Geometric Phase, Curvature, and the Monodromy Group
B. H. Lavenda
The geometric phase requires the multivaluedness of solutions to Fuchsian second-order equations. The angle, or its complement, is given by half the area of a spherical triangle in…
Noneuclidean Tessellations and their relation to Reggie Trajectories
B. H. Lavenda
The coefficients in the confluent hypergeometric equation specify the Regge trajectories and the degeneracy of the angular momentum states. Bound states are associated with real an…
The Khuri-Jones Threshold Factor as an Automorphic Function
B. H. Lavenda
The Khuri-Jones correction to the partial wave scattering amplitude at threshold is an automorphic function for a dihedron. An expression for the partial wave amplitude is obtained…
Errors in the Bag Model of Strings, and Regge Trajectories Represent the Conservation of Angular Momentum in Hyperbolic Space
B. H. Lavenda
The MIT bag model is shown to be wrong because the bag pressure cannot be held constant, and the volume can be fixed in terms of it. The bag derivation of Regge's trajectories is i…
What's Wrong With Black Hole Thermodynamics?
B. H. Lavenda
Not only is the Bekenstein expression for the entropy of a black hole a convex function of the energy, rather than being a concave function as it must be, it predicts a final equil…
The Lineage of String Theory
B. H. Lavenda
The Regge trajectories, upon which string theory is based, behave as rigid rotators rather than vibrating strings. The same relation, between the angular momentum, and the square o…
