The problem of how to obtain quasi-classical states for quantum groups is examined. A measure of quantum indeterminacy is proposed, which involves expectation values of some natural quantum group operators. It is shown that within any finite dimensional irreducible representation, the highest weight vector and those unitarily related to it are the quasi-classical states. Quantum groups [1] have...

In scattering of H2 from Cu(111), vibrational excitation has so far defied an accurate theoretical description. To expose the causes of the large discrepancies with experiment, we investigate how the feature due to vibrational excitation (the "gain peak") in the simulated time-of-flight spectrum of (v = 1, j = 3) H2 scattering from Cu(111) depends on the surface temperature (Ts) and the possibi...

In his well-known paper dealing with the construction of the injective hull of a metric space Isbell introduced the concept of an endpoint of a (compact) metric space. In the present article we introduce similarly the notion of an endpoint in a (joincompact) T0-quasi-metric space. It turns out that in a (joincompact) T0-quasi-metric space there is a dual concept which we shall call a startpoint...
