Fundamental Distinction

Existing attempts to apply the quantum theory to the electromagnetic field are open to serious objections. Above all, the time is treated differently from the space co-ordinates; the quantities defining the state ( e. g. , field strengths) are developed in Fourier series according to their space distribution, but the Fourier coefficients are not considered a classical functions of the time but as quantum oscillators. Also the subsequent development of these principles into formulæ, in which the field quantities are operators depending on position in space, does not affect the fundamental distinction between time and space variables. This is also shown by the fact that the relativistic invariance cannot be derived simply from the symmetry of the formulæ in the four world co-ordinates, but must be artificially imposed and demonstrated by a complicated proof. Further, it is not a self-contained theory of the elctromagntic field, but a superposition of Maxwell's electromagnetic fieldon the material field of Schrodinger or Dirac, in which the elementary particles poccur as point-charges. Thus there is no idea of the radius of the particle, and consequently no rational notion of mass, not to mention a theory of the ratio of the mass of a proton to that of an electron. In addition to these fundamental difficultiees there are others, such as that of the infinitely great "Nullpunksenergie", which is avoided by an artificial modification of the formalism.

Interpretation Of Quantum Theory

The interpretation problems of quantum theory are considered. In the formalism of quantum theory the possible states of a system are described by a state vector. The state vector, which will be represented as |ψ> in Dirac notation, is the most general form of the quantum mechanical description. The central problem of the interpretation of quantum theory is to explain the physical significance of the |ψ>. In this paper we have shown that one of the best way to make of interpretation of wave function is to take the wave function as an operator.

New Formula

Many approaches to quantum gravity consider the revision of the space-time geometry and the structure of elementary particles. One of the main candidates is string theory. It is possible that this theory will be able to describe the problem of hierarchy, provided that there is an appropriate Calabi-Yau geometry. In this paper we will proceed from the traditional view on the structure of elementary particles in the usual four-dimensional space-time. The only condition is that quarks and leptons should have a common emerging structure. When a new formula for the mass of the hierarchy is obtained, this structure arises from topological quantum theory and a suitable choice of dimensional units.

Relativistic Scattering

The Dirac electron is considered as a particle-like solution consistent with its own Kerr–Newman (KN) gravitational field. In our previous works we considered the regularized by López KN solution as a bag-like soliton model formed from the Higgs field in a supersymmetric vacuum state. This bag takes the shape of a thin superconducting disk coupled with circular string placed along its perimeter. Using the unique features of the Kerr–Schild coordinate system, which linearizes Dirac equation in KN space, we obtain the solution of the Dirac equations consistent with the KN gravitational and electromagnetic field, and show that the corresponding solution takes the form of a massless relativistic string. Obvious parallelism with Heisenberg and Schrödinger pictures of quantum theory explains remarkable features of the electron in its interaction with gravity and in the relativistic scattering processes.

Fourier series is a well-established subject and widely applied in various fields. However, there is much less work on double Fourier coefficients in relation to spaces of general double sequences. We understand the space of double Fourier coefficients as an abstract space of sequences and examine relationships to spaces of general double sequences: p-power summable sequences for p = 1, 2, and the Hilbert space of double sequences. Using uniform convergence in the sense of a Cesàro mean, we verify the inclusion relationships between the four spaces of double sequences; they are nested as proper subsets. The completions of two spaces of them are found to be identical and equal to the largest one. We prove that the two-parameter Wiener space is isomorphic to the space of Cesàro means associated with double Fourier coefficients. Furthermore, we establish that the Hilbert space of double sequence is an abstract Wiener space. We think that the relationships of sequence spaces verified at an intermediate stage in this paper will provide a basis for the structures of those spaces and expect to be developed further as in the spaces of single-indexed sequences.

Abstract We consider a general elliptic formally self-adjoint problem in a bounded domain with homogeneous boundary conditions under the assumption that the boundary and coefficients are infinitely smooth. The operator in 𝐿2(Ω) corresponding to this problem has an orthonormal basis {𝑢𝑙} of eigenfunctions, which are infinitely smooth in . However, the system {𝑢𝑙} is not a basis in Sobolev spaces 𝐻𝑡 (Ω) of high order. We note and discuss the following possibility: for an arbitrarily large 𝑡, for each function 𝑢 ∈ 𝐻𝑡 (Ω) one can explicitly construct a function 𝑢0 ∈ 𝐻𝑡 (Ω) such that the Fourier series of the difference 𝑢 – 𝑢0 in the functions 𝑢𝑙 converges to this difference in 𝐻𝑡 (Ω). Moreover, the function 𝑢(𝑥) is viewed as a solution of the corresponding nonhomogeneous elliptic problem and is not assumed to be known a priori; only the right-hand sides of the elliptic equation and the boundary conditions for 𝑢 are assumed to be given. These data are also sufficient for the computation of the Fourier coefficients of 𝑢 – 𝑢0. The function 𝑢0 is obtained by applying some linear operator to these right-hand sides.

Gauge Transformations

In the theory of the electromagnetic field without charges, the potentials are not fixed by the field, but are subject to gauge transformations. The theory thus involves more dynamical variables than are physically needed. It is possible by destroying the gauge transformations to make the superfluous variables acquire a physical significance and describe electric charges. One gets in this way a simplified classical theory of electrons, which appears to be more suitable than the usual one as a basis for a passage to the quantum theory.

Abstract Fourier approximation plays a key role in qualitative theory of deterministic and random differential equations. In this paper, we will develop a new approximation tool. For an m m -order differentiable function f f on [ 0 , 1 0,1 ], we will construct an m m -degree algebraic polynomial P m {P}_{m} depending on values of f f and its derivatives at ends of [ 0 , 1 0,1 ] such that the Fourier coefficients of R m = f − P m {R}_{m}=f-{P}_{m} decay fast. Since the partial sum of Fourier series R m {R}_{m} is a trigonometric polynomial, we can reconstruct the function f f well by the combination of a polynomial and a trigonometric polynomial. Moreover, we will extend these results to the case of random processes.

The Stability

We clarify some arguments concerning Jefimenko’s equations, as a way of constructing solutions to Maxwell’s equations, for charge and current satisfying the continuity equation. We then isolate a condition on non-radiation in all inertial frames, which is intuitively reasonable for the stability of an atomic system, and prove that the condition is equivalent to the charge and current satisfying certain relations, including the wave equations. Finally, we prove that with these relations, the energy in the electromagnetic field is quantised and displays the properties of the Balmer series.

Abstract Let 𝑓 be a 2π-periodic function in 𝐿1[–π, π] and be its lacunary Fourier series with small gaps. We have estimated Fourier coefficients of 𝑓 if it is of φ∧ 𝐵𝑉 locally. We have also obtained a precise interconnection between the lacunarity in such series and the localness of the hypothesis to be satisfied by the generic function which allows us to the interpolate the results concerning lacunary series and non-lacunary series.
