It was introduced in 1995 [see \cite{BachFrohlichSigal1995}, \cite{BachFrohlichSigal1998}] and since then it has been used to prove several results for non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. After the introduction of the method there have been many works in which extensions, simplifications or clarifications are presented (see \cite{BachChenFrohlichSigal2003}, \cite{GriesemerHasler2008}, \cite{FrohlichGriesemerSigal2009}). In this paper we present a new approach in which we construct a flow of operators parametrized by a continuous variable in the positive real axis. While this is in contrast to the discrete iteration used before, this is more in spirit of the original formulation of the renormalization group introduced in theoretical physics in 1974 \cite{KogutWilson1974}. The renormalization flow that we construct can be expressed in a simple way: it can be viewed as a single application of the Feshbach-Schur map with a clever selection of the spectral parameter. Another advantage of the method is that there exists a flow function for which the renormalization group that we present is the orbit under this flow of an initial Hamiltonian. This opens the possibility to study the problem using different techniques coming from the theory of evolution equations.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0911">http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0911</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724971235270230799.post-80667999316024213082013-08-06T00:00:00.025-07:002013-08-06T00:00:27.342-07:001308.0920 (Michael Leitner et al.)<h2 class="title"><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0920">Nonlinear differential identities for cnoidal waves</a> [<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.0920">PDF</a>]</h2>Michael Leitner, Alice Mikikits-Leitner<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">This article presents a family of nonlinear differential identities for the spatially periodic function $u_s(x)$, which is essentially the Jacobian elliptic function $\cn^2(z;m(s))$ with one non-trivial parameter $s$.

In this thesis, we have extended the FFBRST transformation in an auxiliary field formulation and have developed both on-shell and off-shell FF-anti-BRST transformations. The different aspects of such transformation are studied in Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formulation. FFBRST transformation has further been used to study the celebrated Gribov problem and to analyze the constrained dynamics in gauge theories. A new finite field dependent symmetry (combination of FFBRST and FF-anti-BRST) transformation has been invented. The FFBRST transformation is shown useful in connection of first-class constrained theory to that of second-class also.

In a singular theory, this condition is fulfilled in the case of the coincidence of the number of generalized momenta with the rank of the Hessian matrix. The noncanonical generalized velocities satisfy a system of linear algebraic equations, which allows an appropriate classification of singular theories (gauge and nongauge). A new antisymmetric bracket (similar to the Poisson bracket) is introduced, which describes the time evolution of physical quantities in a singular theory.

It is found that $D'_\Gamma$ is a nuclear, semi-reflexive and semi-Montel complete normal space of distributions. Its strong dual $E'_\Lambda$ is a nuclear, barrelled and bornological normal space of distributions which, however, is not even sequentially complete.

They arise as a relativistic analog of the wave functions of quantum mechanics, and sometimes arise also in quantum field theory. The evolution of a wave function with $N$ time variables is governed by $N$ Schr\"odinger equations, one for each time variable. These Schr\"odinger equations can be inconsistent with each other, i.e., they can fail to possess a joint solution for every initial condition; in fact, the $N$ Hamiltonians need to satisfy a certain commutator condition in order to be consistent. While this condition is automatically satisfied for non-interacting particles, it is a challenge to set up consistent multi-time equations with interaction. We prove for a wide class of multi-time Schr\"odinger equations that the presence of interaction potentials leads to inconsistency. We conclude that interaction has to be implemented instead by creation and annihilation of particles. We also prove a result that seemingly points in the opposite direction: When a cut-off length $\delta>0$ is introduced (in the sense that the multi-time wave function is defined only on a certain set of spacelike configurations, thereby breaking Lorentz invariance), then the multi-time Schr\"odinger equations with interaction potentials of range $\delta$ are consistent; however, in the desired limit $\delta\to 0$ of removing the cut-off, the resulting multi-time equations are interaction-free, which supports the conclusion expressed in the title.</blockquote>View original: <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.1065">http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.1065</a>C.P.R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13598012384534951656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724971235270230799.post-67192577691857216322013-08-06T00:00:00.001-07:002013-08-06T00:00:07.779-07:001308.1076 (Alcides Garat)<h2 class="title"><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.1076">The equivalence between local inertial frames and electromagnetic gauge<br /> in Einstein-Maxwell theories</a> [<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.1076">PDF</a>]</h2>Alcides Garat<a name='more'></a><blockquote class="abstract">We are going to prove that locally the inertial frames and gauge states of the electromagnetic field are equivalent.

We study the case of coherent illumination. By using the concept of Kolmogorov's $\epsilon$-capacity, we obtain: $M_\epsilon ~ 2^{S \log(1/\epsilon)} \to \infty$ as $\epsilon \to 0$, where S is the Shannon number. Moreover, we show that the $\epsilon$-capacity in inverse optical imaging is nearly equal to the amount of information on the object which is contained in the image.
