Transformations of q-boson and q-fermion algebras

We investigate the algebras satisfied by q-deformed boson and fermion oscillators, in particular the transformations of the algebra from one form to another. Based on a specific algebra proposed in recent literature, we show that the algebra of deformed fermions can be transformed to that of undeformed standard fermions. Furthermore we also show that the algebra of q-deformed fermions can be transformed to that of undeformed standard bosons.

Patterns of Broken Chiral Symmetry in Quantum Chromodynamics

We establish that in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at zero temperature, SU_(L+R)(N_F) exhibits the vector mode conjectured by Georgi and SU_(L-R)(N_F)is realized in either the Nambu-Goldstone mode or else the axial-vector charge is also screened from view at infinity. The Wigner-Weyl mode is ruled out unless the beta function in QCD develops an infrared stable zero.

Generalized symmetric nonextensive thermostatistics and q-modified structures

We formulate a convenient generalization of the q-expectation value, based on the analogy of the symmetric quantum groups and q-calculus, and show that the q->q^{-1} symmetric nonextensive entropy preserves all of the mathematical structure of thermodynamics just as in the case of non-symmetric Tsallis statistics. Basic properties and analogies with quantum groups are discussed.

Thermostatistics of q-deformed boson gas

We show that a natural realization of the thermostatistics of q-bosons can be built on the formalism of q-calculus and that the entire structure of thermodynamics is preserved if we use an appropriate Jackson derivative in place of the ordinary thermodynamics derivative. This framework allows us to obtain a generalized q-boson entropy which depends on the q-basic number. We study the ideal q-boson gas in the thermodynamic limit which is shown to exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation with higher critical temperature and discontinuous specific heat.

The Georgi "Avatar" of Broken Chiral Symmetry in Quantum Chromodynamics

We establish that in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at zero temperature, SU_{L+R}(N_F) exhibits the vector mode conjectured by Georgi and SU_{L-R}(N_F) is realized in either the Nambu-Goldstone mode or else Q_5^a is also screened from view at infinity. The Wigner-Weyl mode is ruled out unless the beta function in QCD develops an infrared stable zero.

No Eigenvalue in Finite Quantum Electrodynamics

We re-examine Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) with massless electron as a finite quantum field theory as advocated by Gell-Mann-Low, Baker-Johnson, Adler, Jackiw and others. We analyze the Dyson-Schwinger equation satisfied by the massless electron in finite QED and conclude that the theory admits no nontrivial eigenvalue for the fine structure constant.

Infinities in Physics and Transfinite numbers in Mathematics

Several examples are used to illustrate how we deal cavalierly with infinities and unphysical systems in physics. Upon examining these examples in the context of infinities from Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers, the only known mathematical theory of infinities, we conclude that apparent inconsistencies in physics are a result of unfamiliar and unusual rules obeyed by mathematical infinities. We show that a re-examination of some familiar limiting results in physics leads to surprising and unfamiliar conclusions. It is not the purpose of this work to resolve the problem of infinities but the intent of this analysis is to point out that the study of real infinities in mathematics may be the first step towards delineating and understanding the problem of infinities in physics.

q-Deformed Boson Oscillators and Zero Point Energy

Just as for the ordinary quantum harmonic oscillators, we expect the zero-point energy to play a crucial role in the correct high temperature behavior. We accordingly reformulate the theory of the statistical distribution function for the q-deformed boson oscillators and develop an approximate theory incorporating the zero-point energy. We are then able to demonstrate that for small deformations, the theory reproduces the correct limits both for very high temperatures and for very low temperatures. The deformed theory thus reduces to the undeformed theory in these extreme cases.

q-deformed fermion oscillators, zero-point energy and inclusion-exclusion principle

The theory of Fermion oscillators has two essential ingredients: zero-point energy and Pauli exclusion principle. We devlop the theory of the statistical mechanics of generalized q-deformed Fermion oscillator algebra with inclusion principle (i.e., without the exclusion principle), which corresponds to ordinary fermions with Pauli exclusion principle in the classical limit $q \to 1$. Some of the remarkable properties of this theory play a crucial role in the understanding of the q-deformed Fermions. We show that if we insist on the weak exclusion principle, then the theory has the expected low temperature limit as well as the correct classical q-limit.
