We discuss application of Wigner–Weyl formalism to the lattice models of condensed matter physics and relativistic quantum field theory. For the noninteracting models our technique relates Wigner transformation of the fermionic Green’s function with the Weyl symbol QW of lattice Dirac operator. We take as an example of the model defined on rectangular lattice the model of Wilson fermions. It represents

On Nash theory of gravity with matter contents Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2021-01-20 Phongpichit Channuie; Davood Momeni; Mudhahir Al Ajmi
One of the alternative theories to Einstein’s general theory, a divergence-free theory was proposed by J. Nash with Lagrangian density given by 2RμνRμν−R2. Although it was proved that the Nash theory does not have classical Einstein limits, it has been proven to be formally divergent free and considered to be of interest in constructing theories of quantum gravity. The original Nash gravity without

Quantum kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formalism Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2021-01-15 Jian-Hua Gao; Zuo-Tang Liang; Qun Wang
We give a brief overview of the kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formalism. The chiral and spin kinetic equations can be derived from equations for Wigner functions. A general Wigner function has 16 components which satisfy 32 coupled equations. For massless fermions, the number of independent equations can be significantly reduced due to the decoupling of left-handed and right-handed

We evaluate the quantum expectation values in nonsimply connected spaces by using UV improved Green’s functions proposed by Padmanabhan, Abel, and Siegel. It is found that the results from these three types of Green’s functions behave similarly under changes of scales, but have minute differences. Prospects in further applications are briefly discussed.

Solution of the Dirac equation with exponential-type potential under the GUP Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2021-01-15 Lin-Fang Deng; He-Yao Zhang; Chao-Yun Long
In quantum gravity theories, when the scattering energy is comparable to the Planck energy, the usual Heisenberg uncertainty principle breaks down and is replaced by generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). In this paper, the Dirac equation is studied for a single particle with spin and pseudospin symmetry in the presence of GUP, in 3+1 dimensions. For arbitrary wave l≠0, the Dirac equation with multiparameter

We investigate the contributions of the Cartan generators in the static potentials for various representations in the framework of the domain model of center vortices for SU(3) gauge theory. Using the center domains with the cores corresponding to only one Cartan generator H8, already given as a particular proposal, leads to some concavities in the potentials for higher representations.

Challenges in string and supersymmetric cosmology Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2021-01-07 Ignatios Antoniadis; Auttakit Chatrabhuti
We discuss the possibility that inflation is driven by supersymmetry breaking with the superpartner of the goldstino (sgoldstino) playing the role of the inflaton. Imposing an R-symmetry allows to satisfy easily the slow-roll conditions, avoiding the so-called η-problem, and leads to an interesting class of small field inflation models, characterized by an inflationary plateau around the maximum of

Three regimes of QCD Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 L. Ya. Glozman
While the QCD Lagrangian as the whole is only chirally symmetric, its electric part has larger chiral-spin SU(2)CS and SU(2NF) symmetries. This allows separation of the electric and magnetic interactions in a given reference frame. Artificial truncation of the near-zero modes of the Dirac operator results in the emergence of the SU(2)CS and SU(2NF) symmetries in hadron spectrum. This implies that while

On the way towards quantum gravity and the unification of interaction, several ideas have been rejected and avenues avoided because they were perceived as physically unviable. But in the literature there are works in which it was found the contrary, namely that those rejected topics make sense after all. Such topics, reviewed in this paper, are negative energies occurring in higher derivative theories

Optical theorem and indefinite metric in λϕ4 delta-theory Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-20 Ricardo Avila; Carlos M. Reyes
A class of effective field theory called delta-theory, which improves ultraviolet divergences in quantum field theory, is considered. We focus on a scalar model with a quartic self-interaction term and construct the delta theory by applying the so-called delta prescription. We quantize the theory using field variables that diagonalize the Lagrangian, which include a standard scalar field and a ghost

Tests of Pauli exclusion principle violations from noncommutative quantum gravity Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-02 Andrea Addazi; Rita Bernabei
We review the main recent progresses in noncommutative space–time phenomenology in underground experiments. A popular model of noncommutative space–time is 𝜃-Poincaré model, based on the Groenewold–Moyal plane algebra. This model predicts a violation of the spin-statistic theorem, in turn implying an energy and angular dependent violation of the Pauli exclusion principle. Pauli exclusion principle

A modern guide to 𝜃-Poincaré Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-20 Andrea Addazi; Antonino Marcianò
Motivated by the recent interest in underground experiments phenomenology (see Refs. 1–3), we review the main aspects of one specific noncommutative space–time model, based on the Groenewold–Moyal plane algebra, the 𝜃-Poincaré space–time. In the 𝜃-Poincaré scenario, the Lorentz co-algebra is deformed introducing a noncommutativity of space–time coordinates. In such a theory, a new quantum field theory

Deep inelastic scattering in the target fragmentation region Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-20 Weihua Yang; Fei Huang
Deep inelastic scattering is one of the best place to study hadron structures. In this paper we consider the target fragmentation region deep inelastic scattering process at leading twist. The calculations are carried out by applying the collinear expansion. In the collinear expansion formalism the multiple gluon scattering is taken into account and gauge links are obtained systematically and automatically

Aspects of nonperturbative GUP models Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-02 Andrea Addazi; Homa Shababi
We review on further new developments of Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) and implications for the cosmological vacuum energy. First, we introduce basic aspects of GUP as well as several possible different and viable formulation of it. Second, we move on discussing two recent new types of higher D-dimensional nonperturbative GUP models; which we dub D-Type-I and D-Type-II GUPs. The D-Type-I

Time evolution of the free Dirac field in spatially flat FLRW space–times Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (IF 1.486) Pub Date : 2020-11-20 Ion I. Cotăescu
The framework of the relativistic quantum mechanics on spatially flat FLRW space–times is considered for deriving the analytical solutions of the Dirac equation in different local charts of these manifolds. Systems of commuting conserved operators are used for determining the fundamental solutions as common eigenspinors giving thus physical meaning to the integration constants related to the eigenvalues
