Lorentz-invariant Quantum Fields in the Space-time Tangent Bundle
A maximal-acceleration invariant quantum field is defined on the space-time tangent bundle with vanishing eigenvalue when acted on by the Laplace-Beltrami operator of the bundle, and the case is addressed in which the space-time is Minkowskian, and the field is Lorentz invariant. In this case, the field is shown to be automatically regularized at the Planck scale, and particle spectra are cut o...
متن کاملPropagation-invariant wave fields with finite energy.
Propagation invariance is extended in the paraxial regime, leading to a generalized self-imaging effect. These wave fields are characterized by a finite number of transverse self-images that appear, in general, at different orientations and scales. They possess finite energy and thus can be accurately generated. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived, and they are appropriately represe...
متن کاملFree-space propagation of optical coherence lattices and periodicity reciprocity.
We examine paraxial propagation of recently introduced optical coherence lattices in free space and demonstrate a novel phenomenon of periodicity reciprocity between their intensity and coherence properties. The periodicity reciprocity arises because an aperiodic source intensity profile of an optical coherence lattice evolves into a lattice-like far-field profile, while the periodic spectral d...
متن کاملSpace - Time Invariant States of the Ideal
We study systems of classical point particles in d-dimensional Eu-clidean space. Using a result of O. Kallenberg we prove that probability measures , which (i) are translation-invariant, (ii) are stationary under the ideal gas dynamics, (iii) have a nite number of particles, energy, and entropy per unit volume, are in fact a convex combination of Poisson measures.
متن کاملFields and Objects in Space, Time, and Space-time
The well-known distinction between field-based and object-based approaches to spatial information is generalised to arbitrary locational frameworks, including in particular space, time and space-time. We systematically explore the different ways in which these approaches can be combined, and address the relative merits of a fully four-dimensional approach as against a more conventional ‘three-p...
