We introduce the notion of a "rigid" quantum system as a system with constant relative positions of its nuclei and constant relative distribution of the electrons with respect to the nuclei. In accordance with this definition, a molecule…
We investigate a one-dimensional system of $N$ particles, initially distributed with random positions and velocities, interacting through binary collisions. The collision rule is such that there is a time after which the $N$ particles do…
We analyze the electromagnetic scattering of massive particles with and without spin wherein one particle (or both) is electrically neutral. Using the techniques of effective field theory, we isolate the leading long distance effects, both…
Systems of classical continuous particles in the grand canonical ensemble interacting through purely attractive, yet stable, interactions are defined. By a lattice approximation, FKG ferromagnetic inequalities are shown to hold for such…
The oldest enigma in fundamental particle physics is: Where do the observed masses of elementary particles come from? Inspired by observation of the empirical particle mass spectrum we propose that the masses of elementary particles arise…

The bare-dressed technique is, for the first time, used in collision theory. The approach is valid for classical as well for quantum binary elastic collisions in the non relativistic regime. The same formalism can be used for inelastic…

As one of the most elegant theories in physics, Yang-Mills (YM) theory not only incorporates Maxwell's equations unifying electromagnetism, but also underpins the standard model explaining the electroweak and strong interactions in a…
We study the behaviour of Yang-Mills theory under the inclusion of gravity. In the weak- gravity limit, the running gauge coupling receives no contribution from the gravitational sector, if all symmetries are preserved. This holds true with…
The quantum field theory in the presence of classical background electromagnetic fields is reviewed. We give a pedagogical introduction to the Feynman-Furry method of describing non-perturbative interactions with very strong electromagnetic…
For a nonrelativistic classical particle undergoing arbitrary oscillations, the generalized effective potential Y is derived from nonlinear eigenfrequencies of the particle-field system. Specifically, the ponderomotive potential is extended…
Nonlinear electrodynamics with two parameters is studied. It is shown that singularities of point-like electric charges are absent and the electromagnetic energy is finite. Corrections to Coulomb's law are found. The finite static electric…
Abelian and nonabelian gauge invariant states are directly compared to revisit how the unconfined abelian theory is expressed. It is argued that the Yang-Mills equations have no obvious physical content apart from their relation to…
We compute here the Yang-Mills effective action on Moyal space by integrating over the scalar fields in a noncommutative scalar field theory with harmonic term, minimally coupled to an external gauge potential. We also explain the special…
We re-examine Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) with massless electron as a finite quantum field theory as advocated by Gell-Mann-Low, Baker-Johnson, Adler, Jackiw and others. We analyze the Dyson-Schwinger equation satisfied by the massless…
In this paper we (re)consider the problem of electromagnetic interactions for massless spin 2 particles and show that in $(A)dS$ spaces with non-zero cosmological constant it is indeed possible (at least in linear approximation) to switch…
In Yang-Mills theory massless point sources lead naturally to shock-wave configurations. Their magnetic counterparts endow the vacuum of the four-dimensional compact abelian model with a Coulomb-gas behaviour whose physical implications are…
We report various many-body theoretical approaches to the nonlinear decay rate and energy loss of charged particles moving in an interacting free electron gas. These include perturbative formulations of the scattering matrix, the…
