Linearized Q-Ball Perturbations

Linearized deformations of the thick-walled (low-amplitude) (1+1)-dimensional Q-ball may be decomposed into relativistic modes, which are roughly plane waves, and also long-wavelength corotating and counterrotating Floquet modes. Each mode oscillates at a pair of mirror frequencies which average to the Q-ball frequency. The corotating modes are those of a breather or oscillon plus a very loosely bound mode. The counterrotating modes are described by an irrational-level Pöschl-Teller potential, with two discrete modes which mix with their unbound mirrors, unbinding them and turning them into Feshbach-type quasinormal modes. Expanding to leading order in the Q-ball amplitude, we present all of these modes in closed form, except for the bound mode which does not exist at leading order.

Generalized uncertainty relations

The standard uncertainty relations (UR) in quantum mechanics are typically used for unbounded operators (like the canonical pair). This implies the need for the control of the domain problems. On the other hand, the use of (possibly bounded) functions of basic observables usually leads to more complex and less readily interpretable relations. Also, UR may turn trivial for certain states if the commutator of observables is not proportional to a positive operator. In this letter we consider a generalization of standard UR resulting from the use of two, instead of one, vector states. The possibility to link these states to each other in various ways adds additional flexibility to UR, which may compensate some of the above mentioned drawbacks. We discuss applications of the general scheme, leading not only to technical improvements, but also to interesting new insight.
