Quantum field inspired model of decision making: Asymptotic stabilization of belief state via interaction with surrounding mental environment
2018
This paper is devoted to justification of quantum-like models of the process of decision making based on the theory of open quantum systems, i.e. decision making is considered as decoherence. This process is modeled as interaction of a decision maker, Alice, with a mental (information) environment ${\cal R}$ surrounding her. Such an interaction generates "dissipation of uncertainty" from Alice's belief-state $\rho(t)$ into ${\cal R}$ and asymptotic stabilization of $\rho(t)$ to a steady belief-state. The latter is treated as the decision state. Mathematically the problem under study is about finding constraints on ${\cal R}$ guaranteeing such stabilization. We found a partial solution of th…
Quantum Field Theory under external conditions: gravitation and electrodynamics
2022
The semiclassical approximation in Quantum Field Theory is commonly used to study the propagation of quantized fields in classical backgrounds and accounts for fascinating non-perturbative quantum phenomena such as the spontaneous creation of particles induced by (non-trivial) external configurations. In this context, the computation of vacuum expectation values of physical observables becomes a complex issue, and advanced renormalization techniques are required to tame the new ultraviolet divergences caused by the external backgrounds. In curved spacetimes, all these interesting features are commonly studied within the Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime framework, initiated in the ea…

Numerical evaluation of multiple polylogarithms
2004
Multiple polylogarithms appear in analytic calculations of higher order corrections in quantum field theory. In this article we study the numerical evaluation of multiple polylogarithms. We provide algorithms, which allow the evaluation for arbitrary complex arguments and without any restriction on the weight. We have implemented these algorithms with arbitrary precision arithmetic in C++ within the GiNaC framework.
Statistical modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of wideband indoor mobile radio channel
2018
This paper focuses on the modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of wideband single-input single-output (SISO) mobile fading channels for indoor propagation environments. The indoor reference channel model is derived from a geometrical rectangle scattering model, which consists of an infinite number of scatterers. It is assumed that the scatterers are exponentially distributed over the two-dimensional (2D) horizontal plane of a rectangular room. Analytical expressions are derived for the probability density function (PDF) of the angle of arrival (AOA), the PDF of the propagation path length, the power delay profile (PDP), and the frequency correlation function (FCF). An efficie…
Dynamic transition to spontaneous scalarization in boson stars
2010
We show that the phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization predicted in neutron stars within the framework of scalar-tensor tensor theories of gravity, also takes place in boson stars without including a self-interaction term for the boson field (other than the mass term), contrary to what was claimed before. The analysis is performed in the physical (Jordan) frame and is based on a 3+1 decomposition of spacetime assuming spherical symmetry.
The frontiers of the virtual photons program at MAMI
2012
The most recent results and the future physics program of the high precision electron-scattering experiment at MAMI are briefly outlined. The A1 high-resolution spectrometers facility allows for a unique quality of virtual photon experiments. High precision form factor measurements, few-baryon systems highresolution structure studies and the innovative way in the search of dark photons illustrate the interplay between such diverse fields as precision atomic physics, nuclear astrophysics and astroparticle physics, where hadron physics plays a central and connecting role.
Infinite momentum frame calculation of semileptonic heavyΛb→Λctransitions including HQET improvements
1997
We calculate the transition form factors that occur in heavy {Lambda}-type baryon semileptonic decays such as, e.g., in {Lambda}{sub b}{r_arrow}{Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}+l{sup {minus}}+{bar {nu}}{sub l}. We use Bauer-Stech-Wirbel-type infinite momentum frame wave functions for the heavy {Lambda}-type baryons which we assume to consist of a heavy quark and a light spin-isospin zero diquark system. The form factors at q{sup 2}=0 are calculated from the overlap integrals of the initial and final {Lambda}-type baryon states. To leading order in the heavy mass scale the structure of the form factors agrees with the HQET predictions including the normalization at zero recoil. The leading order {omeg…
Including theΔ(1232)resonance in baryon chiral perturbation theory
2005
Baryon chiral perturbation theory with explicit $\ensuremath{\Delta}(1232)$ degrees of freedom is considered. The most general interactions of pions, nucleons, and \ensuremath{\Delta} consistent with all underlying symmetries as well as with the constraint structure of higher-spin fields are constructed. By use of the extended on-mass-shell renormalization scheme, a manifestly Lorentz-invariant effective-field theory with a systematic power counting is obtained. As applications, we discuss the mass of the nucleon, the pion-nucleon \ensuremath{\sigma} term, and the pole of the \ensuremath{\Delta} propagator.
Excited charmed mesons in chiral perturbation theory
1992
Abstract Heavy meson, p- to s-wave, one-pion transitions are studied in the context of the union of heavy quark and chiral symmetries. The interactions are described by an effective lagrangian density invariant under the combined heavy quark and chiral symmetries. We study the pattern of the heavy quark symmetry breaking by considering 1 m Q corrections to the infinite mass limit.
