I discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit as $m_Q\rightarrow\infty$. The…
A new approach is laid out to investigate the two photon atomic transitions. It is based on application of the finite basis solutions constructed from the Bernstein Polynomial (B-Polynomial) sets. We show that such an approach provides a…
We derive a set of sum rules for the light-by-light scattering and fusion: $\gamma\gamma \to all$, and verify them in lowest order QED calculations. A prominent implication of these sum rules is the superconvergence of the…
We consider the lightcone sum-rule description of the pion-photon transition form factor, based on dispersion relations, in combination with the renormalization group of QCD, in terms of the formal solution of the…
We consider an ionic fluid made with two species of mobile particles carrying either a positive or a negative charge. We derive a sum rule for the fourth moment of equilibrium charge correlations. Our method relies on the study of the…
Meson--photon--photon transition form factors for S-, P-, and D-wave states are calculated, the meson being treated as a non-relativistic heavy-quark--antiquark pair. The full dependence on both photon virtualities is included.…
The pion-to-proton ratio is identified as a potential signal for a non-equilibrium first-order chiral phase transition in heavy-ion collisions, as the pion multiplicity is directly related to entropy production. To showcase this effect, a…
We show that sums of carefully chosen coincidence rates in a multiphoton interferometry experiment can be simplified by replacing the original unitary scattering matrix with a coset matrix containing $0$s. The number and placement of these…
We consider the pion-photon transition form factor at low to intermediate spacelike momenta within the theoretical framework of light-cone sum rules. We derive predictions which take into account all currently known contributions stemming…
Sum rules are derived relating mean squared charge radii of the pseudoscalar mesons with the convergent integral of the difference of hadron photoproduction cross-sections on pseudoscalar mesons.
Two-photon decay rates in simple atoms such as hydrogenlike systems represent rather interesting fundamental problems in atomic physics. The sum of the energies of the two emitted photons has to fulfill an energy conservation condition, the…
Wavelengths and transition rates are given for E1 transitions between singlet S, P, D, and F states, between triplet S, P, and D states, and between triplet P and singlet S states in ions of astrophysical interest: helium-like carbon,…
The microscopic theory of chemical reactions is based on transition state theory, where atoms or ions transfer classically over an energy barrier, as electrons maintain their ground state. Electron transfer is fundamentally different and…
We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model,…
The correlations in classical multi-component ionic mixtures with spatial dimension $d\geq 2$ are studied by using a restricted grand-canonical ensemble and the associated hierarchy equations for the correlation functions. Sum rules for the…
We derive new sum rules for the real and imaginary parts of the frequency-dependent Hall constant and Hall conductivity. As an example, we discuss their relevance to the doped Mott insulator that we describe within the dynamical mean-field…
We consider the conversion of gravitons and photons as a four-wave mixing process. A nonlinear coupled systems of equations involving two gravitons and two photons is obtained, and the energy exchange between the different degrees of…
The existing calculations of the form factors describing the decay $B\to\rho e \nu$ from QCD sum rules have yielded conflicting results at small values of the invariant mass squared of the lepton pair. We demonstrate that the disagreement…
We prove upper bounds on the rate, called "mixing rate", at which the von Neumann entropy of the expected density operator of a given ensemble of states changes under non-local unitary evolution. For an ensemble consisting of two states,…
The implications of magnetic translations for internal optical transitions of charged mobile electron-hole ($e$--$h$) complexes and ions in a uniform magnetic field $B$ are discussed. It is shown that transitions of such complexes are…
