On the applications of Hardy class functions in scattering theory

Abstract

This paper is a response to an article (R. de la Madrid, Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 39,9255-9268 (2006)) recently published in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical. The article claims that the theory of resonances and decaying states based on certain rigged Hilbert spaces of Hardy functions is physically untenable. In this paper we show that all of the key conclusions of the cited article are the result of either the errors in mathematical reasoning or an inadequate understanding of the literature on the subject.

Logarithmic lightcones in the multiparticle Anderson model with sparse interactions

We prove that the dynamics of the one-dimensional $ XY $ model with random magnetic field perturbed by a sparse set of $ ZZ $ terms with a large coupling constant $ Δ$ gives rise to Lieb-Robinson (L-R) bounds with a logarithmic lightcone and amplitude proportional to $ Δ^{-1} $. These spin systems are equivalent to a set of spinless lattice fermions subjected to a random on site potential and sparse density-density interactions. In the absence of the random magnetic field we also obtain a suppression of the L-R bounds as $ Δ^{-1} $. To obtain these results we prove a theorem about the effect of compactly supported time-dependent perturbations on the L-R bound of a generic local time-dependent one-dimensional spin systems. Adopting the interaction picture of the dynamics, the large and sparse $ ZZ $ perturbations of the $ XY $ model, with or without disorder, are mapped into high-frequency periodic perturbations. All our results are non-perturbative.

Dynamic Doppler Effects on Dirac Spinor Fields

We derive the dynamic Doppler effects of noninertial observer motion on Dirac spinor fields in 4D spacetime, characterizing how proper acceleration, proper jolt (also known as jerk), observer path curvature, torsion, and hyper-torsion modify the inertial quantum description of free particles. We delineate the impacts of nonlinear observer motion on the amplitude and phase of the Dirac spinor wave field and isolate the spin-induced signatures that have no counterpart in the scalar Klein-Gordon field. For worldlines with constant proper jolt, the wave-field amplitude scales with quadratic rapidity. The complex Frenet-Serret curvature invariants generate both an exponential amplitude factor and a spin-induced phase factor. Spinor structure therefore produces an observable dynamic Doppler signature distinct from any scalar prediction. We analyze the effects of proper jolt and nonlinear rapidity on quantized Dirac fields in the context of acceleration-induced $β^+$-decay and derive the instantaneous decay rate, an equivalent of decay rate for non-stationary motions. This work provides new insight for noninertial-proton $β^+$-decay and a general framework for testable variable-rapidity Unruh predictions.

Local Determinant Defects and Low-Energy Subspace Stability in Semifinite von Neumann Algebras

We give a finite-temperature test for the stability of low-energy spectral subspaces. The test uses a local determinant defect for the alpha-z Renyi kernel of two Gibbs states and bounds the tracial L2 distance between their low-energy projections. The main tool is a spectral-flattening principle for bounded positive injective operators in a semifinite von Neumann algebra. It reduces the local product defect to an exact two-projection formula. The thermal result applies to lower-bounded affiliated Hamiltonians with trace-class Gibbs operators and does not require the Hamiltonians to be close in operator norm. We give an infinite-level example with unbounded Hamiltonians. For matrices, the result gives a sum of principal-angle remainders. For qubits, the defect and the thermal gaps determine the ground-state overlap exactly. The same estimate gives a uniform error bound for bounded observables in an effective low-energy model. We also prove the determinant inequalities, their equality cases, and z-monotonicity in matrix, finite, and semifinite settings.
