    Zariski Quantization as Second Quantization

    Full text link
    The Zariski quantization is one of the strong candidates for a quantization of the Nambu-Poisson bracket. In this paper, we apply the Zariski quantization for first quantized field theories, such as superstring and supermembrane theories, and clarify physical meaning of the Zariski quantization. The first quantized field theories need not to possess the Nambu-Poisson structure. First, we construct a natural metric for the spaces on which Zariski product acts in order to apply the Zariski quantization for field theories. This metric is invariant under a gauge transformation generated by the Zariski quantized Nambu-Poisson bracket. Second, we perform the Zariski quantization of superstring and supermembrane theories as examples. We find flat directions, which indicate that the Zariski quantized theories describe many-body systems. We also find that pair creations and annihilations occur among the many bodies introduced by the Zariski quantization, by studying a simple model. These facts imply that the Zariski quantization is a second quantization. Moreover, the Zariski quantization preserves supersymmetries of the first quantized field theories. Thus, we can obtain second quantized theories of superstring and supermembranes by performing the Zariski quantization of the superstring and supermembrane theories.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figure

    Inclusions of second quantization algebras

    Full text link
    In this note we study inclusions of second quantization algebras, namely inclusions of von Neumann algebras on the Fock space of a separable complex Hilbert space H, generated by the Weyl unitaries with test functions in closed, real linear subspaces of H. We show that the class of irreducible inclusions of standard second quantization algebras is non empty, and that they are depth two inclusions, namely the third relative commutant of the Jones' tower is a factor. When the smaller vector space has codimension n into the bigger, we prove that the corresponding inclusion of second quantization algebras is given by a cross product with R^n. This shows in particular that the inlcusions studied in hep-th/9703129, namely the inclusion of the observable algebra corresponding to a bounded interval for the (n+p)-th derivative of the current algebra on the real line into the observable algebra for the same interval and the n-th derivative theory is given by a cross product with R^p. On the contrary, when the codimension is infinite, we show that the inclusion may be non regular (cf. M. Enock, R. Nest, J. Funct. Anal. 137 (1996), 466-543), hence do not correspond to a cross product with a locally compact group.Comment: LaTex, 9 pages, requires cmsams-l.cl

    Bosonization method for second super quantization

    Full text link
    A bosonic-fermionic correspondence allows an analytic definition of functional super derivative, in particular, and a bosonic functional calculus, in general, on Bargmann- Gelfand triples for the second super quantization. A Feynman integral for the super transformation matrix elements in terms of bosonic anti-normal Berezin symbols is rigorously constructed.Comment: In memoriam of F. A.

    Second Quantization and the Spectral Action

    Get PDF
    We consider both the bosonic and fermionic second quantization of spectral triples in the presence of a chemical potential. We show that the von Neumann entropy and the average energy of the Gibbs state defined by the bosonic and fermionic grand partition function can be expressed as spectral actions. It turns out that all spectral action coefficients can be given in terms of the modified Bessel functions. In the fermionic case, we show that the spectral coefficients for the von Neumann entropy, in the limit when the chemical potential μ\mu approaches 0,0, can be expressed in terms of the Riemann zeta function. This recovers a result of Chamseddine-Connes-van Suijlekom.Comment: Author list is expanded. The calculations in the new version are extended to two more Hamiltonians. New references adde

    Second Quantization of the Wilson Loop

    Get PDF
    Treating the QCD Wilson loop as amplitude for the propagation of the first quantized particle we develop the second quantization of the same propagation. The operator of the particle position X^μ\hat{\cal X}_{\mu} (the endpoint of the "open string") is introduced as a limit of the large NN Hermitean matrix. We then derive the set of equations for the expectation values of the vertex operators \VEV{ V(k_1)\dots V(k_n)} . The remarkable property of these equations is that they can be expanded at small momenta (less than the QCD mass scale), and solved for expansion coefficients. This provides the relations for multiple commutators of position operator, which can be used to construct this operator. We employ the noncommutative probability theory and find the expansion of the operator X^μ\hat{\cal X}_\mu in terms of products of creation operators aμ† a_\mu^{\dagger}. In general, there are some free parameters left in this expansion. In two dimensions we fix parameters uniquely from the symplectic invariance. The Fock space of our theory is much smaller than that of perturbative QCD, where the creation and annihilation operators were labelled by continuous momenta. In our case this is a space generated by d=4d = 4 creation operators. The corresponding states are given by all sentences made of the four letter words. We discuss the implication of this construction for the mass spectra of mesons and glueballs.Comment: 41 pages, latex, 3 figures and 3 Mathematica files uuencode

    Entanglement in The Second Quantization Formalism

    Full text link
    We study properties of entangled systems in the (mainly non-relativistic) second quantization formalism. This is then applied to interacting and non-interacting bosons and fermions and the differences between the two are discussed. We present a general formalism to show how entanglement changes with the change of modes of the system. This is illustrated with examples such as the Bose condensation and the Unruh effect. It is then shown that a non-interacting collection of fermions at zero temperature can be entangled in spin providing that their distances do not exceed the inverse Fermi wavenumber. Beyond this distance all bipartite entanglement vanishes, although classical correlations still persist. We compute the entanglement of formation as well as the mutual information for two spin-correlated electrons as a function of their distance. The analogous non-interacting collection of bosons displays no entanglement in the internal degrees of freedom. We show how to generalize our analysis of the entanglement in the internal degrees of freedom to an arbitrary number of particles.Comment: 11 pages, no figures, a few typos corrected and some references adde
