Symmetries in discrete-time mechanics

چکیده

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.

Umbral Calculus, Difference Equations and the Discrete Schrödinger Equation

We discuss umbral calculus as a method of systematically discretizing linear differential equations while preserving their point symmetries as well as generalized symmetries. The method is then applied to the Schrödinger equation in order to obtain a realization of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in discrete space–time. In this approach a quantum system on a lattice has a symmetry algebra iso...

Hamilton Operators, Discrete Symmetries, Brute Force and SymbolicC++

Abstract To find the discrete symmetries of a Hamilton operator Ĥ is of central importance in quantum theory. Here we describe and implement a brute force method to determine the discrete symmetries given by permutation matrices for Hamilton operators acting in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Spin and Fermi systems are considered as examples. A computer algebra implementation in SymbolicC++...

The Symmetries of Equivalent Lagrangian Systems and Constants of Motion

In this paper Mathematical structure of time-dependent Lagrangian systems and their symmetries are extended and the explicit relation between constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries of time-dependent Lagrangian systems are considered. Starting point is time-independent Lagrangian systems ,then we extend mathematical concepts of these systems such as equivalent lagrangian systems to th...

D ec 1 99 6 Quasi - continuous symmetries of non - Lie type

We introduce a smooth mapping of some discrete space-time symmetries into quasi-continuous ones. Such transformations are related with q-deformations of the dilations of the Euclidean space and with the non-commutative space. We work out two examples of Hamiltonian invariance under such symmetries. The Schrödinger equation for a free particle is investigated in such a non-commutative plane and ...
