On the classical mechanics of a nonrelativistic superparticle

Boyka Aneva, P Boshilov, D. Ts. Stoyanov

Published Nov 11, 1987• 1 citation

Abstract

A classical Lagrangian function for a system with even and odd degrees of freedom is proposed and studied. The quantisation is performed without the appearance of non-trivial constraints and it leads to the previously defined supersymmetric Schrodinger equation.

Integrals of motion, supersymmetric quantum mechanics and dynamical supersymmetry

Plyushchay, M S

The class of relativistic spin particle models reveals the `quantization' of parameters already at the classical level. The special parameter values emerge if one requires the maximality of classical global continuous symmetries. The same requirement applied to a non-relativistic particle with odd degrees of freedom gives rise to supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Coupling classical non-relativistic superparticle to a `U(1) gauge field', one can arrive at the quantum dynamical supersymmetry. This consists in supersymmetry appearing at special values of the coupling constant characterizing interaction of a system of boson and fermion but disappearing in a free case. Possible relevance of this phenomenon to high-temperature superconductivity is speculated.

Quantisation of the multidimensional rotor

Elcio Abdalla A, Rudra Banerjee

We reconsider the problem of quantising a particle on the D-dimensional sphere. Adopting a Lagrangian method of reducing the degrees of freedom, the quantum Hamiltonian is found to be the usual Schrödinger operator without any curvature term. The equivalence with the Dirac Hamiltonian approach is demonstrated, either in the cartesian or in the curvilinear basis. We also briefly comment on the path integral approach.

Relativistic Schrödinger equations

Ll. Bel, E. Ruiz

A representation of the Poincaré group by means of operators acting on the function space of the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is introduced. The conditions that the Hamiltonian of an interacting particle system must verify in order to define a relativistic invariant Schrödinger equation are found out. The relation with usual quantum constraint theories is also studied.

Ambiguities in Quantizing a Classical System

Ian H. Redmount, Wai-Mo Suen, K. Young

One classical theory, as determined by an equation of motion or set of classical trajectories, can correspond to many unitarily {\em in}equivalent quantum theories upon canonical quantization. This arises from a remarkable ambiguity, not previously investigated, in the construction of the classical (and hence the quantized) Hamiltonian or Lagrangian. This ambiguity is illustrated for systems with one degree of freedom: An arbitrary function of the constants of motion can be introduced into this construction. For example, the nonrelativistic and relativistic free particles follow identical classical trajectories, but the Hamiltonians or Lagrangians, and the canonically quantized versions of these descriptions, are inequivalent. Inequivalent descriptions of other systems, such as the harmonic oscillator, are also readily obtained.

Supersymmetric classical mechanics

Georg Junker, Stephan Matthiesen

We study the classical properties of a supersymmetric system which is often used as a model for supersymmetric quantum mechanics. It is found that the classical dynamics of the bosonic as well as the fermionic degrees of freedom is fully described by a so-called quasi-classical solution. We also comment on the importance of this quasi-classical solution in the semi-classical treatment of the supersymmetric quantum model.

Quantization of the multidimensional rotor

Elcio Abdalla A, Rabin Banerjee

We reconsider the problem of quantising a particle on the $D$-dimensional sphere. Adopting a Lagrangian method of reducing the degrees of freedom, the quantum Hamiltonian is found to be the usual Schrödinger operator without any boundary term. The equivalence with the Dirac Hamiltonian approach is demonstrated, either in the cartesian or in the curvilinear basis. We also briefly comment on the path integral approach.
