PT-symetrické modely v kvantové fyzice:
novinky z konference (Stellenbosch, listopad 2005)
January 12, 2006 Physics Institute, Prague 2
Otázka první: No jo, novinky,
ale v jaké oblasti fyziky?
Odpověď (v uspořádání podle řečníků):
Scholz, Geyer, Heiss: jaderná fyzika Mostafazadeh: relativistická QM Bender: teorie pole a kosmologie Berry: optika Günther: magnetohydrodynamika a další: statistika,nelin.f.,SUSY,atom.f.
January 12, 2006 Physics Institute, Prague 3
Otázka druhá: jestliže novinky, pak napřed to nejzajímavější
Uspořádání vyjde skoro stejně: Scholz, Geyer: o jednoznačnosti Θ Mostafazadeh: klasická limita PTSQM Bender: usnadnění regularizace Feyn.d. Berry, Ahmed: singularity, wedge-edge Günther, Kirillov: okolí EP, klasifikace Jones: Thirring, sine-Gordon (+rand.m.)
January 12, 2006 Physics Institute, Prague 4
Napřed ale krátká rekapitulace PTT: nehermitovské H – levé a pravé stavy matem.: nutnost dokázat realitu spektra modif. Dir. značení: << L | a | R > biorthogonalita, bi-úplnost, spektr.repr. cíl: fyzika. Potřeba vybrat metriku Ө a inovovat principy korespondence; v tomto smyslu je PT pouhá technikalita
January 12, 2006 Physics Institute, Prague 5
No a teď k prvnímu tématu:
připomínám: jedná se o starý problém nejednoznačnosti Θ s jadernou motivací v Dysonově IBM trfci herm. -> neherm.
hlavní výhoda: zjednodušení výpočtů hlavní pokrok: Scholz (anglicky: PTO)
