Path integral analysis from the D-dimensional generalized displacement operator, and some of their applications

Abdelhakim Benkrane, H. Benzair

Recently, H. Benzair et al. [Mod. Phys. Lett. A 35, 2050246 (2020).] formulated in one dimension the nonrelativistic propagator for position-dependent mass (PDM) from the generalized displacement operator approach. According to the path integral formulation, we generalize this process in [Formula: see text]-dimensional space. As a result, the wave functions are obtained analytically for the pseudo-harmonic oscillator and the inverse square plus Coulomb potentials, and the corresponding energy spectrum are studied. In addition, the effects of PDM on the canonical partition function and other thermodynamic functions have been extracted. The limit cases are then deduced for a small parameter.

Some aspects of a weak Weyl–Heisenberg algebra deformation

Noureddine Boucerredj, N. Mebarki, Achour Benslama

In the weak deformation (WD) approximation of the Weyl–Heisenberg algebra, the corresponding generalized coherent states and displacement operator are constructed. It is shown that those states, and contrary to the non-deformed Weyl-Heisenberg algebra, are not eigenstates of the annihilation operator. Moreover, and as an alternative to the Chaïchian et al. Q-deformed path integral approach (where Q is the deformation parameter), using the Bargmann Fock representation, we propose in the WD approximation, a general simple formalism. As an application, we calculate the propagator and the wave function of the harmonic oscillator.PACS Nos.: 03.65.Fd, 31.15.Kb

Feynman path integral

Alexander Altland, Benjamin D. Simons

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the concept of the Feynman path integral. As well as developing the general construction scheme, particular emphasis is placed on establishing the interconnections between the quantum mechanical path integral, classical Hamiltonian mechanics, and classical statistical mechanics. The practice of path integration is discussed in the context of several pedagogical applications. As well as the canonical examples of a quantum particle in a single and a double potential well, we discuss the generalization of the path integral scheme to tunneling of extended objects (quantum fields), dissipative and thermally assisted quantum tunneling, and the quantum mechanical spin. In this chapter we temporarily leave the arena of many-body physics and second quantization and, at least superficially, return to single-particle quantum mechanics. By establishing the path integral approach for ordinary quantum mechanics, we will set the stage for the introduction of field integral methods for many-body theories explored in the next chapter. We will see that the path integral not only represents a gateway to higher-dimensional functional integral methods but, when viewed from an appropriate perspective, already represents a field theoretical approach in its own right. Exploiting this connection, various concepts of field theory, namely stationary phase analysis, the Euclidean formulation of field theory, instanton techniques, and the role of topology in field theory, are introduced in this chapter. The path integral: general formalism Broadly speaking, there are two approaches to the formulation of quantum mechanics: the “operator approach” based on the canonical quantization of physical observables and the associated operator algebra, and the Feynman path integral.
