Analytical Quantum Dynamics in Infinite Phase Space

We develop a dynamical theory, based on a system of ordinary differential equations describing the motion of particles which reproduces the results of quantum mechanics. The system generalizes the Hamilton equations of classical mechanics to the quantum domain, and turns into them in the classical limit $\hbar\rightarrow 0$. The particles' motions are completely determined by the initial conditions. In this theory, the wave function $ψ$ of quantum mechanics is equal to the exponent of an action function, obtained by integrating some Lagrangian function along particle trajectories, described by equations of motion. Consequently, the equation for the logarithm of a wave function is related to the equations of motion in the same way as the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is related to the Hamilton equations in classical mechanics. We demonstrate that the probability density of particles, moving according to these equations, should be given by a standard quantum-mechanical relation, $ρ=|ψ|^2$. The theory of quantum measurements is presented, and the mechanism of nonlocal correlations between results of distant measurements with entangled particles is revealed. In the last section, we extend the theory to particles with nonzero spin.

Gauge symmetry breaking, collective modes, and boson superconductivity in the t-J model

A theory of the t-J model in the presence of an external electromagnetic field is presented. The 1/N expansion for this model in the slave-fermion representation is developed, and it is shown that all the general properties of the theory are satisfied in every order of the 1/N expansion separately. A convenient procedure of the gauge fixing is suggested. It is shown that superconductivity may exist in this model even in the absence of the electron pairing. It is argued that experimental predictions of the theory might agree with the observed properties of the copper oxides.

The 1/N Expansion and Long Range Antiferromagnetic Order

The staggered magnetization of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet in two dimensions can be systematically approximated by a 1/N expansion. Cancellation between self energy diagrams leads to a Luttinger-like theorem for the ground state. We prove (for a smooth enough self energy) that the long range order of mean field theory ($N$=$\infty$) survives corrections to all orders of 1/N. Divergences of this series provides a new route to the disordered phases of quantum antiferromagnets.

The $1/N$ Expansion and Spin Correlations in Constrained Wavefunctions

We develop a large-N expansion for Gutzwiller projected spin states. We consider valence bonds singlets, constructed by Schwinger bosons or fermions, which are variational ground states for quantum antiferromagnets. This expansion is simpler than the familiar expansions of the quantum Heisenberg model, and thus more instructive. The diagrammatic rules of this expansion allow us to prove certain identities to all orders in 1/N. We derive the on-site spin fluctuations sum rule for arbitrary N. We calculate the correlations of the one dimensional Valence Bonds Solid states and the Gutzwiller Projected Fermi Gas upto order 1/N. For the bosons case, we are surprised to find that the mean field, the order 1/N and the exact correlations are simply proportional. For the fermions case, the 1/N correction enhances the zone edge singularity. The comparison of our leading order terms to known results for N=2, enhances our understanding of large-N approximations in general.
