    Convolution of n-dimensional Tempered Ultradistributions and Field Theory

    In this work, a general definition of convolution between two arbitrary Tempered Ultradistributions is given. When one of the Tempered Ultradistributions is rapidly decreasing this definition coincides with the definition of J. Sebastiao e Silva. In the four-dimensional case, when the Tempered Ultradistributions are even in the variables k0k^0 and ρ\rho (see Section 5) we obtain an expression for the convolution, which is more suitable for practical applications. The product of two arbitrary even (in the variables x0x^0 and rr) four dimensional distributions of exponential type is defined via the convolution of its corresponding Fourier Transforms. With this definition of convolution, we treat the problem of singular products of Green Functions in Quantum Field Theory. (For Renormalizable as well as for Nonrenormalizable Theories). Several examples of convolution of two Tempered Ultradistributions are given. In particular we calculate the convolution of two massless Wheeeler's propagators and the convolution of two complex mass Wheeler's propagators.Comment: 28 page

    In this work, a general definition of convolution between two arbitrary four dimensional Lorentz invariant (fdLi) Tempered Ultradistributions is given, in both: Minkowskian and Euclidean Space (Spherically symmetric tempered ultradistributions). The product of two arbitrary fdLi distributions of exponential type is defined via the convolution of its corresponding Fourier Transforms. Several examples of convolution of two fdLi Tempered Ultradistributions are given. In particular we calculate exactly the convolution of two Feynman's massless propagators. An expression for the Fourier Transform of a Lorentz invariant Tempered Ultradistribution in terms of modified Bessel distributions is obtained in this work (Generalization of Bochner's formula to Minkowskian space). At the same time, and in a previous step used for the deduction of the convolution formula, we obtain the generalization to the Minkowskian space, of the dimensional regularization of the perturbation theory of Green Functions in the Euclidean configuration space given in ref.[12]. As an example we evaluate the convolution of two n-dimensional complex-mass Wheeler's propagators.Comment: LaTeX, 52 pages, no figure

    Generation Engineering of Heralded Narrowband Colour Entangled States

    Full text link
    Efficient heralded generation of entanglement together with its manipulation is of great importance for quantum communications. In addition, states generated with bandwidths naturally compatible with atomic transitions allow a more efficient mapping of light into matter which is an essential requirement for long distance quantum communications. Here we propose a scheme where the indistinguishability between two spontaneous four-wave mixing processes is engineered to herald generation of single-photon frequency-bin entangled states, i.e., single-photons shared by two distinct frequency modes. We show that entanglement can be optimised together with the generation probability, while maintaining absorption negligible. Besides, the scheme illustrated for cold rubidium atoms is versatile and can be implemented in several other physical systems
