Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization and meson spectroscopy

چکیده
We use the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization approach in the context of constituent quark models. This method provides, for the Cornell potential, analytical formulas for the energy spectra which closely approximate numerical exact calculations performed with the Schrödinger or the spinless Salpeter equations. The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization procedure can also be used to calculate other observables such as the rms radius or wave function at the origin. The asymptotic dependence of these observables on quantum numbers is also obtained in the case of potentials which behave asymptotically as a power law. We discuss the constraints imposed by these formulas on the dynamics of the quark-antiquark interaction.

Locally toric manifolds and singular Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves
When geometric quantization is applied to a manifold using a real polarization which is “nice enough”, a result of Śniatycki says that the quantization can be found by counting certain objects, called BohrSommerfeld leaves. Subsequently, several authors have taken this as motivation for counting Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves when studying the quantization of manifolds which are less “nice”. In this pa...
متن کاملBohr-sommerfeld Star Products
We relate the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions established in λ-microlocal analysis to formal deformation quantization of symplectic manifolds by classifying star products adapted to some Lagrangian sub-manifold L, i.e. products preserving the classical vanishing ideal IL of L up to IL-preserving equivalences.

متن کاملDiscreteness of the volume of space from Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization.
A major challenge for any theory of quantum gravity is to quantize general relativity while retaining some part of its geometrical character. We present new evidence for the idea that this can be achieved by directly quantizing space itself. We compute the Bohr-Sommerfeld volume spectrum of a tetrahedron and show that it reproduces the quantization of a grain of space found in loop gravity.
متن کاملQuantum monodromy and Bohr-Sommerfeld rules
This article is based on a talk given in Dijon for the 2000 summer school “Topological and Geometrical Methods: Applications to Dynamical Systems”. The standard definitions of the monodromy invariant for completely integrable classical systems are reviewed, and the link to the quantum monodromy observed in the joint spectrum of commuting operators is explained. The mathematical treatment relies...
