It is shown that every ray transfer matrix, often called the ABCD matrix, can be written as a similarity transformation of one of the Wigner matrices that dictate the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles, while the transformation matrix is a rotation preceded by a squeeze. The implementation of this mathematical procedure is described, and how it facilitates the calculations for scattering processes in periodic systems is explained. Multilayer optics and resonators such as laser cavities are discussed in detail. For both cases, the one-cycle transfer matrix is written as a similarity transformation of one of the Wigner matrices, rendering the computation of the ABCD matrix for an arbitrary number of cycles tractable.

Tensor form factors of B -> K-1 transition from QCD light cone sum rules Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-30) The tensor form factors of B into p-wave axial vector meson transition are calculated within light cone QCD sum rules method. The parametrizations of the tensor form factors based on the series expansion are presented.
Pseudospin and spin symmetry in the Dirac equation with Woods-Saxon potential and tensor potential AYDOĞDU, OKTAY; Sever, Ramazan (2010-01-01) The Dirac equation is solved approximately for the Woods-Saxon potential and a tensor potential with the arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number kappa under pseudospin and spin symmetry. The energy eigenvalues and the Dirac spinors are obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. The energy eigenvalues are calculated numerically.
Topological unitarity identities in Chern-Simons theories Fainberg, VY; Shikakhwa, MS (1996-05-15) Starting from the generating functional of the theory of relativistic spinors in 2+1 dimensions interacting through the pure Chern-Simons gauge field, the S matrix is constructed and seen to be formally the same as that of spinor quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions with Feynman diagrams having external photon lines excluded, and with the propagator of the topological Chern-Simons photon substituted for the Maxwell photon propagator. It is shown that the absence of real topological photons in the compl...
Spontaneous symmetry breaking at two loop in 3-d massless scalar electrodynamics Tan, PN; Tekin, Bayram; Hosotani, Y (Elsevier BV, 1996-11-21) In three-dimensional Maxwell-Chem-Simons massless scalar electrodynamics with phi(6) coupling, the U(1) symmetry is spontaneously broken at two loop order regardless of the presence or absence of the Maxwell term. Dimensional transmutation takes place in pure Chem-Simons scalar electrodynamics. The beta function for the phi(6) coupling is independent of gauge couplings.
HAMILTONIAN QUANTIZATION OF THE CP1 SIGMA MODEL IN 1+2 DIMENSIONS Pak, Namık Kemal (1992-09-01) CP1 sigma model with Hopf interaction in 1 + 2 dimensions is quantized canonically using a lifted formulation. In this formulation the Hopf invariant is still a local functional of the fields. However, the constraint structure is as simple as that of a U(1) gauge theory without any nonlinearity constraints. As a by-product, the theta-dependent fractional spin is computed in this local setting.
