Particle Interpretations and Green Functions for a Free Scalar Field∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The formalism of Ashtekar and Magnon [2] for the definition of particles in quantum field theory in curved spacetime is further developed. The relation between basic objects of this formalism (e.g., the complex structure) and different Green functions is found. It allows one to derive composition laws for Green functions. The relation of two definitions of particles is reformulated in the formalism and the base-independent Bogoljubov transformation is expressed using quantities which are derivable directly from the “in-out” Green function. There exists a broader version [1] of this paper with additional review material. e-mail: [email protected], www: http://fermi.phys.ualberta.ca/~krtous/HomePages/

Sum-over-histories representation for the causal Green function of free scalar field theory.
A set of Green functions Gα(x − y), α ∈ [0, 2π[, for free scalar field theory is introduced, varying between the Hadamard Green function ∆1(x − y) ≡ 〈0 | {φ(x), φ(y)} | 0〉 and the causal Green function Gπ(x − y) = i∆(x − y) ≡ [φ(x), φ(y)]. For every α ∈ [0, 2π[ a path-integral representation for Gα is obtained both in the configuration space and in the phase space of the classical relativistic ...
متن کاملBosonic vacuum wave functions from the BCS–type wave function of the ground state of the massless Thirring model
A BCS–type wave function describes the ground state of the massless Thirring model in the chirally broken phase. The massless Thirring model with fermion fields quantized in the chirally broken phase bosonizes to the quantum field theory of the free massless (pseudo)scalar field (Eur. Phys. J. C 20, 723 (2001)). The wave functions of the ground state of the free massless (pseudo)scalar field ar...

We analyse Coleman’s theorem asserting the absence of Goldstone bosons and spontaneously broken continuous symmetry in the quantum field theory of a free massless (pseudo)scalar field in 1+1–dimensional space–time (Comm. Math. Phys. 31, 259 (1973)). We confirm that Coleman’s theorem reproduces the well–known statement by Wightman about the non–existence of a quantum field theory of a free massl...
متن کاملAN OPTIMAL FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER DESIGN BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND USING SCALAR SIGN FUNCTION
This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...
متن کاملEffective Lagrangians in bound state calculations
In order to investigate specific aspects of bound state calculations in a nonrelativistic framework, we consider the energy-levels of a massive scalar particle, which moves in an external field and interacts in addition with a massless scalar particle. The discussion includes the following topics: dimensionally regularized bound-state calculations, ultraviolet finiteness of bound-state observab...
