Laplace operators on differential forms over configuration spaces

Spaces of differential forms over configuration spaces with Poisson measures are constructed. The corresponding Laplacians (of Bochner and de Rham type) on forms and associated semigroups are considered. Their probabilistic interpretation is given

Remarks on some new models of interacting quantum fields with indefinite metric

We study quantum field models in indefinite metric. We introduce the modified Wightman axioms of Morchio and Strocchi as a general framework of indefinite metric quantum field theory (QFT) and present concrete interacting relativistic models obtained by analytical continuation from some stochastic processes with Euclidean invariance. As a first step towards scattering theory in indefinite metric QFT, we give a proof of the spectral condition on the translation group for the relativistic models.Comment: 13 page

From Stochastic Differential Equations to Quantum Field Theory

Covariant stochastic partial (pseudo-)differential equations are studied in any dimension. In particular a large class of covariant interacting local quantum fields obeying the Morchio-Strocchi system of axioms for indefinite quantum field theory is constructed by solving the analysed equations. The associated random cosurface models are discussed and some elementary properties of them are outlined.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, to appear in: Reports On Mathematical Physics No.X Vol.XX (199X

On Integrability and Pseudo-Hermitian Systems with Spin-Coupling Point Interactions

We study the pseudo-Hermitian systems with general spin-coupling point interactions and give a systematic description of the corresponding boundary conditions for PT-symmetric systems. The corresponding integrability for both bosonic and fermionic many-body systems with PT-symmetric contact interactions is investigated.Comment: 7 page

Dispersive estimate for the Schroedinger equation with point interactions

We consider the Schroedinger operator in R^3 with N point interactions placed at Y=(y_1, ... ,y_N), y_j in R^3, of strength a=(a_1, ... ,a_N). Exploiting the spectral theorem and the rather explicit expression for the resolvent we prove a (weighted) dispersive estimate for the corresponding Schroedinger flow. In the special case N=1 the proof is directly obtained from the unitary group which is known in closed form.Comment: 12 page

Symmetry, Duality and Anholonomy of Point Interactions in One Dimension

We analyze the spectral structure of the one dimensional quantum mechanical system with point interaction, which is known to be parametrized by the group U(2). Based on the classification of the interactions in terms of symmetries, we show, on a general ground, how the fermion-boson duality and the spectral anholonomy recently discovered can arise. A vital role is played by a hidden su(2) formed by a certain set of discrete transformations, which becomes a symmetry if the point interaction belongs to a distinguished U(1) subfamily in which all states are doubly degenerate. Within the U(1), there is a particular interaction which admits the interpretation of the system as a supersymmetric Witten model.Comment: 47 pages, 5 figures (with 7 EPS files); corrected typo

Four-Parameter Point-Interaction in 1-D Quantum Systems

We construct a four-parameter point-interaction for a non-relativistic particle moving on a line as the limit of a short range interaction with range tending toward zero. For particular choices of the parameters, we can obtain a delta-interaction or the so-called delta'-interaction. The Hamiltonian corresponding to the four-parameter point-interaction is shown to correspond to the four-parameter self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the free particle moving on the line with the origin excluded.Comment: 6 pages, Plain Tex file.

Uniqueness of Gibbs states of a quantum system on graphs

Gibbs states of an infinite system of interacting quantum particles are considered. Each particle moves on a compact Riemannian manifold and is attached to a vertex of a graph (one particle per vertex). Two kinds of graphs are studied: (a) a general graph with locally finite degree; (b) a graph with globally bounded degree. In case (a), the uniqueness of Gibbs states is shown under the condition that the interaction potentials are uniformly bounded by a sufficiently small constant. In case (b), the interaction potentials are random. In this case, under a certain condition imposed on the probability distribution of these potentials the almost sure uniqueness of Gibbs states has been shown.Comment: 9 page

Many Body Problems with "Spin"-Related Contact Interactions

We study quantum mechanical systems with "spin"-related contact interactions in one dimension. The boundary conditions describing the contact interactions are dependent on the spin states of the particles. In particular we investigate the integrability of $N$-body systems with $\delta$-interactions and point spin couplings. Bethe ansatz solutions, bound states and scattering matrices are explicitly given. The cases of generalized separated boundary condition and some Hamiltonian operators corresponding to special spin related boundary conditions are also discussed.Comment: 13 pages, Late

A hierarchical model of quantum anharmonic oscillators: critical point convergence

A hierarchical model of interacting quantum particles performing anharmonic oscillations is studied in the Euclidean approach, in which the local Gibbs states are constructed as measures on infinite dimensional spaces. The local states restricted to the subalgebra generated by fluctuations of displacements of particles are in the center of the study. They are described by means of the corresponding temperature Green (Matsubara) functions. The result of the paper is a theorem, which describes the critical point convergence of such Matsubara functions in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 24 page
