Package 'Hadron' Package ‘hadron’ September 10, 2020 Version 3.1.2 Date 2020-09-09 Title Analysis Framework for Monte Carlo Simulation Data in Physics SystemRequirements Gnu Scientific Library version >= 1.8 Description Toolkit to perform statistical analyses of correlation functions generated from Lattice Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, a class 'cf' for correlation functions and methods to analyse those are defined. This includes (blocked) bootstrap (based on the 'boot' package) and jackknife, but also an automatic determination of integrated autocorrelation times. 'hadron' also provides a very general function bootstrap.nlsfit() to bootstrap a non-linear least squares fit. More specific functions are provided to extract hadronic quantities from Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics simulations, a particular Monte Carlo simulation,(see e.g. European Twisted Mass Collaboration, P. Boucaud et al. (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2008.06.013>). Here, to determine energy eigenvalues of hadronic states, specific fitting routines and in particular the generalised eigenvalue method (see e.g. B. Blossier et al. (2009) <doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2009/04/094> and M. Fischer et al. (2020) <https://inspirehep.net/literature/1792113>) are implemented. In addition, input/output and plotting routines are available.

  • Clifford Algebras, Spinors and Supersymmetry. Francesco Toppan
    IV Escola do CBPF – Rio de Janeiro, 15-26 de julho de 2002 Algebraic Structures and the Search for the Theory Of Everything: Clifford algebras, spinors and supersymmetry. Francesco Toppan CCP - CBPF, Rua Dr. Xavier Sigaud 150, cep 22290-180, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil abstract These lectures notes are intended to cover a small part of the material discussed in the course “Estruturas algebricas na busca da Teoria do Todo”. The Clifford Algebras, necessary to introduce the Dirac’s equation for free spinors in any arbitrary signature space-time, are fully classified and explicitly constructed with the help of simple, but powerful, algorithms which are here presented. The notion of supersymmetry is introduced and discussed in the context of Clifford algebras. 1 Introduction The basic motivations of the course “Estruturas algebricas na busca da Teoria do Todo”consisted in familiarizing graduate students with some of the algebra- ic structures which are currently investigated by theoretical physicists in the attempt of finding a consistent and unified quantum theory of the four known interactions. Both from aesthetic and practical considerations, the classification of mathematical and algebraic structures is a preliminary and necessary require- ment. Indeed, a very ambitious, but conceivable hope for a unified theory, is that no free parameter (or, less ambitiously, just few) has to be fixed, as an external input, due to phenomenological requirement. Rather, all possible pa- rameters should be predicted by the stringent consistency requirements put on such a theory. An example of this can be immediately given. It concerns the dimensionality of the space-time.

  • 5 the Dirac Equation and Spinors
    5 The Dirac Equation and Spinors In this section we develop the appropriate wavefunctions for fundamental fermions and bosons. 5.1 Notation Review The three dimension differential operator is : ∂ ∂ ∂ = , , (5.1) ∂x ∂y ∂z We can generalise this to four dimensions ∂µ: 1 ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ = , , , (5.2) µ c ∂t ∂x ∂y ∂z 5.2 The Schr¨odinger Equation First consider a classical non-relativistic particle of mass m in a potential U. The energy-momentum relationship is: p2 E = + U (5.3) 2m we can substitute the differential operators: ∂ Eˆ i pˆ i (5.4) → ∂t →− to obtain the non-relativistic Schr¨odinger Equation (with = 1): ∂ψ 1 i = 2 + U ψ (5.5) ∂t −2m For U = 0, the free particle solutions are: iEt ψ(x, t) e− ψ(x) (5.6) ∝ and the probability density ρ and current j are given by: 2 i ρ = ψ(x) j = ψ∗ ψ ψ ψ∗ (5.7) | | −2m − with conservation of probability giving the continuity equation: ∂ρ + j =0, (5.8) ∂t · Or in Covariant notation: µ µ ∂µj = 0 with j =(ρ,j) (5.9) The Schr¨odinger equation is 1st order in ∂/∂t but second order in ∂/∂x. However, as we are going to be dealing with relativistic particles, space and time should be treated equally. 25 5.3 The Klein-Gordon Equation For a relativistic particle the energy-momentum relationship is: p p = p pµ = E2 p 2 = m2 (5.10) · µ − | | Substituting the equation (5.4), leads to the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation: ∂2 + 2 ψ = m2ψ (5.11) −∂t2 The free particle solutions are plane waves: ip x i(Et p x) ψ e− · = e− − · (5.12) ∝ The Klein-Gordon equation successfully describes spin 0 particles in relativistic quan- tum field theory.

So this inner product is positive definite. A vector space with a positive-definite inner product (1.73–1.76) is called an inner-product space,ametric space, or a pre-Hilbert space. A sequence of vectors fn is a Cauchy sequence if for every ϵ>0 there is an integer N(ϵ) such that ∥fn − fm∥ <ϵwhenever both n and m exceed N(ϵ). A sequence of vectors fn converges to a vector f if for every ϵ>0 there is an integer N(ϵ) such that ∥f −fn∥ <ϵwhenever n exceeds N(ϵ). An inner-product space with a norm defined as in (1.80) is complete if each of its Cauchy sequences converges to a vector in that space. A Hilbert space is a complete inner-product space. Every finite-dimensional inner-product space is complete and so is a Hilbert space. But the term Hilbert space more often is used to describe infinite-dimensional complete inner-product spaces, such as the space of all square-integrable functions (David Hilbert, 1862–1943). Example 1.17 (The Hilbert Space of Square-Integrable Functions) For the vector space of functions (1.55), a natural inner product is b (f,g)= dx f ∗(x)g(x). (1.88) "a The squared norm ∥ f ∥ of a function f(x)is b ∥ f ∥2= dx |f(x)|2.

It is the most expensive part in overall computation time of a lattice simulation with dynamical fermions because it is done many times. Actually the computation of the quark propagator, i.e. the inverse of the Dirac 10 operator, is already necessary to compute a simple 2pts correlation function from which one extracts a hadron mass or its decay constant: indeed that correlation function is roughly the trace (in the matricial language) of the product of 2 such propagators.

  • Exact Solutions of a Dirac Equation with a Varying CP-Violating Mass Profile and Coherent Quasiparticle Approximation
    Exact solutions of a Dirac equation with a varying CP-violating mass profile and coherent quasiparticle approximation Olli Koskivaara Master’s thesis Supervisor: Kimmo Kainulainen November 30, 2015 Preface This thesis was written during the year 2015 at the Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä. I would like to express my utmost grat- itude to my supervisor Professor Kimmo Kainulainen, who guided me through the subtle path laid out by this intriguing subject, and provided me with my first glimpses of research in theoretical physics. I would also like to thank my fellow students for the countless number of versatile conversations on physics and beyond. Finally, I wish to thank my family and Ida-Maria for their enduring and invaluable support during the entire time of my studies in physics. i Abstract In this master’s thesis the phase space structure of a Wightman function is studied for a temporally varying background. First we introduce coherent quasiparticle approximation (cQPA), an approximation scheme in finite temperature field theory that enables studying non-equilibrium phenom- ena. Using cQPA we show that in non-translation invariant systems the phase space of the Wightman function has in general structure beyond the traditional mass-shell particle- and antiparticle-solutions. This novel structure, describing nonlocal quantum coherence between particles, is found to be living on a zero-momentum k0 = 0 -shell. With the knowledge of these coherence solutions in hand, we take on a problem in which such quantum coherence effects should be promi- nent. The problem, a Dirac equation with a complex and time-dependent mass profile, is manifestly non-translation invariant due to the temporal variance of the mass, and is in addition motivated by electroweak baryo- genesis.

The gamma-matrices satisfy the Clifford algebra fγµ; γνg = 2gµν: (1) The significance of the Clifford algebra is that it induces a representation of the Lorentz algebra as follows: Consider the set of matrices i σµν = [γµ; γν]: (2) 2 These satisfy the relation [σµν; σαβ] = 2i gµβσνα + gνασµβ − gµασνβ − gνβσµα (3) as a consequence of the Clifford algebra and thus form a representation of the Lorentz algebra, as promised (cf. Assignment 1, Exercise 1). Give the four-dimensional representation of the gamma-matrices introduced in the lecture and check explicitly that they satisfy (1) as well as γ0 = (γ0)y; γi = −(γi)y: (4) 0 1 2 3 b.) The matrix γ5 is defined as γ5 = iγ γ γ γ . Without using a concrete represen- tation of the gamma-matrices, prove that γ5 = (γ5)y; (γ5)2 = 1; fγ5; γµg = 0: (5) 2 The Dirac spinor a.) A Dirac spinor is defined by its properties under Lorentz transformations. Give these properties in terms of the matrix i S(Λ) = exp(− σµν! ): (6) 4 µν What's the difference between the transformation of a vector and a Dirac spinor?

Argue that this is the infinitesimal version of the more general relation −1 µ −1 µ ν S (Λ)γ S (Λ) = Λ νγ : (8) b.) The Dirac equation for a spinor field of mass m is µ (iγ @µ − m) (x) = 0: (9) Transform this equation into a new frame x0 = Λx and show that if (x) satisfies the Dirac equation in the original frame, then 0(x0) does so in the new frame.

  • Dirac Fermions on Rotating Space-Times
    DIRAC FERMIONS ON ROTATING SPACE-TIMES VICTOR EUGEN AMBRUS, PhD thesis Supervisor: Prof. Elizabeth Winstanley School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Sheffield December 2014 Abstract Quantum states of Dirac fermions at zero or finite temperature are investigated using the point-splitting method in Minkowski and anti-de Sitter space-times undergoing rotation about a fixed axis. In the Minkowski case, analytic expressions presented for the thermal expectation values (t.e.v.s) of the fermion condensate, parity violating neutrino current and stress-energy tensor show that thermal states diverge as the speed of light surface (SOL) is approached. The divergence is cured by enclosing the rotating system inside a cylinder located on or inside the SOL, on which spectral and MIT bag boundary conditions are considered. For anti-de Sitter space-time, renormalised vacuum expectation values are calcu- lated using the Hadamard and Schwinger-de Witt methods. An analytic expression for the bi-spinor of parallel transport is presented, with which some analytic expres- sions for the t.e.v.s of the fermion condensate and stress-energy tensor are obtained. Rotating states are investigated and it is found that for small angular velocities Ω of the rotation, there is no SOL and the thermal states are regular everywhere on the space-time. However, if Ω is larger than the inverse radius of curvature of adS, an SOL forms and t.e.v.s diverge as inverse powers of the distance to it. ii Contents Abstract ii Table of contents iii List of figures viii List of tables xvi Preface xvii 1 Introduction 1 2 General concepts 4 2.1 The quantised scalar field .

These rules imply γµ γν = γνγµ ,µ= ν µ 2 −µν # (γ ) = g I4 4 . × Thus, Dirac matrices anticommute if their indices are different, while 0 the square of γ is +I4 4 (the four-by-four identity matrix), while the × 6 square of any of the “spatial” gammas is I4 4.

By using the anticommutation relations (5), we can reduce the power • of any monomial involving more than four γ’s, since in this case, at least two must be the same, and any pair can be “anticommuted” past other gammas to give a square, which results in 1 times the monomial without the pair.

In particular, we establish the precise map between fluxes, gaugings of maximal 4d supergrav- ity and EGG, identifying the complete set of gaugings that admit an uplift to 10d heterotic or type IIB supegravity backgrounds. Our results reveal a rich structure, involving new deformations of 10d supergravity backgrounds, such as the RR counterparts of the β- deformation. These new deformations are expected to provide the natural extension of the β-deformation to full-fledged F-theory backgrounds. Our analysis also provides some clues on the 10d origin of some of the particularly less well understood gaugings of 4d supergrav- ity. Finally, we derive the explicit expression for the effective superpotential in arbitrary = 1 heterotic or type IIB orientifold compactifications, for all the allowed

  • Jordan Wigner Transformations and Quantum Spin Systems on Graphs
    LMU M T U M . E B TMP eoretical and Mathematical Physics Master’s Thesis Jordan Wigner Transformations and antum Spin Systems on Graphs Tobias Ried Thesis Adviser: Prof. Dr. Simone Warzel . Submission Date: 31st August 2013 First Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Simone Warzel Second Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Peter Müller Thesis Defence: 9th September 2013 A e Jordan Wigner transformation is an important tool in the study of one- dimensional quantum spin systems. Aer reviewing the one-dimensional Jordan Wigner transformation, generalisations to graphs are discussed. As a first res- ult it is proved that the occurrence of statistical gauge fields in the transformed Hamiltonian is related to the structure of the graph. To avoid the difficulties caused by statistical gauge fields, an indirect transformation due to W and S is introduced and applied to a particular quantum spin system on a square laice – the constrained Gamma matrix model. In a random exterior magnetic field, a locality estimate on the Heisenberg evolution – a zero-velocity Lieb Robinson type bound in disorder average – is proved for the constrained Gamma matrix model, using localisation results for the two-dimensional Ander- son model. A Firstly, I would like to thank Professor Simone Warzel for supervising this thesis. roughout my studies of physics and mathematical physics, her enthu- siasm for those subjects has been a constant source of inspiration. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and support. I am also indebted to Professor Peter Müller who agreed to second review my thesis. For leing me use one of his group’s offices, which enormously facilitated the writing process, I am thankful to Professor Jan von Del.
