Proof of perturbative gauge invariance for tree diagrams to all orders

It is proved that classical BRS‐invariance of the Lagrangian implies perturbative gauge invariance for tree diagrams to all orders. The proof applies in particular to the Einstein Hilbert Lagrangian of gravity.     

Separability,gauge invariance and nonsuperluminality in direct interaction dynamics

We discuss the classical mechanics of relativistic systems with direct interaction. We show that various desiderata can all be accommodated in the single time approach by restricting the observables to the gauge invariant variables. We show how such observables can be constructed in general. We explicitly construct position observables in a general system and show that they lead to separable, invariant world lines. Nonsuperluminality is explicitly demonstrated for two body systems interacting via central forces of semibounded magnitude provided they ensure timelike canonical momenta. For two particles, our results reproduce the usual solution in covariant equal-time gauge.     

Scaling gauge invariance and constancy of the speed of light

We prepose to extend Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism by treating the speed of light as a scalar function of space-time. This leads to scaling gauge invariance. As a consequence we find a conserved magnetic monopole current and nonconservation of electric charge.     

Incompatibility of gauge invariance and nonrelativistic locality in path integral formulation

It is shown that a modification of the usual gauge transformations is essential to the path integral formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as a consequence of defining the locality condition as follows: The contribution from each path comes entirely from the points on the path. Arguments are based on the similarity between Wiener and Feynman functional (path) integrals.     

Coherent states of general time-dependent harmonic oscillator

By introducing an invariant operator, we obtain exact wave functions for a general time-dependent quadratic harmonic oscillator. The coherent states, both inx- andp-spaces, are calculated. We confirm that the uncertainty product in coherent state is always larger thankh/2 and is equal to the minimum of the uncertainty product of the number states. The displaced wave packet for Caldirola-Kanai oscillator in coherent state oscillates back and forth with time about the center as for a classical oscillator. The amplitude of oscillation with no driving force decreases due to the dissipation in the system. However, the oscillation with resonant frequency oscillates with a large amplitude, even after a sufficient time elapse.     

BRST invariance in Coulomb gauge QCD

In the Coulomb gauge, the Hamiltonian of QCD contains terms of order ?²${?}^2$, identified by Christ and Lee, which are non-local but instantaneous. The question is addressed how do these terms fit in with BRST invariance. Our discussion is confined to the simplest, O(g⁴)$O\left(g^4\right)$, example.     

Effect of a nonuniform magnetic field on the Landau states in a biased AA-stacked graphene bilayer

We study the Landau states in the biased AA-stacked graphene bilayer under an exponentially decaying magnetic field along one spatial dimension. The results show that the energy eigenvalues of the system are strongly dependent on the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field and the bias voltage between the graphene layers, and in particular the reordering and mixing of finite Landau states could occur. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the current carrying states induced by the decaying magnetic field propagate vertically to the magnetic-field gradient within the graphene sample and can be further modulated by the bias voltage between the layers.     

Landau damping and inhomogeneous reference states

Landau damping is a fundamental phenomenon in plasma physics, which also plays an important role in astrophysics, and sometimes under different names, in fluid dynamics, and other fields. Its theoretical discussion in the framework of the Vlasov equation often assumes that the reference stationary state is homogeneous in space. However, Landau damping around an inhomogeneous reference stationary state, a natural setting in astrophysics for instance, induces new mathematical difficulties and physical phenomena. The goal of this article is to provide an introduction to these problems and the questions they raise.     

Nilpotent symmetry invariance in the non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory: Superfield formalism

We demonstrate that the nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry invariance of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory with Dirac fields can be captured within the framework of the superfield approach to BRST formalism. The above 4D theory, where there is an explicit coupling between the non-Abelian 1-form gauge field and the Dirac fields, is considered on a (4,2)-dimensional supermanifold, parametrized by the bosonic 4D spacetime variables and a pair of Grassmannian variables. We show that the Grassmannian independence of the super-Lagrangian density, expressed in terms of the (4,2)-dimensional superfields, is a clear signature of the presence of the (anti-)BRST invariance in the original 4D theory.      

Stationary point analysis of the one-dimensional lattice Landau gauge fixing functional, aka random phase XY Hamiltonian

We study the stationary points of what is known as the lattice Landau gauge fixing functional in one-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory, or as the Hamiltonian of the one-dimensional random phase XY model in statistical physics. An analytic solution of all stationary points is derived for lattices with an odd number of lattice sites and periodic boundary conditions. In the context of lattice gauge theory, these stationary points and their indices are used to compute the gauge fixing partition function, making reference in particular to the Neuberger problem. Interpreted as stationary points of the one-dimensional XY Hamiltonian, the solutions and their Hessian determinants allow us to evaluate a criterion which makes predictions on the existence of phase transitions and the corresponding critical energies in the thermodynamic limit.     

Coherent phonon dynamics of normal metal in ultrafast spectroscopy: Non-equilibrium gauge invariant Green's function approach

The phonon dynamics of normal metal in the coherent regime of ultrafast spectroscopy is studied based on the non-equilibrium gauge invariant Green's function method. The non-equilibrium phonon self-energy is computed explicitly as a function of time in a gauge invariant way up to the second order of electric field of applied laser pulse. The extension beyond the coherent regime and the incorporation of correlation effects are discussed.     

r2RuO4的电子相干态: Nernst效应研究

文章首次报道了自旋三重态奇异配对超导体Sr2RuO4的Nernst效应在正常态呈现出的反常行为.在T<100K时,较大的负的Nernst信号出现,其绝对值随温度降低而增大,并在T* ≈ 20—25K时出现一个负的最大值,之后随温度线性减小.这样大的Nernst信号是与正常态的多带性质相关,而非线性的磁场关系则可能与其中的磁涨落相关.文章作者提出在T*温度以下,在电子型的γ带上出现了能带关联的相干态,准粒子的散射受到了抑制,使得在T*温度以下Nernst信号快速减弱.同时,热电势在T*附近出现了拐点,Hal     

Discrete coherent states for higher Landau levels

We consider the quantum dynamics of a charged particle evolving under the action of a constant homogeneous magnetic field, with emphasis on the discrete subgroups of the Heisenberg group (in the Euclidean case) and of the SL(2,R)$SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ group (in the Hyperbolic case). We investigate completeness properties of discrete coherent states associated with higher order Euclidean and hyperbolic Landau levels, partially extending classic results of Perelomov and of Bargmann, Butera, Girardello and Klauder. In the Euclidean case, our results follow from identifying the completeness problem with known results from the theory of Gabor frames. The results for the hyperbolic setting follow by using a combination of methods from coherent states, time-scale analysis and the theory of Fuchsian groups and their associated automorphic forms.     

Real-Time Thermal Schwinger-Dyson Equation for Quark Self-energy in Landau Gauge

By means of a formal expression of Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential for quark propagator at finite temperatures and finite quark chemical potentials, we derive the real-time thermal Schwinger-Dyson equation for quark propagator in Landau gauge. Denote the inverse quark propagator by A（p^2）ψ - B（p^2）, we argue that, when temperature T is lower than the given infrared momentum cutoff pc, A（p^2） = 1 is a feasible approximation and can be assumed in discussions of chiral symmetry phase transition problem in QCD.

Expansion of EYM amplitudes in gauge invariant vector space

Motivated by the problem of expanding the single-trace tree-level amplitude of Einstein-Yang-Mills theory to the BCJ basis of Yang-Mills amplitudes, we present an alternative expansion formula in gauge invariant vector space. Starting from a generic vector space consisting of polynomials of momenta and polarization vectors, we define a new sub-space as a gauge invariant vector space by imposing constraints on the gauge invariant conditions. To characterize this sub-space, we compute its dimension and construct an explicit gauge invariant basis from it. We propose an expansion formula in this gauge invariant basis with expansion coefficients being linear combinations of the Yang-Mills amplitude, manifesting the gauge invariance of both the expansion basis and coefficients. With the help of quivers, we compute the expansion coefficients via differential operators and demonstrate the general expansion algorithm using several examples.     

Coherent states for Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials

In this study, we construct the coherent states for a particle in the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials, which are the generalizations of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator problem. In the first case, we find the non-spreading wave packets by transforming the system into four oscillators in Cartesian, and also polar, coordinates. In the second case, the coherent states are constructed in Cartesian coordinates by transforming the system into three non-isotropic harmonic oscillators. All of these states evolve in physical-time. We also show that in parametric-time, the second case can be transformed to the first one with vanishing eigenvalues.      

Entangled Three Qutrit Coherent States and Localizable Entanglement

Choosing I-concurrence as the measure of bipartite entanglement and using yon Neumann projective local measurements, localizable entanglement （LE） in a three-qutrit system is studied. A superposition of the qutrit-coherent- state of this system is considered ant its LE is obtained and analyzed as a function of the relevant parameters. It is observed that one may achieve the maximal entanglement or no entanglement at all, depending on the choice of the parameters involved.
