Comment on "unique translation between Hamiltonian operators and functional integrals".

چکیده
A careful treatment of the discretization errors in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics leads to a unique prescription for the translation from the Hamiltonian to the action in the functional integral. An example is given by an interaction quadratic in the occupation number, characteristic for many body bosonic systems. As a result, the term linear in the occupation number (chemical potential) receives a correction as compared to the usual formulation based on coherent states. A perturbative calculation supports the relevance of this correction.

Invariance and first integrals of continuous and discrete Hamiltonian equations
In this paper we consider the relation between symmetries and first integrals for both continuous canonical Hamiltonian equations and discrete Hamiltonian equations. We observe that canonical Hamiltonian equations can be obtained by variational principle from an action functional and consider invariance properties of this functional as it is done in Lagrangian formalism. We rewrite the well–kno...
متن کاملKnowledge Translation in Healthcare – Towards Understanding its True Complexities; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
This commentary argues that to fully appreciate the complexities of knowledge transfer one firstly has to distinguish between the notions of “data, information, knowledge and wisdom,” and that the latter two are highly context sensitive. In particular one has to understand knowledge as being personal rather than objective, and hence there is no form of knowledge that a-priori is more authoritat...
متن کاملDilations, models, scattering and spectral problems of 1D discrete Hamiltonian systems
In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...
متن کاملAn extended complete Chebyshev system of 3 Abelian integrals related to a non-algebraic Hamiltonian system
In this paper, we study the Chebyshev property of the 3-dimentional vector space $E =langle I_0, I_1, I_2rangle$, where $I_k(h)=int_{H=h}x^ky,dx$ and $H(x,y)=frac{1}{2}y^2+frac{1}{2}(e^{-2x}+1)-e^{-x}$ is a non-algebraic Hamiltonian function. Our main result asserts that $E$ is an extended complete Chebyshev space for $hin(0,frac{1}{2})$. To this end, we use the criterion and tools developed by...
متن کاملReflecting on Backward Design for Knowledge Translation; Comment on “A Call for a Backward Design to Knowledge Translation”
In a recent Editorial for this journal, El-Jardali and Fadlallah proposed a new framework for Knowledge Translation (KT) in healthcare. Many such frameworks already exist; thus, new entrants to the field must be scrutinized in regard to their unique contributions to advancing understanding and practice. The El-Jardali and Fadlallah framework focuses on policy-level discussions, a relatively und...
