Links. Relating Different Physical Systems Through the Common QFT Algebraic Structure

Abstract: In this report I review some aspects of the algebraic structure of QFT related with the doubling of the degrees of freedom of the system under study. I show how such a doubling is related to the characterizing feature of QFT consisting in the existence of infinitely many unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical (anti-)commutation relations and how this is described by the q-deformed Hopf algebra. I consider several examples, such as the damped harmonic oscillator, the quantum Brownian motion, th… Show more

“…The algebra is indeed duplicated by the map A → A 1 ⊗ A 2 , which is the Hopf coproduct map A → A ⊗ 1 + 1 ⊗ A. Convenient combinations of the deformed coproducts in the q-deformed Hopf algebra, which are noncommutative [3,[16][17][18]31,32], produce the Bogoliubov transformations of "angle" Γ t and the q-deformation parameter controls the coherent condensate of the state |0(t) . This provides the physical meaning of the deformed Hopf algebraic structure and of the non-trivial topology of paths in the phase space [31,33].…”

“…The environment a κ operators are thus time-reversed mirror modes of the brain system. Their introduction is necessary in order to set up the formalism for the dissipative system [21,42,43]. In such a formalism the environment is thus described as the time-reversed copy, the Double [34], of the dissipative system.…”

“…The relationships between what have been discussed so far and fractals is promptly clarified by a series of recent works (Celeghini, Rasetti, & Vitiello, 1992) (Celeghini, De Martino, De Siena, Rasetti, & Vitiello, 1995), (Vitiello G. , 2007), wherein Vitiello et al have excellently shown that a functional representation of self-similarity is mathematically isomorphic to squeezed quantum coherent states, where Heisenberg's uncertainty is minimized. Quantum coherence thus appears to underlie the ubiquitous recurrence of fractals and self-similarity in Nature (Vitiello G. , 2009).…”
