In this paper the interaction of a scalar field and the electromagnetic field in phase space is analyzed. The scattering process is calculated up to first order in the Planck constant which is obtained by an expansion of the Moyal product…
A quantum-mechanical wave function is complex, but all observations are real, expressible through expectation values and transition matrix elements that involve the wave functions. It can be useful to separate at the outset the amplitude…
The pseudo-SU(3) model is extended to explicitly include the spin and proton-neutron degrees of freedom. A general formalism for evaluating matrix elements of one-body and two-body tensor operators within this framework is presented. The…
The matrix elements of the quadrupole variables and canonic conjugate momenta, emerging from collective nuclear models are calculated within a $SU(1,1)\times O(5)$ basis. Using a harmonic oscillator implementation of the SU(1,1) degree of…
We derive the scalar mass matrices in effective supergravity models augmented by a $U(1)_F$ family symmetry. Simple relations between $U(1)_F$ charges and modular weights of the superfields are derived and used to express the matrices with…
Unitary 1-matrix models are shown to be exactly equivalent to hermitian 1-matrix models coupled to 2N vectors with appropriate potentials, to all orders in the 1/N expansion. This fact allows us to use all the techniques developed and…
Geometric Phase in Quantum Mechanics is generally formulated entirely in terms of geometric structure of the Complex Hilbert Space. We will exploit this fact in case of mixed states for three level open systems undergoing depolarization…

We formulate analytically the reflection of a one dimensional, expanding free wave-packet (wp) from an infinite barrier. Three types of wp's are considered, representing an electron, a molecule and a classical object. We derive a threshold…
Geometric phases are important in quantum physics and now central to fault tolerant quantum computation. For spin-1/2 and SU(2), the Bloch sphere $S^2$, together with a U(1) phase, provides a complete SU(2) description. We generalize to…
Following a recent group theoretical quantization of the symplectic space S={(phi in R mod 2pi, p>0)} in terms of irreducible unitary representations of the group SO(1,2) the present paper proposes an application of those results to the old…
Through Quantum Monte Carlo simulation, we study the biquadratic-interaction model with the SU(2) symmetry in two and three dimensions. The zero-temperature phase diagrams for the two cases are identical and exhibit an intermediate phase…
It is pointed out that phase structures of gauge theories compactified on non-simply connected spaces are not trivial. As a demonstration, an SU(2) gauge model on $M^3\otimes S^1$ is studied and is shown to possess three phases: Hosotani,…
In this revised version we correct some mistakes, realizing the supersymmetry algebra on the exact S matrix, taking into account several phase factros. We study the constraint imposed by supersymmetry on the exact $S$-matrix of $\Complex…
We study the existence of diagonal representatives in each equivalence class of representation matrices of boundary conditions in $SU(n)$ or $U(n)$ gauge theories compactified on the orbifolds $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_N$ ($N = 2, 3, 4, 6$). We…
We present a study of the structure of phase diagrams for matter-radiation systems, based on the use of coherent states and the catastrophe formalism, that compares very well with the exact quantum solutions as well as providing analytical…
Let $R$ be a (not necessarily commutative) ring whose additive group is finitely generated and let $U_n(R) \subset GL_n(R)$ be the group of upper-triangular unipotent matrices over $R$. We study how the homology groups of $U_n(R)$ vary with…

We give a formula for the modular operator and modular conjugation in terms of matrix coefficients of corepresentations of a quantum group in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes. As a consequence, the modular autmorphism group of a unimodular…
Maximally supersymmetric (p+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at large N and finite temperature, with possibly compact spatial directions, has a rich phase structure. Strongly coupled phases may have holographic descriptions as black branes…
