XIX<vPHHQP<XX

Welcome to the website supporting the virtual seminar series on Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians in Quantum Physics.

This virtual seminar series is part of the regular real life seminar series on Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians in Quantum Physics that was initiated by Miloslav Znojil in 2003. It is intended to bridge the gap, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, between the real life XIXth meeting and the upcoming XXth meeting in Santa Fe in 2021. For past events see the PHHQP website. The subject matter of this series is the study of physical aspects of non-Hermitian systems from a theoretical and experimental point of view. Of special interest are systems that possess a PT-symmetry (a simultaneous reflection in space and time).

Underdetermined Dyson-Schwinger equations

Abstract: This talk examines the effectiveness of the Dyson-Schwinger (DS) equations as a calculational tool in quantum field theory. The DS equations are an infinite sequence of coupled equations that are satisfied exactly by the connected Green’s functions Gn of the field theory. These equations link lower to higher Green’s functions and, if they are truncated, the resulting finite system of equations is underdetermined. The simplest way to solve the underdetermined system is to set all higher Green’s function(s) to zero and then to solve the resulting determined system for the first few Green’s functions. The G1 or G2 so obtained can be compared with exact results in solvable models to see if the accuracy improves for high-order truncations. Five D=0 models are studied: Hermitian φ4 and φ6 and non-Hermitian iφ3, -φ4, and iφ5 theories. The truncated DS equations give a sequence of approximants that converge slowly to a limiting value but this limiting value always differs from the exact value by a few percent. More sophisticated truncation schemes based on mean-field-like approximations do not fix this formidable calculational problem.

This is joined work with Carl M. Bender and Christos Karapoulitidis
