    Laplace operators on differential forms over configuration spaces

    Full text link
    Spaces of differential forms over configuration spaces with Poisson measures are constructed. The corresponding Laplacians (of Bochner and de Rham type) on forms and associated semigroups are considered. Their probabilistic interpretation is given

    Remarks on some new models of interacting quantum fields with indefinite metric

    Full text link
    We study quantum field models in indefinite metric. We introduce the modified Wightman axioms of Morchio and Strocchi as a general framework of indefinite metric quantum field theory (QFT) and present concrete interacting relativistic models obtained by analytical continuation from some stochastic processes with Euclidean invariance. As a first step towards scattering theory in indefinite metric QFT, we give a proof of the spectral condition on the translation group for the relativistic models.Comment: 13 page

    A hierarchical model of quantum anharmonic oscillators: critical point convergence

    Full text link
    A hierarchical model of interacting quantum particles performing anharmonic oscillations is studied in the Euclidean approach, in which the local Gibbs states are constructed as measures on infinite dimensional spaces. The local states restricted to the subalgebra generated by fluctuations of displacements of particles are in the center of the study. They are described by means of the corresponding temperature Green (Matsubara) functions. The result of the paper is a theorem, which describes the critical point convergence of such Matsubara functions in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 24 page

    p-Adic Schr\"{o}dinger-Type Operator with Point Interactions

    Get PDF
    A pp-adic Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator Dα+VYD^{\alpha}+V_Y is studied. DαD^{\alpha} (α>0\alpha>0) is the operator of fractional differentiation and VY=∑i,j=1nbijÎŽxiV_Y=\sum_{i,j=1}^nb_{ij}\delta_{x_i} (bij∈C)(b_{ij}\in\mathbb{C}) is a singular potential containing the Dirac delta functions ÎŽx\delta_{x} concentrated on points {x1,...,xn}\{x_1,...,x_n\} of the field of pp-adic numbers Qp\mathbb{Q}_p. It is shown that such a problem is well-posed for α>1/2\alpha>1/2 and the singular perturbation VYV_Y is form-bounded for α>1\alpha>1. In the latter case, the spectral analysis of η\eta-self-adjoint operator realizations of Dα+VYD^{\alpha}+V_Y in L2(Qp)L_2(\mathbb{Q}_p) is carried out

    Many Body Problems with "Spin"-Related Contact Interactions

    Full text link
    We study quantum mechanical systems with "spin"-related contact interactions in one dimension. The boundary conditions describing the contact interactions are dependent on the spin states of the particles. In particular we investigate the integrability of NN-body systems with ÎŽ\delta-interactions and point spin couplings. Bethe ansatz solutions, bound states and scattering matrices are explicitly given. The cases of generalized separated boundary condition and some Hamiltonian operators corresponding to special spin related boundary conditions are also discussed.Comment: 13 pages, Late

    From Stochastic Differential Equations to Quantum Field Theory

    Full text link
    Covariant stochastic partial (pseudo-)differential equations are studied in any dimension. In particular a large class of covariant interacting local quantum fields obeying the Morchio-Strocchi system of axioms for indefinite quantum field theory is constructed by solving the analysed equations. The associated random cosurface models are discussed and some elementary properties of them are outlined.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, to appear in: Reports On Mathematical Physics No.X Vol.XX (199X

    On Integrability and Pseudo-Hermitian Systems with Spin-Coupling Point Interactions

    Full text link
    We study the pseudo-Hermitian systems with general spin-coupling point interactions and give a systematic description of the corresponding boundary conditions for PT-symmetric systems. The corresponding integrability for both bosonic and fermionic many-body systems with PT-symmetric contact interactions is investigated.Comment: 7 page

    Dispersive estimate for the Schroedinger equation with point interactions

    Full text link
    We consider the Schroedinger operator in R^3 with N point interactions placed at Y=(y_1, ... ,y_N), y_j in R^3, of strength a=(a_1, ... ,a_N). Exploiting the spectral theorem and the rather explicit expression for the resolvent we prove a (weighted) dispersive estimate for the corresponding Schroedinger flow. In the special case N=1 the proof is directly obtained from the unitary group which is known in closed form.Comment: 12 page

    Symmetry, Duality and Anholonomy of Point Interactions in One Dimension

    Full text link
    We analyze the spectral structure of the one dimensional quantum mechanical system with point interaction, which is known to be parametrized by the group U(2). Based on the classification of the interactions in terms of symmetries, we show, on a general ground, how the fermion-boson duality and the spectral anholonomy recently discovered can arise. A vital role is played by a hidden su(2) formed by a certain set of discrete transformations, which becomes a symmetry if the point interaction belongs to a distinguished U(1) subfamily in which all states are doubly degenerate. Within the U(1), there is a particular interaction which admits the interpretation of the system as a supersymmetric Witten model.Comment: 47 pages, 5 figures (with 7 EPS files); corrected typo

    On the stability of one particle states generated by quantum fields fulfilling Yang-Feldman equations

    Full text link
    We prove that for a Wightman quantum field ϕ(x)\phi(x) the assumptions (i) positivity of the metric on the state space H{\cal H} of the theory (ii) the asymptotic condition in the form of Yang-Feldman equations and (iii) Klein-Gordon equation for the outgoing field imply that the states generated by application of the asymptotic fields to the vacuum are stable. We prove by a counter example that this statement is wrong in the case of quantum fields with indefinite metric
