Quantum Canonical Transformations and Integrability: Beyond Unitary Transformations
Quantum canonical transformations are defined in analogy to classical canonical transformations as changes of the phase space variables which preserve the Dirac bracket structure. In themselves, they are neither unitary nor non-unitary. A definition of quantum integrability in terms of canonical transformations is proposed which includes systems which have fewer commuting integrals of motion th...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Duality and Canonical Transformations
We construct explicit canonical transformations producing non-abelian duals in principal chiral models with arbitrary group G. Some comments concerning the extension to more general σ-models, like WZW models, are given. PUPT-1532 hep-th/9503045 March 1995 ∗[email protected]
متن کاملUnitary and Non-Unitary Evolution in Quantum Cosmology
We analyse when and why unitarity violations might occur in quantum cosmology restricted to minisuperspace. To this end we discuss in detail backscattering transitions between expanding and contracting solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. We first show that upon neglecting only backscattering, one obtains an intermediate regime in which matter evolves unitarily but which does not correspon...
متن کاملOn Elementary Unitary and Φ-unitary Transformations
We introduce a simple uniform structure of elementary Φ-unitary matrices. Elementary Φ-unitary transformations are the extentions of Householder transformations in real and complex spaces with a definite or an indefinite inner product induced by a nonsingular signature matrix Φ. The extentions are found useful in the computations of complex matrices or special structured matrices. For two (comp...
متن کاملUnifying Unitary and Hyperbolic Transformations
In this paper we describe uniied formulas for unitary and hyperbolic reeections and rotations, and show how these uniied transformations can be used to compute a Hermitian triangular decomposition ^ R H D ^ R of a strongly nonsingular indeenite matrix ^ A given in the form ^ The uniication is achieved by the introduction of signature matrices which determine whether the applicable transformatio...
