Quantum geometrodynamics for black holes and wormholes
The geometrodynamics of the spherical gravity with a selfgravitating thin
dust shell as a source is constructed. The shell Hamiltonian constraint is
derived and the corresponding Schroedinger equation is obtained. This equation
appeared to be a finite differences equation. Its solutions are required to be
analytic functions on the relevant Riemannian surface. The method of finding
discrete spectra is suggested based on the analytic properties of the
solutions. The large black hole approximation is considered and the discrete
spectra for bound states of quantum black holes and wormholes are found. They
depend on two quantum numbers and are, in fact, quasicontinuous.Comment: Latex, 32 pages, 5 fig
Controlling a resonant transmission across the -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, , with , being a
potential strength constant, has been discussed by several authors. The
transmission occurs at certain discrete values of forming a resonance
set . For
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 is constructed in a specific way. Otherwise, the
-potential is fully non-transparent. Moreover, when the transmission
is non-zero, the structure of a resonant set depends on a regularizing sequence
that tends to in the sense of
distributions as . Therefore, from a practical point of
view, it would be interesting to have an inverse solution, i.e. for a given
to construct such a regularizing sequence
that the -potential at this value is
transparent. If such a procedure is possible, then this value
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 -potential.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures. Corrections to the published version added;

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
Three-particle States in Nonrelativistic Four-fermion Model
On a nonrelativistic contact four-fermion model we have shown that the simple
Lambda-cut-off prescription together with definite fine-tuning of the Lambda
dependency of "bare"quantities lead to self-adjoint semi-bounded Hamiltonian in
one-, two- and three-particle sectors. The fixed self-adjoint extension and
exact solutions in two-particle sector completely define three-particle
problem. The renormalized Faddeev equations for the bound states with Fredholm
properties are obtained and analyzed.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, no figure
Fedosov and Riemannian supermanifolds
Generalizations of symplectic and metric structures for supermanifolds are
analyzed. Two types of structures are possible according to the even/odd
character of the corresponding quadratic tensors. In the even case one has a
very rich set of geometric structures: even symplectic supermanifolds (or,
equivalently, supermanifolds with non-degenerate Poisson structures), even
Fedosov supermanifolds and even Riemannian supermanifolds. The existence of
relations among those structures is analyzed in some details. In the odd case,
we show that odd Riemannian and Fedosov supermanifolds are characterized by a
scalar curvature tensor. However, odd Riemannian supermanifolds can only have
constant curvature.Comment: 20 page
Possible types of the evolution of vacuum shells around the de Sitter space
All possible evolution scenarios of a thin vacuum shell surrounding the
spherically symmetric de Sitter space have been determined and the
corresponding global geometries have been constructed. Such configurations can
appear at the final stage of the cosmological phase transition, when isolated
regions (islands) of the old vacuum remain. The islands of the old vacuum are
absorbed by the new vacuum, expand unlimitedly, or form black holes and
wormholes depending on the sizes of the islands as well as on the density and
velocity of the shells surrounding the islands.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figur
Quantization of (2+1)-spinning particles and bifermionic constraint problem
This work is a natural continuation of our recent study in quantizing
relativistic particles. There it was demonstrated that, by applying a
consistent quantization scheme to a classical model of a spinless relativistic
particle as well as to the Berezin-Marinov model of 3+1 Dirac particle, it is
possible to obtain a consistent relativistic quantum mechanics of such
particles. In the present article we apply a similar approach to the problem of
quantizing the massive 2+1 Dirac particle. However, we stress that such a
problem differs in a nontrivial way from the one in 3+1 dimensions. The point
is that in 2+1 dimensions each spin polarization describes different fermion
species. Technically this fact manifests itself through the presence of a
bifermionic constant and of a bifermionic first-class constraint. In
particular, this constraint does not admit a conjugate gauge condition at the
classical level. The quantization problem in 2+1 dimensions is also interesting
from the physical viewpoint (e.g. anyons). In order to quantize the model, we
first derive a classical formulation in an effective phase space, restricted by
constraints and gauges. Then the condition of preservation of the classical
symmetries allows us to realize the operator algebra in an unambiguous way and
construct an appropriate Hilbert space. The physical sector of the constructed
quantum mechanics contains spin-1/2 particles and antiparticles without an
infinite number of negative-energy levels, and exactly reproduces the
one-particle sector of the 2+1 quantum theory of a spinor field.Comment: LaTex, 24 pages, no figure
Evolution of a vacuum shell in the Friedman-Schwarzschild world
The method of an effective potential is used to investigate the possible
types of evolution of vacuum shells in the Friedman-Schwarzschild world. Such
shells are assumed to emerge during phase transitions in the early Universe.
The possible global geometries are constructed for the Friedman- Schwarzschild
worlds. Approximate solutions to the equation of motion of a vacuum shell have
been found. The conditions under which the end result of the evolution of the
vacuum shells under consideration is the formation of black holes and wormholes
with baby universes inside have been found. The interior of this world can be a
closed, flat, or open Friedman universe.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Minkowski superspaces and superstrings as almost real-complex supermanifolds
In 1996/7, J. Bernstein observed that smooth or analytic supermanifolds that
mathematicians study are real or (almost) complex ones, while Minkowski
superspaces are completely different objects. They are what we call almost
real-complex supermanifolds, i.e., real supermanifolds with a non-integrable
distribution, the collection of subspaces of the tangent space, and in every
subspace a complex structure is given.
An almost complex structure on a real supermanifold can be given by an even
or odd operator; it is complex (without "always") if the suitable superization
of the Nijenhuis tensor vanishes. On almost real-complex supermanifolds, we
define the circumcised analog of the Nijenhuis tensor. We compute it for the
Minkowski superspaces and superstrings. The space of values of the circumcised
Nijenhuis tensor splits into (indecomposable, generally) components whose
irreducible constituents are similar to those of Riemann or Penrose tensors.
The Nijenhuis tensor vanishes identically only on superstrings of
superdimension 1|1 and, besides, the superstring is endowed with a contact
structure. We also prove that all real forms of complex Grassmann algebras are
isomorphic although singled out by manifestly different anti-involutions.Comment: Exposition of the same results as in v.1 is more lucid. Reference to
