    Generalized Fock Spaces and New Forms of Quantum Statistics

    Get PDF
    The recent discoveries of new forms of quantum statistics require a close look at the under-lying Fock space structure. This exercise becomes all the more important in order to provide a general classification scheme for various forms of statistics, and establish interconnections among them whenever it is possible. We formulate a theory of generalized Fock spaces, which has a three tired structure consisting of Fock space, statistics and algebra. This general formalism unifies various forms of statistics and algebras, which were earlier considered to describe different systems. Besides, the formalism allows us to construct many new kinds of quantum statistics and the associated algebras of creation and destruction operators. Some of these are: orthostatistics, null statistics or statistics of frozen order, quantum group based statistics and its many avatars, and `doubly-infinite' statistics. The emergence of new forms of quantum statistics for particles interacting with singular potential is also highlighted.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, Appeared in Spin-Statistics Connection and Commutation Relations, edited by R.C.

    Fock Space Representation of Differential Calculus on the Noncommutative Quantum Space

    Get PDF
    A complete Fock space representation of the covariant differential calculus on quantum space is constructed. The consistency criteria for the ensuing algebraic structure, mapping to the canonical fermions and bosons and the consequences of the new algebra for the statistics of quanta are analyzed and discussed. The concept of statistical transmutation between bosons and fermions is introduced

    Neutrino oscillation probabilities: Sensitivity to parameters

    Get PDF
    We study in detail the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation probabilities to the fundamental neutrino parameters and their possible determination through experiments. The first part of the paper is devoted to the broad theme of isolating regions in the neutrino (and anti-neutrino) energy and propagation length that are sensitive to the oscillation parameters. Such a study is relevant to neutrinos both from the Earth's atmosphere or from a neutrino factory. For completeness we discuss the sensitivity, however small, to the parameters involved in a three-generation framework, and to the Earth matter density profile. We then study processes relevant to atmospheric neutrinos which are sensitive to and allow precision measurements of the mixing angle theta_23 and mass-squared difference delta_32 apart from the mixing angle theta_13. Crucial to this analysis is charge identification; detectors having this capability can isolate these matter effects. In particular, we address the issue of using matter effects to determine whether the mixing angle theta_23 is maximal, and, if not, to explore how well its octant can be determined. When realistic detector resolutions are included, we find that deviations of about 15% (20%) from a maximal value of sin^2 theta_23=1/2 can be measured at 95% (99%) CL provided theta_13 is non-zero, sin^2 theta_13 >= 0.015, and the neutrino mass ordering is normal, with fairly large exposures of 1000 kton-years.Comment: 37 pages Latex file, 30 eps figure files; minor typos fixe

    A PILOT STUDY ON MANAGEMENT OF MADHUMEGAM (DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE-II) AT NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SIDDHA, CHENNAI-47.

        To rule out which of the combination of drug is the most beneficial for the patient to manage Madhumegam(Diabetes-Type-2). Some of them are taking only siddha medicines, and some of them are taking siddha medicines combined with allopathic medicines. So we have planned to do a pilot study on the management of Madhumegam patients in NIS as a Retrospective study.Data collection for assessment has been done by retrieving from the individuals' OPD records and using questionnaire method, at the time of OPD treatment at NIS. Data for 105 Madhumegam patients were collected  and taken up for the study.The statistical analysis reveals that the reduction of blood sugar for(siddha only) Group I at fasting was statistically significant(P<0.0001) and Group-II(siddha and allopathy) it was not significant(P=0.73).  The statistical analysis reveals that the reduction of blood sugar for(siddha only) Group I at postprandial was statistically significant(P<0.0001) and Group-II(siddha and allopathy) it was not significant(P=0.55). The stability of sugar level is seen in siddha group, but a marked deviation is in the combined group. The siddha medicine alone treated group (Group I) shows significant reduction of blood sugar both at fasting and post prandial. The siddha and allopathy treated group(Group II) has not shown significant reduction.Key words: Madhumegam, siddha,diabetes,allopathy, Retrospective, blood sugar

    Sensitivity analysis based artificial neural network approach for global solar radiation prediction in India

    Get PDF
    The objective of this paper is to build an artificial neural network model to predict global solar radiation (GSR) with improved accuracy using less number of best input parameters selected using sensitivity analysis. In this work, the input parameters used for training the artificial neural network (ANN) models are bright sunshine duration, maximum and minimum temperature, day length, months, extra terrestrial radiation (H0), relative humidity and geographical parameters of the locations namely the latitude and longitude. Sensitivity analysis is used to discover how the output data are influenced by the changeability of the input data.Three ANN models namely T-ANN, S-ANN and TS-ANN are proposed with most suitable input parameters selected using sensitivity analysis. The principle of this feature selection using sensitivity analysis is to improve the prediction accuracy of solar radiation models with less number of inputs. The proposed ANN model is also tested under noisy data and proved that ANN is able to perform reasonably good in GSR prediction on practical applications where the data is affected by noise caused by errors on measuring, fault of data acquisition system, recording problems, and so on

    Double Threefold Degeneracies for Active and Sterile Neutrinos

    Get PDF
    We explore the possibility that the 3 active (doublet) neutrinos have nearly degenerate masses which are split only by the usual seesaw mechanism from 3 sterile (singlet) neutrinos in the presence of a softly broken A4A_4 symmetry. We take the unconventional view that the sterile neutrinos may be light, i.e. less than 1 keV, and discuss some very interesting and novel phenomenology, including a connection between the LSND neutrino data and solar neutrino oscillations.Comment: 8 pages, no figur

    Hexagonal SU(3) Unification and its Manifestation at the TeV Scale

    Full text link
    We consider SU(3)C×SU(2)AL×SU(2)BL×U(1)YSU(3)_{C}\times SU(2)_{AL}\times SU(2)_{BL}\times U(1)_{Y} as the low-energy subgroup of supersymmetric SU(3)6SU(3)^{6} unification. This may imply small deviations from quark-lepton universality at the TeV scale, as allowed by neutron-decay data. New particles are predicted with specific properties. We discuss in particular the new heavy gauge bosons corresponding to SU(2)AL×SU(2)BL→SU(2)LSU(2)_{AL} \times SU(2)_{BL} \to SU(2)_L
