The geometry of electron wave functions
Yu. A. Aminov ILTPE -- B.~Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kharkov
Abstract:
To each wave function we assign a codimension-two submanifold in Euclidean space. We study the case of the wave function of a single electron in the hydrogen atom or other hydrogen-type atoms with quantum numbers $n$, $l$, $m$ in detail. We prove theorems describing the behaviour of the scalar and sectional curvature of the constructed submanifold, depending on the quantum numbers. We also consider the external geometry of the submanifold.
Bibliography: 9 titles.
Keywords:
hydrogen atom, submanifold, curvature, quantum numbers.
