Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to provide a definition of dynamical symme- try and to study its properties within simple quantum systems. In particular, I investigate Kepler's problem and the isotropic harmonic oscillator. Dynamical sy- mmetry is a kind of higher symmetry which is broken in a specific way. Definition of dynamical group and quantum mechanical system is presented. Subsequently, a definition of quantum degrees of freedom and quantum integrability is propo- sed. I mention briefly a possibility of finding the generators of dynamical group by considering time dependent constants of motion.

Symplectic structures and dynamical symmetry groups.

G. F. Torres del Castillo, Mercedes Paulina Velázquez-Quesada

Apart from the total energy, the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator possesses three independent constants of motion which, with the standard symplectic structure, generates a dynamical symmetry group isomorphic to SU(2). We show that, by suitably redefining the symplectic structure, any of these three constants of motion can be used as a Hamiltonian, and that the remaining two, together with the total energy, generate a dynamical symmetry group isomorphic to SU(1,1). We also show that the standard energy levels of the quantum two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator and their degeneracies are obtained making use of the appropriate representations of SU(1,1), provided that the canonical commutation relations are modified according to the new symplectic structure. Whereas in classical mechanics the different symplectic structures lead to equivalent formulations of the equations of motion, in quantum mechanics the modifications of the commutation relations should be accompanied by modifications in the interpretation of the formalism in order to obtain results equivalent to those found with the common relations.

Noether's theorem and dynamical groups in quantum mechanics

Octavio Castaños, Alejandro Frank, Ramón López–Peña

In contrast with the case of symmetry groups, no unique definition for the dynamical group generators of a given quantum Hamiltonian has been adopted in the literature. Following some work by Malkin and Man'ko (1965), Lipkin (1969), Dothan (1970) proposed a general definition based on the symmetry group of the corresponding time-dependent quantum mechanical equation of motion for the system. The authors show that this definition arises naturally from the quantum version of time dependent Noether symmetry transformations and derive the dynamical algebras for some simple examples.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Condensed States with Broken Symmetries

Anders B. Eriksson

This thesis concerns two topics where symmetry and strong correlations in time and space are important. The first topic is the theory of dynamical systems, and this theory deals with generic phenomena which are often convenient to study in very simple models. Dynamical systems can be divided in two basic classes: dissipative and conservative systems. Dissipation often effectively reduces the degrees of freedom in a dynamical system, and it is often sufficient to study low-dimensional models. An example is the one- dimensional circle map. The transition from ordered to chaotic motion in a circle map with extra symmetry is studied in Paper I using renormalization group techniques. Special emphasis is put into the possible breakdown of the extra symmetry. An example of a conservative system is a particle moving in a potential field, and typical for the dynamics is the large number of periodic trajectories. A particularly simple class of conservative systems is the integrable systems. In such a system there are continuous manifolds of marginally stable periodic orbits, which are divided into discrete sets of stable and unstable periodic orbits if the potential of the system is nonlinearly perturbed. In Paper II we demonstrate how the stable and unstable orbits in a quartic potential exchange stability several times as the strength of the nonlinear perturbation is increased. The second topic of this thesis is the ceramic high-temperature superconductors. Apart from being superconducting these materials show several other phases dependent on the doping. The 2-dimensional Hubbard model has been suggested as a highly simplified model for the electronic properties of these materials, and we study an extended version of this model at arbitrary temperature and doping using a theory capable of describing a rich variety of states simultaneously. Important is that we use no a priori assumptions of the state of the system. The high degree of freedom in the theory requires a group- theoretical treatment in order to classify the possible states, and this classification relies on the basic symmetries of the Hubbard model. Examples of states that we find are antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic, superconducting (s- and d-wave), charge density wave and spiral spin-wave states.

Integrability and nonintegrability of quantum systems: Quantum integrability and dynamical symmetry

Wei-Min Zhang, D.H. Feng, Jian‐Min Yuan +1 more

In this paper we discuss the concepts of quantum integrability and nonintegrability. Based on the concept of a complete set of commuting observables and the Hilbert-space structure of a quantum system, the definitions are given for the quantum-dynamical degrees of freedom and quantum phase space from which the quantum integrability is defined. A criterion for quantum integrability then emerges; the system is integrable if it possesses dynamical symmetry. Breaking of dynamical symmetry is connected with the nonintegrability of systems and thus is the inherent mechanism of chaotic motion. A number of examples are discussed.

Symmetry examples in open quantum dynamics

Thomas F. Jordan, San Ha Seo

Dependent symmetries, symmetries that depend on the situation of the subsystem in a larger closed system, are explored by looking at simple examples. This is a new kind of symmetry in the open quantum dynamics of a subsystem Each symmetry implies a particular form for the results of the open dynamics. The forms exhibit the symmetries very simply. It is shown directly, without assuming anything about the symmetry, that the dynamics produces the form, but knowing the symmetry and the form it implies can reduce what needs to be done to work out the dynamics; pieces can be deduced from the symmetry rather that calculated from the dynamics. Symmetries can be related to constants of the motion in new ways. A quantity might be a dependent constant of the motion, constant only for particular situations of the subsystem in the larger system. In particular, a generator of dependent symmetries could represent a quantity that is a dependent constant of the motion for the same situations as for the symmetries. The examples present a variety of possibilities. Sometimes a generator of dependent symmetries does represent a dependent constant of the motion. Sometimes it does not. Sometimes no quantity is a dependent constant of the motion. Sometimes every quantity is.

Integrability and chaos in quantum systems (as viewed from geometry and dynamical symmetry)

Wei-Min Zhang, D.H. Feng

It is known that the development and deep understanding of modern interaction theory and classical mechanics are made through geometry and symmetry. Yet, quantum mechanics which was regarded to be the microscopic theory of classical mechanics and achieved the crowning success in interpreting the entire microscopic world was developed purely from algebraic methods. In this thesis, we will study the geometry and dynamical symmetry in quantum systems, from which the question of integrability and chaos are explicitly addressed. First of all, the quantum dynamical degrees of freedom and quantum integrability are precisely defined and the inherent geometrical structure of quantum systems is explored from the fundamental structure of quantum theory. Such a geometrical structure can provide a framework to simultaneously build quantum and classical mechanics. The quantum-classical correspondence is then explicitly deduced. The dynamics of quantum system before it reaches the classical limit is formulated. Thus, the classical chaos is proven to be a special limiting phenomena of quantum systems and the dynamics before the system reaches its classical chaos is explored. The latter is the first step to seek the quantum manifestation of chaos. The relationship between integrability and dynamical symmetry are studied and some universal properties are discovered: a dynamical system (both quantum and classical) is integrable if it possesses a dynamical symmetry. Chaos will occur if the system undergoes a dynamical symmetry breaking and is accompanied by a structural phase transition. Thus, the concept of dynamical symmetry can be used to predict the general behaviors of a system. The theoretical underpinnings developed in this thesis are verified by many basic quantum mechanical examples. In the second part, we have applied the theory to construct the geometrical description for fermionic systems and then use this general formulation to study the geometrical properties, integrability and chaos in nuclear collective motions. The study of geometry for the fermion systems clearly show how the pure quantum properties (e.g. Pauli principle) are exhibited in geometry and how these geometrical manifestations can interpret experimental facts in nuclear collective motion (e.g. the satiation of nuclear deformation and narrow oblate window). The dynamical symmetry and dynamical symmetry breaking in nuclear collective motion are extensively studied.
