We treat space and time as bona fide quantum degrees of freedom on an equal footing in Hilbert space. Motivated by considerations in quantum gravity, we focus on a paradigm dealing with linear, first-order Hamiltonian and momentum…
Exact solutions of Einstein equations with null Riemman-Christoffel curvature tensor everywhere, except on a hypersurface, are studied using quantum particles obeying the Klein-Gordon equation. We consider the particular cases when the…
We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The fundamental degrees of freedom are $2N$ bosonic fields living on the future…
The linearized Kepler problem is considered, as obtained from the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel (K-S)transformation, both for negative and positive energies. The symmetry group for the Kepler problem turns out to be SU(2,2). For negative energies,…
The quantum free particle on the sphere $S_\kappa^2$ ($\kappa>0$) and on the hyperbolic plane $H_\kappa^2$ ($\kappa<0$) is studied using a formalism that considers the curvature $\k$ as a parameter. The first part is mainly concerned with…
In this article we consider two classical problems in Quantum Mechanics, namely the 'particle on a ring' and the 'particle in a box' from the viewpoint of symplectic topology. Interpreting the solutions of the corresponding time independent…
We explain that when quantising phase spaces with varying symplectic structures, the bundle of quantum Hilbert spaces over the parameter space has a natural unitary connection. We then focus on symplectic vector spaces and their fermionic…
This work is a continuation of our recent study of non-relativistic charged particles, confined to a sphere enclosing a magnetic dipole at its center. In this sequel, we extend our computations in two significant ways. The first is to a…
There are constructed exact solutions of the quantum-mechanical Dirac equation for a spin S=1/2 particle in Riemannian space of constant negative curvature, hyperbolic Lobachevsky space, in presence of an external magnetic field, analogue…
The problem of a spinless particle subject to a general mixing of vector and scalar inversely linear potentials in a two-dimensional world is analyzed. Exact bounded solutions are found in closed form by imposing boundary conditions on the…
The Dirac equation for massive free electrically neutral spin 1/2 particles in a gravitation field is considered. The secondary quantization procedure is applied to it and the Hilbert space of multiparticle quantum states is constructed.
We provide a holomorphic description of the Hilbert space H(j_1,..,j_n) of SU(2)-invariant tensors (intertwiners) and establish a holomorphically factorized formula for the decomposition of identity in H(j_1,..,j_n). Interestingly, the…
In this work we show that corrections to the Newton's second law appears if we assume that the phase space has a symplectic structure consistent with the rules of commutation of noncommutative quantum mechanis. In the central field case we…
The problem of quantizing a particle on a 2-sphere has been treated by numerous approaches, including Isham's global method based on unitary representations of a symplectic symmetry group that acts transitively on the phase space. Here we…
It is shown in this paper that the geometrically structureless spacetime manifold is converted instantaneously to a curved one, the Riemannian or may be a Finslerian spacetime with an associated Riemannian spacetime, on the appearance of…
The central force problem is considered in a three dimensional space in which the Poisson bracket among the spatial coordinates is the one by the SU(2) Lie algebra. It is shown that among attractive power-law potentials it is only the…
An adapted representation of quantum mechanics sheds new light on the relationship between quantum states and classical states. In this approach the space of quantum states splits into a product of the state space of classical mechanics and…
We argue that in classical and quantum theories of gravity the configuration space and Hilbert space may not be constructible through any finite procedure. If this is the case then the "problem of time" in quantum cosmology may be a…
We consider the spin-1/2 hamiltonians proposed by Cano and Fendley [J. Cano and P. Fendley, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 067205 (2010)] which were built to promote the well-known Rokshar-Kivelson (RK) point of quantum dimer models to spin-1/2…
Since the advent of quantum mechanics we have mainly been concerned with its predictions from the perspective of an external observer. This is in strong contrast to the theory of general relativity, where the physics is governed by the…
