in the HS theory. To overcome these and other problems (nonexistence of Dirac kets)caused by the Lebesgue integrals of the HS, one extendsthe HS to a Gel'fand triplet, which contains not onlyDirac kets, but also generalized eigenvectors of the self-adjoint H with complex eigenvalues(E_R – i/2) and a Breit-Wignerenergy distribution. These Gamow states^G have a time-asymmetric exponentialevolution. One can derive the decay probability of the Gamow state into the decay productsdescribed by from the basic formula of quantummechanics (t) = Tr(|^G ›‹^G|), which in HS quantum mechanicsis identically zero. From this result one derives the decay rate (t) and all the standard relations between(0), , and the lifetime_R used in the phenomenology of resonancescattering and decay. In the Born approximation oneobtains Dirac's Golden Rule.     

On a Generalized Frobenius–Stickelberger Addition Formula

In this Letter we obtain a generalization of the Frobenius–Stickelberger addition formula for the (hyperelliptic) -function of a genus 2 curve in the case of three vector-valued variables. The result is given explicitly in the form of a polynomial in Kleinian -functions.     

A finite size analysis of the structure factor in the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg (AFH) model

From a finite size analysis we extract the structure factorS(p, N=) of the one dimensional AFH-model in the groundstate: The gross structure is well described byL (p) = –ln(1– ^p ). The fine structure which only contributes a few percent reveals a pronounced non-linear behavior inL(p) with a maximum atp=0.20 and a minimum atp=0.82.     

Nontrivial extensions of a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero by its tensorial product

Let U(a, ) be a representation of the Poincaré group with mass and helicity zero, realized in the space of C -functions with compact support on ³, without the origin. Let U ⁽²⁾(a, ) denote the tensorial product of U(a, ) by itself. We explicitly determine the cocycles of extension of U(a, ) by U ⁽²⁾(a, ) and we prove that the nontrivial cohomology is indexed by (u(),),u()D ¹ _]0,3\,.     

The central limit theorem for the spectrum of the random one-dimensional Schrödinger operator

Let H_L = –d²/dt²+q(t,) be an one-dimensional random Schrödinger operator in ²(–L, L) with the classical boundary conditions. The random potential q(t,) has a form q(t, )=F(x_t), where x_t is a Brownian motion on the Euclidean v-dimensional torus, FS^v R¹ is a smooth function with the nondegenerated critical points, min_s ^v F = 0. Let are the eigenvalues of H_L) be a spectral distribution function in the volume [– L,L] and N() = lim_L(1/2L)N_L() be a corresponding limit distribution function.Theorem 1. If L then the normalized difference N _L ^* ()=[N_L() -2L·N()]2L tends (in the sense of Levi-Prokhorov) to the limit Gaussian process N^*(); N^*()0, 0, and N^*() has nondegenerated finitedimensional distributions on the spectrum (i.e., > 0). Theorem 2. The limit process N^*() is a continuous process with the locally independent increments.     

Schrödinger Operators with Empty Singularly Continuous Spectra

Let H be a semibounded perturbation of the Laplacian H ₀ in L ²( ^d ). For an admissible function sufficient conditions are given for the completeness of the scattering system (H), (H ₀). If is the exponential function and if e^{– H} is an integral operator we denote the kernel of the difference D = e^{– H} – e^{– H} ₀ by D (x, y), > 0. The singularly continuous spectrum of H is empty if^d dx ^d dy |D(x,y)| (1 + |y|²)< for some > 1. This result is applied to potential perturbations and to perturbations by imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions.     

Hermiticity of Quantum Observables Versus Commutation Relations

In order to obtain sum rules and spectral representations the Hermiticity property , A = A, of observables is used. It is shown that for certain and the property turns out to be inconsistent with the commutation relations that contain A. The known Schwinger paradox is explained by this inconsistency.

A contribution to direct processes in the Co59(p,n) reaction forE p ∼ 6·5 MeV

Nuclear emulsions were used to study the energy spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry of neutrons from the Co⁵⁹(p,n) reaction forE _p 6·5 MeV. It was found that the decay of the compound nucleus makes a maximum contribution of 50% to the reaction yield. Energies of some excited states of the Ni⁵⁹ nucleus were also determined.

The paper describes a double-crystal monochromator unit. The influence of vertical divergence of the beam on the luminosity and degree of monochromatization is discussed in detail and experimentally proved. Finally, the author shows how to apply a double-crystal monochromator unit (using analyzing crystals of germanium (111)) in fluorescent X-ray emission analysis, especially for an X-ray quantometer.

Stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices on the strip

We discuss stochastic Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices with wave functions, taking values in ^l so there are 2l Lyaponov exponents ₁..._l0 _l+1..._2l =–₁. Our results include the fact that if ₁=0 on a set positive measure, thenV is deterministic and one that says that {E|exactly 2j 's are zero} is the essential support of the a.c. spectrum of multiplicity 2j.Research partially supported by USNSF under grant DMS-8416049     

Amplitude and energy coefficients of reflected and refracted light

The tensor of reflected and refracted light was first introduced into the principal axes and then the latter were transformed into thep ands direction of the electric field strength. The amplitude coefficient of thep-components of refracted light has different forms depending on which complex unit vector is unit with respect to the square or the absolute value. The energy coefficient has the same value in both cases.

π0 → γγ in the Spinor Strong Interaction Theory

An expression for the decay rate (⁰ ) has been derived in the frameworkof the spinor strong interaction theory, a first-principles strong interaction theoryproposed some years ago as an alternative to low-energy QCD. The startingpoint is the SO(3) gauge-invariant action for two quark mesons which has beensuccessful in accounting for confinement, ^{+ +} , e⁺, and ⁰ e⁺, nonexistenceof the Higgs boson, and other low-energy mesonic phenomena. The quasi-four-quarkmeson equations developed for the decay of a vector meson into twopseudoscalar mesons V PP has been taken over here to apply to P(⁰) VV(^{+ –}) (plus ⁺ and ^– which annihilate each other). This mechanismin principle agrees with that of the assumption of vector meson dominance inthe literature. It, together with the effect of form factors, arises naturally in theformalism and need not be assumed. Equations for the perturbed vector mesonwave functions cannot be simply solved and an assumption has been made toobtain an estimate of their magnitude. Together with a constant associated withthe strong coupling obtained earlier from V() PP(K⁺K^–), the estimated decayrate is 19.2 eV, in order-of-magnitude agreement with data (7.74 eV).

Mixing properties,differentiability of the free energy and the central limit theorem for a pure phase in the Ising model at low temperature

For the Ising model with nearest neighbour interaction it is shown that the spin correlations _{A B} - _{A B} decrease exponentially asd(A, B) in a pure phase when the temperature is well belowT _c. This is used to prove that the free energyF(,h) is infinitely differentiable in and has one sided derivatives inh of all orders forh=0. The bounds are also used to prove that the central limit theorem holds for several variables such as e.g. the total energy and the total magnetization of the system, the limit distribution being gaussian with variances determined by the second derivatives ofF(,h).     

R andRτ ratios at the five-loop level of perturbative QCD

We study perturbative QCD at the five-loop level. In particular we considerR = _tot(e ⁺ e ^– hadrons)/(e ⁺ e ^{– + –}) andR = ( v+hadrons)/( ev). We use our method to estimate the five-loop coefficients. As a result, we obtain _s (M _z ) = 0.1186(11) and _s (34 GeV) = 0.1396(16), which are accurate at the 1% level. We also findR = 3.8350(18), which is consistent withR and is accurate to 0.05%.     

Interface formation and a structural phase transition for the spherical model of ferromagnetism

A detailed analysis is reported examining the local magnetic susceptibility (r), in relation to the correlation functionG(R) and correlation length , of a spherical model ferromagnet confined to geometry =L ^{d –d} × ^d ( ^d 2,d>2) under a continuous set oftwisted boundary conditions. The twist parameter in this problem may be interpreted as a measure of the geometry-dependent doping level of interfacial impurities (or antiferromagnetic seams) in theextended system at various temperatures. For _j 0, jd-d, no seams are present except at infinity, whereas if _j = 1/2, impurity saturation occurs. For 0 < _j < 1/2 the physical domain _phys =D ^{d –d} × ^d (D>L), defining the region between seams containing the origin, depends on temperature above a certain threshold (T>T ₀). Below that temperature (T>T ₀), seams are frozen at the same position (DL/2,d-d'=1), revealing a smoothly varying largescale structural phase transition.

Representations of state space transformations by Markov kernels

Every convex subset of a locally convex Hausdorff space (X, ) is equipped with the (-algebra generated by its-relatively open subsets. Within the set () of probability measures on two particular convex subsets are considered: (a) the set ^s () of probability measures with a separable support, and (b) the set ^c () of probability measures with a compact convex support. If is the base of a cone inX, then there exists an affine barycenter map from ^c () onto whose composition with the natural embedding of in ^c () yields the identity map on , and every-continuous affine transformation of can be represented by an affine transformation of ^c () that is induced by a Markov kernel. If (X, ) is a Banach space and is a closed, bounded, generating cone base inX that is contained in a hyperplane, then analogous results are obtained with respect to ^s (). Since the state spaces considered in noncommutative measure theory are cone bases and every change in time of an empirical system can be thought of as an affine transformation of the associated state space (Schrödinger picture), the existence of these representation theorems implies that the time evolution of general empirical systems can be described by dynamical concepts borrowed from classical probability theory.
