Scale symmetry in classical and quantum mechanics

چکیده
In this paper we address again the issue of the scale anomaly in quantum mechanical models with inverse square potential. In particular we examine the interplay between the classical and quantum aspects of the system using in both cases an operatorial approach.

Quantum–classical transition in scale relativity
The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows us to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) spacetime. The Schrödinger and Klein–Gordon equations are demonstrated as geodesic equations in this framework. A development of the intrinsic properties of this theory, using t...
متن کاملSymmetries in discrete-time mechanics
Based on a general formulation for discrete-time quantum mechanics, introduced in 1], symmetries in discrete-time quantum mechanics are investigated. It is shown that any classical continuous symmetry leads to a conserved quantity in classical mechanics, as well as quantum mechanics. The transformed wave function, however, has the correct evolution if and only if the symmetry is nonanomalous.
متن کاملMirroring as an A Priori Symmetry
A relationist will account for the use of leftand right in terms of relative orientations, and other properties and relations invariant under mirroring. This analysis will apply whenever mirroring is a symmetry, so it certainly applies to classical mechanics; we argue it applies to any physical theory formulated on a manifold: it is in this sense an a priori symmetry. It should apply in par...
متن کاملMechanical similarity as a generalization of scale symmetry
In this paper we study the symmetry known [1] as mechanical similarity (LMS) and present for any monomial potential. We analyze it in the framework of the Koopman-von Neumann formulation of classical mechanics and prove that in this framework the LMS can be given a canonical implementation. We also show that the LMS is a generalization of the scale symmetry which is present only for the inverse...
متن کاملScale Invariance, Self Similarity and Critical Behavior in Classical and Quantum Systems
Symmetry and self-affinity or scale invariance are related concepts. We explore the fractal properties of fluctuations in dynamical systems, using some of the available tools in the context of time series analysis. We carry out a power spectrum study in the Fourier domain, the method of detrended fluctuation analysis and the investigation of autocorrelation function behavior. Our study focuses ...
