A Generalization of the Bargmann-Fock Representation to Supersymmetry by Holomorphic Differential Geometry
In the Bargmann-Fock representation the coordinates act as bosonic
creation operators while the partial derivatives act as
annihilation operators on holomorphic -forms as states of a -dimensional
bosonic oscillator. Considering also -forms and further geometrical objects
as the exterior derivative and Lie derivatives on a holomorphic , we
end up with an analogous representation for the -dimensional supersymmetric
oscillator. In particular, the supersymmetry multiplet structure of the Hilbert
space corresponds to the cohomology of the exterior derivative. In addition, a
1-complex parameter group emerges naturally and contains both time evolution
and a homotopy related to cohomology. Emphasis is on calculus.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe
Phase transitions in spinor quantum gravity on a lattice
We construct a well-defined lattice-regularized quantum theory formulated in
terms of fundamental fermion and gauge fields, the same type of degrees of
freedom as in the Standard Model. The theory is explicitly invariant under
local Lorentz transformations and, in the continuum limit, under
diffeomorphisms. It is suitable for describing large nonperturbative and
fast-varying fluctuations of metrics. Although the quantum curved space turns
out to be on the average flat and smooth owing to the non-compressibility of
the fundamental fermions, the low-energy Einstein limit is not automatic: one
needs to ensure that composite metrics fluctuations propagate to long distances
as compared to the lattice spacing. One way to guarantee this is to stay at a
phase transition.
We develop a lattice mean field method and find that the theory typically has
several phases in the space of the dimensionless coupling constants, separated
by the second order phase transition surface. For example, there is a phase
with a spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. The effective low-energy
Lagrangian for the ensuing Goldstone field is explicitly
diffeomorphism-invariant. We expect that the Einstein gravitation is achieved
at the phase transition. A bonus is that the cosmological constant is probably
automatically zero.Comment: 37 pages, 12 figures Discussion of dimensions and of the

Fractional Derivative as Fractional Power of Derivative
Definitions of fractional derivatives as fractional powers of derivative
operators are suggested. The Taylor series and Fourier series are used to
define fractional power of self-adjoint derivative operator. The Fourier
integrals and Weyl quantization procedure are applied to derive the definition
of fractional derivative operator. Fractional generalization of concept of
stability is considered.Comment: 20 pages, LaTe
Fine-Tuning Renormalization and Two-particle States in Nonrelativistic Four-fermion Model
Various exact solutions of two-particle eigenvalue problems for
nonrelativistic contact four-fermion current-current interaction are obtained.
Specifics of Goldstone mode is investigated. The connection between a
renormalization procedure and construction of self-adjoint extensions is
revealed.Comment: 13 pages, LaTex, no figures, to be published in IJMP
Three-particle States in Nonrelativistic Four-fermion Model
On a nonrelativistic contact four-fermion model we have shown that the simple
Lambda-cut-off prescription together with definite fine-tuning of the Lambda
dependency of "bare"quantities lead to self-adjoint semi-bounded Hamiltonian in
one-, two- and three-particle sectors. The fixed self-adjoint extension and
exact solutions in two-particle sector completely define three-particle
problem. The renormalized Faddeev equations for the bound states with Fredholm
properties are obtained and analyzed.Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, no figure
A matrix solution to pentagon equation with anticommuting variables
We construct a solution to pentagon equation with anticommuting variables
living on two-dimensional faces of tetrahedra. In this solution, matrix
coordinates are ascribed to tetrahedron vertices. As matrix multiplication is
noncommutative, this provides a "more quantum" topological field theory than in
our previous works
Exact Evolution Operator on Non-compact Group Manifolds
Free quantal motion on group manifolds is considered. The Hamiltonian is
given by the Laplace -- Beltrami operator on the group manifold, and the
purpose is to get the (Feynman's) evolution kernel. The spectral expansion,
which produced a series of the representation characters for the evolution
kernel in the compact case, does not exist for non-compact group, where the
spectrum is not bounded. In this work real analytical groups are investigated,
some of which are of interest for physics. An integral representation for the
evolution operator is obtained in terms of the Green function, i.e. the
solution to the Helmholz equation on the group manifold. The alternative series
expressions for the evolution operator are reconstructed from the same integral
representation, the spectral expansion (when exists) and the sum over classical
paths. For non-compact groups, the latter can be interpreted as the (exact)
semi-classical approximation, like in the compact case. The explicit form of
the evolution operator is obtained for a number of non-compact groups.Comment: 32 pages, 5 postscript figures, LaTe
Equivalence of the Path Integral for Fermions in Cartesian and Spherical Coordinates
The path-integral calculation for the free energy of a spin-1/2 Dirac-fermion
gas is performed in spherical polar coordinates for a flat spacetime geometry.
Its equivalence with the Cartesian-coordinate representation is explicitly
established. This evaluation involves a relevant limiting case of the fermionic
path integral in a Schwarzschild background, whose near-horizon limit has been
shown to be related to black hole thermodynamics.Comment: 16 page
Flat World of Dilatonic Domain Walls
We study dilatonic domain walls specific to superstring theory.
Along with the matter fields and metric the dilaton also changes its value in
the wall background. We found supersymmetric (extreme) solutions which in
general interpolate between isolated superstring vacua with non-equal value of
the matter potential; they correspond to the static, planar domain walls with
{\it flat} metric in the string (sigma model) frame.
We point out similarities between the space-time of dilatonic walls and that
of charged dilatonic black holes. We also comment on non-extreme solutions
corresponding to expanding bubbles.Comment: 11 pgs (+2 figures available upon request), UPR-560-
Controlling a resonant transmission across the -potential: the inverse problem
Recently, the non-zero transmission of a quantum particle through the
one-dimensional singular potential given in the form of the derivative of
Dirac's delta function, , with , being a
potential strength constant, has been discussed by several authors. The
transmission occurs at certain discrete values of forming a resonance
set . For
this potential has been shown to be a perfectly reflecting wall. However, this
resonant transmission takes place only in the case when the regularization of
the distribution is constructed in a specific way. Otherwise, the
-potential is fully non-transparent. Moreover, when the transmission
is non-zero, the structure of a resonant set depends on a regularizing sequence
that tends to in the sense of
distributions as . Therefore, from a practical point of
view, it would be interesting to have an inverse solution, i.e. for a given
to construct such a regularizing sequence
that the -potential at this value is
transparent. If such a procedure is possible, then this value
has to belong to a corresponding resonance set. The present paper is devoted to
solving this problem and, as a result, the family of regularizing sequences is
constructed by tuning adjustable parameters in the equations that provide a
resonance transmission across the -potential.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures. Corrections to the published version added;
