    Action-Angle Variables for Complex Projective Space and Semiclassical Exactness

    We construct the action-angle variables of a classical integrable model defined on complex projective phase space and calculate the quantum mechanical propagator in the coherent state path integral representation using the stationary phase approximation. We show that the resulting expression for the propagator coincides with the exact propagator which was obtained by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex 3.0, SNUTP-94-6

    Positive Equation-of-state Parameter in the Accelerating Dilaton Cosmology

    Get PDF
    In a semiclassically quantized two-dimensional cosmological model, it can be shown that the parameter of the equation of state for the accelerating universe can be positive due to the negative energy density and the negative pressure, which is a little different from the conventional wisdom that the parameter is negative with the positivity of the energy density. Furthermore, we show that the full parameter composed of the classical and the quantum-mechanical contributions is positive and finite even though the partial state parameter from the quantum-mechanical contribution is not positive definite, which means that the state parameter is not perturbatively additive in this model.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures; to appear in the Journal of Korean Physical Societ
