    A String Approximation for Cooper Pair in High-Tc_{\bf c} superconductivity

    Full text link
    It is assumed that in some sense the High-Tc_c superconductivity is similar to the quantum chromodynamics (QCD). This means that the phonons in High-Tc_c superconductor have the strong interaction between themselves like to gluons in the QCD. At the experimental level this means that in High-Tc_c superconductor exists the nonlinear sound waves. It is possible that the existence of the strong phonon-phonon interaction leads to the confinement of phonons into a phonon tube (PT) stretched between two Cooper electrons like a hypothesized flux tube between quark and antiquark in the QCD. The flux tube in the QCD brings to a very strong interaction between quark-antiquark, the similar situation can be in the High-Tc_c superconductor: the presence of the PT can essentially increase the binding energy for the Cooper pair. In the first rough approximation the PT can be approximated as a nonrelativistic string with Cooper electrons at the ends. The BCS theory with such potential term is considered. It is shown that Green's function method in the superconductivity theory is a realization of discussed Heisenberg idea proposed by him for the quantization of nonlinear spinor field. A possible experimental testing for the string approximation of the Cooper pair is offered.Comment: Essential changes: (a) the section is added in which it is shown that Green's function method in the superconductivity theory is a realization of discussed Heisenberg quantization method; (b) Veneziano amplitude is discussed as an approximation for the 4-point Green's function in High-T_c; (c) it is shown that Eq.(53) has more natural solution on the layer rather than on 3 dimensional spac

    Cosmological constant and Euclidean space from nonperturbative quantum torsion

    Full text link
    Heisenberg's nonperturbative quantization technique is applied to the nonpertrubative quantization of gravity. An infinite set of equations for all Green's functions is obtained. An approximation is considered where: (a) the metric remains as a classical field; (b) the affine connection can be decomposed into classical and quantum parts; (c) the classical part of the affine connection are the Christoffel symbols; (d) the quantum part is the torsion. Using a scalar and vector fields approximation it is shown that nonperturbative quantum effects gives rise to a cosmological constant and an Euclidean solution.Comment: title is changed. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1201.106

    Two-dimensional anyons and the temperature dependence of commutator anomalies

    Get PDF
    The temperature dependence of commutator anomalies is discussed on the explicit example of particular (anyonic) field operators in two dimensions. The correlation functions obtained show that effects of the non-zero temperature might manifest themselves not only globally but also locally.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe

    Spherically Symmetric Solution for Torsion and the Dirac equation in 5D spacetime

    Get PDF
    Torsion in a 5D spacetime is considered. In this case gravitation is defined by the 5D metric and the torsion. It is conjectured that torsion is connected with a spinor field. In this case Dirac's equation becomes the nonlinear Heisenberg equation. It is shown that this equation has a discrete spectrum of solutions with each solution being regular on the whole space and having finite energy. Every solution is concentrated on the Planck region and hence we can say that torsion should play an important role in quantum gravity in the formation of bubbles of spacetime foam. On the basis of the algebraic relation between torsion and the classical spinor field in Einstein-Cartan gravity the geometrical interpretation of the spinor field is considered as ``the square root'' of torsion.Comment: 7 pages, REVTEX, essential changing of tex

    Kinetic energy driven superconductivity, the origin of the Meissner effect, and the reductionist frontier

    Full text link
    Is superconductivity associated with a lowering or an increase of the kinetic energy of the charge carriers? Conventional BCS theory predicts that the kinetic energy of carriers increases in the transition from the normal to the superconducting state. However, substantial experimental evidence obtained in recent years indicates that in at least some superconductors the opposite occurs. Motivated in part by these experiments many novel mechanisms of superconductivity have recently been proposed where the transition to superconductivity is associated with a lowering of the kinetic energy of the carriers. However none of these proposed unconventional mechanisms explores the fundamental reason for kinetic energy lowering nor its wider implications. Here I propose that kinetic energy lowering is at the root of the Meissner effect, the most fundamental property of superconductors. The physics can be understood at the level of a single electron atom: kinetic energy lowering and enhanced diamagnetic susceptibility are intimately connected. According to the theory of hole superconductivity, superconductors expel negative charge from their interior driven by kinetic energy lowering and in the process expel any magnetic field lines present in their interior. Associated with this we predict the existence of a macroscopic electric field in the interior of superconductors and the existence of macroscopic quantum zero-point motion in the form of a spin current in the ground state of superconductors (spin Meissner effect). In turn, the understanding of the role of kinetic energy lowering in superconductivity suggests a new way to understand the fundamental origin of kinetic energy lowering in quantum mechanics quite generally

    The Evolution of Universe with th B-I Type Phantom Scalar Field

    Full text link
    We considered the phantom cosmology with a lagrangian L=1η[11+ηgμνϕ,μϕ,ν]u(ϕ)\displaystyle L=\frac{1}{\eta}[1-\sqrt{1+\eta g^{\mu\nu}\phi_{, \mu}\phi_{, \nu}}]-u(\phi), which is original from the nonlinear Born-Infeld type scalar field with the lagrangian L=1η[11ηgμνϕ,μϕ,ν]u(ϕ)\displaystyle L=\frac{1}{\eta}[1-\sqrt{1-\eta g^{\mu\nu}\phi_{, \mu}\phi_{, \nu}}]-u(\phi). This cosmological model can explain the accelerated expansion of the universe with the equation of state parameter w1w\leq-1. We get a sufficient condition for a arbitrary potential to admit a late time attractor solution: the value of potential u(Xc)u(X_c) at the critical point (Xc,0)(X_c,0) should be maximum and large than zero. We study a specific potential with the form of u(ϕ)=V0(1+ϕϕ0)e(ϕϕ0)u(\phi)=V_0(1+\frac{\phi}{\phi_0})e^{(-\frac{\phi}{\phi_0})} via phase plane analysis and compute the cosmological evolution by numerical analysis in detail. The result shows that the phantom field survive till today (to account for the observed late time accelerated expansion) without interfering with the nucleosynthesis of the standard model(the density parameter Ωϕ1012\Omega_{\phi}\simeq10^{-12} at the equipartition epoch), and also avoid the future collapse of the universe.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures,typos corrected, references added,figures added and enriched, title changed, main result remaine

    Semiclassical Calculation of Multiparticle Scattering Cross Sections in Classicalizing Theories

    Full text link
    It has been suggested in arXiv:1010.1415 that certain derivatively coupled non-renormalizable scalar field theories might restore the perturbative unitarity of high energy hard scatterings by classicalization, i.e. formation of multiparticle states of soft quanta. Here we apply the semiclassical method of calculating the multiparticle production rates to the scalar Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theory which is suggested to classicalize. We find that the semiclassical method is applicable for the energies in the final state above the cutoff scale of the theory L_*^{-1}. We encounter that the cross section of the process two to N ceases to be exponentially suppressed for the particle number in the final state N smaller than a critical particle number N_{crit} ~ (E L_*)^{4/3}. It coincides with the typical particle number produced in two-particle collisions at high energies predicted by classicalization arguments.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, v2.

    Proposal to improve the behaviour of self-energy contributions to the S-matrix

    Full text link
    A simple modification of the definition of the S-matrix is proposed. It is expected that the divergences related to nonzero self-energies are considerably milder with the modified definition than with the usual one. This conjecture is verified in a few examples using perturbation theory. The proposed formula is written in terms of the total Hamiltonian operator and a free Hamiltonian operator and is therefore applicable in any case when these Hamiltonian operators are known.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figure; v2: revised version; v3: section 3 improved.

    Fractal Characterizations of MAX Statistical Distribution in Genetic Association Studies

    Full text link
    Two non-integer parameters are defined for MAX statistics, which are maxima of dd simpler test statistics. The first parameter, dMAXd_{MAX}, is the fractional number of tests, representing the equivalent numbers of independent tests in MAX. If the dd tests are dependent, dMAX<dd_{MAX} < d. The second parameter is the fractional degrees of freedom kk of the chi-square distribution χk2\chi^2_k that fits the MAX null distribution. These two parameters, dMAXd_{MAX} and kk, can be independently defined, and kk can be non-integer even if dMAXd_{MAX} is an integer. We illustrate these two parameters using the example of MAX2 and MAX3 statistics in genetic case-control studies. We speculate that kk is related to the amount of ambiguity of the model inferred by the test. In the case-control genetic association, tests with low kk (e.g. k=1k=1) are able to provide definitive information about the disease model, as versus tests with high kk (e.g. k=2k=2) that are completely uncertain about the disease model. Similar to Heisenberg's uncertain principle, the ability to infer disease model and the ability to detect significant association may not be simultaneously optimized, and kk seems to measure the level of their balance

    A Model with Interacting Composites

    Full text link
    We show that we can construct a model in 3+1 dimensions where only composite scalars take place in physical processes as incoming and outgoing particles, whereas constituent spinors only act as intermediary particles. Hence while the spinor-spinor scattering goes to zero, the scattering of composites gives nontrivial results.Comment: 9 Page
