Any anti-matter particle in Nature seeks out and gets annihilated by the first matter particle it encounters. (always the first).

Is there a kind of superluminal communication between matter anti-matter particle pairs ?

Is this consistent with the laws of physics ?:))

No. I am not sure what would make you believe this.

I don't think that a positron can be annihilated by a proton.

I am not sure what would make you believe this either.

That is not correct. There's no "seeking out" going on. They're both moving through space on whatever paths they're on and being pushed around by whatever forces happen to be acting on them. If they get close enough they'll interact, just like any other particles moving about.
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
