Unitary Time Evolution and Vacuum for a Quantum Stable Ghost

Cédric Deffayet, Atabak Fathe Jalali, Aaron Held +2 more

We quantize a classically stable system of a harmonic oscillator polynomially coupled to a ghost with negative kinetic energy. We prove that due to an integral of motion with a positive discrete spectrum: i) the Hamiltonian has a pure point spectrum unbounded in both directions, ii) the evolution is manifestly unitary, iii) the vacuum is well-defined, iv) expectation values for squares of canonical variables are bounded. Numerical solutions of the Schrödinger equation confirm these results. We argue that the discrete spectrum of the integral of motion enforces stability for extended interactions.

Why there is no Efimov effect for four bosons and related results on the finiteness of the discrete spectrum

D. K. Gridnev

We consider a system of N pairwise interacting particles described by the Hamiltonian H, where σess(H) = [0, ∞) and none of the particle pairs has a zero energy resonance. The pair potentials are allowed to take both signs and obey certain restrictions regarding the fall off. It is proved that if N ⩾ 4 and none of the Hamiltonians corresponding to the subsystems containing N − 2 or less particles has an eigenvalue equal to zero then H has a finite number of negative energy bound states. This result provides a positive proof to a long-standing conjecture of Amado and Greenwood stating that four bosons with an empty negative continuous spectrum have at most a finite number of negative energy bound states. Additionally, we give a short proof to the theorem of Vugal'ter and Zhislin on the finiteness of the discrete spectrum and pose a conjecture regarding the existence of the “true” four-body Efimov effect.
