On the correspondence between fermion and boson states and operators

Mapping of shell-model (fermion) Hamiltonians onto boson Hamiltonians which underly the interaction boson model ^1–5) is investigated. A simple correspondence is defined and a sufficient condition given for shell-model Hamiltonians to simply correspond to finite hermitian boson Hamiltonians. A special case is discussed where diagonalization of a shell-model Hamiltonian for valence protons and neutrons can be exactly carried out in an equivalent (but different) boson space. If, however, the proton Hamiltonian and neutron Hamiltonian are diagonal in the seniority scheme, mapping of fermion states onto orthogonal boson states cannot be a simple correspondence. In that case the boson quadrupole operators equivalent to fermion guadrupole operators cannot be single-boson operators but must be more complicated, ones.

Quasi-hermiticity and the Role of a Metric in Some Boson Hamiltonians

The strategy of endowing PT-symmetric quantum mechanics with a positive definite metric, by adopting a modified inner product, has recently been explored in a simple non-hermitian quadratic boson Hamiltonian. We reconsider this analysis with emphasis on the question of a unique metric linked to the identification of an irreducible set of observables. Our results emphasise the necessity to ensure such a unique metric in order to establish a viable quantum mechanical framework.     

Mode interaction in two-stream systems of hydrodynamic type

The nonlinear dynamics of nonequilibrium two-stream hydrodynamic systems is described within the framework of Hamiltonian formalism. A procedure is proposed for diagonalization of the quadratic part of the Hamiltonian based on diagonalization of the dynamic equations by going over to normal variables with subsequent construction of the Hamiltonian as a motion integral. Matrix mode interaction elements are found.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 72–76, December, 1990.     

Determination of the energy levels of total and internal rotation of arbitrary polyatomic molecules with a single internal rotation axis

An algorithm is developed for calculating the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian operator in the case of asymmetric-asymmetric molecules with a common axis of internal rotation, taking into account the total and internal rotation of these molecules. The algorithm is based on the Ritz variational method. A program is written for reducing a symmetric band matrix to tridiagonal form with subsequent diagonalization of the resulting matrix.State Textile Academy, Ivanovo.

Analytic Calculation of Arbitrary Matrix Elements for Boson Exponential Quadratic Operators

By means of the transformation relation between the ordinary form of boson exponential quadratic operators (BEQO) and its anti-normal product form, we present an effective method to conveniently calculate arbitrary matrix elements of BEQO. By this method, many important matrix elements can be calculated analytically. As a direct application, we obtain the exact solutions of the density matrix and partition function for general boson quadratic Hamiltonian without any information about the energy level.     

A C*-algebra approach to the Schwinger model

If cutoffs are introduced then existing results in the literature show that the Schwinger model is dynamically equivalent to a boson model with quadratic Hamiltonian. However, the process of quantising the Schwinger model destroys local gauge invariance. Gauge invariance is restored by the addition of a counterterm, which may be seen as a finite renormalisation, whereupon the Schwinger model becomes dynamically equivalent to a linear boson gauge theory. This linear model is exactly soluble. We find that different treatments of the supplementary (i.e. Lorentz) condition lead to boson models with rather different properties. We choose one model and construct, from the gauge invariant subalgebra, a class of inequivalent charge sectors. We construct sectors which coincide with those found by Lowenstein and Swieca for the Schwinger model. A reconstruction of the Hilbert space on which the Schwinger model exists is described and fermion operators on this space are defined.     

Slave bosons in radial gauge: A bridge between path integral and Hamiltonian language

We establish a correspondence between the resummation of world lines and the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian for a strongly correlated electronic system. For this purpose, we analyze the functional integrals for the partition function and the correlation functions invoking a slave boson representation in the radial gauge. We show in the spinless case that the Green's function of the physical electron and the projected Green's function of the pseudofermion coincide. Correlation and Green's functions in the spinful case involve a complex entanglement of the world lines which, however, can be obtained through a strikingly simple extension of the spinless scheme. As a toy model we investigate the two-site cluster of the single impurity Anderson model which yields analytical results. All expectation values and dynamical correlation functions are obtained from the exact calculation of the relevant functional integrals. The hole density, the hole auto-correlation function and the Green's function are computed, and a comparison between spinless and spin 1/2 systems provides insight into the role of the radial slave boson field. In particular, the exact expectation value of the radial slave boson field is finite in both cases, and it is not related to a Bose condensate.     

A unification of boson expansion theories: (I). Functional representations of fermion states

The method for obtaining boson expansion by representing the fermion states as holomorphic functions of many complex variables is presented. Such functional representation is explicitly constructed for each space which is the carrier space of an irreducible representation of a semisimple compact Lie group. This is achieved by proving the unity resolution in terms of holomorphically parametrized Perelomov's generalized coherent states. The functional images of fermion states are polynomials of complex variables, while those of fermion operators are differential operators of finite order with polynomial coefficients.     

The 2-dimensional O(4) symmetric Heisenberg ferromagnet in terms of rotation-invariant variables

After the introduction of rotation-invariant auxiliary variables, the integration over all rotation-variant variables (spins) in the O(4) symmetric two-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet can be performed. The resulting new hamiltonian involves a sum over closed loops. It is complex and invariant under U(1) gauge transformations. Rühl's boson representation is used to derive the result.     

Hamiltonian systems with indefinite kinetic energy

Some interesting features of a class of two-dimensional Hamiltonians with indefinite kinetic energy are considered. It is shown that such Hamiltonians cannot be reduced, in general, to an equivalent dynamical Hamiltonian with positive definite kinetic energy quadratic in velocities. Complex nonlinear evolution equations like the K-dV, the MK-dV and the sine-Gordon equations possess such Hamiltonians. The case of complex K-dV equation has been considered in detail to demonstrate the generic features. The two-dimensional real systems obtained by analytic continuation to complex plane of one-dimensional dynamical systems are also discussed. The evolution equations for nonlinear, amplitude-modulated Langmuir waves as well as circularly polarized electromagnetic waves in plasmas, are considered as illustrative examples.     

Symmetric quadratic Hamiltonians with pseudo-Hermitian matrix representation

We prove that any symmetric Hamiltonian that is a quadratic function of the coordinates and momenta has a pseudo-Hermitian adjoint or regular matrix representation. The eigenvalues of the latter matrix are the natural frequencies of the Hamiltonian operator. When all the eigenvalues of the matrix are real, then the spectrum of the symmetric Hamiltonian is real and the operator is Hermitian. As illustrative examples we choose the quadratic Hamiltonians that model a pair of coupled resonators with balanced gain and loss, the electromagnetic self-force on an oscillating charged particle and an active LRC circuit.     

Oscillations of charged particles in an external magnetic field about steady motion

We develop a Hamiltonian formalism that can be used to study the particle dynamics near stable equilibria. The construction of an original canonical transformation allowed us to prove the conservation of the linear momentum P₃, which permitted the expansion of the Hamiltonian about a fixed point. The definition of the rotational variable h whose Poisson algebra properties played the essential role in the diagonalization of the quadratic Hamiltonian yielding two uncoupled oscillators with definite frequencies and amplitudes. It is through applying this variable near a fixed point that come to light Heisenberg's and Harmonic Oscillator equations of motion of the particles, leading thus the association of the fixed point trajectories with arbitrary trajectories in its immediate neighborhood. The present formalism succeeded to treat the problem of free-electron laser dynamics and may be applied to similar cases. Received 20 October 2001     

Exact Numerical Solutions of Bose-Hubbard Model

Hamiltonian of a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is re-formulated by using differential realization of the boson algebra. Energy matrices can then be generated systematically by using a Mathematica package. The output can be taken as the input of other diagonalization codes. As examples, exact energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wavefunctions for some cases are obtained with a Fortran diagonalization code. Phase transition of the model is analyzed.     

Quantization of gyroscopically stable systems with indefinite Hamiltonian

We construct explicitly the complex structure J which enables unitarization of stable classical dynamics generated by an indefinite Hamiltonian. This construction, closely related to the identification of a positive definite constant of the motion, results in a solution for J which is not that expected from the simplest generalization of the case of positive Hamiltonians. We carry out the construction of J for a vertical symmetric top and discuss the relevance of this approach to the theory of particle production in accelerating reference frames.     

Line frequency expressions for triply degenerate fundamentals of spherical top molecules appropriate for large angular momentum

For states of high angular momentum we obtain expressions for the transition frequencies in the triply degenerate fundamental of a “heavy” spherical top, that are accurate to spectroscopic resolution, without tedious calculation of octahedral (or tetrahedral) vector coupling coefficients or diagonalization of matrices. Our calculations are based upon the physical assumption that as the molecule rotates with larger angular momentum it behaves like a symmetric top with the coupled pure rotational angular momentum quantized along either the four- or threefold body-fixed axes. We find that the approximate calculation which involves only 3-J symbols quite accurately reproduces the result of a complete diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, so that for all but the most accurate saturated absorption spectra theoretical analysis may be carried out without reference to the octahedral (or tetrahedral) subgroup of the rotation group.
