干涉现象中能量叠加的实验研究

经典的波动理论与量子理论均分别对杨氏双缝干涉实验进行了解释。由于两个解释理论一个简单直观、一个复杂抽象,但两者结果一致,使得学生在学习中容易接受波动理论而排斥量子理论。文中通过实验观测了杨氏双缝干涉光场中能量传递与叠加的实际情况,结果显示实验实际情况与波动理论解释明显不相符合,而与量子理论解释完全相符。通过实验,使学生直观地看到波动理论的局限性,并加深学生对量子力学相关理论的理解。     

On second-quantized open superstring theory

The SO(32) theory, in the limit where it is an open superstring theory, is completely specified in the light-cone gauge as a second-quantized string theory in terms of a “matrix string” model. The theory is defined by the neighborhood of a 1 + 1-dimensional fixed point theory, characterized by an Abelian gauge theory with type IB Green-Schwarz form. Non-orientability and SO(32) gauge symmetry arise naturally, and the theory effectively constructs an orientifold projection of the (weakly coupled) matrix type IIB theory (also discussed herein). The fixed point theory is a conformal field theory with boundary, defining the free string theory. Interactions involving the interior of open and closed strings are governed by a twist operator in the bulk, while string endpoints are created and destroyed by a boundary twist operator.     

Geometric Formulation of Gauge Theory of Gravity

Differential geometric formulation of quantum gauge theory of gravity is studied in this paper. The quantumgauge theory of gravity is formulated completely in the framework of traditional quantum field theory. In order to studythe relationship between quantum gauge theory of gravity and traditional quantum gravity which is formulated in curvedspace, it is important to set up the geometry picture of quantum gauge theory of gravity. The correspondence betweenquantum gauge theory of gravity and differential geometry is discussed and the geometry picture of quantum gaugetheory of gravity is studied.     

The critical supersaturations predicted by nucleation theory

A general set of equations is derived for calculating the supersaturation required to obtain a given rate of nucleation. This set is general enough to encompass all the present theories, the classical theory, the Lothe-Pound theory, the Reiss-Katz-Cohen theory, a recent theory by H. Reiss, and any other theory which includes a size-dependent correction to the classical theory. Comparison of these predictions is made for various substances.     

The refined theory of deep rectangular beams based on general solutions of elasticity

The problem of deducing one-dimensional theory from two-dimensional theory for a homogeneous isotropic beam is investigated. Based on elasticity theory, the refined theory of rectangular beams is derived by using Papkovich-Neuber solution and Lur’e method without ad hoc assumptions. It is shown that the displacements and stresses of the beam can be represented by the angle of rotation and the deflection of the neutral surface. Based on the refined beam theory, the exact equations for the beam without transverse surface loadings are derived and consist of two governing differential equations: the fourth-order equation and the transcendental equation. The approximate equations for the beam under transverse loadings are derived directly from the refined beam theory and are almost the same as the governing equations of Timoshenko beam theory. In two examples, it is shown that the new theory provides better results than Levinson’s beam theory when compared with those obtained from the linear theory of elasticity.     

表面等离子共振效应中传统近似理论与薄膜光学理论

指出Kretschmann模型的传统表面等离子共振公式在求解金属薄膜的参量时存在近似性,采用更为严密的薄膜光学理论,通过薄膜膜系的特征矩阵,得出表面等离子体共振衰减曲线.结果表明,表面等离子体共振近似理论与薄膜光学理论得到的共振角及反射率幅度存在差别;采用等高线图,给出了共振角差随着金属介电常量的变化规律.进一步的实验表明,薄膜光学理论所得模拟结果较表面等离子体共振近似理论与实验值吻合地更好,证明薄膜光学理论应用在表面等离子体共振效应要优于常用的近似理论.最后,采用两种理论对表面等离子体共振传感器进行优化设计,结果表明,两种理论所获得的高灵敏度分布区域差异较大,必须采用薄膜光学理论提供更精确的薄膜参量,来优化设计高灵敏度表面等离子体共振传感器.     

Dember effect: Problems and solutions

In the existing theory of Dember effect research community understands that the photo-electromotive force is the voltage difference arising between the illuminated and dark surfaces of a semiconductor. In this work it is shown that the latter is incorrect. A new formulation of the linear theory of Dember effect is presented. Conclusions of this new theory are essentially different from the ones of conventional theory. Proposed theory is applied to both open- and closed-circuit conditions.     

Simplicial vs. continuum string theory and loop equations

We derive loop equations in a scalar matrix field theory. We discuss their solutions in terms of simplicial string theory—the theory describing embeddings of two-dimensional simplicial complexes into the spacetime of the matrix field theory. This relation between the loop equations and the simplicial string theory gives further arguments that favor one of the statements of the paper hep-th/0407018. The statement is that there is an equivalence between the partition function of the simplicial string theory and the functional integral in a continuum string theory—the theory describing embeddings of smooth two-dimensional world-sheets into the spacetime of the matrix field theory in question.

Introduction to string theory and conformal field theory

A concise survey of noncritical string theory and two-dimensional conformal field theory is presented. A detailed derivation of a conformal anomaly and the definition and general properties of conformal field theory are given. Minimal string theory, which is a special version of the theory, is considered. Expressions for the string susceptibility and gravitational dimensions are derived.     

Violation of Locality Beyond Bell's Theorem for Multiparticle Perfect Correlations

We present the analogous inequalities of Bell's inequality for N-qubit system predicted respectively by realistic theory, quantum mechanics, local theory, local realistic theory, and local quantum theory on the same Bell-type joint experiment. It is shown that quantum mechanics can be interpreted by hidden-variable theories while being incompatible to any local theory. A necessary condition for the separability of N-qubit system is derived.     

On the Foundations of Superstring Theory

Superstring theory is an extension of conventional quantum field theory that allows for stringlike and branelike material objects besides pointlike particles. The basic foundations on which the theory is built are amazingly shaky, and, equally amazingly, it seems to be this lack of solid foundations to which the theory owes its strength. We emphasize that such a situation is legitimate only in the development phases of a new doctrine. Eventually, a more solidly founded structure must be sought. Although it is advertised as a “candidate theory of quantum gravity”, we claim that string theory may not be exactly that. Rather, just like quantum field theory itself, it is a general mathematical framework for a class of theories. Its major flaw could be that it still embraces a Copenhagen view on the relation between quantum mechanics and reality, while any “theory of everything”, that is, a theory for the entire cosmos, should do better than that.     

Divergence-free WKB theory

We present a divergence-free WKB theory, which is a new semiclassical theory modified by nonperturbative quantum corrections. Conventionally, the WKB theory is constructed upon a trajectory that obeys the bare classical dynamics expressed by a quadratic equation in momentum space. Contrary to this, the divergence-free WKB theory is based on a higher-order algebraic equation in momentum space, which represents a dressed classical dynamics. More precisely, this higher-order algebraic equation is obtained by including quantum corrections to the quadratic equation, which is the bare classical limit. An additional solution of the higher-order algebraic equation enables us to construct a uniformly converging perturbative expansion of the wavefunction. Namely, our theory removes the notorious divergence of wavefunction at a turning point from the WKB theory. Moreover, our theory is able to produce wavefunctions and eigenenergies more accurate than those given by the traditional WKB method. In addition, the divergence-free WKB theory that is based on the cubic equation allows us to construct a uniformly valid wavefunction for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). A recent short letter [T. Hyouguchi, S. Adachi, M. Ueda, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 170404] is the opening of the divergence-free WKB theory. This paper presents full formalism of this theory and its several applications concerning wavefunction and eigenenergy to show that our theory is a natural extension of the traditional WKB theory that incorporates nonperturbative quantum corrections.     

Two-dimensional topological gravity and intersection theory on the moduli space of holomorphic bundles

We define a two-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory for an arbitrary compact simple Lie group. This theory is defined in terms of intersection theory on the moduli space of flat connections on a two-dimensional surface and corresponds physically to a two-dimensional reduction and truncation of four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory. Two-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory defines a topological matter system and may be naturally coupled to two-dimensional topological gravity. This topological Yang-Mills theory is also closely related to Chern-Simons gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions. We also discuss a relation between SL (2, ) Chern-Simons theory and two-dimensional topological gravity.     

On the relation between Brueckner theory and Jastrow theory of nuclear matter

The two- and three-hole-line contributions to the ground state energy as calculated from Brueckner theory are derived from a cluster expansion followed by variation of the trial function. The implications of that derivation both for Brueckner theory and for Jastrow theory are worked out in detail. It is argued that the Jastrow theory is able to give simpler methods to calculate the ground state energy which may be of the same accuracy as current Brueckner calculations. It is shown that the single-particle potential of Brueckner theory is intimately related to a subsidiary condition used in the variation of the trial function. The main steps which have to be taken in a derivation of the general hole-line expansion from Jastrow theory are indicated. It is shown that the hole-line expansion is not a cluster expansion in the sense of Jastrow theory, and an interpretation is given of the “self-consistent choice” of the single-particle potential advocated in Brueckner theory.     

Approximately straight kink theories

A precise meaning is given to the idea of a kink theory approximating a vectoror vector-bundle-valued theory. It is shown that vector theories taking values in a vector bundle with groupSO(n- s,s;), acting naturally, do not approximate any kink theory. It is further shown that, where a kink theory is approximated by a vector bundle theory, the field equations in the vector theory can give rise to field equations in the kink theory. The theory of Skyrme and the sine-Gordon theory are of this form. An example is given of a nonlinear modification of electromagnetism having solitonlike solutions.     

Derivation of the Bosonic Part of the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian from a General Underlying Technicolor Theory

Bosonic part of SU(2)L U(1)Y effective chiral Lagrangian for electroweak symmetry breaking is derived from an underlying technicolor theory with no approximation. The underlying theory is assumed to be the most general gauge theory without fundamental scalars. A condensate is required to exist in the theory which breaks SU(2)L U(1)Y dynamically to U(1)em and the anomaly of the theory caused by gauge interaction must be cancelled. The formulation offers general definitions in terms of underlying theory for the low energy constants in effective chiral Lagrangian.``     

Sound wave motion in pipes having time-variant ambient temperature

The classical time-invariant acoustic waveguide theory is extended by allowing for temporal variations of the speed of sound. Essentially, what distinguishes the present theory from the classical waveguide theory is that, while the latter predicts stable waves for all frequencies, the present theory predicts that stable waves may occur only in certain frequency bands. Implication of the theory for engine exhaust pipes is discussed.     

Generalized measure theory

It is argued that a reformulation of classical measure theory is necessary if the theory is to accurately describe measurements of physical phenomena. The postulates of a generalized measure theory are given and the fundamentals of this theory are developed, and the reader is introduced to some open questions and possible applications. Specifically, generalized measure spaces and integration theory are considered, the partial order structure is studied, and applications to hidden variables and the logic of quantum mechanics are given.     

Theory of a gravitational gauge field with localization of the de Sitter group

A de Sitter-invariant gauge theory is formulated for the case where a 40-component de Sitter A-field is present. It is shown that the theory coincides with the Poincare-invariant gauge theory in a space with torsion with a cosmological term. Two other versions of a de Sitter-invariant theory are also discussed: the first is a metric theory of gravitation in a Riemann space; the second is a de Sitter-invariant generalization of the tetrad theory of gravitation in a space of absolute parallelism.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 50–53, November, 1986.
