Recent Developments of the Lauricella String Scattering Amplitudes and Their Exact SL(K + 3,C) Symmetry

In this review, we propose a new perspective to demonstrate the Gross conjecture regarding the high-energy symmetry of string theory. We review the construction of the exact string scattering amplitudes (SSAs) of three tachyons and one arbitrary string state, or the Lauricella SSA (LSSA), in the 26D open bosonic string theory. These LSSAs form an infinite dimensional representation of the SL(K+3,C) group. Moreover, we show that the SL(K+3,C) group can be used to solve all the LSSAs and express them in terms of one amplitude. As an application in the hard scattering limit, the LSSA can be used to directly prove the Gross conjecture, which was previously corrected and proved by the method of the decoupling of zero norm states (ZNS). Finally, the exact LSSA can be used to rederive the recurrence relations of SSA in the Regge scattering limit with associated SL(5,C) symmetry and the extended recurrence relations (including the mass and spin dependent string BCJ relations) in the nonrelativistic scattering limit with the associated SL(4,C) symmetry discovered recently.

The Nonrelativistic Scattering States of the Deng-Fan Potential

The approximately analytical scattering state solution of the Schrodinger equation is obtained for the Deng-Fan potential by using an approximation scheme to the centrifugal term. Energy eigenvalues, normalized wave functions, and scattering phase shifts are calculated. We consider and verify two special cases: thel=0and thes-wave Hulthén potential.

ON OBSERVABILITY OF DIRAC'S STRING

The nonrelativistic scattering of charged particles by non-quantized Dirac's monopole is explored. It is shown that the singular Dirac "string" should be observed in the quantum scattering experiment, if the Dirac quantization condition is discarded.

Nonrelativistic Scattering Analysis of Charged Particle by a Magnetic Monopole in the Global Monopole Background

We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum scattering problem of a charged particle by an Abelian magnetic monopole in the background of a global monopole. In addition to the magnetic and geometric effects, we consider the influence of the electrostatic self-interaction on the charged particle. Moreover, for the specific case where the electrostatic self-interaction becomes attractive, charged particle-monopole bound system can be formed and the respective energy spectrum is hydrogen-like one.
