نویسنده
چکیده
As Einstein's E = mc 2 unifies the energy-momentum relation for massive and massless particles, Wigner's little group unifies their internal space-time symmetries. It is pointed out that translational symmetries play essential roles both in formulating the problem, and in deriving the conclusions. The input translational symmetry is the space-time translation, and the output translational symmetry is built in the E(2)-like little group for massless particles. The translational degrees of freedom in this little group are gauge degrees of freedom. It should be noted that a number of condensed matter physicists played important supporting and supplementary roles in Wigner's unification of internal space-time symmetries of massive and massless particles.

We introduce the phase model on a lattice and solve it using the algebraic Bethe ansatz. Time-dependent temperature correlation functions of phase operators and the " darkness formation probability " are calculated in the thermodynamical limit. These results can be used to construct integrable equations for the correlation functions and to calculate their asymptotics.

The vortex-vortex and vortex-antivortex correlation functions are determined for the two-dimensional O(2) model undergoing phase ordering. We find reasonably good agreement with simulation results for the vortex-vortex correlation function where there is a short-scaled distance depletion zone due to the repulsion of like-signed vortices. The vortex-antivortex correlation function agrees well wi...

Two integral solutions of q-difference equations of the hypergeometric type with |q| = 1 are constructed by using the double sine function. One is an integral of the Barnes type and the other is of the Euler type.
