A number of wave functions besides the spherical harmonics are obtainable from the irreducible representations of the two-dimensional unitary group.

The equivariant Hopf bifurcation theorem states that bifurcating branches of periodic solutions with certain symmetries exist when the fixed-point subspace of that subgroup of symmetries is two dimensional. We show that there is a group-theoretic restriction on the subgroup of symmetries in order for that subgroup to have a two-dimensional fixed-point subspace in any representation. We illustrate this technique for all irreducible representations of SO(3) on the space V l of spherical harmonics for l even.

Quantum theory is awash in multidimensional integrals that contain exponentials in the integration variables, their inverses, and inverse polynomials of those variables. The present paper introduces a means to reduce pairs of such integrals to one dimension when the integrand contains powers multiplied by an arbitrary function of xy/(x+y) multiplying various combinations of exponentials. In some cases these exponentials arise directly from transition-amplitudes involving products of plane waves, hydrogenic wave functions, and Yukawa and/or Coulomb potentials. In other cases these exponentials arise from Gaussian transforms of such functions.

Nonparabolicity effects in two-dimensional electron systems are quantitatively analyzed. A formalism has been developed which allows to incorporate a nonparabolic bulk dispersion relation into the Schrödinger equation. As a consequence of nonparabolicity the wave functions depend on the in-plane momentum. Each subband is parametrized by its energy, effective mass and a subband nonparabolicity coefficient. The formalism is implemented in a one-dimensional Schrödinger-Poisson solver which is applicable both to silicon inversion layers and heterostructures.

In two previous papers (1, 2) representations of the unitary groups U4, U2 were found which described some of the properties of nucleons and electrons. In particular, the many electron wave functions were constructed from the irreducible representations of U2 restricted to the proper orthochronous Lorentz group Lp. In this paper the irreducible representations of U4 found in (1) will be shown to be also irreducible representations of the complete homogeneous Lorentz group L0 and the techniques of matrix contraction employed in (2) will be used to find the precise form of the matrices of the infinitesimal ring.

In this work the quantum theory of two-dimensional dilaton black holes is studied using the Wheeler-De Witt equation. The solutions correspond to wave functions of the black hole. It is found that for an observer inside the horizon, there are uncertainty relations for the black hole mass and a parameter in the metric determining the Hawking flux. Only for a particular value of this parameter can both be known with arbitrary accuracy. In the generic case there is instead a relation that is very similar to the so-called string uncertainty relation.
