Geometric Entropy, Wave Functionals, and Fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop techniques for calculating the ground state wave functional and the geometric entropy for some simple field theories. Special attention is devoted to fermions, which present special technical difficulties in this regard. Explicit calculations are carried through for free mass bosons and fermions in two dimensions, using an adaptation of Unruh’s technique to treat black hole radiance.

The Schrödinger Representation for Fermions and a Local Expansion of the Schwinger Model
We discuss the functional representation of fermions, and obtain exact expressions for wave-functionals of the Schwinger model. Known features of the model such as bosonization and the vacuum angle arise naturally. Contrary to expectations, the vacuum wave-functional does not simplify at large distances, but it may be reconstructed as a large time limit of the Schrödinger functional, which has ...
متن کاملThe Entropy of Lagrange–Finsler Spaces and Ricci Flows
We formulate a statistical analogy of regular Lagrange mechanics and Finsler geometry derived from Grisha Perelman’s functionals and generalized for nonholonomic Ricci flows. Explicit constructions are elaborated when nonholonomically constrained flows of Riemann metrics result in Finsler like configurations, and inversely, when geometric mechanics is modelled on Riemann spaces with a preferred...
متن کاملGeometric entropy of nonrelativistic fermions and two-dimensional strings.
We consider the geometric entropy of free nonrelativistic fermions in two dimensions and show that it is ultraviolet finite for finite fermi energies, but divergent in the infrared. In terms of the corresponding collective field theory this is a nonperturbative effect and is related to the soft behaviour of the usual thermodynamic entropy at high temperatures. We then show that thermodynamic en...
متن کاملA New Method for Root Detection in Minirhizotron Images: Hypothesis Testing Based on Entropy-Based Geometric Level Set Decision
In this paper a new method is introduced for root detection in minirhizotron images for root investigation. In this method firstly a hypothesis testing framework is defined to separate roots from background and noise. Then the correct roots are extracted by using an entropy-based geometric level set decision function. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on real captured images in tw...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
