Charge conjugation invariance of the Spectator Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
In response to recent critcism, we show how to define the spectator equations for negative energies so that charge conjugation invariance is preserved. The result, which emerges naturally from the application of spectator principles to systems of particles with negative energies, is to replace all factors of the external energies Wi by √ W 2 i , insuring that the amplitudes are independent of the sign of the energies Wi.

Remarks on Possible Noninvariance under Time Reversal and Charge Conjugation
'N a recent paper' the question has been raised as ~ to whether the weak interactions are invariant under a space inversion. It was also pointed out there that similar to the situation for space inversion there exists at present no experimental proof that weak interactions are invariant under charge conjugation. Consequently the absolute invariance under charge conjugation is also an open quest...
متن کاملSelection Rules Imposed by Charge Conjugation and Charge Symmetry
It is found that the invariance with respect to charge conjugation and charge symmetry combined leads to selection rules, additional to those following from covariance and gauge invariance arguments. Besides rigorous selection rules which hold for certain processes involving neutral particles (mesons and photons} only, there exist weak selection rules according to which certain boson-boson tran...
متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملA note on C-Parity Conservation and the Validity of Orientifold Planar Equivalence
We analyze the possibility of a spontaneous breaking of C-invariance in gauge theories with fermions in vector-like — but otherwise generic — representations of the gauge group. QCD, supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, and orientifold field theories, all belong to this class. We argue that charge conjugation is not spontaneously broken as long as Lorentz invariance is maintained. Uniqueness of th...
متن کاملLorentz covariance of three - dimensional equations
We show how the invariance under the charge conjugation and CPT symmetry, present in the Bethe-Salpeter equation, is lost in the reduction to certain relativistic three-dimensional equations. This in particular leads to the breakdown of the standard Lorentz structure and renormalization procedures for the resulting single-particle propagators. We formulate the equal-time approximation of the Be...
