Symplectic geometries on supermanifolds

Extension of symplectic geometry on manifolds to the supersymmetric case is considered. In the even case it leads to the even symplectic geometry (or, equivalently, to the geometry on supermanifolds endowed with a non-degenerate Poisson bracket) or to the geometry on an even Fedosov supermanifolds. It is proven that in the odd case there are two different scalar symplectic structures (namely, an odd closed differential 2-form and the antibracket) which can be used for construction of symplectic geometries on supermanifolds.Comment: LaTex, 1o pages, LaTex, changed conten

Super-Poincare' algebras, space-times and supergravities (I)

A new formulation of theories of supergravity as theories satisfying a generalized Principle of General Covariance is given. It is a generalization of the superspace formulation of simple 4D-supergravity of Wess and Zumino and it is designed to obtain geometric descriptions for the supergravities that correspond to the super Poincare' algebras of Alekseevsky and Cortes' classification.Comment: 29 pages, v2: minor improvements at the end of Section 5.

Dynamics of a thin shell in the Reissner-Nordstrom metric

We describe the dynamics of a thin spherically symmetric gravitating shell in the Reissner-Nordstrom metric of the electrically charged black hole. The energy-momentum tensor of electrically neutral shell is modelled by the perfect fluid with a polytropic equation of state. The motion of a shell is described fully analytically in the particular case of the dust equation of state. We construct the Carter-Penrose diagrams for the global geometry of the eternal black hole, which illustrate all possible types of solutions for moving shell. It is shown that for some specific range of initial parameters there are possible the stable oscillating motion of the shell transferring it consecutively in infinite series of internal universes. We demonstrate also that this oscillating type of motion is possible for an arbitrary polytropic equation of state on the shell.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure

Canonical and D-transformations in Theories with Constraints

A class class of transformations in a super phase space (we call them D-transformations) is described, which play in theories with second-class constraints the role of ordinary canonical transformations in theories without constraints.Comment: 16 pages, LaTe

Confining ensemble of dyons

We construct the integration measure over the moduli space of an arbitrary number of N kinds of dyons of the pure SU(N) gauge theory at finite temperatures. The ensemble of dyons governed by the measure is mathematically described by a (supersymmetric) quantum field theory that is exactly solvable and is remarkable for a number of striking features: 1) The free energy has the minimum corresponding to the zero average Polyakov line, as expected in the confining phase; 2)The correlation function of two Polyakov lines exhibits a linear potential between static quarks in any N-ality non-zero representation, with a calculable string tension roughly independent of temperature; 3) The average spatial Wilson loop falls off exponentially with its area and the same string tension; 4) At a critical temperature the ensemble of dyons rearranges and de-confines; 5)The estimated ratio of the critical temperature to the square root of the string tension is in excellent agreement with the lattice data.Comment: 26 pp. Construction of general N-ality = k strings added.

Coherent States of the SU(N) groups

Coherent states $(CS)$ of the $SU(N)$ groups are constructed explicitly and their properties are investigated. They represent a nontrivial generalization of the spining $CS$ of the $SU(2)$ group. The $CS$ are parametrized by the points of the coset space, which is, in that particular case, the projective space $CP^{N-1}$ and plays the role of the phase space of a corresponding classical mechanics. The $CS$ possess of a minimum uncertainty, they minimize an invariant dispersion of the quadratic Casimir operator. The classical limit is ivestigated in terms of symbols of operators. The role of the Planck constant playes $h=P^{-1}$, where $P$ is the signature of the representation. The classical limit of the so called star commutator generates the Poisson bracket in the $CP^{N-1}$ phase space. The logarithm of the modulus of the $CS$ overlapping, being interpreted as a symmetric in the space, gives the Fubini-Study metric in $CP^{N-1}$. The $CS$ constructed are useful for the quasi-classical analysis of the quantum equations of the $SU(N)$ gauge symmetric theories.Comment: 19pg, IFUSP/P-974 March/199

Deformation Quantization of Geometric Quantum Mechanics

Second quantization of a classical nonrelativistic one-particle system as a deformation quantization of the Schrodinger spinless field is considered. Under the assumption that the phase space of the Schrodinger field is $C^{\infty}$, both, the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal and Berezin deformation quantizations are discussed and compared. Then the geometric quantum mechanics is also quantized using the Berezin method under the assumption that the phase space is $CP^{\infty}$ endowed with the Fubini-Study Kahlerian metric. Finally, the Wigner function for an arbitrary particle state and its evolution equation are obtained. As is shown this new "second quantization" leads to essentially different results than the former one. For instance, each state is an eigenstate of the total number particle operator and the corresponding eigenvalue is always ${1 \over \hbar}$.Comment: 27+1 pages, harvmac file, no figure

Controlling a resonant transmission across the δ′\delta'-potential: the inverse problem

Recently, the non-zero transmission of a quantum particle through the one-dimensional singular potential given in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function, $\lambda \delta'(x)$, with $\lambda \in \R$, being a potential strength constant, has been discussed by several authors. The transmission occurs at certain discrete values of $\lambda$ forming a resonance set ${\lambda_n}_{n=1}^\infty$. For $\lambda \notin {\lambda_n}_{n=1}^\infty$ this potential has been shown to be a perfectly reflecting wall. However, this resonant transmission takes place only in the case when the regularization of the distribution $\delta'(x)$ is constructed in a specific way. Otherwise, the $\delta'$-potential is fully non-transparent. Moreover, when the transmission is non-zero, the structure of a resonant set depends on a regularizing sequence $\Delta'_\varepsilon(x)$ that tends to $\delta'(x)$ in the sense of distributions as $\varepsilon \to 0$. Therefore, from a practical point of view, it would be interesting to have an inverse solution, i.e. for a given $\bar{\lambda} \in \R$ to construct such a regularizing sequence $\Delta'_\varepsilon(x)$ that the $\delta'$-potential at this value is transparent. If such a procedure is possible, then this value $\bar{\lambda}$ has to belong to a corresponding resonance set. The present paper is devoted to solving this problem and, as a result, the family of regularizing sequences is constructed by tuning adjustable parameters in the equations that provide a resonance transmission across the $\delta'$-potential.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures.
