Solvability of the Hamiltonians Related to Exceptional Root Spaces: Rational Case

Solvability of the rational quantum integrable systems related to exceptional root spaces G₂,F₄ is re-examined and for E_6,7,8 is established in the framework of a unified approach. It is shown that Hamiltonians take algebraic form being written in certain Weyl-invariant variables. It is demonstrated that for each Hamiltonian the finite-dimensional invariant subspaces are made from polynomials and they form an infinite flag. A notion of minimal flag is introduced and minimal flag for each Hamiltonian is found. Corresponding eigenvalues are calculated explicitly while the eigenfunctions can be computed by pure linear algebra means for arbitrary values of the coupling constants. The Hamiltonian of each model can be expressed in the algebraic form as a second degree polynomial in the generators of some infinite-dimensional but finitely-generated Lie algebra of differential operators, taken in a finite-dimensional representation.Alexander V.

A Basis for Representations of Symplectic Lie Algebras

A basis for each finite-dimensional irreducible representation of the symplectic Lie algebra ¤(2n) is constructed. The basis vectors are expressed in terms of the Mickelsson lowering operators. Explicit formulas for the matrix elements of generators of ¤(2n) in this basis are given. The basis is natural from the viewpoint of the representation theory of the Yangians. The key role in the construction is played by the fact that the subspace of ¤(2nm 2) highest vectors in any finite-dimensional irreducible representation of ¤(2n) admits a natural structure of a representation of the Yangian Y(‹•(2)).     

Universal invariants in quantum mechanics and physics of optical and particle beams

We give a brief review of the theory of quantum universal invariants and their counterparts in the physics of light and particle beams. The invariants concerned are certain combinations of the second- and higher-order moments (variances) of quantum-mechanical operators, or the transverse phase-space coordinates of the paraxial beams of light or particles. They are conserved in time (or along the beam axis) independently of the concrete form of the coefficients of the Schrödinger-like equations governing the evolution of the systems, provided that the effective Hamiltonian is either a generic quadratic form of the generalized coordinate-momenta operators or a linear combination of generators of some finite-dimensional algebra (in particular, any semisimple Lie algebra). Using the phase space representation of quantum mechanics (paraxial optics) in terms of the Wigner function, we elucidate the relation of the quantum (optical) invariants to the classical universal integral invariants of Poincaré and Cartan. The specific features of Gaussian beams are discussed as examples. The concept of the universal quantum integrals of motion is introduced, and examples of the “universal invariant solutions” to the Schrödinger equation, i.e., self-consistent eigenstates of the universal integrals of motion, are given.     

Representations of Lie algebras and the problem of noncommutative integrability of linear differential equations

An algorithm is proposed for integrating linear partial differential equations with the help of a special set of noncommuting linear differential operators — an analogue of the method of noncommutative integration of finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. The algorithm allows one to construct a parametric family of solutions of an equation satisfying the requirement of completeness. The case is considered when the noncommutative set of operators form a Lie algebra. An essential element of the algorithm is the representation of this algebra by linear differential operators in the space of parameters. A connection is indicated of the given method with the method of separation of variables, and also with problems of the theory of representations of Lie algebras. Let us emphasize that on the whole the proposed algorithm differs from the method of separation of variables, in which sets of commuting symmetry operators are used.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 95–100, April, 1991.     

A new look at the harmonic oscillator problem in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space

In this Letter some basic properties of a truncated oscillator are studied. By using finite-dimensional representation matrices of the truncated oscillator we construct new parasupersymmetric schemes and remark on their relevance to the transition operators of the non-interacting N-level system endowed with bosonic modes.     

Transitive Novikov Algebras on Four-Dimensional Nilpotent Lie Algebras

Novikov algebras were introduced in connection with the Poisson brackets (of hydrodynamic type) and Hamiltonian operators in the formal variational calculus. The commutator of a Novikov algebra is a Lie algebra, and the radical of a finite-dimensional Novikov algebra is transitive. In this paper, we give a classification of transitive Novikov algebras on four-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras based on Kim (1986, Journal of Differential Geometry 24, 373–394).     

Permutation invariant algebras, a Fock space realization and the Calogero model

We study permutation invariant oscillator algebras and their Fock space representations using three equivalent techniques, i.e. (i) a normally ordered expansion in creation and annihilation operators, (ii) the action of annihilation operators on monomial states in Fock space and (iii) Gram matrices of inner products in Fock space. We separately discuss permutation invariant algebras which possess hermitean number operators and permutation invariant algebras which possess non-hermitean number operators. The results of a general analysis are applied to the -extended Heisenberg algebra, underlying the M-body Calogero model. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of Gram matrices for the Calogero model. We discuss their structure, eigenvalues and eigenstates. We obtain a general condition for positivity of eigenvalues, meaning that all norms of states in Fock space are positive if this condition is satisfied. We find a universal critical point at which the reduction of the physical degrees of freedom occurs. We construct dual operators, leading to the ordinary Heisenberg algebra of free Bose oscillators. From the Fock-space point of view, we briefly discuss the existence of a mapping from the Calogero oscillators to the free Bose oscillators and vice versa.

Currents on Grassmann algebras

We define currents on a Grassmann algebra Gr(N) with N generators as distributions on its exterior algebra (using the symmetric wedge product). We interpret the currents in terms of ₂-graded Hochschild cohomology and closed currents in terms of cyclic cocycles (they are particular multilinear forms on Gr(N). An explicit construction of the vector space of closed currents of degree p on Gr(N) is given by using Berezin integration.     

Secondary resonances in Penning traps. Non-lie symmetry algebras and quantum states

The Penning trap Hamiltonian (hyperbolic oscillator in a homogeneous magnetic field) is considered in the basic three-frequency resonance regime. We describe its non-Lie algebra of symmetries. By perturbing the homogeneous magnetic field, we discover that, for special directions of the perturbation, a secondary hyperbolic resonance appears in the trap. For corresponding secondary resonance algebra, we describe its non-Lie permutation relations and irreducible representations realized by ordinary differential operators. Under an additional (Ioffe) inhomogeneous perturbation of the magnetic field, we derive an effective Hamiltonian over the secondary symmetry algebra. In an irreducible representation, this Hamiltonian is a model second-order differential operator. The spectral asymptotics is derived, and an integral formula for the asymptotic eigenstates of the entire perturbed trap Hamiltonian is obtained via coherent states of the secondary symmetry algebra.     

Lie algebraic approach to the time-dependent quantum general harmonic oscillator and the bi-dimensional charged particle in time-dependent electromagnetic fields

We discuss the one-dimensional, time-dependent general quadratic Hamiltonian and the bi-dimensional charged particle in time-dependent electromagnetic fields through the Lie algebraic approach. Such method consists in finding a set of generators that form a closed Lie algebra in terms of which it is possible to express a quantum Hamiltonian and therefore the evolution operator. The evolution operator is then the starting point to obtain the propagator as well as the explicit form of the Heisenberg picture position and momentum operators. First, the set of generators forming a closed Lie algebra is identified for the general quadratic Hamiltonian. This algebra is later extended to study the Hamiltonian of a charged particle in electromagnetic fields exploiting the similarities between the terms of these two Hamiltonians. These results are applied to the solution of five different examples: the linear potential which is used to introduce the Lie algebraic method, a radio frequency ion trap, a Kanai–Caldirola-like forced harmonic oscillator, a charged particle in a time dependent magnetic field, and a charged particle in constant magnetic field and oscillating electric field. In particular we present exact analytical expressions that are fitting for the study of a rotating quadrupole field ion trap and magneto-transport in two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures illuminated by microwave radiation. In these examples we show that this powerful method is suitable to treat quadratic Hamiltonians with time dependent coefficients quite efficiently yielding closed analytical expressions for the propagator and the Heisenberg picture position and momentum operators.     

The Thirring-model current group and its representations

The Gel'fand-Araki method is used to construct universally covariant representations of the Thirring-model current group. In this representation the currents are recovered as infinitesimal generators of the corresponding one-parametric subgroups. The determination of the generators of the two-dimensional Poincaré group is discussed and the existence of a selfadjoint Hamiltonian is shown. The possibility of determining the charges and their connection with the quantities defining the representation of the Thirring-model current group (algebra) is considered.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 57–62, November, 1975.     

The algebra generated by physical filters

This paper investigates mathematical properties of a finite-dimensional real algebra of linear operators which are generated by an orthomodular lattice of filters in the sense of Mielnik [4]. Properties of filter decomposability and a representation theorem for the vector space underlying the algebra mentioned are derived.     

Characteristic identities for Kac-Moody algebras

Characteristic identities are derived for the generators of a simple Kac-Moody algebra in any highest-weight unitary representation. Entries of powers of the characteristic matrix are rigorously defined on such modules. The eigenvalues of the characteristic matrix are shifted by generators of the Virasoro algebra which commutes with the diagonal action of the Kac-Moody algebra on a tensor product module. The characteristic identity can be cast as a product of a finite number of factors linear in the sine of the characteristic matrix, and the corresponding projection operators project on to modules of the diagonal Kac-Moody algebra.     

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with Real Spectrum in Quantum Mechanics

Examples are given of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators which have a real spectrum. Some of the investigated operators are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weyl–Heisenberg algebra. It is argued that the existence of an involutive operator [^(J)]\hat J which renders the Hamiltonian [^(J)]\hat J-Hermitian leads to the unambiguous definition of an associated positive definite norm allowing for the standard probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. Non-Hermitian extensions of the Poeschl–Teller Hamiltonian are also considered. Hermitian counterparts obtained by similarity transformations are constructed.     

ON GEOMETRIC QUANTIZATION FOR BOSONIC STRING (Ⅱ)

The Hilbert space and the representation of the generators of Virasoro algebra for bosonic string under a holomorphic polarization are given in this paper,It is shown that the contre term of Virasoro algebra may be interpreted as curvature of a holomorphic vector bundle (holomorphic Fock bundle) on coset space G¹¹=G/H where G denotes the conformal transformation group and H the one-parameter subgroup generated by the generator L₀.The condition of the conformal anomaly cancellation may be expressed as the vanishing curvature of the bundle which is obtained by the product of the holomorphic Fock bundle and the holomorphic ghost vacuum bundle.The geometric interpretations of both classical and quantized BRST operators,ghost and antighost operators are also discussed.     

Some Results on Novikov–Poisson Algebras

Novikov algebras were introduced in connection with the Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type and Hamiltonian operators in the formal variational calculus. A Novikov–Poisson algebra is a Novikov algebra with a compatible commutative associative algebraic structure, which was introduced to construct the tensor product of two Novikov algebras. In this paper, we commence a study of finite-dimensional Novikov–Poisson algebras. We show the commutative associative operation in a Novikov–Poisson algebra is a compatible global deformation of the associated Novikov algebra. We also discuss how to classify Novikov–Poisson algebras. And as an example, we give the classification of 2-dimensional Novikov–Poisson algebras.     

A Possible Way for Constructing Generators of the Poincaré Group in Quantum Field Theory

Starting from the instant form of relativistic quantum dynamics for a system of interacting fields, where amongst the ten generators of the Poincaré group only the Hamiltonian and the boost operators carry interactions, we offer an algebraic method to satisfy the Poincaré commutators.We do not need to employ the Lagrangian formalism for local fields with the N?ether representation of the generators. Our approach is based on an opportunity to separate in the primary interaction density a part which is the Lorentz scalar. It makes possible apply the recursive relations obtained in this work to construct the boosts in case of both local field models (for instance with derivative couplings and spins ≥ 1) and their nonlocal extensions. Such models are typical of the meson theory of nuclear forces, where one has to take into account vector meson exchanges and introduce meson-nucleon vertices with cutoffs in momentum space. Considerable attention is paid to finding analytic expressions for the generators in the clothed-particle representation, in which the so-called bad terms are simultaneously removed from the Hamiltonian and the boosts. Moreover, the mass renormalization terms introduced in the Hamiltonian at the very beginning turn out to be related to certain covariant integrals that are convergent in the field models with appropriate cutoff factors.     

SU(1, 1) and SU(2) Perelomov number coherent states: algebraic approach for general systems

We study some properties of the SU(1, 1) Perelomov number coherent states. The Schrödinger's uncertainty relationship is evaluated for a position and momentum-like operators (constructed from the Lie algebra generators) in these number coherent states. It is shown that this relationship is minimized for the standard coherent states. We obtain the time evolution of the number coherent states by supposing that the Hamiltonian is proportional to the third generator K₀ of the su(1, 1) Lie algebra. Analogous results for the SU(2) Perelomov number coherent states are found. As examples, we compute the Perelomov coherent states for the pseudoharmonic oscillator and the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator.     

The Supersymmetry Approaches to the Non-central Kratzer Plus Ring-Shaped Potential

In this paper, we study the Schr?dinger equation with non-central modified Kratzer potential plus a ring-shaped like potential, which is not spherically symmetric. We connect the corresponding Schr?dinger equation to the Laguerre and Jacobi equations. These lead us to have some raising and lowering operators which are first order equations. We take advantage from these first order equations and discuss the supersymmetry algebra. And also we obtain the corresponding partner Hamiltonian for Kratzer potential and investigate the commutation relation for the generators algebra.     

Quantum theory of the generalised uncertainty principle

We extend significantly previous works on the Hilbert space representations of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) in 3 + 1 dimensions of the form \([X_i,P_j] = i F_{ij}\) where \(F_{ij} = f({\mathbf {P}}^2) \delta _{ij} + g({\mathbf {P}}^2) P_i P_j\) for any functions f. However, we restrict our study to the case of commuting X’s. We focus in particular on the symmetries of the theory, and the minimal length that emerge in some cases. We first show that, at the algebraic level, there exists an unambiguous mapping between the GUP with a deformed quantum algebra and a quadratic Hamiltonian into a standard, Heisenberg algebra of operators and an aquadratic Hamiltonian, provided the boost sector of the symmetries is modified accordingly. The theory can also be mapped to a completely standard Quantum Mechanics with standard symmetries, but with momentum dependent position operators. Next, we investigate the Hilbert space representations of these algebraically equivalent models, and focus specifically on whether they exhibit a minimal length. We carry the functional analysis of the various operators involved, and show that the appearance of a minimal length critically depends on the relationship between the generators of translations and the physical momenta. In particular, because this relationship is preserved by the algebraic mapping presented in this paper, when a minimal length is present in the standard GUP, it is also present in the corresponding Aquadratic Hamiltonian formulation, despite the perfectly standard algebra of this model. In general, a minimal length requires bounded generators of translations, i.e. a specific kind of quantization of space, and this depends on the precise shape of the function f defined previously. This result provides an elegant and unambiguous classification of which universal quantum gravity corrections lead to the emergence of a minimal length.
