Four new exactly solvable, real and shape-invariant potentials associated with a position-dependent effective mass are generated within the concept of shape-invariant potentials using a specific ansatz for superpotential. The accompanying…
We construct a class of quantum mechanical theories which are invariant under fermionic transformations similar to supersymmetry transformations. The generators of the transformations in this case, however, satisfy a BRST-like algebra.
We discuss different properties and the ability of several topological invariants based on position operators to identify phase transitions, and compare with more accurate methods, like crossing of excited energy levels and jumps in Berry…
This paper explores the Invariant Subspace Problem in operator theory and functional analysis, examining its applications in various branches of mathematics and physics. The problem addresses the existence of invariant subspaces for bounded…
In the past ten years, the ideas of supersymmetry have been profitably applied to many nonrelativistic quantum mechanical problems. In particular, there is now a much deeper understanding of why certain potentials are analytically solvable…
We find new families of shape invariant potentials depending on n>=1 parameters subject to translation by the inclusion of non-trivial invariants. New dependencies of the spectra are found, and it opens the door to the engineering of…
A state saturating a BPS bound derived from a supersymmetry algebra preserves some fraction of the supersymmetry. This fraction of supersymmetry depends on the charges carried by the system, and we show that in general there are…
We study field models for which a quantum action (i.e. the action appearing in the generating functional of Green functions) is invariant under supersymmetric transformations. We derive the Ward identity which is direct consequence of this…
The Higgs mechanism gives mass to Yang-Mills gauge bosons. According to the conventional wisdom, this happens through the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry. Yet, gauge symmetries merely reflect a redundancy in the state description and…
We review here a path-integral approach to classical mechanics and explore the geometrical meaning of this construction. In particular we bring to light a universal hidden BRS invariance and its geometrical relevance for the Cartan calculus…
Particle systems admit a variety of tensor product structures (TPSs) depending on the algebra of observables chosen for analysis. Global symmetry transformations and dynamical transformations may be resolved into local unitary operators…
In the Wess-Zumino gauge, supersymmetry transformations become non-linear and are usually incorporated together with BRS transformations in the form of Slavnov-Taylor identities, such that they appear at first sight to be even non-local.…
We consider the problem of quantum behavior in the finite background. Introduction of continuum or other infinities into physics leads only to technical complications without any need for them in description of empirical observations. The…
We examine shape invariant potentials (excluding those that are obtained by scaling) in supersymmetric quantum mechanics from the stand-point of periodic orbit theory. An exact trace formula for the quantum spectra of such potentials is…
We introduce a geometric formulation of quantum indeterminacy from which the standard uncertainty inequalities emerge as necessary consequences. Our approach is based on convex geometry in phase space and on methods from symplectic…
Paying attention to conformal invariance as the invariance under local transformations of units of measure, we take a conformal invariant quantum field as a quantum matter theory in which one has the freedom to choose the values of units of…
A general algebraic approach, incorporating both invariance groups and dynamic symmetry algebras, is developed to reveal hidden coherent structures (closed complexes and configurations) in quantum many-body physics models due to symmetries…
We consider an inhomogeneous quantum supergroup which leaves invariant a supersymmetric particle algebra. The quantum sub-supergroups of this inhomogeneous quantum supergroup are investigated.
It is well known that subspaces of the Hardy space over the unit disk which are invariant under the backward shift occur as the image of an observability operator associated with a discrete-time linear system with stable state-dynamics, as…
We study the tomography of multispin quantum states in the context of finite-dimensional Wigner representations. An arbitrary operator can be completely characterized and visualized using multiple shapes assembled from linear combinations…
