路径积分与李群

Path Integrals and Lie Groups

Akira Inomata, Georg Junker

摘要:

讨论了李群在非相对论量子力学中费曼路径积分中的作用。动力学以及几何对称性被发现有用的路径积分量子化。考虑了具有非紧李群对称性的两个例子。第一种是粒子在常负曲率空间中的自由量子运动。该系统有一个群SO(d,1)与几何结构,其中的技术的调和分析的齐次空间。作为具有非紧动力学对称性的系统的一个例子,选择d维谐振子,其除了其几何对称性SO(d)之外还具有非紧动力学群SU(1,1)。径向路径积分被看作SU(1,1)的紧群元的矩阵函数在连续基上的卷积。

英文摘要:

The roles of Lie groups in Feynman's path integrals in non-relativistic quantum mechanics are discussed. Dynamical as well as geometrical symmetries are found useful for path integral quantization. Two examples having the symmetry of a non-compact Lie group are considered. The first is the free quantum motion of a particle on a space of constant negative curvature. The system has a group SO(d,1) associated with the geometrical structure, to which the technique of harmonic analysis on a homogeneous space is applied. As an example of a system having a non-compact dynamical symmetry, the d-dimensional harmonic oscillator is chosen, which has the non-compact dynamical group SU(1,1) besides its geometrical symmetry SO(d). The radial path integral is seen as a convolution of the matrix functions of a compact group element of SU(1,1) on the continuous basis.
