Evolution of QCD Coupling Constant at Finite Temperature in the Background Field Method

The evolution of QCD coupling constant at finite temperature is considered by making use of the finite temperature renormalization group equation up to the one-loop order in the background field method with the Feynman gauge and the imaginary time formalism. The results are compared with the ones obtained in the literature. We point out, in particular, the origin of the discrepancies between different calculations, such as the choice of gauge, the break-down of Lorentz invariance, imaginary versus real time formalism and the applicability of the Ward identities at finite temperature.

Path Integrals with Generalized Grassmann Variables

We construct path integral representations for the evolution operator of q-oscillators with root of unity values of q-parameter using Bargmann-Fock representations with commuting and non-commuting variables, the differential calculi being q-deformed in both cases. For $q^2=-1$ we obtain a new form of Grassmann-like path integral.

Conserved Quantities and Electroweak Phase Transitions

Some cosmological consequences of including the adequate conserved quantities in the density matrix of the electroweak theory are investigated. Several arguments against including the charges associated to the spontaneously broken symmetry are presented. Special attention is focused on the phenomenon of $W$-boson condensation and its interplay with the phase transition for the symmetry restoration is considered. The emerging cosmological implications, such as on the baryon and lepton number densities, are of interest.

New Phenomenon of Nonlinear Regge Trajectory and Quantum Dual String Theory

The relation between the spin and the mass of an infinite number of particles in a $q$-deformed dual string theory is studied. For the deformation parameter $q$ a root of unity, in addition to the relation of such values of $q$ with the rational conformal field theory, the Fock space of each oscillator mode in the Fubini-Veneziano operator formulation becomes truncated. Thus, based on general physical grounds, the resulting spin-(mass)$^2$ relation is expected to be below the usual linear trajectory. For such specific values of $q$, we find that the linear Regge trajectory turns into a square-root trajectory as the mass increases.

Large Quantum Poincare Subgroup of q-Conformal Group and q-Minkowski Geometry

We construct quantum deformation of Poincaré group using as a starting point $SU(2,2)$ conformal group and twistor-like definition of the Minkowski space. We obtain quantum deformation of $SU(2,2)$ as a real form of multiparametric $GL(4,C)_{q_{ij},r}$. It is shown that Poincaré subgroup exists for special nonstandard one-parametric deformation only, the deformation parameter $r$ being equal to unity. This leads to commuting affine structure of the corresponding Minkowski space and simple structure of the corresponding Lie algebra, the deformation of the group being non-trivial.

Q-Deformed Path Integral

Using differential and integral calculi on the quantum plane which are invariant with respect to quantum inhomogeneous Euclidean group E(2)q , we construct path integral representation for the quantum mechanical evolution operator kernel of q-oscillator.

Anyon in External Electromagnetic Field: Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Formulations

We propose a simple model for a free relativistic particle of fractional spin in 2+1 dimensions which satisfies all the necessary conditions. The canonical quantization of the system leads to the description of one- particle states of the Poincare group with arbitrary spin. Using the Hamil- tonian formulation with the set of constraints, we introduce the electro- magnetic interaction of a charged anyon and obtain the Lagrangian. The Casimir operator of the extended algebra, which is the first-class constraint, is obtained and gives the equation of motion of the anyon. In particular, from the latter it follows that the gyromagnetic ratio for a charged anyon is two due to the parallelness of spin and momentum of the particle in 2+1 dimensions. The canonical quantization is also considered in this case.

Renormalization in Quantum Statistics of Systems with Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

Renormalization in quantum statistics in the presence of a charge associated to a spontaneously broken symmetry is discussed for the scalar field model. In contrast to the case of non-broken symmetry, the renormalization mass counterterm depends on the chemical potential. We argue that this is connected to the ill-defined character of the charge operator.

q-Supersymmetric Generalization of von Neumann's Theorem

Assuming that there exist operators which form an irreducible representation of the q-superoscillator algebra, it is proved that any two such representations are equivalent, related by a uniquely determined superunitary transformation. This provides with a q-supersymmetric generalization of the well-known uniqueness theorem of von Neumann for any finite number of degrees of freedom.

Statistics of Q-Oscillators, Quons and Relation to Fractional Satistics

The statistics of $q$-oscillators, quons and to some extent, of anyons are studied and the basic differences among these objects are pointed out. In particular, the statistical distributions for different bosonic and fermionic $q$-oscillators are found for their corresponding Fock space representations in the case when the hamiltonian is identified with the number operator. In this case and for nonrelativistic particles, the single-particle temperature Green function is defined with $q$-deformed periodicity conditions. The equations of state for nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic bosonic $q$-gases in an arbitrary space dimension are found near Bose statistics, as well as the one for an anyonic gas near Bose and Fermi statistics. The first corrections to the second virial coefficients are also evaluated. The phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation in the $q$-deformed gases is also discussed.

Operator Formulation of q-Deformed Dual String Model

We present an operator formulation of the q-deformed dual string model amplitude using an infinite set of q-harmonic oscillators. The formalism attains the crossing symmetry and factorization and allows to express the general n-point function as a factorized product of vertices and propagators.
