A diagrammatic categorification of the fermion algebra

In this paper, we study the diagrammatic categorification of the fermion algebra. We construct a graphical category corresponding to the one-dimensional （1D） fermion algebra, and we investigate the properties of this category. The categorical analogues of the Fock states are some kind of 1-morphisms in our category, and the dimension of the vector space of 2-morphisms is exactly the inner product of the corresponding Fock states. All the results in our categorical framework coincide exnetlv with those in normal quantum mechanics.

Boson realizations of quantum algebras and some physical spaces with quantum algebra symmetry

The generators ofq-boson algebra are expressed in terms of those of boson algebra, and the relations among the representations of a quantum algebra onq-Fock space, on Fock space, and on coherent state space are discussed in a general way. Two examples are also given to present concrete physical spaces with quantum algebra symmetry. Finally, a new homomorphic mapping from a Lie algebra to boson algebra is presented.This work is supported by the National Foundation of Natural Science of China.     

Thermostatistics of Deformed Bosons and Fermions

Based on the q-deformed oscillator algebra, we study the behavior of the mean occupation number and its analogies with intermediate statistics and we obtain an expression in terms of an infinite continued fraction, thus clarifying successive approximations. In this framework, we study the thermostatistics of q-deformed bosons and fermions and show that thermodynamics can be built on the formalism of q-calculus. The entire structure of thermodynamics is preserved if ordinary derivatives are replaced by the use of an appropriate Jackson derivative and q-integral. Moreover, we derive the most important thermodynamic functions and we study the q-boson and q-fermion ideal gas in the thermodynamic limit.     

Quantum mechanics with difference operators

A formulation of quantum mechanics with additive and multiplicative (q-) difference operators instead of differential operators is studied from first principles. Borel-quantisation on smooth configuration spaces is used as guiding quantisation method. After a short discussion this method is translated step-by-step to a framework based on difference operators. To restrict the resulting plethora of possible quantisations additional assumptions motivated by simplicity and plausibility are required. Multiplicative difference operators and the corresponding q-Borel kinematics are given on the circle and its N-point discretisation; the connection to q-deformations of the Witt algebra is discussed. For a “natural” choice of the q-kinematics a corresponding q-difference evolution equation is obtained. This study shows general difficulties for a generalisation of a physical theory from a known one to a “new” framework.     

Some Special Functions of Noncommuting Variables

In this paper we deal with q-commuting variables x and y satisfying the relation xy = qyx + (q – 1)y ² with q complex, 0 < |q| < 1. We study various functional equations for q-exponentials and we deduce some identities for q-special functions involving q-commuting variab les.     

Dual properties of orthogonal polynomials of discrete variables associated with the quantum algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">su</Emphasis>(2))

We show that for every set of discrete polynomials y _n (x(s)) on the lattice x(s), defined on a finite interval (a, b), it is possible to construct two sets of dual polynomials z _k (ξ(t)) of degrees k = s-a and k = b-s-1. Here we do this for the classical and alternative Hahn and Racah polynomials as well as for their q-analogs. Also we establish the connection between classical and alternative families. This allows us to obtain new expressions for the Clerbsch-Gordan and Racah coefficients of the quantum algebra U _q (su(2)) in terms of various Hahn and Racah q-polynomials. Dedicated to the memory of our teacher and friend Arnold F. Nikiforov (18.11.1930–27.12.2005).     

Algebras of creation and destruction operators

A general analysis of bilinear algebras of creation and destruction operators is performed. Generalizing the earlier work on the single-parameterq-deformation of the Heisenberg algebra, we study two-parameter and four-parameter algebras. Two new forms of quantum statistics called orthofermi and orthobose statistics and aq-deformation interpolating between them have been found. In the Fock representation, quadratic relations among destruction operators, wherever they are allowed, are shown to follow from the bilinear algebra of creation and destruction operators. Postitivity of the Hilbert space for the four-parameter algebra has been studied in the two-particle sector, but for the two-parameter algebra, results are presented up to the four-particle sector.     

The q-boson operator algebra and q-Hermite polynomials

The q-boson algebra is defined as an associative algebra with generators and relations. Some examples are given, and then the q-boson algebra is extended such that the roots of the diagonal generators are also defined. It is shown that a family of transformations exist mapping one set of standard generators of the q-boson algebra to another set of standard generators. Using such a transformation, one obtains expressions for q-bosons for which the kth q-boson state is expressed in terms of a q-Hermite polynomial p _k (x; q) which reduces to the ordinary Hermite polynomial of degree k when q=1.     

Generalized q-Modified Laguerre Functions

In this paper we define a new q-special function A _n (x, b, c; q). The new function is a generalization of the q-Laguerre function and the Stieltjes–Wigert function. We deduced all the properties of the function A _n (x, b, c; q). Finally, lim _q1 A _n ((1 – q)x, –, 1;q) gives L _n ^(,)(x,q), which is a -modification of the ordinary Laguerre function.     

The half-infinite XXZ chain in Onsagerʼs approach

The half-infinite XXZ open spin chain with general integrable boundary conditions is considered within the recently developed ‘Onsager?s approach’. Inspired by the finite size case, for any type of integrable boundary conditions it is shown that the transfer matrix is simply expressed in terms of the elements of a new type of current algebra recently introduced. In the massive regime −1<q<0$-1<q<0$, level one infinite dimensional representation (q-vertex operators) of the new current algebra are constructed in order to diagonalize the transfer matrix. For diagonal boundary conditions, known results of Jimbo et al. are recovered. For upper (or lower) non-diagonal boundary conditions, a solution is proposed. Vacuum and excited states are formulated within the representation theory of the current algebra using q-bosons, opening the way for the calculation of integral representations of correlation functions for a non-diagonal boundary. Finally, for q generic the long standing question of the hidden non-Abelian symmetry of the Hamiltonian is solved: it is either associated with the q-Onsager algebra (generic non-diagonal case) or the augmented q-Onsager algebra (generic diagonal case).     

Irreducibility and Compositeness in q-Deformed Harmonic Oscillator Algebras

A study of the reducibility of the Fock space representation of the q-deformed harmonic oscillator algebra for real and root of unity values of the deformation parameter is carried out by using the properties of the Gauss polynomials. When the deformation parameter is a root of unity, an interesting result comes out in the form of a reducibility scheme for the space representation which is based on the classification of the primitive or nonprimitive character of the deformation parameter. An application is carried out for a q-deformed harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian, to which the reducibility scheme is explicitly applied.On leave from     

On the representations of quantum oscillator algebra

It is shown that for q<1, the quantum oscillator algebra has a supplementary family of representations inequivalent to the usual q-Fock representation, with no counterpart at the limit q=1. They are used to build representations of SU _q (1,1) and E(2) in Schwinger's way.     

Nonclassical Properties of Orthonormalized Eigenstates of the Operator (a q f(N q )) k

In this paper, the completeness of the k orthonormalized eigenstates of the operator (a _q f(N _q )) ^k (k 3) is proved. We introduce a new kind of higher order squeezing and an antibunching. The properties of the Mth-order squeezing and the antibunching effect of the k states are investigated. The result shows that these states may form a complete Hilbert space, and the Mth order [M = (m + 1/2)k;m = 0,1,2,. . .] squeezing effects exist in all of the k states when k is even. There is the antibunching effect in all of the states.     

Coherent states and squeezed states of realq-deformed quantum oscillators

A detailed physical characterisation of the coherent states and squeezed states of a realq-deformed oscillator is attempted. The squeezing andq-squeezing behaviours are illustrated by three different model Hamiltonians, namely i) Batemann Hamiltonian ii) harmonic oscillator with time dependent mass and frequency and iii) a system with constant mass and time-dependent frequency.     

Properties of the q-Analogue of a Squeezed Vacuum State

We constructed a normalizable q-analogue of squeezed vacuum state using the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators and the properties of the inverses of q-deformed creation and annihilation operatots. We also study its nonclassical properties and phase probability distribution.     

Spectral inverse problem for q-deformed harmonic oscillator

The supersymmetric quantization condition is used to study the wave functions of SWKB equivalent q-deformed harmonic oscillator which are obtained by using only the knowledge of bound-state spectra of q-deformed harmonic oscillator. We have also studied the nonuniqueness of the obtained interactions by this spectral inverse method.     

Disentangling q-Exponentials: A General Approach

We revisit the q-deformed counterpart of the Zassenhaus formula, expressing the Jackson q-exponential of the sum of two non-q-commuting operators as an (in general) infinite product of q-exponential operators involving repeated q-commutators of increasing order, E_q(A+B) = E_q0(A)E_q1 (B) _i=2 E_qi. By systematically transforming the q-exponentials into exponentials of series and using the conventional Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula, we prove that one can make any choice for the bases ^qi, i=0, 1, 2, ..., of the q-exponentials in the infinite product. An explicit calculation of the operators C _i in the successive factors, carried out up to sixth order, also shows that the simplest q-Zassenhaus formula is obtained for ₀ = ₁ =1, and ₂ = 2, and ₃ = 3. This confirms and reinforces a result of Sridhar and Jagannathan, on the basis of fourth-order calculations.     

Differences Among Three Deformed Oscillators

The differences among quon operators, q _a-math oscillator operators and q-deformed oscillator operators are pointed out. The q-deformed ocsillator and q _a-math oscillator are constructed in terms of q _q = 0 quon.
