Physical principles such as unitarity, causality, and locality can constrain the space of consistent effective field theories (EFTs) by imposing two-sided bounds on the allowed values of Wilson coefficients. In this paper, we consider the…
We consider the inverse scattering problem at fixed and sufficiently large energy for the nonrelativistic and relativistic Newton equation in $\R^n$, $n \ge 2$, with a smooth and short range electromagnetic field $(V,B)$. Using results of…
We present a new proof of global existence and long range scattering, from small initial data, for the one-dimensional cubic gauge invariant nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, and for Hartree equations in dimension $n \geq 2$. The proof…
The elastic $\alpha$-$^{12}$C scattering at low energies for $l=0,1,2,3,4,5,6$ is studied in effective field theory. We discuss the construction of the $S$ matrices of elastic $\alpha$-$^{12}$C scattering in terms of the amplitudes of…
It is shown that the amplitude for reflection of a Dirac particle with arbitrarily low momentum incident on a potential of finite range is -1 and hence the transmission coefficient T=0 in general. If however the potential supports a…
In this work, we use McGuire's model to describe scattering of three spinless identical particles in one spatial dimension, we first present analytic solutions of Faddeev's equation for scattering of three spinless particles in free space.…
By large-distance asymptotics, in conventional scattering theory, at the cost of losing the information of the distance between target and observer, one arrives at an explicit expression for scattering wave functions represented by a…
The effective field theory approach is applied to the three-nucleon process of $S=1/2$ neutron-deuteron scattering in the S-wave, including the effective range parameters summed at all orders. This is achieved through a modification of the…
Under reasonable working assumptions including the polynomial boundedness, one proves the well-known Cerulus-Martin lower bound on how fast an elastic scattering amplitude can decrease in the hard-scattering regime. In this paper we…
Singular potentials (the inverse-square potential, for example) arise in many situations and their quantum treatment leads to well-known ambiguities in choosing boundary conditions for the wave-function at the position of the potential's…
In the case where the charge of the particle is small compared to its mass, we describe the asymptotics of the Lorentz-Maxwell equation for any finite-energy data. As time goes to infinity, we prove that the speed of the particle converges…
Positivity bounds on scattering amplitudes provide a necessary condition for a low-energy effective field theory to have a consistent ultraviolet completion. Their extension to gravity theories has been studied in the past years aiming at…
In any consistent massive quantum field theory there are well known bounds on scattering amplitudes at high energies. In conformal field theory there is no scattering amplitude, but the Mellin amplitude is a well defined object analogous to…
We develop a theory describing neutral atoms scattering at low energies in an optical lattice. We show that for a repulsive interaction, as the microscopic scattering length increases, the effective scattering amplitude approaches a…
We prove the absence of non-scattering energies for potentials in the plane having a corner of angle smaller than $\pi$. This extends the earlier result of Bl{\aa}sten, P\"aiv\"arinta and Sylvester who considered rectangular corners. In…
A rigorous theory of diffraction scattering from extended objects is proposed. The present theory is based on a multiple asymptotic expansion of an integral equation for the exact wave function in terms of the large parameters of the…
Let $f\in L^2(S^2)$ be an arbitrary fixed function with small norm on the unit sphere $S^2$, and $D\subset \R^3$ be an arbitrary fixed bounded domain. Let $k>0$ and $\alpha\in S^2$ be fixed. It is proved that there exists a potential $q\in…
We study the energy critical wave equation in 3 dimensions around a single soliton. We obtain energy boundedness (modulo unstable modes) for the linearised problem. We use this to construct scattering solutions in a neighbourhood of…
The variable phase approach to potential scattering with regular spherically symmetric potentials satisfying (\ref{1e}), and studied by Calogero in his book$^{5}$, is revisited, and we show directly that it gives the absolute definition of…
A theory of electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering by many small particles of an arbitrary shape is developed. The particles are perfectly conducting or impedance. For a small impedance particle of an arbitrary shape an explicit analytical…
