High-energy behavior of total cross sections is discussed in experiment and theory. Origin and meaning of the Froissart bounds are described and explained. Violation of the familiar log-squared bound appears to not violate unitarity…
We present the results of a study of the Poynting vector field generic singularities at the resonant light scattering of a plane monochromatic linearly polarized electromagnetic wave by a subwavelength particle. We reveal the impact of the…
Fits to high energy data alone cannot cleanly discriminate between asymptotic $\ln s$ and $\ln^2s$ behavior of total hadronic cross sections. We demonstrate that this is no longer true when we require that these amplitudes also describe, on…
In the framework of semiclassical resonances, we make more precise the link between polynomial estimates of the extension of the resolvent and propagation of the singularities through the trapped set. This approach makes it possible to…
We derive a universal bound on the integrated total scattering cross-section at \emph{finite} energies, expressed in terms of a single low-energy coefficient constrained by the non-perturbative S-matrix Bootstrap. At high energies, the…
We point out that past-incompleteness of geodesics in FLRW spacetimes does not necessarily imply that these spacetimes start from a singularity. Namely, if a test particle that follows such a trajectory has a non-vanishing velocity, its…
We re-examine V. Gribov's theorem of 1960 according to which the total cross-section cannot approach a finite non-zero limit with, at the same time, a diffraction peak having a finite slope. We are very close to proving by an explicit…
We use trace class scattering theory to exclude the possibility of absolutely continuous spectrum in a large class of self-adjoint operators with an underlying hierarchical structure and provide applications to certain random hierarchical…
We investigate the complex singlet extension of the Standard Model, which provides a scalar dark matter candidate. We impose the constraints from the observed relic abundance together with the most stringent limits from direct detection…
We discuss the possibility to find an upper bound on the seesaw scale using the cosmological bound on the cold dark matter relic density. We investigate a simple relation between the origin of neutrino masses and the properties of a dark…
We consider 2-2 scattering in four spacetime dimensions in Celestial variables. Using the crossing symmetric dispersion relation (CSDR), we recast the Celestial amplitudes in terms of crossing symmetric partial waves. These partial waves…
The Froissart--Martin bound for total $\pi\pi$ scattering cross sections is reconsidered in the light of QCD properties such as spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the counting rules for a large number of colours $\Nc$.
The decomposition of a one-loop scattering amplitude into elementary functions with rational coefficients introduces spurious singularities which afflict individual coefficients but cancel in the complete amplitude. These cancellations…
We investigate the high-energy behavior of the elastic scattering amplitude using the eikonal and $U$-matrix unitarization schemes. This work extends the analysis in [1] by exploring the sensitivity of the Pomeron and Odderon parameters to…
The jet bundle description of time-dependent mechanics is revisited. The constraint algorithm for singular Lagrangians is discussed and an exhaustive description of the constraint functions is given. By means of auxiliary connections we…
In studies of high energy $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering, the odd (under crossing) forward scattering amplitude accounts for the difference between the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ cross sections. Typically, it is taken as…
The perturbative treatment of high-energy fixed-angle hadron-hadron exclusive scattering is reviewed and related to the transverse structure of the proton and other hadrons.
To date, a significant effort has been made to adddress the Lorentz violating standard model in low-energy systems, but little is known about the ramifications for high-energy cross sections. In this talk, I discuss the modified Feynman…
We consider limiting behavior with energy of spin parameters at small values of t close to zero which corresponds to the saturation of the Froissart-Martin bound for the total cross sections.
Recent studies of transport phenomena with complex potentials are explained by generic square root singularities of spectrum and eigenfunctions of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Using a two channel problem we demonstrate that such…
