Canonical Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Born proposed a unification of special relativity and quantum mechanics that placed position, time, energy and momentum on equal footing through a reciprocity principle and extended the usual position-time and energy-momentum line elements to this space by combining them through a new fundamental constant. Requiring also invariance of the symplectic metric yields as the invariance group, the in...
متن کاملRelativistic Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
We develop relativistic wave equations in the framework of the new non-hermitian PT quantum mechanics. The familiar Hermitian Dirac equation emerges as an exact result of imposing the Dirac algebra, the criteria of PT -symmetric quantum mechanics, and relativistic invariance. However, relaxing the constraint that in particular the mass matrix be Hermitian also allows for models that have no cou...
متن کاملVariational methods in relativistic quantum mechanics
This review is devoted to the study of stationary solutions of linear and nonlinear equations from relativistic quantum mechanics, involving the Dirac operator. The solutions are found as critical points of an energy functional. Contrary to the Laplacian appearing in the equations of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the Dirac operator has a negative continuous spectrum which is not bounded fr...
متن کاملThe Adiabatic Theorem of Quantum Mechanics
We prove the adiabatic theorem for quantum evolution without the traditional gap condition. We show that the theorem holds essentially in all cases where it can be formulated. In particular, our result implies that the adiabatic theorem holds also for eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum. If there is information on the Hölder continuity of the spectral measure, then one can also esti...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Quantum Mechanics and the Index Theorem
The basic features of supersymmetric quantum mechanics are reviewed and illustrated by examples from physics and geometry (the hydrogen atom, and massless fields in curved space). Using a discrete approximation to the path integral in the associated supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem is derived for the twi.sted Diraf operator. Specializa~i<;>ns of this in foll!. d...
