We use the Wigner transformation to study the electronic center-of-mass motion in phase-space for double ionization in a strong laser field. The rescattering mechanism is clearly visible in the evolution of the fully correlated two-electron system. In a mean-field calculation, on the other hand, the signatures of rescattering are missing. Some properties of the Wigner function in two-particle s...

The nonnegativity of the density operator of a state is faithfully coded in its Wigner distribution, and this places constraints on the moments of the Wigner distribution. These constraints are presented in a canonically invariant form which is both concise and explicit. Since the conventional uncertainty principle is such a constraint on the first and second moments, our result constitutes a g...

The Wigner equation provides an interesting mathematical limit, which recovers the constant field, ballistic Boltzmann equation. The peculiarities of a recently proposed Monte Carlo approach for solving the transient Wigner problem, based on generation and annihilation of particles are summarized. The annihilation process can be implemented at consecutive time steps to improve the Monte Carlo r...

This paper investigates the tilting modules of the cyclotomic q–Schur algebras, the Young modules of the Ariki–Koike algebras, and the interconnections between them. The main tools used to understand the tilting modules are contragredient duality, and the Specht filtrations and dual Specht filtrations of certain permutation modules. Surprisingly, Weyl filtrations — which are in general more pow...

We set up a framework for discussing “q-analogues” of the usual covariant differential operators for hermitian symmetric spaces. This turns out to be directly related to the deformation quantization associated to quadratic algebras satisfying certain conditions introduced by Procesi and De Concini.

The tensor product of vector and arbitrary representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q(son) of the universal enveloping algebra U(son) of Lie algebra son is defined. The Clebsch– Gordan coefficients of tensor product of vector and arbitrary classical or nonclassical type representations of q-algebra U ′ q(son) are found in an explicit form. The Wigner–Eckart theorem for vector operat...

This text is a survey of recent results obtained by the author and collaborators on different problems for non-self-adjoint operators. The topics are: Kramers-Fokker-Planck type operators, spectral asymptotics in two dimensions and Weyl asymptotics for the eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint operators with small random perturbations. In the introduction we also review the notion of pseudo-spectrum ...

In his book [14], Wong studies the properties of pseudodifferential operators arising in quantummechanics, first envisaged byWeyl [13], as bounded linear operators on L2(Rn) (the space of square integrable functions on Rn with respect to the Lebesgue measure). For this reason, M. W. Wong calls the operators treated in his book Weyl transforms. Here, we consider the singular partial differential...

We prove a version of Kontsevich’s formality theorem for two subspaces (branes) of a vector space X. The result implies in particular that the Kontsevich deformation quantizations of S(X∗) and ∧(X) associated with a quadratic Poisson structure are Koszul dual. This answers an open question in Shoikhet’s recent paper on Koszul duality in deformation quantization.

Let A be a sub-uncountable scalar. Recent developments in formal K-theory [20] have raised the question of whether every ordered topological space is additive. We show that 1 0 6= 1. Every student is aware that there exists a nonnegative and anti-injective factor. We wish to extend the results of [20] to Weyl functors.
