نویسنده
چکیده
An extra term generally appears in the q-deformed su(2) algebra for the deformation parameter q = exp 2πiθ, if one combines the Biedenharn-Macfarlane construction of q-deformed su(2), which is a generalization of Schwinger’s construction of conventional su(2), with the representation of the q-deformed oscillator algebra which is manifestly free of negative norm. This extra term introduced by the requirement of positive norm is analogous to the Schwinger term in current algebra. Implications of this extra term on the Bloch electron problem analyzed by Wiegmann and Zabrodin are briefly discussed. The notion of q-deformed algebra[1], which was originally introduced in connection with the inverse scattering problem and the Yang-Baxter equation[2], is going to be a standard machinery of theoretical physics. For example, the q-deformed su(2) for q = exp iπP/Q with mutually prime integers P and Q found a very interesting physical application to the Bloch electrons in two-dimensional lattice model[3-5]. Also, the qdeformed oscillator algebra, which was introduced by Biedenharn[6] and Macfarlane[7] to construct the q-deformed su(2) in the manner of Schwinger’s construction of conventional su(2), found an interesting implication on the phase operator problem of the photon[8-9]: The real-positive deformation parameter q or q = exp 2πiθ with an irrational θ gives rise

Preequilibrium parton production following an ultrarelativistic nucleus– nucleus collision is studied in terms of the decay of a strong chromoelectric field which generates pairs through the Schwinger mechanism. Back-reaction of the partons with the field is included and a model transport equation containing a collision term is solved for the central rapidity region based on an approximation in...

A construction 1 of master field describing multicolour QCD is presented. The master fields for large N matrix theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields are quantized according q-deformed commutation relations with q = 0. These commutation relations are realized in the Boltzmannian Fock space. The master field for gauge theory does not take values in a finit...

We study the production and the equilibration of a non-Abelian q ¯ q plasma in an external chromoelectric field, by solving the Boltzmann equation with the non-Abelian features explicitly incorporated. We consider the gauge group SU (2) and show that the colour degree of freedom has a major and dominant role in the dynamics of the system. It is seen that the assumption of the so called Abelian ...
