Time-reversal violation as loop-antiloop symmetry breaking: the Bessel equation, group contraction and dissipation

چکیده
We show that the Bessel equation can be cast, by means of suitable transformations, into a system of two damped/amplified parametric oscillator equations. The relation with the group contraction mechanism is analyzed and the breakdown of loop-antiloop symmetry due to group contraction manifests itself as violation of time-reversal symmetry. A preliminary discussion of the relation between some infinite dimensional loop-algebras, such as the Virasoro-like algebra, and the Euclidean algebras e(2) and e(3) is also presented.

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملTests of fundamental symmetries with β decay
Since the fall of parity in electroweak interactions the discrete transformations of parity, charge conjugation and time reversal are under close scrutiny for any sign of deviation from maximality where symmetry breaking seems to be complete (like P violation in β decay) and for any sign of symmetry breaking when this has not yet been observed (like T violation in

We study the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in the three and four dimensional Gaussian Ising spin glasses using on and off equilibrium simulations. We have characterized numerically the function X(C) that determine the violation and we have studied its scaling properties. Moreover we have computed the function x(C) which characterize the breaking of the replica symmetry direct...
متن کاملEffective dissipation: Breaking time-reversal symmetry in driven microscopic energy transmission.
At molecular scales, fluctuations play a significant role and prevent biomolecular processes from always proceeding in a preferred direction, raising the question of how limited amounts of free energy can be dissipated to obtain directed progress. We examine the system and process characteristics that efficiently break time-reversal symmetry at fixed energy loss; in particular for a simple mode...
متن کاملTime-reversal and parity conservation for gravitating quarks
The complex mass term of a quark does not violate time-reversal or parity in gravitational interactions, in spite of an axial anomaly. Time-reversal is known to be violated in the weak interactions. Mass terms q̄LMqR + ̄̃qLM̃q̃R+hc are generated for quarks q having charge + 2 3 and quarks q̃ having charge − 1 3 in the shape of complex matrices M, M̃ from electroweak symmetry breaking. On diagonalizati...
