On Scattering and Bound States for a Singular Potential
1970
To understand the origin of the difficulties in the determination of the physical wavefunc tion for an attractive inverse square potential, we study a model in which the singularity at the origin is substituted by a repulsive core. The structure of the spectrum of energy levels is discussed in some detail. The physical interpretation of the solutions of the Schrodinger equation for a potential of the form - (-h 2 /2m) 11/ r 2 presents difficulties, which occur for 11 larger than (l + 1/2)\ where l is the angular momentum. The difficulties are due to the fact that the condition of square integrability usually imposed on the wavefunction is not sufficient in this case to determine phase shif…
“The Important Thing is not to Stop Questioning”, Including the Symmetries on Which is Based the Standard Model
2014
New fundamental physical theories can, so far a posteriori, be seen as emerging from existing ones via some kind of deformation. That is the basis for Flato’s “deformation philosophy”, of which the main paradigms are the physics revolutions from the beginning of the twentieth century, quantum mechanics (via deformation quantization) and special relativity. On the basis of these facts we describe two main directions by which symmetries of hadrons (strongly interacting elementary particles) may “emerge” by deforming in some sense (including quantization) the Anti de Sitter symmetry (AdS), itself a deformation of the Poincare group of special relativity. The ultimate goal is to base on fundame…
Stock markets and quantum dynamics: A second quantized description
2009
In this paper we continue our description of stock markets in terms of some non-abelian operators which are used to describe the portfolio of the various traders and other observable quantities. After a first prototype model with only two traders, we discuss a more realistic model of market involving an arbitrary number of traders. For both models we find approximated solutions for the time evolution of the portfolio of each trader. In particular, for the more realistic model, we use the stochastic limit approach and a fixed point like approximation. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Pseudo-Bosons from Landau Levels
2010
We construct examples of pseudo-bosons in two dimensions arising from the Hamiltonian for the Landau levels. We also prove a no-go result showing that non-linear combinations of bosonic creation and annihilation operators cannot give rise to pseudo-bosons.
A no-go result for the quantum damped harmonic oscillator
2019
Abstract In this letter we show that it is not possible to set up a canonical quantization for the damped harmonic oscillator using the Bateman Lagrangian. In particular, we prove that no square integrable vacuum exists for the natural ladder operators of the system, and that the only vacua can be found as distributions. This implies that the procedure proposed by some authors is only formally correct, and requires a much deeper analysis to be made rigorous.
Quantization on the Virasoro group
1990
The quantization of the Virasoro group is carried out by means of a previously established group approach to quantization. We explicitly work out the two-cocycles on the Virasoro group as a preliminary step. In our scheme the carrier space for all the Virasoro representations is made out of polarized functions on the group manifold. It is proved that this space does not contain null vector states, even forc≦1, although it is not irreducible. The full reduction is achieved in a striaghtforward way by just taking a well defined invariant subspace ℋ(c, h), the orbit of the enveloping algebra through the vacuum, which is irreducible for any value ofc andh. ℋ(c, h) is a proper subspace of the sp…
Analytic Bergman operators in the semiclassical limit
2018
Transposing the Berezin quantization into the setting of analytic microlocal analysis, we construct approximate semiclassical Bergman projections on weighted $L^2$ spaces with analytic weights, and show that their kernel functions admit an asymptotic expansion in the class of analytic symbols. As a corollary, we obtain new estimates for asymptotic expansions of the Bergman kernel on $\mathbb{C}^n$ and for high powers of ample holomorphic line bundles over compact complex manifolds.
An LMI approach to quantized H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> control of uncertain linear systems with network-induced delays
2010
This paper deals with a convex optimization approach to the problem of robust network-based H ∞ control for linear systems connected over a common digital communication network with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. Firstly, we investigate the effect of both the output quantization levels and the network conditions under static quantizers. Secondly, by introducing a descriptor technique, using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and a suitable change of variables, new required sufficient conditions are established in terms of delay-range-dependent linear matrix inequalities for the existence of the desired network-based quantized controllers with simultaneous consideration of network induced…
Adaptive Backstepping Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Input and State Quantization
2022
Though it is common in network control systems that the sensor and control signals are transmitted via a common communication network, no result is available in investigating the stabilization problem for uncertain nonlinear systems with both input and state quantization. The issue is solved in this paper, by presenting an adaptive backstepping based control algorithm for the systems with sector bounded input and state quantizers. In addition to overcome the difficulty to proceed recursive design of virtual controls with quantized states, the relation between the input signal and error state need be well established to handle the effects due to quantization. It is shown that all closed-loop…
From where do quantum groups come?
1993
The phase space realizations of quantum groups are discussed using *-products. We show that on phase space, quantum groups appear necessarily as two-parameter deformation structures, one parameter (v) being concerned with the quantization in phase space, the other (η) expressing the quantum groups as “deformation” of their Lie counterparts. Introducing a strong invariance condition, we show the uniqueness of the η-deformation. This suggests that the strong invariance condition is a possible origin of the quantum groups.
