Relying on Feynman-Kac path-integral methodology, we present a new statistical perspective on wave single-scattering by complex three-dimensional objects. The approach is implemented on three models -- Schiff approximation, Born…

The dispersion relations and S-matrix of the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling are considered in a certain scaling limit. (In the process we derive a useful small-coupling expansion of the exact lattice dispersion relations.)…
