On the Vortex-point Charge Composite: Classical Orbits and Quantum Bound States
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility of composite systems arising out of a point charge interacting with a Nielsen-Olesen vortex in 2+1-dimensions is investigated. It is shown that classical bounded orbits are possible for certain ranges of parameters. Long lived metastable states are shown to exist, in a semi-classical approach, from the study of the effective potential. Loss of self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian and its subsequent self-adjoint extension in some cases leads to bound states.

Classical and Quantum Dynamics of a Periodically Driven Particle in a Triangular Well
We investigate the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics for periodically time dependent Hamiltonian systems, using the example of a periodically forced particle in a one-dimensional triangular well potential. In particular, we consider quantum mechanical Floquet states associated with resonances in the classical phase space. When the classical motion exhibits subharmonic reson...
متن کاملPinning and transport of cyclotron (Landau) orbits by electromagnetic vortices
Electromagnetic waves with phase defects in the form of vortex lines combined with a constant magnetic field are shown to pin down cyclotron orbits Landau orbits in the quantum mechanical setting of charged particles at the location of the vortex. This effect manifests itself in classical theory as a trapping of trajectories and in quantum theory as a Gaussian shape of the localized wave functi...
متن کاملQuasiparticles in the 111 state and its compressible ancestors
We investigate the relationship of the spontaneously interlayer coherent ‘‘111’’ state of quantum Hall bilayers at total filling factor n51 to ‘‘mutual’’ composite fermions, in which vortices in one layer are bound to electrons in the other. Pairing of the mutual composite fermions leads to the low-energy properties of the 111 state, as we explicitly demonstrate using field-theoretic techniques...
متن کامل2 An Exotic Particle Model with a Coulomb and a Magnetic Vortex Interaction
We consider the Lagrangian particle model introduced in [1] for zero mass but nonvanishing second central charge of the planar Galilei group. Extended by a magnetic vortex or a Coulomb potential the model exibits conformal symmetry. In the former case we observe an additional SO(2, 1) hidden symmetry. By either a canonical transformation with constraints or by freezing scale and special conform...
متن کاملReduction of the planar 4-vortex system at zero momentum
The system of four point vortices in the plane has relative equilibria that behave as composite particles, in the case where three of the vortices have strength −Γ/3 and one of the vortices has strength Γ. These relative equilibria occur at nongeneric momenta. The reduction of this system, at those momenta, by continuous and then discrete symmetries, classifies the 4-vortex states which have be...
