An investigation of (nonadditive) scattering invariants in classical mechanics and quantum theory by differential topological methods

Abstract

The structure of invariants of the scattering transformation in (relativistic and nonrelativistic) classical mechanics and quantum theory is investigated and a constructive approach to finding and classifying them by exploiting and developing certain differential topological methods is provided. While, in the form of various by-products, results about the perhaps better known so-called additive scattering invariants are (re)derived, the primary concern here is with the less well-known nonadditive (i.e., several particle) conserved quantities.
