Natural star-products on symplectic manifolds and related quantum mechanical operators

In this paper is considered a problem of defining natural star-products on symplectic manifolds, admissible for quantization of classical Hamiltonian systems. First, a construction of a star-product on a cotangent bundle to an Euclidean configuration space is given with the use of a sequence of pair-wise commuting vector fields. The connection with a covariant representation of such a star-product is also presented. Then, an extension of the construction to symplectic manifolds over flat and non-flat pseudo-Riemannian configuration spaces is discussed. Finally, a coordinate free construction of related quantum mechanical operators from Hilbert space over respective configuration space is presented.     

Quantum and classical pseudogroups. Part II differential and symplectic pseudogroups

The category of sympletic pseudospaces (analogical to the category of pseudospaces in the sense of [2]) is introduced and used to define symplectic pseudogroups (structures analogical to pseudogroups [3] or quantum groups [4]). It is shown that symplectic pseudogroups are in one-to-one correspondence with Manin groups, also introduced in this paper. The set-theoretical part of these structures has been described in [I].     

Associated quantum vector bundles and symplectic structure on a quantum space

We define a quantum generalization of the algebra of functions over an associated vector bundle of a principal bundle. Here the role of a quantum principal bundle is played by a Hopf-Galois extension. Smash products of an algebra times a Hopf algebra H are particular instances of these extensions, and in these cases we are able to define a differential calculus over their associated vector bundles without requiring the use of a (bicovariant) differential structure over H. Moreover, if H is coquasitriangular, it coacts naturally on the associated bundle, and the differential structure is covariant.We apply this construction to the case of the finite quotient of the SL _q(2) function Hopf algebra at a root of unity (q ³ = 1) as the structure group, and a reduced 2-dimensional quantum plane as both the base manifold and fibre, getting an algebra which generalizes the notion of classical phase space for this quantum space. We also build explicitly a differential complex for this phase space algebra, and find that levels 0 and 2 support a (co)representation of the quantum symplectic group. On this phase space we define vector fields, and with the help of the Sp _q structure we introduce a symplectic form relating 1-forms to vector fields. This leads naturally to the introduction of Poisson brackets, a necessary step to do classical mechanics on a quantum space, the quantum plane.     

Quantum mechanics as a matrix symplectic geometry

The main purpose of this work is to describe the quantum analog of the usual classical symplectic geometry and then to formulate quantum mechanics as a noncommutative symplectic geometry. First, we describe a discrete Weyl-Schwinger realization of the Heisenberg group and we develop a discrete version of the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism. We also study the continuous limit and the case of higher degrees of freedom. In analogy with the classical case, we present the noncommutative (quantum) symplectic geometry associated with the matrix algebraM _N (C) generated by the Schwinger matrices.     

Existence and invariance of twisted products on a symplectic manifold

It is now well-known [1] that the twisted product on the functions defined on a symplectic manifold, play a fundamental role in an invariant approach of quantum mechanics. We prove here a general existence theorem of such twisted products. If a Lie group G acts by symplectomorphisms on a symplectic manifold and if there is a G-invariant symplectic connection, the manifold admits G-invariant Vey twisted products. In particular, if a homogeneous space G/H admits an invariant linear connection, T ^*(G/H) admits a G-invariant Vey twisted product. For the connected Lie group G, the group T ^*G admits a symplectic structure, a symplectic connection and a Vey twisted product which are bi-invariant under G.     

P-adic theta functions and solutions of the KP hierarchy

Based on Schottky uniformization theory of Riemann surfaces, we construct a universal power series for (Riemann) theta function solutions of the KP hierarchy. Specializing this power series to the coordinates associated with Schottky groups overp-adic fields, we show that thep-adic theta functions of Mumford curves give solutions of the KP hierarchy.     

Generating functions for the affine symplectic group

The generating function notion is used to give a representation of the inhomogeneous symplectic group as group of affine canonical transformations. Then the classical action for linear mechanical systems, the Hamiltonians of which belong to the algebrah sp(2n,R), is deduced; it is explicitely constructed for all the Hamiltonians belonging to some particular subalgebras ofh sp(2n,R). The metaplectic representation ofW Sp(2n,R) onL ²(R) and the solutions of the Schrödinger equation for linear systems are also obtained in terms of generating functions. The Maslov index is explicitly constructed for the quantum corresponding sets of Hamiltonians considered in the classical case.Members of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (France)Recipient of aid from the Ministère de l'Education du Gouvernement du Québec     

Entangled symplectic wavelet transformation

The symplectic wavelet transformation proposed in Opt. Lett. 31, 3432 (2006), which is related to the optical Fresnel transform in the quantum optics version, is developed into an entangled symplectic wavelet transformation (ESWT) after pointing out the contrast between the single-mode Fresnel operator and the entangled Fresnel operator. The ESWT possesses well-behaved properties and corresponds to the entangled Fresnel transform [Phys. Lett. A334, 132 (2005)].     

Superalgebras,symplectic bosons and the Sugawara construction

New representations of affine Lie algebras are constructed using symplectic bosons of the sort that occur naturally in the BRST treatment of fermionic string theories. These representations are shown to have analogous properties to the current algebra representations in terms of free fermion fields, though they do not act in a positive space. In particular, the condition for the Sugawara construction of the Virasoro algebra to equal the free one is the existence of a superalgebra with a quadratic Casimir operator, paralleling the symmetric space theorem for fermionic field constructions. Both results are seen to be particular cases of a more general super-symmetric space theorem, which arises from considering an affinisation of the superalgebras. These algebras are realised in terms of free fermions and symplectic bosons and lead to a super-Sugawara construction of the Virasoro algebra. The conditions for this to equal a Virasoro algebra obtained from the free fields are provided by the super-symmetric space theorem.     

On Mpc-structures and symplectic Dirac operators

We prove that the kernels of the restrictions of the symplectic Dirac operator and one of the two symplectic Dirac–Dolbeault operators on natural sub-bundles of polynomial valued spinor fields are finite dimensional on a compact symplectic manifold. We compute these kernels explicitly for complex projective spaces and show that the remaining Dirac–Dolbeault operator has infinite dimensional kernels on these finite rank sub-bundles. We construct injections of subgroups of the symplectic group (the pseudo-unitary group and the stabiliser of a Lagrangian subspace) in the $M{p}^c$ group and classify $G$-invariant $M{p}^c$-structures on symplectic manifolds with a $G$-action. We prove a variant of Parthasarathy’s formula for the commutator of two symplectic Dirac-type operators on general symmetric symplectic spaces.     

Lifetime statistics for a Bloch particle in ac and dc fields

We study the statistics of the Wigner delay time and resonance width for a Bloch particle in ac and dc fields in the regime of quantum chaos. It is shown that after appropriate rescaling the distributions of these quantities have a universal character predicted by the random matrix theory of chaotic scattering.     

Cluster and symplectic excitations in nuclei

To incorporate two successful microscopic theories, the cluster and the symplectic models, into a single theory we have developed a recursion formula method of calculating overlaps between cluster and symplectic states. This has facilitated the calculation of cluster widths and isoscalar E2 transition rates in a basis including both types of state. A method of calculating interaction matrix elements is briefly discussed. We have calculated the overlaps between the cluster and the symplectic states for the ¹⁶O, ²⁰Ne, and ²⁴Mg systems. Comparison of the E2 transition rates between the cluster and the symplectic states has clearly indicated the complementary role of these excitations. The feasibility of unifying the cluster and the symplectic excitations is expected to be very useful for a number of nuclear structure problems, particularly those associated with both cluster correlation and quadrupole collectivity.     

The Universal Generating Function of Analytical Poisson Structures

Generating functions of Poisson structures are special functions which induce, on open subsets of , a Poisson structure together with the local symplectic groupoid integrating it. In a previous paper by A. S. Cattaneo, G. Felder and the author, a universal generating function was provided in terms of a formal power series coming from Kontsevich star product. The present article proves that this universal generating function converges for analytical Poisson structures and shows that the induced local symplectic groupoid coincides with the phase space of Karasev–Maslov Mathematics Subject Classification 58H05 (53D05).     

Characteristic functions of states in star-product quantization

It is shown that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the direct and inverseWeyl transform approach, on the one side, and the (symplectic) tomographic representation of quantum mechanics, on the other side. In view of this correspondence, the star-product quantization based on characteristic functions is introduced.     

Constant symplectic 2-groupoids

We propose a definition of symplectic 2-groupoid which includes integrations of Courant algebroids that have been recently constructed. We study in detail the simple but illustrative case of constant symplectic 2-groupoids. We show that the constant symplectic 2-groupoids are, up to equivalence, in one-to-one correspondence with a simple class of Courant algebroids that we call constant Courant algebroids. Furthermore, we find a correspondence between certain Dirac structures and Lagrangian sub-2-groupoids.     

Symplectic Generating Functions and Moyal Products

We introduce an affine-invariant version of generating functions of symplectic transformations of affine symplectic spaces, together with a generalization for other symmetric symplectic spaces. The composition of these functions has a nice connection with the Moyal product.     

Quantum Surfaces,Special Functions,and the Tunneling Effect

The notion of quantum embedding is considered for two classes of examples: quantum coadjoint orbits in Lie coalgebras and quantum symplectic leaves in spaces with non-Lie permutation relations. A method for constructing irreducible representations of associative algebras and the corresponding trace formulas over leaves with complex polarization are obtained. The noncommutative product on the leaves incorporates a closed 2-form and a measure which (in general) are different from the classical symplectic form and the Liouville measure. The quantum objects are related to some generalized special functions. The difference between classical and quantum geometrical structures could even occur to be exponentially small with respect to the deformation parameter. This is interpreted as a tunneling effect in the quantum geometry.     

Poisson traces,D-modules,and symplectic resolutions

We survey the theory of Poisson traces (or zeroth Poisson homology) developed by the authors in a series of recent papers. The goal is to understand this subtle invariant of (singular) Poisson varieties, conditions for it to be finite-dimensional, its relationship to the geometry and topology of symplectic resolutions, and its applications to quantizations. The main technique is the study of a canonical D-module on the variety. In the case the variety has finitely many symplectic leaves (such as for symplectic singularities and Hamiltonian reductions of symplectic vector spaces by reductive groups), the D-module is holonomic, and hence, the space of Poisson traces is finite-dimensional. As an application, there are finitely many irreducible finite-dimensional representations of every quantization of the variety. Conjecturally, the D-module is the pushforward of the canonical D-module under every symplectic resolution of singularities, which implies that the space of Poisson traces is dual to the top cohomology of the resolution. We explain many examples where the conjecture is proved, such as symmetric powers of du Val singularities and symplectic surfaces and Slodowy slices in the nilpotent cone of a semisimple Lie algebra. We compute the D-module in the case of surfaces with isolated singularities and show it is not always semisimple. We also explain generalizations to arbitrary Lie algebras of vector fields, connections to the Bernstein–Sato polynomial, relations to two-variable special polynomials such as Kostka polynomials and Tutte polynomials, and a conjectural relationship with deformations of symplectic resolutions. In the appendix we give a brief recollection of the theory of D-modules on singular varieties that we require.     

Universal functions for estimating total vibration-rotation band absorptance—I. Linear molecules and spherical tops

We estimate total band absorptances and their derivatives for nonoverlapping lines of vibration-rotation bands for linear molecules and spherical tops. We use universal functions obtained by replacing the sums of line contributions by integrals over the rotational quantum numbers. An optical path is introduced for the total band. Only general information is utilized on vibrational transitions and line shapes. Power and asymptotic series have been obtained for Doppler and Lorentz line shapes. For a linear molecule and the Lorentz shape, approximate formulae have been derived for the universal functions.
