چکیده

It is shown that the Morse inequalities can be obtained by consideration of a certain supersymmetric quantum mechanics Hamiltonian. Some of the implications of modern ideas in mathematics for supersymmetric theories are discussed.

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in theories without Lagrangians

We demonstrate that the supersymmetry can be dynamically broken even in theories without a Lagrangian. The example we study is the four-dimensional SUðNÞ gauge theory coupled to a strongly coupled superconformal theory, called TN , which does not have a Lagrangian description at present. Such a theory without Lagrangians can be analyzed due to the supersymmetry and duality. The model is a direc...

A New Modification of Morse Potential Energy Function

Interaction of meso — tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl) porphyrin (hereafter abbreviated to TSPP)with Na+ has been examined using HF level of theory with 6-31G* basis set. Counterpoise (CP)correction has been used to show the extent of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) on thepotential energy curves. The numbers of Na+ have a significant effect on the calculated potentialenergy curve (includ...

A Short History of the Interaction Between QFT and Topology

Today’s story should involve lots of people, but the stars are Sir Michael Atiyah and Edward Witten. It begins with a paper Witten wrote in 1982, called “Supersymmetry and Morse Theory” [3]. In this paper, Witten shows how to use ‘supersymmetric quantum mechanics’ to compute the de Rham cohomology of a compact manifold, M , via Morse theory. This was perhaps the first instance of using quantum ...

A tutorial on Quantum Cohomology

Let (M, f,G) be a manifold, a function and a Riemann metric on the manifold. Topologists would use these data in order to analyze the manifold by means of Morse theory, that is by studying the dynamical system ẋ = ±∇f . Many recent applications of physics to topology are based on another point of view suggested in E. Witten’s paper Supersymmetry and Morse theory J. Diff. Geom. (1982). Given the...

Ginsburg-Pitaevski-Gross differential equation with the Rosen-Morse and modified Woods-Saxon potentials

In this paper, we consider non-linear Ginsburg-Pitaevski-Gross equation with the Rosen-Morse and modifiedWoods-Saxon potentials which is corresponding to the quantum vortices and has important applications in turbulence theory. We use the Runge- Kutta-Fehlberg approximation method to solve the resulting non-linear equation.
