Berezin transform on the quantum unit ball

We introduce and study, in the framework of a theory of quantum Cartan domains, a q-analogue of the Berezin transform on the unit ball. We construct q-analogues of weighted Bergman spaces, Toeplitz operators and covariant symbol calculus. In studying the analytical properties of the Berezin transform we introduce also the q-analogue of the SU(n,1)-invariant Laplace operator (the Laplace-Beltrami operator) and present related results on harmonic analysis on the quantum ball. These are applied to obtain an analogue of one result by A.Unterberger and H.Upmeier. An explicit asymptotic formula expressing the q-Berezin transform via the q-Laplace-Beltrami operator is also derived. At the end of the paper, we give an application of our results to basic hypergeometric q-orthogonal polynomials.Comment: 38 pages, accepted by Journal of Mathematical Physic

Excited Heavy Quarkonium Production at the LHC through WW-Boson Decays

Sizable amount of heavy-quarkonium events can be produced through $W$-boson decays at the LHC. Such channels will provide a suitable platform to study the heavy-quarkonium properties. The "improved trace technology", which disposes the amplitude ${\cal M}$ at the amplitude-level, is helpful for deriving compact analytical results for complex processes. As an important new application, in addition to the production of the lower-level Fock states $|(Q\bar{Q'})[1S]>$ and $|(Q\bar{Q'})[1P]>$, we make a further study on the production of higher-excited $|(Q\bar{Q'})>$-quarkonium Fock states $|(Q\bar{Q'})[2S]>$, $|(Q\bar{Q'})[3S]>$ and $|(Q\bar{Q'})[2P]>$. Here $|(Q\bar{Q'})>$ stands for the $|(c\bar{c})>$-charmonium, $|(c\bar{b})>$-quarkonium and $|(b\bar{b})>$-bottomonium respectively. We show that sizable amount of events for those higher-excited states can also be produced at the LHC. Therefore, we need to take them into consideration for a sound estimation.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures and 6 tables. Typo errors are corrected, more discussions and two new figures have been adde

Unified pictures of Q-balls and Q-tubes

While Q-balls have been investigated intensively for many years, another type of nontopological solutions, Q-tubes, have not been understood very well. In this paper we make a comparative study of Q-balls and Q-tubes. First, we investigate their equilibrium solutions for four types of potentials. We find, for example, that in some models the charge-energy relation is similar between Q-balls and Q-tubes while in other models the relation is quite different between them. To understand what determines the charge-energy relation, which is a key of stability of the equilibrium solutions, we establish an analytical method to obtain the two limit values of the energy and the charge. Our prescription indicates how the existent domain of solutions and their stability depends on their shape as well as potentials, which would also be useful for a future study of Q-objects in higher-dimensional spacetime.Comment: 11 pages, 14 figure

Q-stars in 2+1 dimensions

We study q-stars with one or two scalar fields, non-abelian, and fermion-scalar q-stars in 2+1 dimensions in an anti de Sitter or flat spacetime. We fully investigate their properties, such as mass, particle number, radius, numerically, and focus on the matter of their stability against decay to free particles and gravitational collapse. We also provide analytical solutions in the case of flat spacetime and other special cases.Comment: 37 pg, to appear in Nucl. Phys.

Approach to the semiconductor cavity QED in high-Q regimes with q-deformed boson

The high density Frenkel exciton which interacts with a single mode microcavity field is dealed with in the framework of the q-deformed boson. It is shown that the q-defomation of bosonic commutation relations is satisfied naturally by the exciton operators when the low density limit is deviated. An analytical expression of the physical spectrum for the exciton is given by using of the dressed states of the cavity field and the exciton. We also give the numerical study and compare the theoretical results with the experimental resultsComment: 6 pages, 2 figure

QCD Corrections to Flavor Changing Neutral Coupling Mediated Rare Top Quark Decays

Recently we have presented an analysis of flavor changing neutral coupling mediated radiative top quark decays at next-to-leading order in QCD. In the present paper we provide the details of the calculation of QCD corrections to t-> q gamma and t-> q Z decays within the effective theory approach including operator mixing. In particular, we calculate virtual matrix element corrections and the corresponding bremsstrahlung contributions. In the case of t-> q gamma we study the effects of kinematic cuts on the extracted branching ratios. Analytical formulae are given at all stages of the calculation. We find that the t-> q gamma decay can be used to probe also the effective operators mediating t-> q g processes, since these can naturally contribute 10% or more to the radiative decay, given typical experimental cuts on the decay kinematics at hadron colliders. Conversely, we argue that any positive experimental signal of the t-> q g process would indicate a natural lower bound on t-> q gamma decay rate.Comment: 12 page

Competitive random sequential adsorption of point and fixed-sized particles: analytical results

We study the kinetics of competitive random sequential adsorption (RSA) of particles of binary mixture of points and fixed-sized particles within the mean-field approach. The present work is a generalization of the random car parking problem in the sense that it considers the case when either a car of fixed size is parked with probability q or the parking space is partitioned into two smaller spaces with probability (1-q) at each time event. This allows an interesting interplay between the classical RSA problem at one extreme (q=1), and the kinetics of fragmentation processes at the other extreme (q=0). We present exact analytical results for coverage for a whole range of q values, and physical explanations are given for different aspects of the problem. In addition, a comprehensive account of the scaling theory, emphasizing on dimensional analysis, is presented, and the exact expression for the scaling function and exponents are obtained.Comment: 7 pages, latex, 3 figure

Exercises in exact quantization

The formalism of exact 1D quantization is reviewed in detail and applied to the spectral study of three concrete Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians [-\d^2/\d q^2 + V(q)]^\pm on the half-line $\{q>0\}$, with a Dirichlet (-) or Neumann (+) condition at q=0. Emphasis is put on the analytical investigation of the spectral determinants and spectral zeta functions with respect to singular perturbation parameters. We first discuss the homogeneous potential $V(q)=q^N$ as $N \to +\infty$vs its (solvable) $N=\infty$ limit (an infinite square well): useful distinctions are established between regular and singular behaviours of spectral quantities; various identities among the square-well spectral functions are unraveled as limits of finite-N properties. The second model is the quartic anharmonic oscillator: its zero-energy spectral determinants \det(-\d^2/\d q^2 + q^4 + v q^2)^\pm are explicitly analyzed in detail, revealing many special values, algebraic identities between Taylor coefficients, and functional equations of a quartic type coupled to asymptotic $v \to +\infty$ properties of Airy type. The third study addresses the potentials $V(q)=q^N+v q^{N/2-1}$ of even degree: their zero-energy spectral determinants prove computable in closed form, and the generalized eigenvalue problems with v as spectral variable admit exact quantization formulae which are perfect extensions of the harmonic oscillator case (corresponding to N=2); these results probably reflect the presence of supersymmetric potentials in the family above.Comment: latex txt.tex, 2 files, 34 pages [SPhT-T00/078]; v2: corrections and updates as indicated by footnote
