    Notes: This article examines the Einstein field of equations of general relativity, when the source of the gravitational field is a perfect fluid, and the geometry is static and possesses spherical, plane, or hyperbolic symmetry. This examination unifies, extends, and amends some earlier works. It is shown that a previous qualitative treatment of static spherically symmetric perfect fluids that obey a γ-law equation of state can be extended to include the cases of plane and hyperbolic symmetry. In the case of plane symmetry, the exact solution is provided for general values of γ. This indicates defects in an earlier prescription that was given for a general equation of state.

    Notes: The formalism of the previous article is used to obtain solutions of Einstein's field equations for the interior of a rigidly rotating perfect fluid, with zero magnetic Weyl tensor. It is found that these solutions cannot represent isolated rotating masses.

    Notes: The asymptotic behaviors of tempered distributions with support in a convex, closed cone are classified by means of group theory. The notion of regularly varying distribution is introduced. An Abelian–Tauberian theorem for regularly varying tempered distributions, which generalizes the one-dimensional Abelian–Tauberian theorem of Hardy–Littlewood–Karamata and the many-dimensional extension due to Vladimirov, is proved. Applications to n-point functions are also presented.

    Notes: It is known that the mass spectrum of a strongly coupled (β=2/g2 small) 2+1 Wilson action lattice gauge theory contains a mass m0∼−4 ln β and two excited masses m1, m2∼−6 ln β and that m0+4 ln β has a convergent expansion in powers of β. We show that m1, m2 admit convergent expansions of the form −6 ln β+r(β), where r(β) is analytic at β=0. Furthermore, a finite lattice algorithm is given for determining cn, the nth β=0 Taylor coefficient of r(β). Here, cn only depends on a finite number of β=0 Taylor series coefficients of the plaquette–plaquette, plaquette–double plaquette, and double plaquette–double plaquette truncated correlation functions at a finite number of points. For the gauge group Z2, by duality, m1, m2 map to bound states of the low-temperature Ising model; a possible relation between an increasing number of bound states and roughening is discussed.

    Notes: A systematic theory is given for a general class of scalar waves by introducing a surface Green's function, which is a 2×2 matrix function governed by boundary equations, transferred onto two reference boundary planes enclosing the real boundary inside. It is subjected to several symmetries, including a relation eventually leading to optical relations. Governing equations of statistical surface Green's functions of first and second orders are obtained unperturbatively in exactly the same way as for a random medium, on replacing the medium to a surface impedance. Two operator methods are introduced to obtain the surface impedance and integral equations of reflection–transmission coefficients exactly for a given boundary change. The space Green's functions outside the boundary are obtained by a simple continuation of the surface Green's functions, and scattering cross sections are obtained from their asymptotic expressions at large distances. Various quantities and equations associated with the incoherent waves are written exactly by the introduction of a scattering matrix, as contrasted with the conventional one for a coherent scatterer. A slightly rough boundary is investigated, with the cross sections for both reflected and transmitted waves, where obtained equations are significant also for higher-order effects, including multiple scattering. An application to boundary-value problems in layer transport is suggested.

    Notes: A method is devised to investigate the existence of magnetic surfaces and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma equilibria in 3-D toroidal geometry. The key feature of this method is the utilization of a Hamiltonian formulation of the lines of force. Expanding the contravariant components of the magnetic field and scalar pressure in distance ρ from the magnetic axis, the 1-D Hamiltonian for the lines of force is written out explicitly. The Hamiltonian is then transformed to action-angle variables. It is shown that the action J corresponds to pressure in the equilibrium problem. Specifically, it is shown that if J is an invariant, then constant pressure and hence magnetic surfaces exist. A procedure of repeated canonical transformations is formulated and carried out to displace the coordinate dependence in the Hamiltonian to successively higher order in the expansion parameter, and thus make J an increasingly better adiabatic invariant. Arising in each successive canonical transformation is a series of potentially resonant denominators, i.e., denominators that may vanish. These potential resonances are identified, their significance explicated, and methods of handling them suggested.

    Notes: Dislocation continuity is derived from the Bilby–Kondo theory of dislocations using exterior calculus. Dislocation density is represented by the torsion vector-valued two-form. Burgers vectors are associated with the vector part of the torsion while dislocation lines are associated with the two-form part. The exterior derivative of the torsion is shown to vanish when the crystal curvature vanishes. This implies two simultaneous continuity conditions: Burgers vector conservation and continuity of dislocation lines. On the other hand, dislocation continuity is violated when the curvature does not vanish. Since this can occur on grain boundaries it is inferred that grain boundaries are regions where crystal curvature is concentrated.

    Notes: We state and prove rigorous mathematical results on the orbital stability of certain rectilinear trajectories of sufficiently energetic particles subjected to appropriate periodic potentials. This is done in the context of nontrivial classical Hamiltonian models, nonrelativistic and relativistic, in two space dimensions. The main steps involved in the proofs are the derivation of the asymptotic form of certain canonical maps in the plane in the limit of large particle energies and the application of a version of Moser's twist theorem. When suitably specialized, these results establish rigorously for the first time that the pertinent straight-line channeling trajectories of fast particles in two-dimensional rigid crystal lattices have this stability property under reasonable conditions on the crystal potential.

    Notes: The role of manifolds endowed with a parallelizing torsion in Kaluza–Klein theories is examined. In particular the spin connection on such manifolds is demonstrated to be a single pure gauge almost everywhere on the manifold. This follows from the Frobenius integration theorem. As a consequence of this result the computation of the representation of massless fermions follows immediately and trivially. The spectrum of massless fermions on manifolds with a parallelizing torsion is contrasted with the analogous spectrum on manifolds with nontrivial topological configurations. While the remarks are primarily of pedagogic value much of the relevant mathematics is made intuitive.

    Notes: The Toda lattice and the two-dimensional Toda lattice (2-DTL) are shown to possess a type of "Painlevé property'' that is based on the use of separate "singular manifolds'' for each dependent variable. The isospectral problem for the 2-DTL found by both Mikhailov and by Fordy and Gibbons can be simply and logically derived from this analysis. Some remarks are made about the connection between our work and independent work of Kametaka and Airhault on the relationship between the Toda lattice and the second Painlevé transcendent.

    Notes: A concept of conditional expectations in quantum theory is established with interrelations to previously introduced concepts of the Cycon–Hellwig conditional expectations and a posteriori states, which are analogous to the existing interrelations in the classical probability theory among conditional expectations related to random variables, those related to σ subalgebras and conditional probability distributions. These three concepts are shown to have satisfactory statistical interpretation in the quantum measuring processes. For the above purpose, we introduce an integration with respect to functions with values in the states of operator algebras and positive operator valued measures such that the resulting indefinite integrals are completely positive map valued measures. Eventually, it is proved that in the von Neumann algebraic formulation, the Cycon–Hellwig conditional expectations always exist as completely positive map valued measures.

    Notes: We develop a theory of canonical transformations for presymplectic systems, reducing this concept to that of canonical transformations for regular coisotropic canonical systems. In this way we can also link these with the usual canonical transformations for the symplectic reduced phase space. Furthermore, the concept of a generating function arises in a natural way as well as that of gauge group.

    Notes: Integrable Hamiltonians with velocity-dependent potentials, including those of Fokker–Planck-type H=1/2(p2x+p2y)+Kxpx+Kypy, are constructed from integrable Hamiltonians of type H=1/2(p2x+p2y)+V(x,y) using certain canonical and noncanonical transformations. Some of the Hamiltonians obtained this way are integrable only for zero energy. Candidates for the Φ potential, which is of interest for Fokker–Planck models, are constructed in several cases.

    Notes: An interrelationship between various representations of the inverse scattering transformation is established by examining eigenfunctions of Lax-pair operators of the sine–Gordon equation and the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. In particular, it is shown explicitly that there exist Lax-pair operators for the squared-sum and squared-difference eigenfunctions of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur inverse scattering transformation.

    Notes: The reduced wave equation Δu+k2n2(x)u=0 is treated where n(x) fluctuates about unity in a compact domain D, and is equal to unity in the region exterior to D. In the Rytov approximation the total field u(x) generated by an incident field ui(x) has the form u(x)∼ui(x)exp φ(x) where φ(x)ui(x)=(1/4π)∫D (eik||x−y||/||x−y||)k2(n2−1) ×ui(y)dτy. It is shown that under suitable conditions on n(x) and restrictions on ui(x), the approximation is a leading term of a convergent expansion holding for all x in D. This is in contrast to previous theory, which treated the Rytov approximation as an asymptotic expansion valid in the forward-scattered direction.

    Notes: The Levinson theorem is proved by the Sturm–Liouville theorem in this paper. For the potential ∫10r||V(r)||dr 〈∞,V(r)→b/r2 when r→∞, the modified Levinson theorem is derived as nl=(1/π)δl(0) +(a−l)/2− 1/2 sin2{δl(0)+[(a−l)/2]π}, if a(a+1)≡b+l(l+1)〉 3/4 or a=0. Two examples which violate the Levinson theorem and satisfy the modified Levinson theorem are discussed.

    Notes: There is a theorem of Wigner that states that phase-plane distribution functions involving the state bilinearly and having correct marginals must take negative values for certain states. The purpose of this paper is to support the statement that these phase-plane distribution functions are for hardly any state everywhere non-negative. In particular, it is shown that for certain generalized Wigner distribution functions there are no smooth states (except the Gaussians for the Wigner distribution function itself) whose distribution function is everywhere non-negative. This class of Wigner-type distribution functions contains the Margenau–Hill distribution. Furthermore, the argument used in the proof of Wigner's theorem is augmented to show that under mild conditions one can find for any two states f, g with non-negative distribution functions a linear combination h of f and g whose distribution function takes negative values, unless f and g are proportional.

    Notes: The integral representation of the electromagnetic two-form, defined on Minkowski space-time, is studied from a new point of view. The aim of the paper is to obtain an invariant criteria in order to define the radiative field. This criteria generalizes the well-known structureless charge case. We begin with the curvature two-form, because its field equations incorporate the motion of the sources. The gauge theory methods (connection one-forms) are not suited because their field equations do not incorporate the motion of the sources. We obtain an integral solution of the Maxwell equations in the case of a flow of charges in irrotational motion. This solution induces us to propose a new method of solving the problem of the nature of the retarded radiative field. This method is based on a projection tensor operator which, being local, is suited to being implemented on general relativity. We propose the field equations for the pair {electromagnetic field, projection tensor}. These field equations are an algebraic differential first-order system of one-forms, which verifies automatically the integrability conditions.

    Notes: In an earlier investigation of the class of shear-free expanding (or contracting) irrotational perfect fluids obeying a barotropic equation of state p=p( μ), and satisfying the field equations of general relativity, it was shown that the space-times form three distinct classes. In one class, the fluid acceleration is zero (i.e., the flow is geodesic), and the space-times are the well-known spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) models. In the other two classes, the acceleration is nonzero, and the space-times are spatially anisotropic and are less familiar. One of these classes consists of the spherically symmetric Wyman solutions, whereas models that are plane symmetric, and either spatially or temporally homogeneous, constitute the final class. Analytic forms for these anisotropic space-time metrics were given, although in each case their exact determination would depend upon the solution of a single nonlinear ordinary differential equation, which has not been achieved. The purpose of the present article is to provide a pictorial description of the solutions of these equations, to depict qualitatively similar and distinct subclasses of solution, and hence to discover in some detail all possible global behaviors of the associated space-times. In all cases, it is found that, when the space-time is sufficiently extended, the fluid exhibits unphysical properties. The conclusion is that shear-free expanding (or contracting) relativistic perfect fluids that obey an equation of state p=p( μ) must be FRW, or else must be restricted to "local'' regions, by means of a suitable extension in which at least one of the conditions defining the entire family is relaxed.

    Notes: Weyl-type gauge geometry based on gauging by GL(4, R) and presented in an earlier paper is developed from an alternative point of view, which emphasizes independent geometric objects as the building blocks. This approach avoids most of the elaborate calculations of the earlier paper, and thus contributes to an intuitive understanding. The new building blocks, which are the metric and two different affine connections, uniquely determine the tensorial structures of the earlier paper, and vice versa.

    Notes: We demonstrate that Bose systems can be used to simulate properties of their Fermi partners in thermal bath, provided the spectral property HB =PHBP +(1−P)HB(1−P), HF =PHBP can be proved in the state space of the Bose system. The approximation accuracy can be made arbitrarily good by varying the (free) coupling parameter λ∈(0,∞), and permits studying of fermionic partition or correlation functions in a finite volume by means of the standard techniques (Bose:path integral, Monte Carlo, etc).

    Notes: After showing that Rosen's bimetric theory of gravity is a harmonic map, the geometry of the ten-dimensional harmonic mapping space (HMS), and of its nine-dimensional symmetric submanifolds, which are the leaves of the codimension one foliation of the HMS, is detailed. Both structures are global affinely symmetric spaces. For each, the metric, connections, and Riemann, Ricci, and scalar curvatures are given. The Killing vectors in each case are also worked out and related to the "conserved quantities'' naturally associated with the harmonic mapping character of the theory. The structure of the Rosen HMS is very much like that determined by the DeWitt metric on the six-dimensional Wheeler superspace of all positive definite three-dimensional metrics. It is clear that a slight modification of the Rosen HMS metric will yield the corresponding metric on the space of all four-dimensional metrics of Lorentz signature. Finally, interesting avenues of further research are indicated, particularly with respect to the structure and comparison of Lagrangian-based gravitational theories which are similar to Einstein's general relativity.

    Notes: Using the ζ-function method, a prescription for the evaluation of fermion currents in the presence of background fields is given. The method preserves gauge invariance at each step of the computation and yields to a finite answer showing the relevant physical properties for arbitrary background configurations. Examples for n=2,3 dimensions are worked out, emphasizing the connection between preservation of gauge invariance and violation of other symmetries (chiral symmetry for n=2, parity for n=3).

    Notes: The boson basis for the fermion shell-model problem has been realized over a representation space Vn(n−1)/2 of the unitary group U(n(n−1)/2). A contraction of this space was found to yield the generator algebra of U(n). Based on this result it is shown that the transformations induced by the Dyson-mapped boson Hamiltonian on the Dyson boson basis are identical to the corresponding transformations by the fermion Hamiltonian on the shell-model basis.

    Notes: The concept of infinitesimal null isotropy is defined for a Lorentz manifold, in terms of null sectional curvature (as defined by Harris). It is shown that infinitesimal null isotropy is equivalent to infinitesimal spatial isotropy (as defined by Karcher), and that a null-isotropic space for which null sectional curvature is infinitesimally spatially constant must have a Robertson–Walker metric.

    Notes: A general formula is given for the canonical decomposition of a homogeneous polynomial of order λ in m variables into a sum of harmonic polynomials. This formula, which involves successive applications of the generalized Laplace operator, is proved in the Appendix. It is shown that the group-theoretical method for constructing irreducible Cartesian tensors follows from the general formula for canonical decomposition. The relationship between harmonic polynomials and hyperspherical harmonics is discussed, and an addition theorem for hyperspherical harmonics is derived. An expansion of a many-dimensional plane wave in terms of Gegenbauer polynomials and Bessel functions is derived and used to construct bicenter expansions of arbitrary functions in many-dimensional spaces. Finally, a formula is derived for the 3λ coefficients of hyperspherical harmonics. These coefficients give the values of integrals involving the products of three harmonics.

    Notes: The twistor encoding of the anti-self-dual Coulomb field is given in terms of the space-time connections pulled back to I+ and to I−. This description differs considerably from that of the twistor encoding of transverse or radiation fields, which have been the only fields studied in this fashion to date. A twisted structure results on I+ and a topologically incomputable one on I− and these are identified modulo the null lines intersecting the source world-line.

    Notes: The twistor encoding of the anti-self-dual Lienard–Wiechert field on Minkowski space-time yields a considerably richer structure than that of the Coulomb field encoding due to the presence of a nonzero radiation field. The combination of advanced and retarded transverse fields together with the longitudinal field and the individual aspects of these fields provides this structure. Higher-order longitudinal moments can be incorporated so that general longitudinal fields can be given a twistor description.

    Notes: We obtain a high-frequency asymptotic expansion of Newton's Marchenko equation for three-dimensional inverse scattering. We find that the inhomogeneous term contains the same high-frequency information as does the Born approximation. We show that recovery of the potential via Newton's Marchenko equation plus the "miracle'' depends on low-frequency information.

    Notes: Exact solutions to Fokker–Planck equations with nonlinear drift are considered. Applications of these exact solutions for concrete models are studied. We arrive at the conclusion that for certain drifts we obtain divergent moments (and infinite relaxation time) if the diffusion process can be extended without any obstacle to the whole space. But if we introduce a potential barrier that limits the diffusion process, moments converge with a finite relaxation time.

    Notes: In this paper we present a vector model for the electroweak interactions. The Cartan map gives an isomorphism between Dirac bispinors and an isotropic class of Yang–Mills vector fields. The isotropic Yang–Mills vector fields Fk =Ek +iHk with k=1,2,3, satisfy the condition that the matrix of scalar invariants (Fj ⋅Fk) equals a scalar multiple of the identity matrix. We show that all the bispinor observables commute with the Cartan isomorphism, including all gauge transformations, as well as Lorentz transformations. We derive the Yang–Mills equivalent Dirac equation. As a consequence of the vector model, we obtain a new Lagrangian for electroweak interactions, which is an alternative to the Weinberg–Salam Lagrangian. Moreover, we show that the vector model predicts that the Weinberg angle θw satisfies sin2 θw =0.25, which is close to the measured value of sin2 θw =0.23. The vector model accommodates all the lepton and quark flavors. Furthermore, it predicts the conservation of baryon number and lepton number, as well as electric charge in electroweak interactions. The vector model also gives a new interpretation to antiparticles. In the vector model, an antiparticle is characterized by its opposite baryon number, lepton number, and electric charge; yet both particles and antiparticles propagate forward in time with positive energies.

    Notes: The crystallographic groups play an important role in solid state physics, where their representations are of particular interest. In this paper we classify the kernels of all possible representations by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions for a subgroup H of a crystallographic group G to be invariant. The structure of G/H is also discussed. A list of the one- and two-dimensional invariant subgroups of the two-dimensional crystallographic groups is appended as Table I; it includes the structural features of these subgroups needed for determining their settings, relative to the parent groups, and identifies the corresponding images. Table II is a list of the commutator subgroups of the two-dimensional groups.

    Notes: In this paper we calculate exactly the lineshape for a model of an excited two-level atom in interaction with a continuous spectrum of radiation for the problem of spontaneous emission. Specifically, for the case of a d=1 radiation field, we use the exact results reported in our earlier work [J. Math. Phys. 14, 414, 423 (1973)] for the probability ρ(τ) of the atom's being in the excited state at time τ to obtain an analytic expression for the lineshape of the emitted radiation (i.e., the photon). We also calculate the lineshape using two Wigner–Weisskopf style approximations and the results, for a given choice of coupling function, are compared numerically with the profile generated using the exact solution. These comparisons show convincingly the success with which these two approximations can be expected to reproduce the qualitative and quantitative features of the exact lineshape for values of the coupling constant α ranging between 0.01 and 0.3. Finally, we calculate explicitly the scattering operator corresponding to the above spontaneous emission problem and work out exactly the probability of forward and backward scattering of a photon by the atom at and away from resonance.

    Notes: Self-dual Einstein spaces are shown to admit an infinite hierarchy of conservation laws, and this hierarchy is then used to derive a formal version of Penrose's twistor construction. The set of formal holomorphic bundles of fiber dimension 2 over the Riemann sphere P1 is shown to form a formal infinite group which is used to derive nonlinear superposition principles. As an example of our methods a new self-dual Einstein space is obtained as the result of a "collision'' of complex pp-waves "traveling in opposite directions.''

    Notes: The Fourier transform of an irreducible spherical tensor is normally computed with the help of the Rayleigh expansion of a plane wave in terms of spherical Bessel functions and spherical harmonics. The angular integrations are then trivial. However, the remaining radial integral containing a spherical Bessel function may be so complicated that the applicability of Fourier transformation is severely restricted. As an alternative, the use of weakly convergent expansions of a plane wave in terms of complete orthonormal sets of functions is suggested. The weakly convergent expansions of a plane wave are constructed in such a way that their application in Fourier integrals leads to expansions of the Fourier or inverse Fourier transform that converge with respect to the norm of either the Hilbert space L2(R3) or the Sobolev space W(1)2(R3). Accordingly, these weakly convergent expansions may be viewed as distributions that are defined on either L2(R3) or W(1)2(R3). The properties of some complete orthonormal sets of functions, in particular their Fourier transforms, are also studied. Shibuya and Wulfman [Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 286, 376 (1965)] derived an expansion of a plane wave involving the four-dimensional spherical harmonics. It is shown that this Shibuya–Wulfman expansion is also a distribution which is defined on the Sobolev space W(1)2(R3). Finally, as an application it is shown how weakly convergent expansions can be used profitably for the construction of addition theorems.

    Notes: The structure of the local Lie groups of symmetries of some partial differential equations of the Fokker–Planck type in one space dimension is investigated. A connection between these groups and the group SL2(R) is established in the sense that they are all shown to be locally isomorphic to SL2(R)A, where A is the radical. It is conjectured that the groups of Lie symmetries of all Fokker–Planck equations in one space dimension have this structure. The notion of partial invariance, due to Ovsiannikov, is applied to the equations studied. It appears plausible that the class of partially invariant solutions of these equations is larger than the class of invariant solutions although no explicit demonstration of this claim is available at present.

    Notes: A method for extrapolating perturbative power series to infinity is described. It is a Borel partial resummation stabilized by a variational parameter. Two kinds of series relative to the anharmonic oscillators ||x||k, k〉0, are extrapolated in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the method: the Rayleigh–Schrödinger series, on the one hand, which, after extrapolation, provides the strong coupling expansion of the energy levels, and their lattice expansion, on the other hand, from which is extracted the continuum limit.

    Notes: The integrability of a two-dimensional Hamiltonian in which the potential depends explicitly on the momenta is investigated. Hamiltonians of this kind are encountered in the description of the motion of a particle in a magnetic field. Two integrable classes of potentials are identified and the second integral of motion is constructed for each of them. The singularity analysis of the equations of motion is also performed, confirming once more the relation between the (weak) Painlevé property and integrability.

Low-energy expansions are derived for the scattering amplitude in the different cases. The Coulomb-modified scattering length and effective range parameter are defined directly in terms of the scattering amplitude. Explicit formulas for these quantities are provided. No spherical symmetry of the interaction is assumed.

    Notes: A fairly complete perturbation theoretical solution of the Schrödinger equation around a classical periodic orbit is given as an example demonstrating the quantization of a system with many degrees of freedom by the method of collective coordinates. In particular, explicit expressions are derived for the creation and annihilation operators of quantum fluctuations orthogonal to the classical path, as well as the corresponding eigenfunctions, in both the adiabatic and nonadiabatic domains. It is also shown that corresponding expressions become proportional (and thus can be linked) in domains where they overlap. Finally the splitting of asymptotically degenerate states, and hence the band structure of the resulting spectrum, is calculated.

    Notes: We write down standard gauge field theory in a basis-independent manner using the ideas of moving frames (fiber bundles). Then we describe the construction of frames for gauging parafields. To do this (frames) bases for fields are replaced by Clifford matrices. These matrices are in one-to-one correspondence with the number of spinor components. We briefly examine the objects upon which they can act (through matrix multiplication on the left). These objects bear the same relations to spinors that spinors do to vectors. Finally, we show how to construct a set of inner products for the parabases that yield the same action and n-point functions as in the standard field theory.

The most natural definition of the quantum numbers p and q includes not only integers but also nonintegers of the class (1)/(3) and (2)/(3) modulo 1. Some relevant features relating to symmetry and degeneracy are also discussed.

    Notes: For fermions in curved space-time, where i(h-dash-bar)ψ° is no longer the canonical conjugate of ψ, canonical quantization according to Dirac requires use of "modified'' graded commutation relations, in which the canonical conjugates to the tetrad field components are no longer commutative with each other or with the fermion field. As shown earlier by the DeWitts, these modified commutation relations may be understood as a canonical quantization of new field variables that can conventionally be interpreted in terms of creation and annihilation operators. Because of the horrible transformation properties of these new variables, covariance of this quantization of fermion fields and of the gravitational field with which the fermions interact is best proved in terms of the old variables. Like canonical quantization, also this modified quantization requires alteration of the theory destroying general invariance of the Lagrangian. As discussed in a preceding paper, covariance of this modified quantization under a group of finite transformations will follow, under the conditions that (1) it can be proved for a generator T1, linear in infinitesimal descriptors of the transformations, that by these modified commutation relations it will generate the substantial variations of the canonical field variables, while (2) the second-order generator T12, constructed from T1 as previously discussed, will be conserved and invariant. It is here proved that these two conditions are satisfied, provided that the transformations leave the Lagrangian function L invariant. This restriction limits the proof of covariance of quantization to affine transformations only. It is discussed why this yet leaves the possibility of general covariance of the "physical part'' of this quantization procedure.

    Notes: The kinematical and dynamical properties of one-component collision-free gases in spatially homogeneous, locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) space-times are analyzed. Following Ray and Zimmerman [Nuovo Cimento B 42, 183 (1977)], it is assumed that the distribution function f of the gas inherits the symmetry of space-time, in order to construct solutions of Liouville's equation. The redundancy of their further assumption that f be based on Killing vector constants of the motion is shown. The Ray and Zimmerman results for Kantowski–Sachs space-time are extended to all spatially homogeneous LRS space-times. It is shown that in all these space-times the kinematic average four-velocity ui can be tilted relative to the homogeneous hypersurfaces. This differs from the perfect fluid case, in which only one space-time admits tilted ui, as shown by King and Ellis [Commun. Math. Phys. 31, 209 (1973)]. As a consequence, it is shown that all space-times admit nonzero acceleration and heat flow, while a subclass admits nonzero vorticity. The stress πij is proportional to the shear σij by virtue of the invariance of the distribution function. The evolution of tilt and the existence of perfect fluid solutions is also discussed.

    Notes: Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for space-time to admit a spacelike conformal motion with symmetry vector parallel to a unit spacelike vector field na. These conditions are expressed in terms of the shear and expansion of the spacelike congruence generated by na and in terms of the four-velocity of the observer employed at any given point of the congruence. It is shown that either the expansion or the rotation of this spacelike congruence must vanish if Dna/dp =0, where p denotes arc length measured along the integral curves of na, and also that there exist no proper spacelike homothetic motions with constant expansion. Propagation equations for the projection tensor and the rotation tensor are derived and it is proved that every isometric spacelike congruence is rigid. Fluid space-times are studied in detail. A relation is established between spacelike conformal motions and material curves in the fluid: if a fluid space-time admits a spacelike conformal Killing vector parallel to na and naua =0, where ua is the fluid four-velocity, then the integral curves of na are material curves in an irrotational fluid, while if the fluid vorticity is nonzero, then the integral curves of na are material curves if and only if they are vortex lines. An alternative derivation, based on the theory of spacelike congruences, of some of the results of Collins [J. Math. Phys. 25, 995 (1984)] on conformal Killing vectors parallel to the local vorticity vector in shear-free perfect fluids with zero magnetic Weyl tensor is given. The necessary and sufficient condition for vortex lines to be material lines is derived and the restriction this places on the flow of a thermodynamical perfect fluid is determined. As an application, a pure magnetic field in a rotational fluid is considered and results similar in nature to Ferraro's law of isorotation are obtained. Throughout, corresponding results for a timelike conformal motion and for Newtonian theory are given for comparison.

    Notes: A space of supertwistors is introduced as a graded vector space by starting with ordinary twistor space multiplied with even Grassmann coefficients and combining it by an othogonal direct sum with a one-dimensional space multiplied with odd Grassmann coefficients. A treatment of the algebraic properties of supertwistor space and of Grassmann-linear transformations on this space lead to a systematic procedure for deriving the structure equations for the graded Lie algebra su (2,2/1).

    Notes: A gauge theory of supergravity which allows one to obtain first-order Lagrangians that are locally gauge invariant by construction is presented. The formalism makes use of supertwistors as a representation space for the construction of a typical fiber of a vector bundle associated with a principal bundle, where the structural group is the super-Poincaré group. The approach proposed provides a means of resolving one of the central problems of gauge field theories of external symmetry groups, that is the satisfactory treatment of translations.

    Notes: Binegar et al. recently developed de Sitter QED within the frame of a particular gauge fixing c= (2)/(3) . Such a choice leads to the simplest possible structure of the Gupta–Bleuler triplets, with the SO(3,2) representations D(3,0) and D(1,1) appearing to describe special gauge solutions. The present work examines the general case c≠ (2)/(3) by considering explicitly the corresponding homogeneous propagators and some fundamental carrier states for the related indecomposable representations of SO(3,2). The latter expressions involve "logarithmic'' gauge states which independently carry extensions of the D(3,0) and D(1,1) Lie algebra representations.

    Notes: We consider Schrödinger operators H in L2(Rn), n ∈ N, with countably infinitely many local singularities of the potential which are separated from each other by a positive distance. It is proved that due to locality each singularity yields a separate contribution to the deficiency index of H. In the special case where the singularities are pointlike and the potential exhibits certain symmetries near these points we give an explicit construction of self-adjoint boundary conditions.

    Notes: It is shown that the dynamics of an N-level quantum system driven by a classical radiation field can be derived rigorously from an associated fully quantum-mechanical model with the help of an asymptotic limit. By formally expanding the full quantum dynamics around the semiclassical limit, quantum corrections to the semiclassical description are systematically constructed. The observables describing these corrections are shown to exist in any order, and explicit expressions for their time dependence are given.

    Notes: Though the electron possesses an anomalous magnetic moment, this term has so far been treated by perturbation methods only. Here this rather singular term is treated nonperturbatively. For a general and large class of spherical potentials it is shown that the Hamiltonian is essentially self-adjoint. If the potentials vanish at infinity the essential spectrum is R(backward-slash)(−m,m). These results hold for all, also strong, Coulomb-type potentials. We further establish that the eigenvalues for such Hamiltonians are stable and can be computed by a low-order perturbation theory, if l≥3. The above results can also be extended to multicenter potentials.

    Notes: Two senses in which the perturbation equations of general relativity can be misleading are explored. (i) Under certain circumstances there exist solutions of the perturbation equations that appear to be gauge, in that the metric perturbation is the symmetrized derivative of a vector field, but which nonetheless are not true gauge. (ii) Under certain circumstances there exist solutions of the perturbation equations that cannot, even locally, be extended to higher order in perturbation theory. The latter is a local version of the well-known phenomenon of "linearization instability.''

It is discussed how these expectation values, obtained for finite systems and three kinds of ensembles (smallest stationary, microcanonical, and canonical), behave as the size of the system increases (thermodynamic limit).

    Notes: We investigate one-dimensional chaotic configurations of atoms, which are generated by the Baker transformation or, equivalently, by the Bernoulli shift. The problem of calculating the distribution of the jth nearest-neighbor distances of these configurations is shown to be equivalent to the task of finding the limit distribution of the sum of the strongly dependent random variables Xl:([0,1),μL)→[0,1), x→(2lx)mod 1 (l∈N0, μL is the Lebesgue measure). We prove the validity of a local limit theorem for this sequence of random variables and conclude, therefore, that the distribution density Gj of the jth nearest-neighbor distances is asymptotically (as j→∞) a Gaussian distribution, the width of which grows as (j)1/2. With the aid of this result, we prove that the pair distribution function G of our configurations, which is the sum of the Gj's, tends to unity in the limit of large distances.

The Green's function is the unique solution of the resolvent equation, which has an A-proper kernel allowing projector methods for its solution.

    Notes: Recursion formulas on the numbers of ways for placing an arbitrary number of indistinguishable dumbbells on the various rectangular lattice spaces (3×n, 4×n) and torus spaces (2×n, 3×n, 2×2×n) were obtained by the use of the operator technique to the counting polynomial on the topological characteristics (e.g., nonadjacent number, Kekulé number, and topological index). Perfect matching numbers or Kekulé numbers were also obtained for larger lattices such as the 4×n torus and the 2×3×n lattice. By deriving these new results the utility of the proposed method for dimer statistics is demonstrated and some of their mathematical features are discussed.

    Notes: The concept of homogeneity for a gauge field is introduced as an appropriate geometrical interpretation of the symmetric properties of the gauge field relative to a group of space-time transformations. It is more general than the formulation in terms of an invariant connection, as illustrated by an example on translational symmetries. Sufficient conditions are given for invariance to be equivalent to homogeneity. Both finite and infinitesimal symmetries are treated.

    Notes: The solution of the exact, nonlinear one-dimensional Vlasov equation with a space- and time-dependent electric field is reduced to the solution of a nonlinear, first-order ordinary differential equation with two subsidiary equations. The reduction holds for any electric field nonlinear in the spatial coordinate or for a subclass of electric fields linear in the spatial coordinate and is equivalent to the solution of a generalized Bernstein–Greene–Kruskal (BGK) Vlasov equation with a velocity-dependent Lorentz force. The Lie method for the solution of differential equations invariant under a transformation group has been used to calculate the group generator, the canonical variables, and the generalized BGK Vlasov equation. Analytical forms for the functional dependence of the Vlasov equation one-particle distribution function are given.

    Notes: Chandrasekhar's technique for separation of the Dirac equation in the Kerr background is applied to perfect fluid space-times with local rotational symmetry. These space-times fall into three distinct types. It is found that in case (1) the Dirac equation separates if the space-time is at least "locally static'' while in case (3) it separates if the space-time is at least "locally diagonal,'' in contrast to the massless case where Dhurandhar, Vishveshwara, and Cohen showed that the Hertz potential is separable in all cases. In case (2), however, the Dirac equation is separable in all those cases where the Hertz potential for neutrinos is separable.

Under certain conditions there is only one weak*-limit point. As applications, the BCS model and a spin system with cosine interaction are studied.

    Notes: The decoupling theorem of quantum field theory is studied in Minkowski space for theories which on experimental grounds may contain particles with vanishingly small masses. Rules are set up to prove the distributional vanishing property of the renormalized amplitudes when any subset of the underlying masses is scaled to infinity, and any subset of the remaining masses is scaled to zero. By careful estimates, the analysis in Minkowski space may be reduced to a similar one in Euclidean space. All subtractions of renormalization are carried out at the origin of momentum space with the degree of divergence of a subtraction coinciding with the dimensionality of the corresponding subdiagram.

    Notes: We review and apply the method of Lagrangian dynamics to particle motion in higher-dimensional spaces. We discuss in detail the case of a Kaluza–Klein theory with coset spaces as fiber. While the total metric we use in general need not allow for Killing vectors, we require that the restriction to the fiber does. We find that for general Jordan–Thiry scalar fields, the geodesic motion in total space is not describable in terms of particle motion in the base manifold with the usual internal charges. The cases when this is possible are discussed. We also consider the geodesic motion in the Sorkin–Gross–Perry Kaluza–Klein monopoles. We find all the conserved quantities and the equations can be integrated by quadrature.

    Notes: A result of Madivanane on "quasianticommuting'' complex square matrices, which are roots of the identity matrix, is generalized to linear operators on infinite-dimensional complex vector spaces. A constant which appears in the result is shown to be nonzero by giving a simple formula for its absolute value. Also, a simple formula for the constant itself is given, which is valid for some cases.

    Notes: The nontrivial zeros of weight 1 3j and 6j coefficients given previously are shown to be the set of all such zeros. The relation of these zeros to the solutions of well-known Diophantine equations is also discussed.

    Notes: It is suggested to transform a class of nonlinear differential equations with a holomorphic type of nonlinearity into linear integrodifferential equations. The method is presented in detail for first-order ordinary differential equations. The transformed equation is studied and is found to have a unique solution with an analytical representation. In a numerical test calculation rapid convergence of an approximate solution of the linearized equation towards the reference solution is found. The method can be applied to higher-order ordinary and partial differential equations. The transformation can be generalized also to operator-valued differential equations.

    Notes: In this paper we construct a class of integrable Hamiltonian nonlinear evolution equations generated by a purely differential recursion operator. It turns out that this hierarchy is a complex version of the Burgers hierarchy and can be linearized through a generalization of the Cole–Hopf transformation.

    Notes: If a d-dimensional integral involves an integrand of the functional form F( f1(x1)+f2(x2)+⋅⋅⋅), then one can introduce an integral transform (Fourier or Laplace or variants on those) which allows all the integrals over the coordinates xi to factor. Thus a d-dimensional integral is reduced to a one-dimensional integral over the transform variable. This is shown to be a very powerful and practical numerical approach to a number of problems of interest. Among the examples studied is the computation of the volume of phase space for an arbitrary collection of relativistic particles. One important aspect of the approach involves numerical integration along various contours in the complex plane.

    Notes: We approximate the energy levels of the anharmonic oscillator with any coupling constant by eigenvalues λj( g,T) of the operator −d2/dx2+x2+gVT(x) with VT(x) =x4 when ||x||≤T and VT(x) =T4 when ||x||〉T. The functions λj( g,T) are holomorphic with respect to g in a neighborhood of the non-negative half-axis. The conformal transformation maps this neighborhood onto the unit circle of the complex plane. It gives the summation method for the Rayleigh–Schrödinger series for every g≥0.

    Notes: We consider a system in three space dimensions consisting of a finite number of oscillators with a nonlinear interaction. Using projectors on N-particle subspaces of the Fock space, we show that the time evolution operator is strongly approximatable by exponentials of self-adjoint finite-rank operators (finite-dimensional Hermitian matrices), which can easily be calculated in the corresponding eigenrepresentation.

    Notes: Let L and L0 be a simple Lie algebra and its sub-Lie algebra, respectively. Then, a given irreducible representation ω of L decomposes into a direct sum of irreducible components of L0, which is called the branching rule. The general Dynkin indices introduced earlier satisfy many sum rules for the branching rule. These are found to be strong enough to uniquely determine the branching rule for many cases we have studied. The sum rules are especially useful for cases of exceptional Lie algebras.

    Notes: Holstein and Primakoff derived long ago the boson realization of a su(2) Lie algebra for an arbitrary irreducible representation (irrep) of the SU(2) group. The corresponding result for su(1,1)≅sp(2) is also well known. This raises the question of whether it is possible to obtain in an explicit, analytic, and closed form, and for any integer d, the boson realization of a sp(2d) Lie algebra for an arbitrary irrep of the Sp(2d) group, which is a problem of considerable physical interest. The case d=2 already illustrates the problem in its full generality and thus in this paper we concentrate on sp(4). The Dyson realization is well known, and the passage to bosons satisfying the appropriate Hermiticity conditions can be done by a similarity transformation through an operator K. What we want, though, is an explicit boson realization for sp(2d) similar to the one that exists for sp(2). In Sec. VI we show how we can get it for sp(4) if the operator K is known. Unfortunately while the matrix form of K2 can be explicitly derived from definite recursion relations, the same cannot be said of K as it involves, in general, the solution of algebraic equations of high degree. Thus the conclusion, corroborated also by a classical analysis where K does not appear, is that an explicit, analytic, and closed boson realization of sp(4), and thus also of sp(2d), is only possible for particular irreps of the corresponding groups.
