An upper bound of the relative entanglement entropy of thermal states at an inverse temperature $β$ of linear, massive Klein-Gordon and Dirac quantum field theories across two regions, separated by a nonzero distance $d$ in a Cauchy hypersurface of an ultrastatic (spin-)spacetime has been computed. This entanglement measure is bounded by a negative constant times $\ln | \tanh (πd/ 2 β) |$ which signifies power law decay for asymptotic $d$ where the exponent depends on $β< \infty$.
The difference between a Klein-Gordon random field and the complex Klein-Gordon quantum field is characterized, explicitly comparing the roles played by negative frequency modes of test functions in creation and annihilation operator presentations of the two theories. The random field and the complex quantum field can both be constructed from the same creation and annihilation operator algebra, making them equivalent in that sense.
We give an explicit construction of a positive-definite invariant inner-product for the Klein-Gordon fields, thus solving the old problem of the probability interpretation of Klein-Gordon fields without having to restrict to the subspaces of the positive-frequency solutions. Our method has a much wider domain of application and may be used to obtain the most general invariant inner-product on the solution space of a broad class of Klein-Gordon type evolution equations. We explore its consequences for the solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation associated with the FRW-massive-real-scalar-field…
Using methods in the theory of semisimple Lie algebras, we can obtain all smooth solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation on the 4-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (dS^4). The mass of a Klein-Gordon scalar on dS^4 is related to an eigenvalue of the Casimir operator of so(1,4). Thus it is discrete, or quantized. Furthermore, the mass m of a Klein-Gordon scalar on dS^4 is imaginary: m^2 being proportional to -N(N+3), with N >= 0 an integer.
This paper gives a brief review on the recent work on fractional Klein-Gordon fields, in particular on the Casimir effect associated to fractional Klein-Gordon fields in various geometries and boundary conditions. New results on Casimir piston due to a fractional Klein-Gordon massive field are given.
A possible way for the consistent probability interpretation of the Klein-Gordon equation is proposed. It is assumed that some states of a scalar charged particle cannot be physically realized. The rest of quantum states are proven to have positive-definite probability distributions.
We introduce the Dunkl--Klein--Gordon (DKG) equation in 2D by changing the standard partial derivatives by the Dunkl derivatives in the standard Klein--Gordon (KG) equation. We show that the generalization with Dunkl derivative of the $z$-component of the angular momentum is what allows the separation of variables of the DKG equation. Then, we compute the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of the DKG equations for the 2D Coulomb potential and the Klein--Gordon oscillator analytically and from an ${\rm su}(1,1)$ algebraic point of view. Finally, we show that if the parameters of the Dunkl deriv…
Employing a transformation to hyperbolic space, we derive in a simple way exact solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation in an infinite square-well potential with one boundary moving at constant velocity, for the massless as well as for the massive case.
The three-dimensional Klein-Gordon oscillator is shown to exhibit an algebraic structure known from supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The supersymmetry is found to be unbroken with a vanishing Witten index, and it is utilized to derive the spectral properties of the Klein-Gordon oscillator, which is closely related to that of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator in three dimensions. Supersymmetry also enables us to derive a closed-form expression for the energy-dependent Green's function.
By introducing the scalar potential as modification in the mass term of the Klein-Gordon equation, the influence of a Coulomb-type potential on the Klein-Gordon oscillator is investigated. Relativistic bound states solutions are achieved to both attractive and repulsive Coulomb-type potentials and the arising of a quantum effect characterized by the dependence of angular frequency of the Klein-Gordon oscillator on the quantum numbers of the system is shown.
We obtain exact solutions of the (1+1) dimensional Klein Gordon equation with linear vector and scalar potentials in the presence of a minimal length. Algebraic approach to the problem has also been studied.
Using the shape invariance property we obtain exact solutions of the (1+1)dimensional Klein-Gordon equation for certain types of scalar and vector potentials. We also discuss the possibility of obtaining real energy spectrum with non-Hermitian interaction within this framework.
We describe a Lorentzian manifold that is globally hyperbolic and geodesically complete, but such that the (minimally coupled) Klein-Gordon operator with the standard domain is not essentially self-adjoint.
We show asymptotic completeness for a class of superradiant Klein-Gordon equations. Our results are applied to the Klein-Gordon equation on the De Sitter Kerr metric with small angular momentum of the black hole. For this equation we obtain asymptotic completeness for fixed angular momentum of the field.
We solve the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of a spatially one-dimensional cusp potential. The bound state solutions are derived and the antiparticle bound state is discussed.
In this article we introduce a new class of non-Archimedean pseudodifferential equations of Klein-Gordon type and study the corresponding Cauchy problem for these equations. A remarkable fact is that the non-Archimedean Klein-Gordon equations exhibit many similar properties to the classical Klein-Gordon equations.
We present a new complex non-stationary particle-like solution of the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation with several spatial variables. The construction is based on reduction to an ordinary differential equation.
We derive exact analytical solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation for Makarov potential by means of the asymptotic iteration method. The energy eigenvalues are given in a closed form and the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of the generalized Laguerre polynomials and hypergeometrical functions.
We give estimates for the changes of the eigenvalues of the Klein Gordon operator under the change of the potential. In some relevant situations we improve the existing estimates. We test our results on some exactly solvable models (Coulomb potential, Klein-Gordon oscillator).
The scattering problem for the Klein-Gordon equation with cubic convolution nonlinearity is considered. Based on the Strichartz estimates for the inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation we prove the existence of the scattering operator.
We show how to deal with the generalized q-Schrödinger and q-Klein-Gordon fields in a variety of scenarios. These q-fields are meaningful at very high energies (TeVs) for for $q=1.15$, high ones (GeVs) for $q=1.001$, and low energies (MeVs)for $q=1.000001$ [Nucl. Phys. A {\bf 948} (2016) 19, Nucl. Phys. A {\bf 955} (2016) 16]. We develop here the quantum field theory (QFT) for the q-Schrödinger and q-Klein-Gordon fields, showing that both reduce to the customary Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon QFTs for q close to unity. Further, we analyze the q-Klein-Gordon field for $2q-1=n$ (n integer $\ge 2$)…
We consider the stability of the toroidal AdS-Schwarzshild black holes as solutions of the Einstein--Klein-Gordon system, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions for the scalar field. Restricting to perturbations that respect the toroidal symmetry we show both orbital and asymptotic stability for the full nonlinear problem, for a range of choices of the Klein-Gordon mass. The solutions we construct with Neumann boundary conditions have a Hawking mass which diverges towards infinity, reflecting the infinite energy of the Klein-Gordon field for perturbations satisfying these boundary condi…
We construct one-parameter families of solutions to the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations bifurcating off the Kerr solution such that the underlying family of spacetimes are each an asymptotically flat, stationary, axisymmetric, black hole spacetime, and such that the corresponding scalar fields are non-zero and time-periodic. An immediate corollary is that for these Klein--Gordon masses, the Kerr family is not asymptotically stable as a solution to the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations.
Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localized packet and which preserves this localization in time. A solitary wave which has a non-vanishing angular momentum is called vortex. We know (at least) three mechanisms which might produce solitary waves and vortices: 1) Complete integrability, (e.g. Kortewg-de Vries equation) 2) Topological constraints, (e.g. Sine-Gordon equation); 3) Ratio energy/charge: (e.g. the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation). The third type of solitary waves or solitons will be called hylomorphic. This class includes the…
We show asymptotic completeness for the charged Klein-Gordon equation in the exterior De Sitter-Reissner-Nordström spacetime when the product of the charge of the black hole with the charge of Klein-Gordon field is small enough. We then interpret scattering as asymptotic transports along principal null geodesics in a Kaluza-Klein extension of the original spacetime.
A scheme stemming from the use of pseudospectral approximations to spatial derivatives followed by a time integrator based on trigonometric polynomials is proposed for the numerical solutions of the coupled nonlinear Klein--Gordon equations. Numerical tests on one- and three-coupled Klein--Gordon equations are presented, which are geared towards understanding the accuracy and stability, and demonstrating the efficiency and high resolution capacity in application.
We introduce $q$-versions of the Klein-Gordon equation in the three-dimensional $q$-deformed Euclidean space. We determine plane wave solutions to our $q$-deformed Klein-Gordon equations. We show that these plane wave solutions form a complete orthogonal system. We discuss the propagators of our $q$-deformed Klein-Gordon equations. We derive continuity equations for the charge density, the energy density, and the momentum density of a $q$-deformed spin-zero particle.
An approximate solution of the Klein-Gordon equation for the general Hulthén-type potentials in $D$-dimensions within the framework of an approximation to the centrifugal term is obtained. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the normalized eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of hypergeometric polynomials.
We show decay of the local energy of solutions of the charged Klein-Gordon equation in the exterior De Sitter-Reissner-Nordström spacetime by means of a resonance expansion of the local propagator.
We consider a system associated to Klein-Gordon equations with homogeneous time-dependent electric fields. The upper and lower boundaries of a time-evolution propagator for this system were proven by Veselić in 1991 for electric fields that are independent of time. We extend this result to time-dependent electric fields.
We present the exact solution of the Klein-Gordon with Hylleraas Potential using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We obtain explicitly the bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigen function are also obtained and expressed in terms of Jacobi Polynomials
It is shown that in the two-dimensional space-time the dynamic system, described by the free Klein-Gordon equation, turns to the dynamic system, described by the free Dirac equation, provided the current and the energy-momentum tensor are redefined in a proper way.
The scalar Klein-Gordon equation describes wave motion in a waveguide with a cut-off. For example, the displacement of an elastic cord anchored to a solid base by elastic elements can be described by the scalar Klein-Gordon equation. We analyse this equation using the concept of analytical continuation of dispersion diagram. Particularly, it is shown that the dispersion diagram is topologically equivalent to a tube analytically embedded in two-dimensional complex space. The corresponding Fourier integral is studied on this tube using the Cauchy's theorem. The basic properties of the scalar Kle…
Elliptic pseudoanalytic function theory was considered independently by Bers and Vekua decades ago. In this paper we develop a hyperbolic analogue of pseudoanalytic function theory using the algebra of hyperbolic numbers. We consider the Klein-Gordon equation with a potential. With the aid of one particular solution we factorize the Klein-Gordon operator in terms of two Vekua-type operators. We show that real parts of the solutions of one of these Vekua-type operators are solutions of the considered Klein-Gordon equation. Using hyperbolic pseudoanalytic function theory, we then obtain explicit…
This note aims to give prominence to some new results on the absence and localization of eigenvalues for the Dirac and Klein-Gordon operators, starting from known resolvent estimates already established in the literature combined with the renowned Birman-Schwinger principle.
We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted energy norms for solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in a moving frame. The decay extends the results of Jensen, Kato and Murata for the equations of the Schrödinger type. We modify the approach to make it applicable to relativistic equations.
Solution of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation perturbed by small external force is investigated. The frequency of perturbation varies slowly and passes through a resonance. The resonance generates a solitary packets of waves. Full asymptotic description of this process is presented.
In this paper the stationary Klein-Gordon equation is considered for the Coulomb potential in non-commutative space. The energy shift due to noncommutativeity is obtained via the perturbation theory. Furthermore, we show that the degeneracy of the initial spectral line is broken in transition from commutative space to non-commutative space.
In this paper we present explicit formulas for the fundamental solution to the Klein-Gordon operator on some higher dimensional generalizations of the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle with values in distinct pinor bundles. The fundamental solution is described in terms of generalizations of the Weierstraß $\wp$-function that are adapted to the context of these geometries. The explicit formulas for the kernel then allow us to express all solutions to the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon problem with given boundary data in the context of these manifolds. In the case of the Klein bottl…
We are interested in the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$, and we aim to show that the energy for the global solution to the equations is uniformly bounded, and we do not require the compactness assumption on the initial data. To achieve these goals, the key is to apply Alinhac's ghost weight energy estimates adapted to the Klein-Gordon equations.
Consider the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$, and we are interested in establishing the small global solution to the equations and in investigating the pointwise asymptotic behavior of the solution. The Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations can be regarded as a coupled semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon system with quadratic nonlinearities which do not satisfy the null conditions, and the fact that wave components and Klein-Gordon components do not decay sufficiently fast makes it harder to conduct the analysis. In order to conquer the difficulties, we will rely on the hyperboloi…
The Shape invariant method has the algebraic structure and its algebras are infinite-dimensional. These algebras are converted into finite-dimensional under conditions. Based on the property of this method we obtain the algebraic structure of some physical potentials in the s-wave Klein-Gordon equation with scalar and vector potential which satisfy the Shape invariant condition.
We report on the well-posedness of the Feynman problem for the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. The main result is the invertibility of the Klein-Gordon operator with Feynman conditions at infinite times. Furthermore, the inverse is shown to coincide with the Duistermaat-Hörmander Feynman parametrix modulo smoothing terms.
A relativistic extension of our pseudo-shifted $\ell$-expansion technique is presented to solve for the eigenvalues of Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations. Once more we show the numerical usefulness of its results via comparison with available numerical integration data.
Modified Klein-Gordon-Fock equations were obtained on the basis of one-dimensional chaotic dynamics. The original Lagrangians were found. The concepts of \textit{m}-exponential map and groups with broken symmetry are introduced. A system of bitrial orthogonal functions is considered.
We extend our previous result on the focusing cubic Klein-Gordon equation in three dimensions to the non-radial case, giving a complete classification of global dynamics of all solutions with energy at most slightly above that of the ground state.
We study the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation with a convolution potential, and we prove that solutions with small analytic norm remain small for exponentially long times. The result is uniform with respect to $c \geq 1$, which however has to belong to a set of large measure.
We show that every tempered distribution, which is a solution of the (homogenous) Klein-Gordon equation, admits a ``tame'' restriction to the characteristic (hyper)surface $\{x^0+x^n=0\}$ in $(1+n)$-dimensional Minkowski space and is uniquely determined by this restriction. The restriction belongs to the space $\cS'_{\partial_-}(\R^n)$ which we have introduced in \cite{PullJMP}. Moreover, we show that every element of $\cS'_{\partial_-}(\R^n)$ appears as the ``tame'' restriction of a solution of the (homogeneous) Klein-Gordon equation.
We construct the one-dimensional analogous of von-Neumann Wigner potential to the relativistic Klein-Gordon operator, in which is defined taking asymptotic mathematical rules in order to obtain existence conditions of eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum. Using our constructed potential, we provide an explicit and analytical example of the Klein-Gordon operator with positive eigenvalues embedded in the so called relativistic "continuum region". Even so in this not standard example, we present the region of the "continuum" where those eigenvalues cannot occur. Besides, the absence of…
We study the one-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation with a convolution potential, and we prove that solutions with small $H^s$ norm remain small for long times. The result is uniform with respect to $c \geq 1$, which however has to belong to a set of large measure.
We prove the existence of time-periodic solutions and spatially localised solutions (breathers), in general nonlinear Klein-Gordon infinite lattices. The existence problem is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some appropriate function space which is solved by means of Schauder's Fixed Point Theorem.
We consider waves, which obey the semilinear Klein-Gordon equation, propagating in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetimes. The equations in the de Sitter and Einstein-de Sitter spacetimes are the important particular cases. We show the global in time existence in the energy class of solutions of the Cauchy problem.
In this article we construct the fundamental solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation in de Sitter spacetime. We use these fundamental solutions to represent solutions of the Cauchy problem and to prove $L^p-L^q$ estimates for the solutions of the equation with and without a source term.
This paper deals with the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in a bounded spatial domain. We study the existence of solutions having a specific form, namely standing waves in equilibrium with a purely electrostatic field. We prescribe Dirichlet boundary conditions on the matter field, and either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the electric potential.
The observation that the existance of the amazing reality and discreteness of the spectrum need not be attributed to the Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian is reemphasized in the context of the non-Hermitian Dirac and Klein-Gordon Hamiltonians. Complex Coulombic potentials are considered.
In this article we will develop some techniques aimed at the strong couplings in two-dimensional wave-Klein-Gordon system. We distinguish the roles of different type of decay factors and develop a method which permits us to "exchange" one type of decay into the other. Then a global existence result of a model problem is established. We also give a sketch of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system and establish the associate global existence result.
