Dirac ’ s hole theory versus quantum field theory
Dirac’s hole theory and quantum field theory are usually considered equivalent to each other. For models of a certain type, however, the equivalence may not hold as we discuss in this Letter. This problem is closely related to the validity of the Pauli principle in intermediate states of perturbation theory.
متن کاملSome Jump Processes in Quantum Field Theory
A jump process on configuration space whose transition rates are governed by the state vector of a quantum field theory was first considered by J.S. Bell. This process and its variants involving “minimal” jump rates are reviewed, and a recent proof of global existence of Bell’s process is sketched. As an outlook, it is suggested how methods of this proof could be applied to similar global exist...
متن کاملSome Jump Processes in Quantum Field Theory
A jump process for the positions of interacting quantum particles on a lattice, with time-dependent transition rates governed by the state vector, was first considered by J.S. Bell. We review this process and its continuum variants involving “minimal” jump rates, describing particles as they get created, move, and get annihilated. In particular, we sketch a recent proof of global existence of B...
متن کاملSome Combinatorial Aspects of Quantum Field Theory
In this survey we present the appearance of some combinatorial notions in quantum field theory. We first focus on graph polynomials (the Tutte polynomial and its multivariate version) and their relation with the parametric representation of the commutative Φ field theory. We then generalize this to ribbon graphs and present the relation of the Bollobás–Riordan polynomial with the parametric rep...
متن کاملSome Boundary Effects in Quantum Field Theory *
We have constructed a quantum field theory in a finite box, with periodic boundary conditions, using the hypothesis that particles living in a finite box are created and/or annihilated by the creation and/or annihilation operators, respectively, of a quantum harmonic oscillator on a circle. An expression for the effective coupling constant is obtained showing explicitly its dependence on the di...
