Concentration of Bloch eigenstates in the presence of gauge at the semi-classical limit
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove a concentration result of a Bloch eigenstate in a periodic channel under a constant gauge. In the semi-classical limit h → 0 these eigenstates concentrate near a maximizer of the scalar potential of the associated Schrödinger operator, provided the constant gauge converges to a critical value from above. This is in contrast with the ground states which concentrate for any gauge in this limit near a minimizer of the scalar potential.

Asymptotic Analysis of the Quantum Dynamics in Crystals: The Bloch-Wigner Transform, Bloch Dynamics and Berry Phase
We study the semi-classical limit of the Schrödinger equation in a crystal in the presence of an external potential and magnetic field. We first introduce the Bloch-Wigner transform and derive the asymptotic equations governing this transform in the semi-classical setting. For the second part, we focus on the appearance of the Berry curvature terms in the asymptotic equations. These terms play ...

It is built a map between the Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) 3D compact U(1) gauge Maxwell Chern-Simons and the non-relativistic quantum mechanics (semi-classical) Azbel-Hofstadter model of Bloch-electrons. The U q (sl 2) quantum group of magnetic translations in the Azbel-Hofstadter model is interpreted as discretized gauge transformations on the TQFT. The monopole confining and monop...

Using the forced oscillator method (FOM) and the transfer-matrix technique, we numerically investigate the nature of the phonon states and the wave propagation, in the presence of an external force, in the chains composed of Fibonacci lattices of type site, bond and mixing models, as the quasiperiodic systems. Calculating the Lyapunov exponent and the participation ratio, we also study the lo...

We point out that, in a spontaneously broken U(1) gauge theory, inclusive processes, whose primary particles are mass eigenstates that do not coincide with the gauge eigenstates, are not free of infrared logarithms. The charge mixing allowed by symmetry breaking and the ensuing BlochNordsieck violation are here analyzed in a few relevant cases and in particular for processes initiated by longit...

Different modified atmosphere conditions with various CO2 concentrations on microbial load (psychrophile, mesophile aerobic and anaerobic bacteria) and physico-chemical properties of barramundi (Lates calcarifer Bloch) fillets stored at 8°C were compared to determine the best packaging conditions. The gas conditions evaluated were 100% CO2 (M1), 75% CO2/25% N2 (M2), 50% CO2/50% N2 (M3), 25% CO...
