CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe analyze the extension of the well known relation between Brownian motion and the Schrödinger equation to the family of the Lévy processes. We consider a Lévy-Schrödinger equation where the usual kinetic energy operator - the Laplacian - is generalized by means of a self-adjoint, pseudo-differential operator whose symbol is the logarithmic characteristic of an infinitely divisible law. The Lévy-Khintchin formula shows then how to write down this operator in an integro-differential form. When the underlying Lévy process is stable we recover as a particular case the fractional Schrödinger equation. A few examples are finally given and we find that there are physically relevant models - such as a form of the relativistic Schrödinger equation - that are in the domain of the non stable Lévy-Schrödinger equations.

| Abstract: | We analyze the extension of the well known relation between Brownian motion and the Schrödinger equation to the family of the Lévy processes. We consider a Lévy-Schrödinger equation where the usual kinetic energy operator - the Laplacian - is generalized by means of a self-adjoint, pseudo-differential operator whose symbol is the logarithmic characteristic of an infinitely divisible law. The Lévy-Khintchin formula shows then how to write down this operator in an integro-differential form. When the underlying Lévy process is stable we recover as a particular case the fractional Schrödinger equation. A few examples are finally given and we find that there are physically relevant models - such as a form of the relativistic Schrödinger equation - that are in the domain of the non stable Lévy-Schrödinger equations. |
