January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague1 PT-symetrické modely v kvantové fyzice: novinky z konference (Stellenbosch, listopad 2005)

January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague2 Otázka první: No jo, novinky, ale v jaké oblasti fyziky? Odpověď (v uspořádání podle řečníků): Scholz, Geyer, Heiss: jaderná fyzika Mostafazadeh: relativistická QM Bender: teorie pole a kosmologie Berry: optika Günther: magnetohydrodynamika a další: statistika,nelin.f.,SUSY,atom.f.

January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague3 Otázka druhá: jestliže novinky, pak napřed to nejzajímavější Uspořádání vyjde skoro stejně: Scholz, Geyer: o jednoznačnosti Θ Mostafazadeh: klasická limita PTSQM Bender: usnadnění regularizace Feyn.d. Berry, Ahmed: singularity, wedge-edge Günther, Kirillov: okolí EP, klasifikace Jones: Thirring, sine-Gordon (+rand.m.)

January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague4 Napřed ale krátká rekapitulace PTT: nehermitovské H – levé a pravé stavy matem.: nutnost dokázat realitu spektra modif. Dir. značení: biorthogonalita, bi-úplnost, spektr.repr. cíl: fyzika. Potřeba vybrat metriku Ө a inovovat principy korespondence; v tomto smyslu je PT pouhá technikalita

January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague5 No a teď k prvnímu tématu: připomínám: jedná se o starý problém nejednoznačnosti Θ s jadernou motivací v Dysonově IBM trfci herm. -> neherm. hlavní výhoda: zjednodušení výpočtů hlavní pokrok: Scholz (anglicky: PTO)

January 12, 2006Physics Institute, Prague10 Přišel čas na druhé téma: připomínám: očekává se vybudování klasické mechaniky s komplexním x či p hlavní nevýhoda: třista let to nikoho nenapadlo hlavní pokrok: Ali M. (anglicky: PTO)
