Dirac Variables and Zero Modes of Gauss Constraint in Finite-Volume Two-Dimensional QED

The finite-volume QED$_{1+1}$ is formulated in terms of Dirac variables by an explicit solution of the Gauss constraint with possible nontrivial boundary conditions taken into account. The intrinsic nontrivial topology of the gauge group is thus revealed together with its zero-mode residual dynamics. Topologically nontrivial gauge transformations generate collective excitations of the gauge field above Coleman's ground state, that are completely decoupled from local dynamics, the latter being equivalent to a free massive scalar field theory.Comment: 13 pages, LaTe

Laughlin type wave function for two-dimensional anyon fields in a KMS-state

The correlation functions of two-dimensional anyon fields in a KMS-state are studied. For T=0 the $n$-particle wave functions of noncanonical fermions of level $\alpha$, $\alpha$ odd, are shown to be of Laughlin type of order $\alpha$. For $T>0$ they are given by a simple finite-temperature generalization of Laughlin's wave function. This relates the first and second quantized pictures of the fractional quantum Hall effect.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, comments and references added (version to appear in Physics Letters B

Do anyons solve Heisenberg's Urgleichung in one dimension

We construct solutions to the chiral Thirring model in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. We find that for all positive temperatures there are fermionic solutions only if the coupling constant is $\lambda = \sqrt{2(2n + 1)\pi}, n \in \bf N$.Comment: 19 pages LaTeX, to appear in Eur. Phys.

A pair potential supporting a mixed mean-field / BCS- phase

We construct a Hamiltonian which in a scaling limit becomes equivalent to one that can be diagonalized by a Bogoliubov transformation. There may appear simultaneously a mean-field and a superconducting phase. They influence each other in a complicated way. For instance, an attractive mean field may stimulate the superconducting phase and a repulsive one may destroy it.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, LaTe

Thermal correlators of anyons in two dimensions

The anyon fields have trivial $\alpha$-commutator for $\alpha$ not integer. For integer $\alpha$ the commutators become temperature-dependent operator valued distributions. The $n$-point functions do not factorize as for quasifree states.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX (misprints corrected, a reference added

Determination of the beam-spin asymmetry of deuteron photodisintegration in the energy region E-gamma=1.1-2.3 GeV

The beam-spin asymmetry, Sigma, for the reaction gamma d -\u3e pn has been measured using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) for six photon-energy bins, between 1.1 and 2.3 GeV, and proton angles in the center-of-mass frame, theta(c.m.), between 25 degrees and 160 degrees. These are the first measurements of beam-spin asymmetries at theta(c.m.) = 90. for photon-beam energies above 1.6 GeV, and the first measurements for angles other than theta(c.m.) = 90 degrees. The angular and energy dependence of Sigma is expected to aid in the development of QCD-based models to understand the mechanisms of deuteron photodisintegration in the transition region between hadronic and partonic degrees of freedom, where both effective field theories and perturbative QCD cannot make reliable predictions

Anyons and the Bose-Fermi duality in the finite-temperature Thirring model

Solutions to the Thirring model are constructed in the framework of algebraic QFT. It is shown that for all positive temperatures there are fermionic solutions only if the coupling constant is $\lambda=\sqrt{2(2n+1)\pi}, n\in {\bf N}$. These fermions are inequivalent and only for $n=1$ they are canonical fields. In the general case solutions are anyons. Different anyons (which are uncountably many) live in orthogonal spaces and obey dynamical equations (of the type of Heisenberg's "Urgleichung") characterized by the corresponding values of the statistic parameter. Thus statistic parameter turns out to be related to the coupling constant $\lambda$ and the whole Hilbert space becomes non-separable with a different "Urgleichung" satisfied in each of its sectors. This feature certainly cannot be seen by any power expansion in $\lambda$. Moreover, since the latter is tied to the statistic parameter, it is clear that such an expansion is doomed to failure and will never reveal the true structure of the theory. The correlation functions in the temperature state for the canonical dressed fermions are shown by us to coincide with the ones for bare fields, that is in agreement with the uniqueness of the $\tau$-KMS state over the CAR algebra ($\tau$ being the shift automorphism). Also the $\alpha$-anyon two-point function is evaluated and for scalar field it reproduces the result that is known from the literature.Comment: 25 pages, LaTe
