Dirac ’ s hole theory versus quantum field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Dirac’s hole theory and quantum field theory are usually considered equivalent to each other. For models of a certain type, however, the equivalence may not hold as we discuss in this Letter. This problem is closely related to the validity of the Pauli principle in intermediate states of perturbation theory.

Black Hole Entropy and Exclusion Statistics
We compute the entropy of systems of quantum particles satisfying the fractional exclusion statistics in the space-time of 2+1 dimensional black hole by using the brick-wall method. We show that the entropy of each effective quantum field theory with a Planck scale ultraviolet cutoff obeys the area law, irrespective of the angular momentum of the black hole and the statistics interpolating betw...
متن کاملOrbital magnetization of interacting Dirac fermions in graphene
We present a formalism to calculate the orbital magnetization of interacting Dirac fermions under a magnetic field. In this approach, the divergence difficulty is overcome with a special limit of the derivative of the thermodynamic potential with respect to the magnetic field. The formalism satisfies the particle-hole symmetry of the Dirac fermions system. We apply the formalism to the interact...
متن کاملFermions and the AdS/CFT correspondence: quantum phase transitions and the emergent Fermi-liquid
A central mystery in quantum condensed matter physics is the zero temperature quantum phase transition between strongly renormalized Fermi-liquids as found in heavy fermion intermetallics and possibly high Tc superconductors. Field theoretical statistical techniques are useless because of the fermion sign problem, but we will present here results showing that the mathematics of string theory is...
متن کاملA Model of CPT Violation for Neutrinos
Any local relativistic quantum field theory of Dirac-Weyl fermions conserves CPT . Here we examine whether a simple nonlocal field theory can violate CPT . We construct a new relativistic field theory of fermions, which we call “homeotic”, which is nonlocal but causal and Lorentz invariant. The free homeotic theory is in fact equivalent to free Dirac theory. We show that a homeotic theory with ...

We show that a particle, with positive orbital angular momentum, following an outgoing null/time-like geodesic, shall never reach the closed time like horizon (CTH) present in the (4+1)dimensional rotating Gödel black hole space-time. Therefore a large part of this space-time remains inaccessible to a large class of geodesic observers, depending on the conserved quantities associated with them....
