Noncommutative

In a non-Abelian theory (where the Hamiltonian contains noncommuting matrices and the solutions are vector or spinor functions, with N in Eq. (90) >1) we also start with a vector potential Af, [In the manner of Eq. (94), this can be decomposed into components A, in which the superscript labels the matrices in the theory). Next, we define the field intensity tensor through a covaiiant curl by... 

Here, are the structure constants for the Lie group defined by the set of the noncommuting matrices appearing in Eq. (94) and which also appear both in the Lagrangean and in the Sclu odinger equation. We further define the covaiiant derivative by... 

We choose 2x2 matrices for simplicity, but we appreciate that the principle applies in general. The (noncommutative) products are... 

Rules may be combined by composition i.e., two rules, (f>i and 2, may be combined to form the rule (f) = 4>i(t>2- The set of rules obtained in this way is closed under composition, although the number of sites in the neighborhood will typically have to be increased. If a rule is composed with itself, then = (fxp) generates patterns consisting of alternate time steps of the patterns of . In general, composition is noncommutative (f>i(p2 ...

When solving the model problem concerned, the transition from the A th iteration to the (k + l)th iteration is performed either in 9 steps or in 26 steps 5 operations of addition and 4 operations of multiplication during the course of the explicit Chebyshev s method and 12 operations of addition and 14 operations of multiplication in the case of ADM in connection with the double elimination (first, along the rows and then along the columns). This provides reason enough to conclude that in the case of noncommutative operators the first method is rather economical than the second one. Both 1 1... 

Let us stress here that the applications of the above framework to noncommutative operators Ay and A2 could result in wrong reasoning in light of the property that operator (27) is non-self-adjoint and scheme (26) does not fall within the category of two-layer iteration schemes lying in the fundamentals of the general theory. 

K r,f,r) = e r e " ° r) which neglects all quantum effects arising from the noncommutativity of the operators and v. In order to appreciate the nature of the approximation, let us consider the case where the energy potential v(r) = v + A r, with v and A constant quantities. Although the QMP for a particle subjected to a constant force is one of the few cases explicitly known [32], for our convenience we adopt the following exact alternative representation of the propagator for a particle moving in a linear potential [see Appendix A, eq. (A.8)]...

For large P, (3/P is small and it is possible to find a good short-time approximation to the Green function p. This is usually done by employing the Trotter product formula for the exponentials of the noncommuting operators K and V... 

However, in all the rest of their approach, Robertson and Yarwood consider the slow mode Q as a scalar obeying simply classical mechanics, because they neglect the noncommutativity of Q with its conjugate momentum P. As a consequence, the logic of their approach is to consider the fluctuation of the slow mode as obeying classical statistical mechanics and not quantum statistical mechanics. Thus we write, in place of Eq. (138), the corresponding classical formula ... 

The relationship between different components of orbital angular momentum such as Lz and Lx can be investigated by multiple SG experiments as discussed for electron spin and photon polarization before. The results are in fact no different. This is a consequence of the noncommutativity of the operators Lx and Lz. The two observables cannot be measured simultaneously. While total angular momentum is conserved, the components vary as the applied analyzing field changes. As in the case of spin or polarization, measurement of Lx, for instance, disturbs any previously known value of Lz. The structure of the wave function does not allow Lx to be made definite when Lz has an eigenvalue, and vice versa. 

The fluctuations are the consequence of nondistributivity of the A transformation. We need a new mathematical framework (i.e., nondistributive algebra) to analyze nonintegrable systems. This fact reminds us that whenever we found new aspects in physics, we needed new mathematical frameworks, such as calculus for Newton mechanics, noncommutative algebra for quanmm mechanics, and the Riemann geometry for relativity. 

Following Ziesche [35, 55], in order to develop the theory of cumulants for noncommuting creation and annihilation operators (as opposed to classical variables), we introduce held operators /(x) and / (x) satisfying the anticommutation relations for a Grassmann held. 

Since the operators and matrices appearing in our considerations are, in general, noncommutative, we assume the following conventions ... 

If we want to show that there are physical concrete situations not described by Heisenberg s uncertainty relations, it is necessary to predict the uncertainties, for the two conjugate noncommutative observables, for example, position, Ax, and the uncertainty in momentum, p, for the microparticle M, after the interaction with the photon, and then make their product and see whether they are contained in Heisenberg uncertainty measurement space. 

Whereas matrix addition (9.8) and scalar multiplication (9.9) have the usual associative and commutative properties of their scalar analogs, matrix multiplication (9.11), although associative [i.e., A(BC) = (AB)C], is inherently ncommutative [i.e., AB BAJ. This noncommutativity leads to some of the most characteristic and surprising features of matrix algebra, and underlies the still more surprising matrix-algebraic features of quantum theory. 

Note that and A r need not be the same matrix (although they are for the important special case of real symmetric A that we are most concerned with). Note also that AT1 need not exist, even if A 0. A matrix for which A"1 exists is called nonsingular (see below) and leads to many arithmetic extensions that are not permitted to singular matrices. The many varieties of singularity (not just A = 0) and the (potentially) noncommutative aspects of multiplication distinguish matrix algebra from its scalar counterpart in interesting ways.
