高斯和与量子力学

Gauss Sums and Quantum Mechanics

Vernon Armitage, Alice Rogers

摘要:

将Feynman路径求和方法应用于相空间为环面的量子力学系统,给出了二次高斯和的Landsberg-Schaar恒等式的一个新证明。在现有的非初等证明,其中使用无限的总和和一个限制过程或轮廓积分,只有有限的总和。经典相空间的环形性质导致了离散的位置和动量,因此也导致了离散的时间。相应的“路径积分”是有限的总和,其归一化导出,并显示出相互干扰的循环性和离散性,以给出开尔文镜像法的有限版本。

英文摘要:

By adapting Feynman's sum over paths method to a quantum mechanical system whose phase space is a torus, a new proof of the Landsberg-Schaar identity for quadratic Gauss sums is given. In contrast to existing non-elementary proofs, which use infinite sums and a limiting process or contour integration, only finite sums are involved. The toroidal nature of the classical phase space leads to discrete position and momentum, and hence discrete time. The corresponding `path integrals' are finite sums whose normalisations are derived and which are shown to intertwine cyclicity and discreteness to give a finite version of Kelvin's method of images.
