Corrections to the Emergent Canonical Commutation Relations Arising in the Statistical Mechanics of Matrix Models

چکیده
We study the leading corrections to the emergent canonical commutation relations arising in the statistical mechanics of matrix models, by deriving several related Ward identities, and give conditions for these corrections to be small. We show that emergent canonical commutators are possible only in matrix models in complex Hilbert space for which the numbers of fermionic and bosonic fundamental degrees of freedom are equal, suggesting that supersymmetry will play a crucial role. Our results simplify, and sharpen, those obtained earlier by Adler and Millard.

The uncertainty relations and the underlying canonical commutation relations are at the heart of quantum mechanics. In recent years, for various conceptual and technical reasons, there has been renewed interest in the question whether there may exist corrections to the canonical commutation relations which could be significant at extreme scales. Let me start with a brief (and certainly incomple...
متن کاملNonpointlike Particles in Harmonic Oscillators
Quantum mechanics ordinarily describes particles as being pointlike, in the sense that the uncertainty ∆x can, in principle, be made arbitrarily small. It has been shown that suitable correction terms to the canonical commutation relations induce a finite lower bound to spatial localisation. Here, we perturbatively calculate the corrections to the energy levels of an in this sense nonpointlike ...
متن کاملDiscrete Subgroups of the Poincaré Group
The framework of point form relativistic quantum mechanics is used to construct interacting four-momentum operators in terms of creation and annihilation operators of underlying constituents. It is shown how to write the creation and annihilation operators in terms of discrete momenta, arising from discrete subgroups of the Lorentz group, in such a way that the Poincaré commutation relations ar...
متن کاملExact Discrete Analogs of Canonical Commutation and Uncertainty Relations
An exact discretization of the canonical commutation and corresponding uncertainty relations are suggested. We prove that the canonical commutation relations of discrete quantum mechanics, which is based on standard finite difference, holds for constant wave functions only. In this paper, we use the recently proposed exact discretization of derivatives, which is based on differences that are re...
متن کاملGeneral Dynamical Features of the Generalised Commutation
We study the dynamical features of the generalised commutation relations, derived uniquely by Maggiore. We focus on their generality and, in particular, their dependence on the Hamiltonian H . We derive the generalisation of the Planck’s law for black body spectrum, study the statistical mechanics of free particles, and study the early universe evolution which now exhibits non trivial features....
