We consider the functional Schrodinger equation for a self interacting scalar field in an expanding geometry. By performing a time dependent scale transformation on the argument of the field we derive a functional Schrodinger equation whose…
We analyze the many-particle Schrodinger equation for fermions in a thermal ensemble by introducing an exponential operator expansion, defined in the context of thermofield dynamics. The expansion is optimized variationally at each time…
In a series of publications [\ref{LNWW},\ref{Schroedinger}], L\"uscher et al. have demonstrated the usefulness of the Schr\"odinger functional in pure SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theory. In this paper, it is shown how their formalism can be…
Similarly to the interaction lagrangian, the possible boundary conditions in quantum field theories on space-time manifolds with boundaries are strongly constrained by the symmetry and scaling properties of the theory. Based on this general…

We present multifermions in the spherically symmetric Einstein-Dirac system. Dirac fermions are self-localized within a spherically symmetric Einstein gravity, i.e., the Schwarzschild-like space-time metric. Most of previous studies of the…
Relativistic spin-1/2 particles in curved spacetime are naturally described by Dirac theory, which is a dynamical and Lorentz-invariant field theory. In this work, we propose a non-dynamical fermion theory in 3+1 dimensions dubbed spinor…
Dirac fermions on a two-dimensional lattice with disorder are considered. The Dirac mass, which controls the gap between the two bands of the fermions, is subject to random fluctuations. Another type of disorder is discussed presented by a…
We analyse the interacting theory of charged fermions, scalars, pseuso-scalars and photons propagating in 2-dimensional curved spacetime in detail. For certain values of the coupling constants the theory reduces to the gauged Thirring model…
Domain wall fermions are defined on a lattice with an extra direction the size of which controls the chiral properties of the theory. When gauge fields are coupled to domain wall fermions the extra direction is treated as an internal flavor…
We model backreaction in AdS$_2$ JT gravity via a proposed boundary dual Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev quantum dot coupled to Dirac fermion matter and study it from the perspective of quantum entanglement and chaos. The boundary effective action…
The fuzzy-sphere regularisation is a powerful tool to study conformal field theories (CFT) in three spacetime dimensions. In this paper, we extend its scope to CFTs with local fermionic operators. We realise the free-Majorana-fermion CFT on…
Some key features of the symmetries of the Schr\"odinger equation that are common to a much broader class of dynamical systems (some under construction) are illustrated. I discuss the algebra/superalgebra duality involving first and…
The Dirac-like equation governing dynamics of free anomalous fermions is derived. The basis bispinors controlling the obtained solutions of this equation turn out to be normalized by the area confining a region in the bispinor Clifford…

We investigate some properties of a system of Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions, with a space dependent mass having domain wall like defects.These defects are defined by the loci of the points where the mass changes sign. In general, they…
