AbstractA Green function formulation of a system that describes the interaction of fields of arbitrary spin with the gravitational field andparticles is given. The Lagrangian considered is essentially the most general that admits of a description through Green functions.

A Green function formulation of the Dirac field in curved space is considered in the cases where the mass is constant and where it is regarded as a direct particle field in the manner of Hoyle & Narlikar (1964 c ). This description is equivalent to, and in some ways more satisfactory than, that given in terms of a suitable Lagrangian, in which the Dirac or the mass field is regarded as independent of the geometry. The essential idea is to define the Dirac or the mass field in terms of certain Green functions and sources so that the field equations are satisfied identically, and then to obtain the contribution of these fields to the metric field equations from the variation of a suitable action that is defined in terms of the Green functions and sources.


The question of non-uniqueness in boundary integral equation formu­lations of exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation has recently been resolved with the use of additional radiating multipoles in the definition of the Green function. The present note shows how this modification may be included in a rigorous formalism and presents an explicit choice of co­efficients of the added terms that is optimal in the sense of minimizing the least-squares difference between the modified and exact Green functions.

The role of the bound electron Green function in the recent high precision determination of the electron mass is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the connection to Schwinger’s use of such Green functions in his early work establishing the modern form of QED, his calculation of leading binding corrections, and his work on synchrotron radiation.

In order to easy use Green function on cloud computation, the author consider control equation of point source with free surface, and discuss the representation of Green function on cloud computation, and then propose the discrete calculation expression as well as the calculation procedure. Finally, the two-dimensional graphics of the Green functions real and imaginary parts are plotted.

We investigate the effects of the external gravitational and constant magnetic fields to the dynamical symmetry breaking. As simple models of the dynamical symmetry breaking we consider the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the supersymmetric Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (SUSY NJL) model nonminimally interacting with the external gravitational field and minimally interacting with constant magnetic field. The explicit expressions for the scalar and spinor Green functions are found to the first order in the space–time curvature and exactly for a constant magnetic field. We obtain the effective potential of the above models from the Green functions in the magnetic field in curved space–time. Calculating the effective potential numerically with the varying curvature and/or magnetic fields we show the effects of the external gravitational and magnetic fields to the phase structure of the theories. In particular, increase of the curvature in the spontaneously broken phase of the chiral symmetry due to the fixed magnetic field makes this phase to be less broken. At the same time the strong magnetic field quickly induces chiral symmetry breaking even in the presence of fixed gravitational field within the nonbroken phase.

Let Ω be a bounded hyperconvex domain in ℂn, 0 ∈ Ω, and Sε a family of N poles in Ω, all tending to 0 as ε tends to 0. To each Sε we associate its vanishing ideal [Formula: see text] and pluricomplex Green function [Formula: see text]. Suppose that, as ε tends to 0, [Formula: see text] converges to [Formula: see text] (local uniform convergence), and that (Gε)ε converges to G, locally uniformly away from 0; then [Formula: see text]. If the Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity of [Formula: see text] is strictly larger than its length (codimension, equal to N here), then (Gε)ε cannot converge to [Formula: see text]. Conversely, if [Formula: see text] is a complete intersection ideal, then (Gε)ε converges to [Formula: see text]. We work out the case of three poles.

We consider the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] terms in the low momentum expansion of the five graviton amplitude in type IIB string theory at one loop. They involve integrals of various modular graph functions over the fundamental domain of [Formula: see text]. Unlike the graphs which arise in the four graviton amplitude or at lower orders in the momentum expansion of the five graviton amplitude where the links are given by scalar Green functions, there are several graphs for the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] terms where each of these two links are given by a derivative of the Green function. Starting with appropriate auxiliary diagrams, we show that these graphs can be expressed in terms of those which do not involve any derivatives. This results in considerable simplification of the amplitude.
