Finitary Spacetime Sheaves of Quantum Causal Sets: Curving Quantum Causality

A locally finite, causal, and quantal substitute for a locally Minkowskian principal fiber bundle of modules of Cartan differential forms over a bounded region X of a curved C -smooth spacetime manifold M with structure group G that of orthochronous Lorentz transformations L ⁺ := SO(1,3), is presented. is usually regarded as the kinematical structure of classical Lorentzian gravity when the latter is viewed as a Yang-Mills type of gauge theory of a sl(2, {})-valued connection 1-form . The mathematical structure employed to model this replacement of is a principal finitary spacetime sheaf of quantum causal sets with structure group G _n, which is a finitary version of the continuous group G of local symmetries of General Relativity, and a finitary Lie algebra g _n-valued connection 1-form on it, which is a section of its subsheaf . is physically interpreted as the dynamical field of a locally finite quantum causality, whereas its associated curvature as some sort of finitary and causal Lorentzian quantum gravity.

We formulate the variational principle of theDirac equation within the noncommutative even space-timesubalgebra, the Clifford -algebra . A fundamental ingredient in ourmultivectorial algebraic formulation is a -complex geometry, . We derive the Lagrangian for theDirac-Hestenes equation and show that it must be mapped on , where denotes an -algebra of functions.     

New Simple Method for Obtaining Integrable Hierarchies of Soliton Equations with Multicomponent Potential Functions

A new simple method for obtaining integrable hierarchies of soliton equations is proposed. First of all, a new loop algebra is constructed, whose commutation operation is clear as that in loop algebra . Second, by making use of the Tu scheme, many of integrable hierarchies with multicomponent potential functions can be produced. As a specific application of our method, a multicomponent AKNS hierarchy is obtained. Finally, an expanding loop algebra of the loop algebra is constructed. Taking advantage of above, a type of integrable coupling system of the multicomponent AKNS hierarchy is worked out.

Preferred Invariant Symplectic Connections on Compact Coadjoint Orbits

Let be the Haag--Kastler net generated by the (2) chiral current algebra at level 1. We classify the SL(2, )-covariant subsystems by showing that they are all fixed points nets ^H for some subgroup H of the gauge automorphisms group SO(3) of . Then, using the fact that the net ₁ generated by the (1) chiral current can be regarded as a subsystem of , we classify the subsystems of ₁. In this case, there are two distinct proper subsystems: the one generated by the energy-momentum tensor and the gauge invariant subsystem .     

How to Describe the Space-Time Structure with Nets of C*-Algebras

The major subject of algebraic quantum fieldtheory is the study of nets of local C*-algebras, i.e.,maps ( ) assigning to each open,relatively compact region of space-time (M, g) aC*-algebra ( ), whose self-adjoint elements describe localobservables measurable in the region . A question discussed recently in a number ofpapers is how much information about the geometricstructure of the underlying space-time (M, g) is encoded in the algebraicstructure of the net ( ). Followingthese ideas, it is demonstrated in this paper howspace-time-related concepts like causality and observerscan be described in a purely algebraic way, i.e., using only thelocal algebras ( ).These results are then used to show how the space-time(M, g) can be reconstructed from the set _loc := { ( )| M open, compact} of local algebras.     

Gauge Theories: Geometry and Cohomological Invariants

We develop a geometrical structure of themanifolds and associated, respectively, withgauge symmetry and BRST symmetry. Then, we show that , where is the group of BRST transformations, is endowed with the structureof a principal fiber bundle over the base manifold. Furthermore, in this geometricalsetup, due to the nilpotency of the BRST operator, weprove that the effective action of a gauge theory is aBRST-exact term up to the classical action. Then, weconclude that the effective action where only the gaugesymmetry is fixed is cohomologically equivalent to the action where the gauge and the BRSTsymmetries are fixed.     

Fractional Spin Through Quantum Affine Algebras with Vanishing Central Charge

We study the fractional decomposition of the quantum enveloping affine algebras and with vanishing central charge in the limit . This decomposition is based on the bosonic representation and can be related to fractional supersymmetry and k-fermionic spin. The quantum affine algebras and the classical ones are equivalent in the fermionic realization.     

Covariant (hh′)-Deformed Bosonic and Fermionic Algebras as Contraction Limits of q-Deformed Ones

GL_h(n) ×GL_h(m)-covariant (hh)-bosonic[or (hh)-fermionic] algebras are built in terms of thecorresponding R_h and -matrices by contracting theGL_q(n) × -covariant q-bosonic (or q-fermionic) algebras , = 1, 2.When using a basis of wherein theannihilation operators are contragredient to thecreation ones, this contraction procedure can be carried out for any n, m values. Whenemploying instead a basis wherein the annihilationoperators, like the creation ones, are irreducibletensor operators with respect to the dual quantumalgebra U_q(gl(n)) , a contraction limit only exists forn, m {1, 2, 4, 6, . . .}. For n = 2, m = 1, andn = m = 2, the resulting relations can be expressed interms of coupled (anti)commutators (as in the classical case), by usingU_h(sl(2)) [instead of s1(2)] Clebsch-Gordancoefficients. Some U_h(sl(2)) rank-1/2irreducible tensor operators recently constructed byAizawa are shown to provide a realization of (2, 1).     

Braided Clifford Algebras as Quantum Deformations

We present a general algebraic framework for the study of quantum/braided Clifford algebras. We allow that the quadratic form g on the base vector space takes values from a noncommutative algebra . Clifford algebra is understood as a Chevalley—Kähler deformation of the braided exterior algebra built from V, , and the initial braid operator : . The new product is canonically associated to g, , and , and it is constructed by applying Rota's and Stein Cliffordization.     

Energy Levels of Interacting Fields in a Box

We study the influence of boundary conditions on energy levels of interacting fields in a box and discuss some consequences when we hange the size of the box. In order to do this we calculate the energy levels of bound states of a scalar massive field nteracting with another scalar field through the Lagrangian = > in a one-dimensional box on which we impose Dirichlet boundary conditions. We find that the gap between the bound states changes with the size of the box in a nontrivial way. For the case where the masses of the two fields are equal and for large box the energy levels of Dashen-Hasslacher-Neveu (DHN model) are recovered and we have a kind of boson condensate for the ground state. Below a critical box size the ground-state level splits, which we interpret as particle-antiparticle production under small perturbations of box size. Below other critical sizes, and , of the box, the ground state and firstexcited state merge in the continuum part of the spectrum.     

BV Structure of the Cohomology of Nilpotent Subalgebras and the Geometry of(W) Strings

Given a simple, simply laced, complex Lie algebra corresponding to the Lie group G, let be thesubalgebra generated by the positive roots. In this Letter we construct aBV algebra whose underlying graded commutative algebra is given by the cohomology, with respect to , of the algebra of regular functions on G with values in . We conjecture that describes the algebra of allphysical (i.e., BRST invariant) operators of the noncritical string. The conjecture is verified in the two explicitly known cases, ₂ (the Virasoro string) and ₃ (the string).     

On the Product of Real Spectral Triples

The product of two real spectral triples and , the first of which is necessarily even, was defined by A.Connes as given by and, in the even-even case, by . Generically it is assumed that the real structure obeys the relations , , , where the -sign table depends on the dimension n modulo 8 of the spectral triple. If both spectral triples obey Connes' >-sign table, it is seen that their product, defined in the straightforward way above, does not necessarily obey this -sign table. In this Letter, we propose an alternative definition of the product real structure such that the -sign table is also satisfied by the product.     

Tunneling Across an Inhomogeneous Delta-Barrier

The authors deal with the tunneling of electrons across an inhomogeneous delta-barrier defined by the potential energy (where 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> and 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> are two constants). In particular, the perpendicular incidence of an electron with a given value of the wave vector is considered. The electron is forward-scattered into the region behind the barrier (region 2: 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> ), i. e. the wave function is composed of plane waves with all wave vectors such that and \left. 0 \right)} $$ " align="middle" border="0"> ) (where ). Therefore, if 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , the wave function of the electron is represented as , where . An approximate formula is derived for the amplitude . The authors pay a special attention to the flow density and calculate this function in two cases: 1. for the plane and 2. for high values of is the diffraction angle). The authors discuss the relevance of their diffraction problem in a prospective quantum-mechanical theory of the tunneling of electrons across a randomly inhomogeneous Schottky barrier.

We also give a sufficient condition on the isotropy subalgebra of so that the transverse Poisson structureto the coadjoint orbit of is linear.     

Exact Wave Functions of Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Systems Involving Quadratic, Inverse Quadratic, and (1/\hat x)\hat p + \hat p(1/\hat x) Terms

We use the dynamical invariant method to derive quantum-mechanical solution of time-dependent Hamiltonian system consisting quadratic potential, inverse quadratic potential, and . The term in Hamiltonian containing gives the expression such as in coordinate space, which we can often meet in radial equation of quantum many body problem. The wave functions differed only a time-dependent phase factor from the eigenstates of the invariant operator Î and expressed in terms of an associated Laguerre function.

The fusion rules for the (p,q)-minimal model representations of the Virasoro algebra are shown to come from the group in the following manner. There is a partition into disjoint subsets and a bijection between and the sectors of the (p,q)-minimal model such that the fusion rules correspond to where .

Let (M, g) be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and the space of densities of degree on M. Denote the space of differential operators from to of order k and S _k with = – the corresponding space of symbols. We construct (the unique) conformally invariant quantization map . This result generalizes that of Duval and Ovsienko.

If , and is a finite (nonabelian) group, then is a compact group; a multiplicative cellular automaton (MCA) is a continuous transformation which commutes with all shift maps, and where nearby coordinates are combined using the multiplication operation of . We characterize when MCA are group endomorphisms of , and show that MCA on inherit a natural structure theory from the structure of . We apply this structure theory to compute the measurable entropy of MCA, and to study convergence of initial measures to Haar measure.     

Classical Euclidean Wormhole Solution and Wave Function for a Nonlinear Scalar Field

In this paper we consider the classical Euclidean wormhole solution of the Born—Infeld scalar field. The corresponding classical Euclidean wormhole solution can be obtained analytically for both very small and large . At the extreme limit of small the wormhole solution has the same format as one obtained by Giddings and Strominger (Nuclear Physics B 306, 890, 1988). At the extreme limit of large the wormhole solution is a new one. The wormhole wave functions can also be obtained for both very small and large . These wormhole wave functions are regarded as solutions of quantum-mechanical Wheeler—Dewitt equation with certain boundary conditions.
