    New concept of relativistic invariance in NC space-time: twisted Poincar\'e symmetry and its implications

    Full text link
    We present a systematic framework for noncommutative (NC) QFT within the new concept of relativistic invariance based on the notion of twisted Poincar\'e symmetry (with all 10 generators), as proposed in ref. [7]. This allows to formulate and investigate all fundamental issues of relativistic QFT and offers a firm frame for the classification of particles according to the representation theory of the twisted Poincar\'e symmetry and as a result for the NC versions of CPT and spin-statistics theorems, among others, discussed earlier in the literature. As a further application of this new concept of relativism we prove the NC analog of Haag's theorem.Comment: 15 page

    For a fixed k in (-2,2), the discretized rotation on Z^2 is defined by (x,y)->(y,-[x+ky]). We prove that this dynamics has infinitely many periodic orbits.Comment: Revised after referee reports, and added a quantitative statemen

    Criticality in a Vlasov-Poisson system - a fermionic universality class

    Full text link
    A model Vlasov--Poisson system is simulated close the point of marginal stability, thus assuming only the wave-particle resonant interactions are responsible for saturation, and shown to obey the power--law scaling of a second-order phase transition. The set of critical exponents analogous to those of the Ising universality class is calculated and shown to obey the Widom and Rushbrooke scaling and Josephson's hyperscaling relations at the formal dimensionality d=5d=5 below the critical point at nonzero order parameter. However, the two-point correlation function does not correspond to the propagator of Euclidean quantum field theory, which is the Gaussian model for the Ising universality class. Instead it corresponds to the propagator for the fermionic {\it vector} field and to the {\it upper critical dimensionality} dc=2d_c=2. This suggests criticality of collisionless Vlasov-Poisson systems as representative of the {\it universality class} of critical phenomena of {\it a fermionic} quantum field description.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to Phys.

    Dispersion and damping of potential surface waves in a degenerate plasma

    Full text link
    Potential (electrostatic) surface waves in plasma half-space with degenerate electrons are studied using the quasi-classical mean-field kinetic model. The wave spectrum and the collisionless damping rate are obtained numerically for a wide range of wavelengths. In the limit of long wavelengths, the wave frequency ω\omega approaches the cold-plasma limit ω=ωp/2\omega=\omega_p/\sqrt{2} with ωp\omega_p being the plasma frequency, while at short wavelengths, the wave spectrum asymptotically approaches the spectrum of zero-sound mode propagating along the boundary. It is shown that the surface waves in this system remain weakly damped at all wavelengths (in contrast to strongly damped surface waves in Maxwellian electron plasmas), and the damping rate nonmonotonically depends on the wavelength, with the maximum (yet small) damping occuring for surface waves with wavelength of 5πλF\approx5\pi\lambda_{F}, where λF\lambda_{F} is the Thomas-Fermi length.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figure

    On "full" twisted Poincare' symmetry and QFT on Moyal-Weyl spaces

    Full text link
    We explore some general consequences of a proper, full enforcement of the "twisted Poincare'" covariance of Chaichian et al. [14], Wess [50], Koch et al. [34], Oeckl [41] upon many-particle quantum mechanics and field quantization on a Moyal-Weyl noncommutative space(time). This entails the associated braided tensor product with an involutive braiding (or \star-tensor product in the parlance of Aschieri et al. [3,4]) prescription for any coordinates pair of x,yx,y generating two different copies of the space(time); the associated nontrivial commutation relations between them imply that xyx-y is central and its Poincar\'e transformation properties remain undeformed. As a consequence, in QFT (even with space-time noncommutativity) one can reproduce notions (like space-like separation, time- and normal-ordering, Wightman or Green's functions, etc), impose constraints (Wightman axioms), and construct free or interacting theories which essentially coincide with the undeformed ones, since the only observable quantities involve coordinate differences. In other words, one may thus well realize QM and QFT's where the effect of space(time) noncommutativity amounts to a practically unobservable common noncommutative translation of all reference frames.Comment: Latex file, 24 pages.

    Opto-Acoustic Method of Tissue Oxygenation and its Biomedical Application

    Get PDF
    Novel opto-acoustic method of tissue oxygenation and restoring normal cell metabolism is proposed. The results of in vivo investigation the phenomenon of laser-induced photodissociation of blood oxyhemoglobin and its biomedical applications are presented. Photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin, the main biological function of which is oxygen transportation gives a unique possibility of additional oxygen extraction for restoring normal cell metabolism. Optical method of determination the therapeutic “dose” based on the response of changes in tissue oxygen concentration in dependence on wavelength and intensity of laser radiation has been developed. It is shown that in order to make the methods of phototherapy as well as laser therapy really efficient one has to control the oxygen concentration in tissue keeping it at the necessary level

    Existence of multi-site intrinsic localized modes in one-dimensional Debye crystals

    Get PDF
    The existence of highly localized multi-site oscillatory structures (discrete multibreathers) in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon chain which is characterized by an inverse dispersion law is proven and their linear stability is investigated. The results are applied in the description of vertical (transverse, off-plane) dust grain motion in dusty plasma crystals, by taking into account the lattice discreteness and the sheath electric and/or magnetic field nonlinearity. Explicit values from experimental plasma discharge experiments are considered. The possibility for the occurrence of multibreathers associated with vertical charged dust grain motion in strongly-coupled dusty plasmas (dust crystals) is thus established. From a fundamental point of view, this study aims at providing a first rigorous investigation of the existence of intrinsic localized modes in Debye crystals and/or dusty plasma crystals and, in fact, suggesting those lattices as model systems for the study of fundamental crystal properties.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, revtex forma

    Multitemporal generalization of the Tangherlini solution

    Full text link
    The n-time generalization of the Tangherlini solution [1] is considered. The equations of geodesics for the metric are integrated. For n=2n = 2 it is shown that the naked singularity is absent only for two sets of parameters, corresponding to the trivial extensions of the Tangherlini solution. The motion of a relativistic particle in the multitemporal background is considered. This motion is governed by the gravitational mass tensor. Some generalizations of the solution, including the multitemporal analogue of the Myers-Perry charged black hole solution, are obtained.Comment: 14 pages. RGA-CSVR-005/9

    Fuzzy Geometry of Phase Space and Quantization of Massive Fields

    Full text link
    The quantum space-time and the phase space with fuzzy structure is investigated as the possible quantization formalism. In this theory the state of nonrelativistic particle corresponds to the element of fuzzy ordered set (Foset) - fuzzy point. Due to Foset partial (weak) ordering, particle's space coordinate x acquires principal uncertainty dx. It's shown that Shroedinger formalism of Quantum Mechanics can be completely derived from consideration of particle evolution in fuzzy phase space with minimal number of axioms.Comment: 13 pages, Talk given at QFEXT07 Workshop, Leipzig, Sept. 200
