Bogoliubov's Foresight and Development of the ModernTheoretical Physics

 

A. L. Kuzemsky  

 

 

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

A brief survey of the author's works on the fundamental conceptual ideas of quantum statistical physics developed by N. N. Bogoliubov and his school was given. The development and applications of the method  of quasiaverages  to quantum statistical physics and condensed matter physics  were  analyzed. The relationship with the concepts of broken symmetry, quantum protectorate and emergence was examined, and the progress to date towards unified understanding of complex many-particle systems was summarized. Current trends for extending and using these ideas in quantum field theory and condensed matter physics were discussed, including microscopic theory of superfluidity and superconductivity, quantum theory of magnetism of complex materials, Bose-Einstein condensation, chirality of molecules, etc.

Converting Divergent Weak-Coupling  into Exponentially Fast Convergent Strong-Coupling Expansions

 

Hagen Kleinert

 

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

 

With the help of a simple variational procedure it is possible to convert the partial sums of order N of many divergent series expansions f(g)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n g^n into partial sums \sum_{n=0}^N b_n g^{- \omega n}, where 0<\omega<1 is a parameter that parametrizes the approach to the large-g limit. The latter are partial sums of a strong-coupling expansion of f(g) which converge against f(g) for $g$ {\em outside\/} a certain divergence radius. The error decreases exponentially fast for large N, like e^{-{\rm const.}\times N^{1-\omega}}. We present a review of the method and various applications.

Hubbard-Stratonovich Transformation:Successes, Failure,  and Cure

 

 Hagen Kleinert

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

 

We recall the successes of the Hubbard-Stratonovich Transformation (HST) of many-body theory, point out its failure to cope with competing channels of collective phenomena and show how to overcome this by Variational Perturbation Theory. That yields exponentially fast converging results, thanks to the help  of a variety of collective classical fields,  rather than a fluctuating collective quantum field as suggested by the HST.

A Clarification on the Debate on ``the Original Schwarzschild Solution''

 

Christian Corda

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

Now that English translations of Schwarzschild's original paper exist, that paper has become accessible to more people. Historically, the so-called standard Schwarzschild solution\char` was not the original Schwarzschild's work, but it is actually due to J. Droste and, independently, H. Weyl, while it has been ultimately enabled like correct solution by D. Hilbert. Based on this, there are authors who claim that the work of Hilbert was wrong and that Hilbert's mistake spawned black-holes and the community of theoretical physicists continues to elaborate on this falsehood, with a hostile shouting down of any and all voices challenging them. In this paper we re-analyse the original Schwarzschild solution\char` and we show that it is totally equivalent to the solution enabled by Hilbert. Thus, the authors who claim that the original Schwarzschild solution implies the non existence of black holes give the wrong answer. We realize that the misunderstanding is due to an erroneous interpretation of the different coordinates. In fact, arches of circumference appear to follow the law dl=rd\varphi, if the origin of the coordinate system is a non-dimensional material point in the core of the black-hole, while they do not appear to follow such a law, but to be deformed by the presence of the mass of the central body M if the origin of the coordinate system is the surface of the Schwarzschild sphere.

Entropy for Black Holes in the Deformed Horava-Lifshitz Gravity

 

Andres Castillo and Alexis Larra

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

We study the entropy of black holes in the deformed Horava-Lifshitz gravity with coupling constant \lambda. For \lambda=1, the black hole resembles the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole with a geometric parameter acting like the electric charge. Therefore, we obtain some differences in the entropy when comparing with the Schwarzschild black hole. Finally, we study the heat capacity and the thermodynamical stability of this solution.

Canonical Relational Quantum Mechanics from Information Theory

 

Joakim Munkhammar

 

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

In this paper we construct a theory of quantum mechanics based on Shannon information theory. We define a few principles regarding information-based frames of reference, including explicitly the concept of information covariance, and show how an ensemble of all possible physical states can be setup on the basis of the accessible information in the local frame of reference. In the next step the Bayesian principle of maximum entropy is utilized in order to constrain the dynamics. We then show, with the aid of Lisi's universal action reservoir approach, that the dynamics is equivalent to that of quantum mechanics. Thereby we show that quantum mechanics emerges when classical physics is subject to incomplete information. We also show that the proposed theory is relational and that it in fact is a path integral version of Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics. Furthermore we give a discussion on the relation between the proposed theory and quantum mechanics, in particular the role of observation and correspondence to classical physics is addressed. In addition to this we derive a general form of entropy associated with the information covariance of the local reference frame. Finally we give a discussion and some open problems.

On the Logical Origins of Quantum Mechanics Demonstrated By Using Clifford Algebra: A Proof that Quantum Interference Arises in a Clifford Algebraic Formulation of Quantum Mechanics

 

Elio Conte

 

 

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

We review a rough scheme of quantum mechanics using the Clifford algebra. Following the steps previously published in a paper by another author [31], we demonstrate that quantum interference arises in a Clifford algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics. In 1932 J. von Neumann showed that projection operators and, in particular, quantum density matrices can be interpreted as logical statements. In accord with a previously obtained result by V. F Orlov , in this paper we invert von Neumann's result. Instead of constructing logic from quantum mechanics , we construct quantum mechanics from an extended classical logic. It follows that the origins of the two most fundamental quantum phenomena , the indeterminism and the interference of probabilities, lie not in the traditional physics by itself but in the logical structure as realized here by the Clifford algebra.

The Ewald-Oseen Extinction Theorem in the Light of Huygens' Principle

 

Peter Enders

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

 

The Ewald-Oseen extinction theorem states, that, inside a linear medium, the incident electromagnetic wave is extinguished by its interference with a part of the irradiation from the excited surface of the medium. This contradicts Huygens' principle, according to which the incident wave is absent after having excited the sources of the secondary wavelets. In this contribution, the proof in Born & Wolf, Optics, is analyzed.

Market Fluctuations -- the Thermodynamics Approach

 

 S. Prabakaran

 

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

A thermodynamic analogy in economics is older than the idea of von Neumann to look for market entropy in liquidity, advice that was not taken in any thermodynamic analogy presented so far in the literature. In this paper, we go further and use a standard approach in market fluctuation and develop a set of equations which are a simple model for market fluctuation in a hypothetical financial market.In the past decade or so, physicists have begun to do academic research in economics. Perhaps people are now actively involved in an emerging field often called Econophysics. The scope of this paper is to present a phenomenological analysis for Market Fluctuations through Thermodynamics approach The main ambition of this study is fourfold:

1) First we begin our description with how market parameters vary with time by using of simplest example. 2) To extend that the market fluctuations appears with the enforced changes of macro parameters of the market and land speculations with non existence.

3) Next we derived the equation for how market fluctuates with respect to time in an equilibrium state.

4) Finally we analyze the how the fluctuations affects the perceptions of the market agents on the future. And this paper end with conclusion.

Magnetized Bianchi Type VI_{0} Bulk Viscous Barotropic Massive String Universe with Decaying Vacuum Energy Density \Lambda

 

Anirudh Pradhan  and Suman Lata

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

Bianchi type VI_{0} bulk viscous massive string cosmological models using the technique given by Letelier (1983) with magnetic field are investigated. To get the deterministic models, we assume that the expansion (\theta) in the model is proportional to the shear ($\sigma$) and also the fluid obeys the barotropic equation of state. The viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density. The value of the vacuum energy density \Lambda is observed to be small and positive at late time which is supported from recent supernovae Ia observations. The behaviour of the models from physical and geometrical aspects in presence and absence of magnetic field is also discussed.

Physical Vacuum as the Source of Standard\\ Model Particle Masses

 

C. Quimbay and J. Morales

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

We present an approach of mass generation for Standard Model particles in which fermions acquire masses from their interactions with physical vacuum and gauge bosons acquire masses from charge fluctuations of vacuum. A remarkable fact of this approach is that left-handed neutrinos are massive because they have a weak charge. We obtain consistently masses of electroweak gauge bosons in terms of fermion masses and running coupling constants of strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions. On the last part of this work we focus our interest to present some consequences of this approach as for instance we first show a restriction about the possible number of fermion families. Next we establish a prediction for top quark mass and finally fix the highest limit for the summing of the square of neutrino masses.

Quantum Mechanics as Asymptotics of Solutions of Generalized Kramers Equation

 

E. M. Beniaminov

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

We consider the process of diffusion scattering of a wave function given on the phase space. In this process the heat diffusion is considered only along momenta. We write down the modified Kramers equation describing this situation. In this model, the usual quantum description arises as asymptotics of this process for large values of resistance of the medium per unit of mass of particle. It is shown that in this case the process passes several stages. During the first short stage, the wave function goes to one of ``stationary'' values. At the second long stage, the wave function varies in the subspace of ``stationary'' states according to the Schrodinger equation. Further, dissipation of the process leads to decoherence, and any superposition of states goes to one of eigenstates of the Hamilton operator. At the last stage, the mixed state of heat equilibrium (the Gibbs state) arises due to the heat influence of the medium and the random transitions among the eigenstates of the Hamilton operator. Besides that, it is shown that, on the contrary, if the resistance of the medium per unit of mass of particle is small, then in the considered model, the density of distribution of probability \rho =|\varphi |^2 satisfies the standard Liouville equation, as in classical statistical mechanics.

Subha Gaurab Roy Raghunandan Das Joydeep Choudhury Nirmal Kumar Sarkar and Ramendu Bhattacharjee

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

 

Exactly solvable quantum mechanical potentials have attracted much attention since the early days of quantum mechanics and the Schr?ger equation has been solved for a large number of potentials by employing a variety of methods. Here we consider a specific realization of SU(1,1) algebra and use it to describe the bound states of P\"{o}schl-Teller potential without solving the Schr?ger equation for the mentioned potential.

Akpan N. Ikot Louis E. Akpabio and Edet J. Uwah

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

An approximate solution of the Klein--Gordon equation for the Hulth?potential with equal scalar and vector potential is presented. Using the new improved approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term, we solve approximately the Klein--Gordon equation via the Nikiforov?Uvarov method for an arbitrary angular momentum quantum number. The corresponding eigen -- energy and eigen functions are also obtained for the s-wave bound state.

Nasr-eddine Hamri and Tarek Houmor

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

The dynamic behaviors in the fractional-order nonlinear Bloch equations were numerically studied. Basic properties of the system have been analyzed by means of Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams. The derivative order range used was relatively broad. Regular motions (including period-3 motion) and chaotic motions were examined. The chaotic motion identified was validated by the positive Lyapunov exponent.

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

 

In this paper we propose the study of synchronization between two different chaotic fractional-order systems via approached auxiliary system, we choose the modified Chua oscillators as a master system and the modified Van der Pol-Duffing oscillator (MVDPD) as a slave system, this method is also detected for both well known systems Chen and Lu. Routh- Hurwitz criterion is used for the study of stability of error system between the master-slave systems. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.

Schwinger Mechanism for Quark-Antiquark Production in the Presence of Arbitrary Time Dependent Chromo-Electric Field

 

Gouranga C. Nayak

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

We study the Schwinger mechanism in QCD in the presence of an arbitrary time-dependent chromo-electric background field E^a(t) with arbitrary color index a=1,2,...8 in SU(3).We obtain an exact result for the non-perturbative quark (antiquark) production from an arbitrary E^a(t) by directly evaluating the path integral. We find that the exact result is independent of all the time derivatives \frac{d^nE^a(t)}{dt^n} where n=1,2,...\infty. This result has the same functional dependence on two Casimir invariants $[E^a(t)E^a(t)]$ and [d_{abc}E^a(t)E^b(t)E^c(t)]^2 as the constant chromo-electric field $E^a$ result with the replacement: E^a \rightarrow E^a(t). This result relies crucially on the validity of the shift conjecture, which has not yet been established.

C-field Barotropic Fluid Cosmological Model with Variable G in FRW space-time

 

Raj Bali and Meghna Kumawat

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

C-field cosmological model with variable G for barotropic perfect fluid distribution in flat FRW (Friedmann-Robertson-Walker) space-time is investigated. To get the deterministic model of the universe, we assume that G = R^{n} where R is scale factor and n is a constant. We find that the creation field (C) increases with time, G and \rho (matter density) decreases with time and \frac{\dot {G}}{G}={H(t)} where H is the Hubble parameter. These results match with the observations.

K. S. Adhav S. M. Borikar, M. S. Desale, and R. B. Raut

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

In this paper we have studied anisotropic, homogeneous two-fluid cosmological models in a Bianchi type III space-time. Here one fluid represents the matter content of the universe and another fluid is chosen to model the CMB radiation. These cosmological models depict two different scenarios of cosmic history i.e. one when the radiation and matter content of the universe are in interactive phase and another when the two are in non-interacting phase.

Shell Closures and Structural Information from Nucleon Separation Energies

 

 C. Anu Radha V. Ramasubramanian and E. James Jebaseelan Samuel

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

In this work nuclei along N=Z line are of interest as transitions from spherical to deformed shapes are expected to occur when going across the medium mass region. In this respect a strong sudden shape transition between deformation is predicted to occur in the region N=Z as well as N$>$Z nuclei. New shell gaps are predicted using nucleon and two-nucleon separation energies and the shape evaluation are depicted by applying triaxially deformed cranked Nilsson Strutinsky calculations. Nucleon separation energy plays a major role in the prediction of new magicity in the proton and neutron drip line nuclei.

Calculating Vacuum Energy as a Possible Explanation of the Dark Energy

 

B. Pan

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF  

 

We carried out a study of the properties of the \lambda \phi^4 field solutions. By constructing Gaussian wave packets to calculate the $S$ matrix, we show that the probability of the vacuum unbroken state transfers to the broken state is about 10^{-52}. After adding this probability restriction condition as modulation factor in the summation of vacuum energy, we thus get a result that the vacuum energy density is about 10^{-47}GeV^4, which is exact same as the observed dark energy density value, and maybe served as a possible explanation of the dark energy. Also our result shows that the vacuum energy density is proportional to the square of the universe's age, which fits the Dirac large numbers hypothesis.

Some Bianchi type-I Cosmic Strings in a Scalar --Tensor Theory of Gravitation

 

R.Venkateswarlu, J.Satish and K.Pavan Kumar

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

The field equations are obtained in Sen--Dunn theory of gravitation with the help of LRS Bainchi type-I in the context of cosmic strings. We have solved the field equations when the shear \sigma  is proportional to the scalar expansion \ theta. It is found that the cosmic do not exist with the scalar field except for some special cases and hence vacuum solutions are presented and discussed.

Gravitons Writ Large; I.E. Stability, Contributions to Early Arrow of Time, and Also Their Possible Role in Re Acceleration of the Universe 1 Billion Years Ago?

 

A. Beckwith

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

This document is due to a question by Debasish of the Saha institute of India asked in the Dark Side of the Universe conference, 2010, in Leon, Mexico, and also is connected with issues as to the initial configuration of the arrow of time brought up in both Rudn 10, in Rencontres de Blois, and Fundamental Frontiers of Physics 11, in Paris, in July 2010. Further reference is made as to how to reconcile early inflation with re acceleration, partly by dimensional analysis and partly due to recounting a suggestion as by Yurov, which the author thinks has merit and which ties into, to a point with using massive gravitons as a re acceleration of the universe a billion years ago enabler, as perhaps a variant of DE.

Dimensionless Constants and Blackbody Radiation Laws

 

Ke Xiao

 

Full text: Acrobat PDF

 

The fine structure constant \alpha= {e}^{2}/\hbar c\approx1/137.036 and the blackbody radiation  constant \alpha_{R}={e}^{2}(a_{R}/k_{B}^{4})^{1/3} \approx1/157.555 are two dimensionless constants, derived respectively from a  discrete  atomic spectra and a continuous  radiation spectra and linked by an infinite prime product. The blackbody radiation constant governs large density matter where oscillating charges emit or absorb photons that obey the Bose-Einstein statistics. The new derivations of Planck's law, the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and Wein's displacement law are based on the fine structure constant and a simple 3D interface model. The blackbody radiation constant provides a new method to measure the fine structure constant and links the fine structure constant to the Boltzmann constant.
