The renormalization group applied to perturbation theory is ordinarily used to define the running coupling constant in the spacelike region. However, to describe processes with timelike momenta transfers, it is important to have a…

The adaptive perturbation chooses a non-standard decomposition. The Hamiltonian becomes a sum of solvable and perturbation parts. We calculate the spectrum using the adaptive perturbation method at the leading-order to compare to numerical…
The perturbation theory based on typicality introduced in Ref. [1] and further refined in Refs. [2, 3] provides a powerful tool since it is intended to be applicable to a wide range of scenarios while relying only on a few parameters. Even…
