Using the Boltzmann transport approach, we study the effective volume of a correlated heavy quark pair in a partonic medium based on their collision rate. We find that the effective volume is finite and depends sensitively on the momentum…
We study a class of polaron-type Hamiltonians with sufficiently regular form factor in the interaction term. We investigate the strong-coupling limit of the model, and prove suitable bounds on the ground state energy as a function of the…

Here we calculate the strength of the $d$-wave pairing and the $k$ dependence of the gap function associated with the nematic fluctuations of a CuO$_2$ model as the doping $p$ approaches a quantum critical point. Higher order $d$-wave…

We estimate the composite fermion effective mass for a general two particle potential r^{-\alpha} using exact diagonalization for polarized electrons in the lowest Landau level on a sphere. Our data for the ground state energy at filling…
We study the relation between the finite-range (meson-exchange) and zero-range (point-coupling) representations of effective nuclear interactions in the relativistic mean-field framework. Starting from the phenomenological interaction…
Solutions of interacting linear polymers are mapped onto a system of ``soft'' spherical particles interacting via an effective pair potential. This coarse-graining reduces the individual monomer-level description to a problem involving only…
We apply a large-scale summation of Feynman diagrams, including the class of parquet diagrams plus important contributions outside the parquet class, for calculating effective pairing interactions and subsequently the superfluid gap in…
In cold atoms and in the crust of neutron stars the pairing gap can reach values comparable with the Fermi energy. While in nuclei the neutron gap is smaller, it is still of the order of a few percent of the Fermi energy. The pairing…
A Skyrme-like effective interaction is built up from the equation of state of nuclear matter. The latter is calculated in the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation with two and three body forces. A complete Skyrme…
