More transition amplitudes on the Riemann sphere

چکیده
We consider a conformal field theory for bosons on the Riemann sphere. Correlation functions are defined as singular limits of functional integrals. The main result is that these amplitudes define transition amplitudes, that is multilinear Hilbert-Schmidt functionals on a fixed Hilbert space.

Loop Integrands for Scattering Amplitudes from the Riemann Sphere.
The scattering equations on the Riemann sphere give rise to remarkable formulas for tree-level gauge theory and gravity amplitudes. Adamo, Casali, and Skinner conjectured a one-loop formula for supergravity amplitudes based on scattering equations on a torus. We use a residue theorem to transform this into a formula on the Riemann sphere. What emerges is a framework for loop integrands on the R...
متن کاملTransition amplitudes and sewing properties for bosons on the Riemann sphere
We consider scalar quantum fields on the sphere, both massive and massless. In the massive case we show that the correlation functions define amplitudes which are trace class operators between tensor products of a fixed Hilbert space. We also establish certain sewing properties between these operators. In the massless case we consider exponential fields and have a conformal field theory. In thi...
متن کاملSpatial statistics for lattice points on the sphere I: Individual results
We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares. We examine several statistics of these point sets, such as the electrostatic potential, Ripley's function, the variance of the number of points in random spherical caps, and the covering radius. Some of the results are conditional on t...
متن کاملTransition Probability (Fidelity) and its Relatives
Transition Probability (fidelity) for pairs of density operators can be defined as a “functor” in the hierarchy of “all” quantum systems and also within any quantum system. The Introduction of “amplitudes” for density operators allows for a more intuitive treatment of these quantities, also pointing to a natural parallel transport. The latter is governed by a remarkable gauge theory with strong...
متن کاملRamified Coverings of the Riemann Sphere, Constellations, and Hypermaps on Surfaces
We review the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and connections between ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere, constellations, and hypermaps on surfaces. This note is based on the chapter 1 of [4].
