• Spin degrees of freedom incorporated in conformal group: Introduction of an intrinsic momentum operator

  Seiichi Kuwata

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 034 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  Considering spin degrees of freedom incorporated in the conformal generators, we introduce an intrinsic momentum operator $\pi_\mu$, which is feasible for the Bhabha wave equation. If a physical state $\psi_{ph}$ for spin s is annihilated by the $\pi_\mu$, the degree of $\psi_{ph}$, deg $\psi_{ph}$, should equal twice the spin degrees of freedom, $2 ( 2 s + 1)$ for a massive particle, where the multiplicity $2$ indicates the chirality. The relation deg $\psi_{ph}$ = 2(2s+1) holds in the representation $R_5$ (s,s), irreducible representation of the Lorentz group in five dimensions.

• SO(1,3) Yang-Mills solutions on Minkowski space via cosets

  Kaushlendra Kumar

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 033 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We present a novel family of Yang-Mills solutions, with gauge group SO(1,3), on Minkowski space that are geometrically distinguished into two classes, viz. interior and exterior of the lightcone. We achieve this by foliating the former with SO(1,3)/SO(3) cosets and the latter with SO(1,3)/SO(1,2) cosets and analytically solving the Yang-Mills equation of an SO(1,3)-invariant gauge field. The resulting fields and their stress-energy tensor, when translated to the Minkowski space, diverge at the lightcone, but we demonstrate how this stress-energy tensor could be regularised due to its unique algebraic structure.

• Quantum cylindrical integrability in magnetic fields

  Ondřej Kubů, Libor Šnobl

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 032 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We present the classification of quadratically integrable systems of the cylindrical type with magnetic fields in quantum mechanics. Following the direct method used in classical mechanics by [F Fournier et al 2020 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53 085203] to facilitate the comparison, the cases which may a priori differ yield 2 systems without any correction and 2 with it. In all of them the magnetic field B coincides with the classical one, only the scalar potential W may contain a $\hbar^2$-dependent correction. Two of the systems have both cylindrical integrals quadratic in momenta and are therefore not separable. These results form a basis for a prospective study of superintegrability.

• Group invariants for Feynman diagrams

  Idrish Huet, Michel Rausch de Traubenberg, Christian Schubert

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 031 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  It is well-known that the symmetry group of a Feynman diagram can give important information on possible strategies for its evaluation, and the mathematical objects that will be involved. Motivated by ongoing work on multi-loop multi-photon amplitudes in quantum electrodynamics, here I will discuss the usefulness of introducing a polynomial basis of invariants of the symmetry group of a diagram in Feynman-Schwinger parameter space.

• Hyperquaternions and physics

  Patrick R. Girard, Romaric Pujol, Patrick Clarysse, Philippe Delachartre

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 030 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  The paper develops, within a new representation of Clifford algebras in terms of tensor products of quaternions called hyperquaternions, several applications. The first application is a quaternion 2D representation in contradistinction to the frequently used 3D one. The second one is a new representation of the conformal group in (1+2) space (signature $+--$) within the Dirac algebra $C_(2,3) \simeq $$\mathbb{C\otimes H\otimes H}$ subalgebra of $\mathbb{H\otimes H\otimes H}$. A numerical example and a canonical decomposition into simple planes are given. The third application is a classification of all hyperquaternion algebras into four types, providing the general formulas of the signatures and relating them to the symmetry groups of physics.

• Study of entanglement in symmetric multi-quDits systems through information diagrams

  Julio Guerrero, Antonio Sojo, Alberto Mayorgas, Manuel Calixto

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 029 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  Along this paper, we analyze the entanglement properties of symmetric multi-quDits systems in a special type of states created from the generalization to U(D) of the usual spin coherent states. By means of parity operators, we define what we call multicomponent Schrödinger cat states as parity adapted coherent states. Introducing the tool of information diagrams, i.e. representations of pairs of entropy measures, we analyze the correlation structure of this type of states and their M-wise reduced density matrices.

• An algebraic approach to intertwined quantum phase transitions in the Zr isotopes

  Noam Gavrielov

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 028 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  The algebraic framework of the interacting boson model with configuration mixing is employed to demonstrate the occurrence of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs) in the $_{40}$Zr isotopes with neutron number 52-70. The detailed quantum and classical analyses reveal a QPT of crossing normal and intruder configurations superimposed on a QPT of the intruder configuration from U(5) to SU(3) and a crossover from SU(3) to SO(6) dynamical symmetries.

• New perspectives in gravity-mediated supersymmetry breaking

  Robin Ducrocq

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 027 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  New solutions in supersymmetry breaking through gravity mediation have been recently discovered. Such solutions have interesting properties regarding renormalisation and introduce new contributions in the scalar potential that may help to resolve some issues of the Standard Model. The purpose of this article is to investigate the consequences of these new structures. We construct a model related to these new solutions, the S2MSSM, and present some preliminary results on the effects of these new contributions, especially on the Standard Model's Higgs boson mass.

• Linking ladder operators for the Rosen-Morse and Pöschl-Teller systems

  Simon Garneau-Desroches, Véronique Hussin

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 026 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  An analysis of the realizations of the ladder operators for the Rosen-Morse and Pöschl-Teller quantum systems is carried out. The failure of the algebraic method of construction in the general Rosen-Morse case is exposed and explained. We present the reduction of a recently obtained set of $(2n ± 1)$-th-order Rosen-Morse ladder operators to the usual first-order realization for the Pöschl-Teller case known in the literature.

• On old relations of Lie theory, classical geometry and gauge theory

  Rolf Dahm

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 14, 025 (2023) · published 24 November 2023 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  Having been led by hadron interactions and low-energy photoproduction to SU(4) and non-compact SU*(4) symmetry, the general background turned out to be projective geometry (PG) of $P^3$, or when considering line and Complex geometry to include gauge theory, aspects of $P^5$. Point calculus and its dual completion by planes introduced quaternary (quadratic) "invariants" $x_{\mu}x^{\mu}=0$ and $p_{\mu}p^{\mu}=0$, and put focus on the intermediary form $(xu)$ and its treatment. Here, the major result is the identification of the symmetric 20 of SU(4) comprising nucleon and Delta states as related to the quaternary cubic forms discussed by Hilbert in his work on full invariant systems. So PG determines geometrically the scene by representations (reps) and invariant theory without having to force affine restrictions and additional (spinorial or gauge) rep theory.
