Abstract

We explain the relationship between the classical description of an integrable system in terms of invariant tori and action-angle variables, and the quantum description in terms of the asymptotic Bethe ansatz.

Polynomial conservation laws in (1 + 1)-dimensional classical and quantum field theory

H. B. Thacker

The quantum-mechanical implications of the inverse-scattering-transform method and its relationship to the structure of Bethe's ansatz are discussed in the context of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (many-body problem) associated with the classical (quantum) field theory $\mathcal{L}=(\frac{i}{2}){\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{*}{\stackrel{}{\ensuremath{\partial}}}_{0}\ensuremath{\varphi}\ensuremath{-}{|{\ensuremath{\partial}}_{1}\ensuremath{\varphi}|}^{2}\ensuremath{-}c{|\ensuremath{\varphi}|}^{4}$. We review the transformation of the classical problem to action and angle variables and the derivation of an infinite number of polynomial conservation laws. The values of the conserved constants are given by the moments of the classical action variable. It is suggested that there exists a corresponding set of conserved polynomial operators in the quantum field theory and that they reflect the conservation of velocity content which characterizes the solution of the many-body scattering problem (Bethe's ansatz). This implies that the quantized action variable is just the occupation-number density operator in the asymptotic momentum-(velocity-) parameter space of Bethe's ansatz, and that Bethe's wave functions are eigenstates of all conserved operators with eigenvalues given by the moments of the $N$-particle distribution in asymptotic momentum space. These statements are verified for the first four operators, including one which has not previously been studied.

Quantum geometry and quantum mechanics of integrable systems

Mihail Vladimirovich Karasev

Quantum integrable systems and their classical counterparts are considered. We show that the symplectic structure and invariant tori of the classical system can be deformed by a quantization parameter ħ to produce a new (classical) integrable system. The new tori selected by the ħ-equidistance rule represent the spectrum of the quantum system up to O(ħ ∞) and are invariant under quantum dynamics in the long-time range O(ħ −∞). The quantum diffusion over the deformed tori is described. The analytic apparatus uses quantum action-angle coordinates explicitly constructed by an ħ-deformation of the classical action-angles.

Classical, quantum mechanical, and semiclassical representations of resonant dynamics: A unified treatment

Craig C. Martens, Gregory S. Ezra

This paper addresses the general problem of zeroth order representation of resonant dynamics. We investigate the classical, quantum mechanical, and semiclassical transformation properties of two-dimensional isotropic and anisotropic uncoupled harmonic oscillators. The classical and quantal theories are presented in a manner that emphasizes the strong correspondence between the two, and in particular, the SU(2) symmetry exhibited by both the classical and quantum oscillators. The classical canonical transformations relating the action-angle variables appropriate for normal, local, and precessional motion of the isotropic oscillator are derived by explicit calculation of the generating functions. By employing a simple mapping relating the anisotropic and isotropic oscillators, expressions for action-angle variables appropriate for the topology of an arbitrary m:n resonance are determined. The resulting invariant tori are compared with the corresponding quantum mechanical wave functions and phase space densities. The relationship between the classical and quantum mechanical theories is illustrated by determining semiclassical approximations to the unitary transformation matrix elements, which are given in terms of the classical generating functions. Applications to problems of current interest, such as the adiabatic switching method for semiclassical quantization of nonseparable systems, are briefly discussed.
