Noether symmetries and the quantization of a Liénard-type nonlinear oscillator

The classical quantization of a Liénard-type nonlinear oscillator is achieved by a quantization scheme (M. C. Nucci. Theor. Math. Phys., 168:994–1001, 2011) that preserves the Noether point symmetries of the underlying Lagrangian in order to construct the Schrödinger equation. This method straightforwardly yields the Schrödinger equation in the momentum space as given in (V. Chithiika Ruby, M. Senthilvelan, and M. Lakshmanan. J. Phys. A: Math. Gen., 45:382002, 2012), and sheds light on the apparently remarkable connection with the linear harmonic oscillator.     

THE QUANTIZATION OF A FOURTH-ORDER EQUATION WITHOUT A SECOND-ORDER LAGRANGIAN

We present an equation of the fourth-order which does not possess a second-order Lagrangian and demonstrate by means of the method of reduction of order that one can obtain a first-order Lagrangian for it. This opens the way to quantization through the construction of an Hamiltonian which is suitable to be quantized according to the procedure of Dirac with the correct physical attributes.

Quantization of the dynamics of a particle on a double cone by preserving Noether symmetries

The classical quantization of the motion of a free particle and that of an harmonic oscillator on a double cone are achieved by a quantization scheme [M. C. Nucci, Theor. Math. Phys. 168 (2011) 994], that preserves the Noether point symmetries of the underlying Lagrangian in order to construct the Schrödinger equation. The result is different from that given in [K. Kowalski, J. Rembielński, Ann. Phys. 329 (2013) 146]. A comparison of the different outcomes is provided.     

The Angular Momentum Dilemma and Born–Jordan Quantization

The rigorous equivalence of the Schrödinger and Heisenberg pictures requires that one uses Born–Jordan quantization in place of Weyl quantization. We confirm this by showing that the much discussed “ angular momentum dilemma” disappears if one uses Born–Jordan quantization. We argue that the latter is the only physically correct quantization procedure. We also briefly discuss a possible redefinition of phase space quantum mechanics, where the usual Wigner distribution has to be replaced with a new quasi-distribution associated with Born–Jordan quantization, and which has proven to be successful in time-frequency analysis.     

New potential symmetries for some evolution equations

In this paper we derive new potential symmetries that seem not to be recorded in the literature. These potential symmetries are determined by considering a generalized potential system, rather than the natural potential system or a general integral variable. An inhomogeneous diffusion equation, a porous medium equation and the Fokker-Planck equation have been considered as application of this procedure.     

Generalized Canonical Ward Identities

In the framework of Faddeev-Senjanovic (FS) path-integral quantization, CP ¹ nonlinear σ model coupled to Non-Abelian Chern-Simons (CS) fields is quantized. Generalized canonical Ward identities (WI) are deduced from the invariance of the canonical effective action under gauge transformations, which are obtained from the generators of gauge transformations, including all first-class constraints, in Dirac’s sense. The generalized canonical WI has brief form and is equivalent to canonical WI under gauge transformations in Dirac’s sense.

Equivariant quantization of orbifolds

Equivariant quantization is a new theory that highlights the role of symmetries in the relationship between classical and quantum dynamical systems. These symmetries are also one of the reasons for the recent interest in quantization of singular spaces, orbifolds, stratified spaces, etc. In this work, we prove the existence of an equivariant quantization for orbifolds. Our construction combines an appropriate desingularization of any Riemannian orbifold by a foliated smooth manifold, with the foliated equivariant quantization that we built in Poncin et al. (2009) [19]. Further, we suggest definitions of the common geometric objects on orbifolds, which capture the nature of these spaces and guarantee, together with the properties of the mentioned foliated resolution, the needed correspondences between singular objects of the orbifold and the respective foliated objects of its desingularization.     

The Limit of Noether Conserved Charges is the Number of Primary First-Class Constraints in a Constrained System

We discuss the stationarity of generator G for gauge symmetries in two directions.One is to the motion equations defined by total Hamiltonian H_T,and gives that the number of the independent coefficients in the generator G is not greater than the number of the primary first-class constraints,and the number of Noether conserved charges is not greater than that of the primary first-class constraints,too.The other is to the variances of canonical variables deduced from the generator G,and gives the variances of Lagrangian multipliers contained in extended Hamiltonian H_E.And a second-class constraint generated by a first-class constraint may imply a new first-class constraint which can be combined by introducing other second-class constraints.Finally,we supply two examples.One with three first-class constraints (two is primary and one is secondary) has two Noether conserved charges,and the secondary first-class constraint is combined by three second-class constraints which are a secondary and two primary second-class constraints.The other with two first-class constraints (one is primary and one is secondary) has one Noehter conserved charge.     

Time operator in QFT with Virasoro constraints

Time operator is studied on the basis of field quantization, where the difficulty stemming from Pauli?s theorem is circumvented by borrowing ideas from the covariant quantization of the bosonic string, i.e., one can remove the negative energy states by imposing Virasoro constraints. Applying the index theorem, one can show that in a different subspace of a Fock space, there is a different self-adjoint time operator. However, the self-adjoint time operator in the maximal subspace of the Fock space can also represent the self-adjoint time operator in the other subspaces, such that it can be taken as the single, universal time operator. Furthermore, a new insight on Pauli?s theorem is presented.     

Renormalization of soliton theories

On- and Off-Axis Reconstruction of Kinoforms Using an Iterative Dummy Area Method

It is well known that the off-axis reconstruction error is lower than the on-axis one due to the quantization in kinoforms. We show some new results about the on- and off-axis reconstruction of quantized kinoforms which are calculated by the iterative dummy area method. An analysis is made of the dependence of quantized kinoform reconstruction on the position of the desired image. We find that the reconstruction error changes periodically when the image position is changed, and that the off-axis reconstruction can reduce the reconstruction error more than the on-axis one when the multiple number of input image sizes in the horizontal and/or the vertical direction is larger than the quantization levels of kinoforms.     

Natural and Projectively Equivariant Quantizations by means of Cartan Connections

The existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization in the sense of Lecomte [20] was proved recently by M. Bordemann [4], using the framework of Thomas–Whitehead connections. We give a new proof of existence using the notion of Cartan projective connections and we obtain an explicit formula in terms of these connections. Our method yields the existence of a projectively equivariant quantization if and only if an -equivariant quantization exists in the flat situation in the sense of [18], thus solving one of the problems left open by M. Bordemann.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 53B05, 53B10, 53D50, 53C10     

New quantization conditions for field theory without divergence

Quantum field theory is a fundamental tool in particle and nuclear physics. Elemental particles are assumed to be point particles and, as a result, the loop integrals are divergent in many cases. Regularization and renormalization are introduced in order to get the physical finite results from the infinite, divergent loop integrations. We propose new quantization conditions for the fields whose base is very natural, i.e., any particle is not a point particle but a solid one with three dimensions. With this solid quantization, divergence could disappear.     

Number-Phase Quantization Scheme for L-C Circuit

For a mesoscopic L-C circuit, besides the Louisell's quantization scheme in which electric charge q and electric current I are respectively quantized as the coordinate operator Q and momentum operator P, in this paper we propose a new quantization scheme in the context of number-phase quantization through the standard Lagrangian formalism. The comparison between this number-phase quantization with the Josephson junction's Cooper pair number-phase-difference quantization scheme is made.     

quantum field theory as group algebra

A group theoretical approach to dynamical quantization in general, and quantum field theory in particular, is developed. This approach opens possibilities of new quantization schemes. Some of these schemes are discussed in detail. They offer certain advantages such as relaxation of the conventional principles of unitarity and causality on the one hand and the possibility to attach some meaning to the formal solutions of the equations of unitarity and causality in terms of functional integrals on the other.     

Further investigation of mass dimension one fermionic duals

In this paper we proceed into the next step of formalization of a consistent dual theory for mass dimension one spinors. This task is developed approaching the two different and complementary aspects of such duals, clarifying its algebraic structure and the so called τ-deformation. The former regards the mathematical equivalence of the recent proposed Lorentz preserving dual with the duals of algebraic spinors, from Clifford algebras, showing the consistency and generality of the new dual. Moreover, by revealing its automorphism structure, the hole of the τ-deformation and contrasting the action group orbits with other Lorentz breaking scenarios, we argue that the new mass dimension one dual theory is placed over solid and consistent basis.     

Canonical quantization of 1+1 dimensional gravity

Based on Polyakov's evaluation of the Fadeev-Popov determinant for (1+1)-dimensional gravity in the conformal gauge we formulate a canonical quantization in the synchronous gauge. We find that the system is describable as a quantum mechanical system of one degree of freedom. The quantization can be carried out and solved when any number of gauge fields are included. Scalar and spinor fields lead to new difficulties. For positive cosmological constant the geometry collapses as suggested by the classical system. For negative cosmological constant a more interesting behavior involving exponentially expanding and contracting universes occurs.Supported in part by NSF Grant No. PHy 78-26847.On leave from Tel Aviv University.
