چکیده
We formulate quantum mechanics in the two-dimensional torus without using position operators. We define an algebra with only momentum operators and shift operators and construct irreducible representation of the algebra. We show that it realizes quantum mechanics of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. We prove that any irreducible representation of the algebra is unitary equivalent to each other. This work provides a firm foundation for the noncommutative torus theory. PACS: 02.40.Gh; 03.65.Ca; 03.65.Fd; 04.60.Ds e-mail: [email protected] 1

Quantization on a torus without position operators

متن کاملGeodesic Multiplication and Quantum Kinematics in a Newtonian Spacetime
We consider a quantum test particle in the background of a Newtonian gravitational field in the framework of Cartan’s formulation of nonrelativistic spacetime. We have proposed a novel quantization of a point particle which amounts to introducing its position operators as multiplication with the corresponding Riemann normal coordinates and momentum operators as infinitesimal right translation o...
متن کاملParticle-Field Duality and Form Factors from Vertex Operators
Using a duality between the space of particles and the space of fields, we show how one can compute form factors directly in the space of fields. This introduces the notion of vertex operators, and form factors are vacuum expectation values of such vertex operators in the space of fields. The vertex operators can be constructed explicitly in radial quantization. Furthermore, these vertex operat...
متن کامل1 5 Ju n 20 09 Position - dependent noncommutativity in quantum mechanics
The model of the position-dependent noncommutativety in quantum mechanics is proposed. We start with a given commutation relations between the operators of coordinatesˆx i , ˆ x j = ω ij (ˆ x), and construct the complete algebra of commutation relations, including the operators of mo-menta. The constructed algebra is a deformation of a standard Heisenberg algebra and obey the Jacobi identity. T...
