Quantum Numbers

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Chirality

29.6K
Chirality is a term that describes the lack of mirror symmetry in an object. In other words, chiral objects cannot be superposed on their mirror images. For example, our feet are chiral, as the mirror image of the left foot, the right foot, cannot be superposed on the left foot.
Chiral objects exhibit a sense of handedness when they interact with another chiral object. For example, our left foot can only fit in the left shoe and not in the right shoe. Achiral objects — objects that have...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Chirality in Nature

17.3K
Chirality is the most intriguing yet essential facet of nature, governing life’s biochemical processes and precision. It can be observed from a snail shell pattern in a macroscopic world to an amino acid, the minutest building block of life. Most of the snails around the world have right-coiled shells because of the intrinsic chirality in their genes. All the amino acids present in the human body exist in an enantiomerically pure state, except for glycine - the sole achiral amino acid.

Center of Gravity

6.7K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Physics
  • Quantum Gravity
  • String Theory

Background:

  • A higher spin gravity theory in 4D flat space was recently constructed.
  • This theory is chiral and uses a light-cone gauge, exhibiting stringy features like Chan-Paton factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the classical and quantum consistency of the constructed higher spin gravity theory.
  • To show that despite nontrivial interactions, all tree-level and loop amplitudes vanish.
  • To establish this as the first example of a quantum interacting higher spin gravity with an action.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the theory's action in the light-cone gauge.
  • Investigation of classical and quantum consistency.
  • Calculation of tree-level and loop amplitudes.

Main Results:

  • The higher spin gravity theory is shown to be consistent at both classical and quantum levels.
  • All tree-level amplitudes vanish on shell due to a 'coupling conspiracy'.
  • Loop corrections also vanish, resulting in a trivial quantum S-matrix (equal to one).

Conclusions:

  • The presented higher spin gravity theory is the first consistent interacting example with an action.
  • The vanishing amplitudes and trivial S-matrix align with existing no-go theorems.
  • Similar features are expected for higher spin gravities in anti-de Sitter space.
