چکیده
In this paper we prove in a rigorous mathematical way (using the Clifford bundle formalism) that the energies and momenta of two distinct and arbitrary free Maxwell fields (of finite energies and momenta) that are superposed are additive and thus that there is no incompatibility between the principle of superposition of fields and the principle of energy-momentum conservation, contrary to some recent claims. Our proof depends on a noticeable formula for the energy-momentum densities, namely, Riesz formula ⋆T a = 1 2 ⋆ (FθF̃ ), which is valid for any electromagnetic field configuration F satisfying Maxwell equation ∂F= 0.

Following Ehrenfest's approach, the problem of quantum-classical correspondence can be treated in the class of trajectory-coherent functions that approximate as → 0 a quantum-mechanical state. This idea leads to a family of systems of ordinary differential equations, called Ehrenfest M-systems (M = 0, 1, 2,. . .), formally equivalent to the semiclassical approximation for the linear Schrödinger...

We determine the topological susceptibility in the SU(3) pure gauge theory. We perform a series of high-statistics lattice studies and take the combined continuum and infinite volume limit. We find χtopr 4 0 = 0.0524(7)(6), which translates into χ 1/4 top = 193(1)(8)MeV with the second error exclusively due to the intrinsic scale ambiguity.
