In this paper we derive various identities involving the {\it action} functional which enters the path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics. They provide some kind of generalisations of the Ehrenfest theorem giving correlations between…
In this paper we complete the analysis begun by two of the authors in a previous work on the discrete quantum walk on the line [J. Phys. A 36:8775-8795 (2003) quant-ph/0303105 ]. We obtain uniformly convergent asymptotics for the…
When proving theorems from large sets of logical assertions, it can be helpful to restrict the search for a proof to those assertions that are relevant, that is, closely related to the theorem in some sense. For example, in the Watson…
Feynman's path integral is herein generalized to the nonextensive canonical density matrix based on Tsallis entropy. This generalization is done in two ways by using unnormalized and normalized constraints. Firstly, we consider the path…
The possibility to recover the which-way information, for example in the two slit experiment, is based on a natural but implicit assumption about the position of a particle {\it before} a position measurement is performed on it. This…
This paper formulates Young-type inequalities for singular values (or $s$-numbers) and traces in the context of von Neumann algebras. In particular, it shown that if $\t(\cdot)$ is a faithful semifinite normal trace on a semifinite von…
We derive an identity that relates a class of multiple integrals involving Vandermonde polynomials to divided differences. Alternatively the identity can be viewed as an integral formula for divided differences. As part of the derivation we…
The Feynman path integral approach to quantum mechanics is examined in the case where the configuration space is curved. It is shown how the ambiguity that is present in the choice of path integral measure may be resolved if, in addition to…
We present a proof of the Symmetrization Postulate for the special case of noninteracting, identical particles. The proof is given in the context of the Feynman formalism of Quantum Mechanics, and builds upon the work of Goyal, Knuth and…
In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…
The Feynman path integral does not allow a "one real path" interpretation, because amplitudes contribute to probabilities in a non-separable manner. The opposite extreme, "all paths happen", is not a useful or informative account. In this…
We search for Nicomachean identities by adding translation parameters, variable parameters, sequence products and adjoining further numbers to sequences. The solutions of definite and indefinite quadratic forms arise in this study of cubic…
We prove an identity [Eq. (1) below] among SU(2) 6j and 9j symbols that generalizes the Biedenharn-Elliott sum rule. We prove the result using diagrammatic techniques (briefly reviewed here), and then provide an algebraic proof. This…
This is an extended write-up of a talk given in April, 1993 in honor of Raoul Bott's 70th birthday. We first illustrate how some traditional topological and geometric invariants obey ``gluing laws'' inspired by those in classical and…
The more important difference between Riemann and pseudo-Riemann manifolds is the metric signature and its theoretical consequences. The practical application for Physics Theories becomes often impossible due to the signature consequences.…
We prove that a continuous path with finite length in a real Banach space cannot have infinitely many zero components in its signature unless it is tree-like. In particular, this allows us to strengthen a limit theorem for signature…
All the already known results on self descriptive numbers, together with the demonstration of the uniqueness for bases greater than 6, are here obtained through a systematic scheme of proof and not trial and error. The proof is also…
This manuscript introduces a general multisection identity expressed equivalently in terms of infinite double products and/or infinite double series, from which several new product or summation identities involving special functions…
In this paper we formulate combinatorial identities that give representation of positive integers as linear combination of even powers of 2 with binomial coefficients. We present side by side combinatorial as well as computer generated…
A unitarily invariant projective framework is introduced to analyze the complexity of path-following methods for the eigenvalue problem. A condition number, and its relation to the distance to ill-posedness, is given. A Newton map…
