Non-relativistic scale anomalies

Igal Arav, Shira Chapman, Yaron Oz

We extend the cohomological analysis in arXiv:1410.5831 of anisotropic Lifshitz scale anomalies. We consider non-relativistic theories with a dynamical critical exponent z = 2 with or without non-relativistic boosts and a particle number symmetry. We distinguish between cases depending on whether the time direction does or does not induce a foliation structure. We analyse both 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 spacetime dimensions. In 1 + 1 dimensions we find no scale anomalies with Galilean boost symmetries. The anomalies in 2 + 1 dimensions with Galilean boosts and a foliation structure are all B-type and are identical to the Lifshitz case in the purely spatial sector. With Galilean boosts and without a foliation structure we find also an A-type scale anomaly. There is an infinite ladder of B-type anomalies in the absence of a foliation structure with or without Galilean boosts. We discuss the relation between the existence of a foliation structure and the causality of the field theory.

Possibility of obtaining a non-relativistic proof of the spin-statistics theorem in the Galilean frame

Gabriel D. Puccini, H. Vucetich

Here we explore the possibility to obtain a non-relativistic proof of the spin-statistics theorem. First, we examine the structure of axioms and theorems involved in a relativistic Schwinger-like proof of the spin-statistics relation. Second, starting from this structure we identify the relativistic assumptions. Last, we reformulate these assumptions in order to obtain a Galilean proof. We conclude that the spin-statistics theorem cannot be deduced into the framework of Galilean quantum field theories for three space dimensions because two of the assumptions needed to prove the theorem are incompatible. We analyze, however, the conditions under which a non-relativist proof could still be deduced.

On the Absence of the Zeno Effect in Relativistic Quantum Field Theory

R. F. Álvarez-Estrada, José L. Sánchez-gómez

We study the time evolution of decaying particles in renormalizable models of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory. Significant differences between the latter and Non Relativistic Quantum Mechanics are found —in particular, the Zeno effect seems to be absent in such RQFT models. Conventional renormalization yields finite time behaviour in some cases but fails to produce finite survival probabilities in others. The analysis of the finite time evolution in relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT) and, in particular, the behaviour at short times of the survival probability of unstable particles in RQFT is a relevant matter as far as the foundations of quantum mechanics are concerned and has some peculiarities which make it to be worth studying. But before going to RQFT, we will briefly recapitulate the main features of the survival amplitude (SA) at short times in non relativistic quantum mechanics (QM henceforth); see, for instance, [1] for a comprehensive review.
