Quantization of waves: the stretched string

“Quantization of waves: the stretched string” discusses waves in one dimension, in order to display the quantization procedure without the complication of three dimensions and of two polarization possibilities. Quantization goes via classical Lagrangian mechanics. The waves travel in both directions along the string, and we face up to disentangling these. The quantization procedure yields raising and lowering operators, their commutation rules, and their matrix elements.

Construction and Characterization of Representations of SU(7) for GUT Model Builders

The natural extension to the SU(5) Georgi-Glashow grand unification model is to enlarge the gauge symmetry group. In this work, the SU(7) symmetry group is examined. The Cartan subalgebra is determined along with their commutation relations. The associated roots and weights of the SU(7) algebra are derived and discussed. The raising and lowering operators are explicitly constructed and presented. Higher dimensional representations are developed by graphical as well as tensorial methods. Applications of the SU(7) Lie group to supersymmetric grand unification as well as applications are discussed.

Multiple big q-Jacobi polynomials

Here, we investigate type II multiple big [Formula: see text]-Jacobi orthogonal polynomials. We provide their explicit formulae in terms of basic hypergeometric series, raising and lowering operators, Rodrigues formulae, third-order [Formula: see text]-difference equation, and we obtain recurrence relations.

Factorization method for exact solution of the non-central modified Killingbeck potential plus a ring-shaped-like potential

In this paper, we study the Schrödinger equation with non-central modified Killingbeck potential plus a ring-shaped-like potential problem, which is not spherically symmetric. The factorization method is used to solve the hypergeometric equation types which lead to solutions with the associate Laguerre function for the radial part and Jacobi polynomial for the polar part. We introduce the raising and lowering operators to calculate the energies eigenvalues, which show that the lack of spherical symmetry removes the degeneracy of second quantum number m which is completely expected. These obtained energies are better to explain the superposition of the energy levels of the atoms in the crystalline structure of molecules.

More on algebraic properties of the discrete Fourier transform raising and lowering operators

In the present work, we discuss some additional findings concerning algebraic properties of the N-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (DFT) raising and lowering difference operators, recently introduced in [Atakishiyeva MK, Atakishiyev NM (2015), J Phys: Conf Ser 597, 012012; Atakishiyeva MK, Atakishiyev NM (2016), Adv Dyn Syst Appl 11, 81–92]. In particular, we argue that the most authentic symmetrical form of discretization of the integral Fourier transform may be constructed as the discrete Fourier transforms based on the odd points N only, while in the discrete Fourier transforms on the even points N this symmetry is spontaneously broken. This heretofore undetected distinction between odd and even dimensions is shown to be intimately related with the newly revealed algebraic properties of the above-mentioned DFT raising and lowering difference operators and, of course, is very consistent with the well-known formula for the multiplicities of the eigenvalues, associated with the N-dimensional DFT. In addition, we propose a general approach to deriving the eigenvectors of the discrete number operators N(N), that avoids the above-mentioned pitfalls in the structure of each even-dimensional case N = 2L.

A demonstration that electroweak theory can violate parity automatically (leptonic case)

We bring to light an electroweak model which has been reappearing in the literature under various guises.[Formula: see text] In this model, weak isospin is shown to act automatically on states of only a single chirality (left). This is achieved by building the model exclusively from the raising and lowering operators of the Clifford algebra [Formula: see text]. That is, states constructed from these ladder operators mimic the behaviour of left- and right-handed electrons and neutrinos under unitary ladder operator symmetry. This ladder operator symmetry is found to be generated uniquely by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Crucially, the model demonstrates how parity can be maximally violated, without the usual step of introducing extra gauge and extra Higgs bosons, or ad hoc projectors.
