Anyons as Spin Particles: from Classical Mechanics to Field Theory
(2+1)-dimensional relativistic fractional spin particles are considered within the framework of the group-theoretical approach to anyons starting from the level of classical mechanics and concluding by the construction of the minimal set of linear differential field equations. Talk given at the Conference “Theories of Fundamental Interactions”, Maynooth, Ireland, May 1995; to be published in “T...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics as a Classical Theory XV : Thermodynamical Derivation
We present in this continuation paper a new axiomatic derivation of the Schrödinger equation from three basic postulates. This new derivation sheds some light on the thermodynamic character of the quantum formalism. We also show the formal connection between this derivation and the one previously done by other means. Some considerations about metaestability are also drawn. We return to an examp...
متن کامل4-dimensional Bf Theory as a Topological Quantum Field Theory
Starting from a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is equipped with an invariant nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, we show that 4-dimensional BF theory with cosmological term gives rise to a TQFT satisfying a generalization of Atiyah's axioms to manifolds equipped with principal G-bundle. The case G = GL(4; R) is especially interesting because every 4-manifold is then naturally equipped with a ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics as a Classical Theory XI: Thermodynamics and Equilibrium
In this continuation paper the theory is further extended to reveal the connection between its formal aparatus, dealing with microscopic quantities, and the formal aparatus of thermodynamics, related to macroscopic properties of large systems. We will also derive the Born-Sommerfeld quantization rules from the formalism of the infinitesimal Wigner-Moyal transformations and, as a consequence of ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics as a Classical Theory XII: Diffraction and Interference
In this paper we will be concerned with the explanation of the interference and diffraction patterns observed as an outcome of the Young double slit experiment. We will show that such explanation may be given only in terms of a corpuscular theory, which has been our approach since the first paper of this series. This explanation will be accomplished with an extension we make here of the domain ...
