Transfer matrices for scalar fields on curved spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We apply Nelson’s technique of constructing Euclidean fields to the case of classical scalar fields on curved spaces. It is shown how to construct a transfer matrix and, for a class of metrics, the basic spectral properties of its generator are investigated. An application concerning decoupling of non-convex disjoint region is given.

متن کاملNon Positively Curved Metric in the Space of Positive Definite Infinite Matrices
We introduce a Riemannian metric with non positive curvature in the (infinite dimensional) manifold Σ∞ of positive invertible operators of a Hilbert space H, which are scalar perturbations of Hilbert-Schmidt operators. The (minimal) geodesics and the geodesic distance are computed. It is shown that this metric, which is complete, generalizes the well known non positive metric for positive defin...
متن کاملEvaluation of vacuum energy for tensor fields on spherical spaces
The effective one-loop potential on Rm+1 × SN spaces for massless tensor fields is evaluated. The Casimir energy is given as a value of ζ− function by means of which regularization is made. In evendimensional spaces the vacuum energy contains divergent terms coming from poles of ζ(s, q) at s = 1, whereas in odd-dimensional spaces it becomes finite. The appearance of divergent vacuum energy is o...
متن کاملTransport in curved nanoribbons in a magnetic field
We study the low-field and ballistic electronic transport in curved nanoribbons subject to static and uniform magnetic fields, where the curved nanoribbon is placed between two leads that inject scattering states. The method we present is based on a tight-binding form of the time-independent two-dimensional Schrödinger equation in curvilinear coordinates, with electric scalar and magnetic vecto...
متن کاملCasimir effects of nano objects in fluctuating scalar and electromagnetic fields: Thermodynamic investigating
Casimir entropy is an important aspect of casimir effect and at the nanoscale is visible. In this paper, we employ the path integral method to obtain a general relation for casimir entropy and internal energy of arbitrary shaped objects in the presence of two, three and four dimension scalar fields and the electromagnetic field. For this purpose, using Lagrangian and based on a perturb...
