相对论量子物理中一类新的Volterra型积分方程

A new class of Volterra-type integral equations from relativistic quantum physics

Matthias Lienert, Roderich Tumulka

摘要:

本文研究相对论量子力学双粒子波函数$ψ(x_1,x_2)$的一类新的线性积分方程,其中$x_1,x_2$是时空点。在延迟相互作用的情况下,这些积分方程在时间变量上是Volterra型的,即,它们涉及从0到$t_i = x_i^0,~i=1,2$的时间积分。它们不仅在物理学中的应用方面很有趣,而且还因为以下数学特征:(a)时间和空间变量比正常的时间相关问题更加相互关联,(b)积分核是奇异的,并且这些奇异性的结构是非平凡的,(c)它们具有时间延迟。我们制定了一些这样的方程的标量波函数的例子,并证明他们的解决方案的存在性和唯一性。我们还指出开放的数学问题。

英文摘要:

Here we study a new kind of linear integral equations for a relativistic quantum-mechanical two-particle wave function $ψ(x_1,x_2)$, where $x_1,x_2$ are spacetime points. In the case of retarded interaction, these integral equations are of Volterra-type in the in the time variables, i.e., they involve a time integration from 0 to $t_i = x_i^0,~i=1,2$. They are interesting not only in view of their applications in physics, but also because of the following mathematical features: (a) time and space variables are more interrelated than in normal time-dependent problems, (b) the integral kernels are singular, and the structure of these singularities is non-trivial, (c) they feature time delay. We formulate a number of examples of such equations for scalar wave functions and prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for them. We also point out open mathematical problems.
