Galilean Duffin Kemmer Petiau algebra and symplectic structure

Abstract

We develop the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) approach in the phase-space picture of quantum mechanics by considering DKP algebras in a Galilean covariant context. Specifically, we develop an algebraic calculus based on a tensor algebra defined on a five-dimensional space which plays the role of spacetime background of the non-relativistic DKP equation. The Liouville operator is determined and the Liouville–von Neumann equation is written in two situations: the free particle and a particle in an external electromagnetic field. A comparison between the non-relativistic and the relativistic cases is commented.

Galilean covariance and the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation

M. de Montigny, F. C. Khanna, Ademir Eugenio de Santana +2 more

We use a five-dimensional approach to Galilean covariance to investigate the non-relativistic Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau first-order wave equations for spinless particles. The corresponding representation is generated by five 6×6 matrices. We consider the harmonic oscillator as an example.

On the Galilean Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation in arbitrary dimensions

M. de Montigny, E. S. Santos

We obtain the representations of the Galilean covariant Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation in an arbitrary number of dimensions. Their purpose is to facilitate the study of nonrelativistic many-body systems with spinless and spin-one fields. A Galilean covariant formalism exploits the tensor structure of relativistic Lorentz-invariant theories by adding one extra spacelike coordinate and working with light-cone coordinates.

A generalized Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau oscillator

Youcef Nedjadi, Roger C. Barrett

We propose a generic S = 1 relativisitic oscillator model which extends the class of relativistic bosonic oscillators. The Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) oscillator we introduced in an earlier work can be recovered as an element of a family of DKP oscillators that can be realized within this generic model. We present the formalism for the exact quantum mechanical treatment of this generic model and, for illustration, compute the eigenvalues of a particular family of relativistic oscillators.

Symplectic Field Theory of the Galilean Covariant Scalar and Spinor Representations

G. X. A. Petronilo, S. C. Ulhoa, A. E. Santana

We explore the concept of the extended Galilei group, a representation for the symplectic quantum mechanics in the manifold G, written in the light-cone of a five-dimensional de Sitter space-time in the phase space. The Hilbert space is constructed endowed with a symplectic structure. We study the unitary operators describing rotations and translations, whose generators satisfy the Lie algebra of G. This representation gives rise to the Schr¨odinger (Klein–Gordon-like) equation for the wave function in the phase space such that the dependent variables have the position and linear momentum contents. The wave functions are associated to the Wigner function through the Moyal product such that the wave functions represent a quasiamplitude of probability. We construct the Pauli–Schr¨odinger (Dirac-like) equation in the phase space in its explicitly covariant form. Finally, we show the equivalence between the five-dimensional formalism of the phase space with the usual formalism, proposing a solution that recovers the non-covariant form of the Pauli–Schr¨odinger equation in the phase space.

The Algebraic Way

Basil J. Hiley

In this paper we examine in detail the non-commutative symplectic algebra underlying quantum dynamics. We show that this algebra contains both the Weyl-von Neumann algebra and the Moyal algebra. The latter contains the Wigner distribution as the kernel of the density matrix. The underlying non-commutative geometry can be projected into either of two Abelian spaces, so-called `shadow phase spaces'. One of these is the phase space of Bohmian mechanics, showing that it is a fragment of the basic underlying algebra. The algebraic approach is much richer, giving rise to two fundamental dynamical time development equations which reduce to the Liouville equation and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the classical limit. They also include the Schrödinger equation and its wave function, showing that these features are a partial aspect of the more general non-commutative structure. We discuss briefly the properties of this more general mathematical background from which the non-commutative symplectic algebra emerges.

We have investigated the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation, with equally vector and scalar potentials for the general deformed Morse potential, then we obtained creation and annihilation operators and showed that these operators satisfied the commutation relation of the [Formula: see text]group. The Casimir operator defined for Laguerre polynomials.
