It is shown that $\Vert A \Vert_{L^d}^2 \ge \frac{d}{d-2}\, S_d$ is a necessary condition for the existence of a nontrivial solution of the Dirac equation $\gamma \cdot (-i\nabla -A)\psi = 0$ in $d$ dimensions. Here, $S_d$ is the sharp…
We study $(2+1)$ dimensional Dirac equation with complex scalar and Lorentz scalar potentials. It is shown that the Dirac equation admits exact analytical solutions with real eigenvalues for certain complex potentials while for another…
Dirac's idea of taking the square root of constraints is applied to the case of extended objects concentrating on membranes in D=4 space-time dimensions. The resulting equation is Lorentz invariant and predicts an infinite hierarchy of…
Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…
We consider homogeneous abelian vector fields in an expanding universe. We find a mechanical analogy in which the system behaves as a particle moving in three dimensions under the action of a central potential. In the case of bounded and…
An 1D tight-binding version of the Dirac equation is considered; after checking that it recovers the usual discrete Schr?odinger equation in the nonrelativistic limit, it is found that for two-valued Bernoulli potentials the zero mass case…
The de Moivre-Laplace theorem is a special case of the central limit theorem for Bernoulli random variables, and can be proved by direct computation. We deduce the central limit theorem for any random variable with finite variance from the…
Discussed are $\pm m$ modes and $\pm m$ resonances of Dirac operators with vector potentials $H_{\!A}= \alpha \cdot (D - A(x)) + m \beta$. Asymptotic limits of $\pm m$ modes at infinity are derived when $|A(x)| \le C<x>^{-\rho}$, $\rho >…
The Dirac monopole problem is studied in details within the framework of infinite-dimensional representations of the rotation group, and a consistent pointlike monopole theory with an arbitrary magnetic charge is deduced.
We examine several issues related to the processes of Dirac monopole-antimonopole production in high-energy collisions such as $e^+e^-$ annihilation. Perturbative calculations for such processes are known to be inherently ambiguous due to…
A new static and azimuthally symmetric magnetic monopolelike object, which looks like a Dirac monopole when seen from far away but smoothly changes to a dipole near the monopole position and vanishes at the origin, is discussed. This…
We introduce and study a new notion of non-commutative independence, called V-monotone independence, which can be viewed as an extension of the monotone independence of Muraki. We investigate the combinatorics of mixed moments of V-monotone…
Dirac-like monopoles are studied in three-dimensional Abelian Maxwell and Maxwell-Chern-Simons models. Their scalar nature is highlighted and discussed through a dimensional reduction of four-dimensional electrodynamics with electric and…
We study classical and quantum hidden symmetries of a particle with electric charge $e$ in the background of a Dirac monopole of magnetic charge $g$ subjected to an additional central potential $V(r)=U(r) +(eg)^2/2mr^{2}$ with…
A generalization of Callias' index theorem for self adjoint Dirac operators with skew adjoint potentials on asymptotically conic manifolds is presented in which the potential term may have constant rank nullspace at infinity. The index…
The gauge symmetries of a general dynamical system can be systematically obtained following either a Hamiltonean or a Lagrangean approach. In the former case, these symmetries are generated, according to Dirac's conjecture, by the first…
A precise formulation of $U(1)$ local gauge invariance in QED is presented, which clearly shows that the gauge coupling associated with the unphysical longitudinal photon field is non-observable and actually has an arbitrary value. We then…
We prove central limit theorem for linear eigenvalue statistics of orthogonally invariant ensembles of random matrices with one interval limiting spectrum. We consider ensembles with real analytic potentials and test functions with two…
In this paper, a new type of comparison theorem is presented for some initial-boundary value problems of second order nonlinear parabolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. This comparison theorem has an advantage over the…
The angular momentum of any quantum system should be {\it unambiguously} quantized. We show that such a quantization fails for a pure Dirac monopole due to a previously overlooked field angular momentum from the monopole-electric charge…
