This is an edited version of an unpublished 1979 EFI (U. Chicago) preprint: "The U(N) lattice gauge theory in 2-dimensions can be considered as the statistical mechanics of a Coulomb gas on a circle in a constant electric field. The large N…
We consider a 3D quantum system of $N$ identical bosons in a trapping potential $|x|^p$, with $p\geq0$, interacting via a Newton potential with an attractive interaction strength $a_{N}$. For a fixed large $N$ and the coupling constant…
We demonstrate rigorously that in the absence of explicit spin-dependent forces one of the ground states of interacting bosons with spin is always fully polarized -- however complicated the many-body interaction potential might be.…

Some advantages of the algebraic approach to many body physics, based on resolvent algebras, are illustrated by the simple example of non-interacting bosons which are confined in compact regions with soft boundaries. It is shown that the…
The description of dynamics of strongly correlated quantum matter is a challenge, particularly in physical situations where a quasiparticle description is absent. In such situations, however, the many-body Kubo formula from linear response…
The Fermi polaron refers to a system of free fermions interacting with an impurity particle by means of two-body contact forces. Motivated by the physicists' approach to this system, the present article develops a general mathematical…
Thermalization in many-body systems can be inhibited by the application of a linearly increasing potential, which is known as Stark many-body localization. Here we investigate the fate of this phenomenon on a two-dimensional disorder-free…
The polaron has been of interest in condensed matter theory and field theory for about half a century, especially the limit of large coupling constant. It was not until 1983, however, that a proof of the asymptotic formula for the ground…
We consider a system of N nonrelativistic bosons in two dimensions, interacting weakly via a short-range attractive potential. We show that for N large, but below some critical value, the properties of the N-boson bound state are universal.…
While the $\Theta$-collapse of single long polymers in bad solvents is usually a continuous (tri-critical) phase transition, there are exceptions where it is preempted by a discontinuous crystallization (liquid $\leftrightarrow$ solid)…
The formation of a finite density multipolaronic state is analyzed in the context of the Holstein model using the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. The spinless and spinful fermion cases are compared to disentangle the polaron crossover from the…
The interplay between strong Coulomb interactions and randomness has been a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. According to the scaling theory of localization, in two-dimensional systems of noninteracting or weakly…
A many-body theory approach is developed for the problem of positron-atom scattering and annihilation. Strong electron-positron correlations are included non-perturbatively through the calculation of the electron-positron vertex function.…
The dual theory describing the 4D Coulomb gas of point-like magnetically charged objects, which confines closed electric strings, is considered. The respective generalization of the theory of confining strings to confining membranes is…
The bound states of two electrons in the adiabatic Holstein-Hubbard model are studied numerically in one and two dimensions from the anticontinuous limit. This model involves a competition between a local electron-phonon coupling (with a…
A system of N classical particles in a 2D periodic cell interacting via long-range attractive potential is studied. For low energy density $U$ a collapsed phase is identified, while in the high energy limit the particles are homogeneously…
We study the well-posedness and stability of an impedance passive infinite-dimensional linear system under nonlinear feedback of the form $u(t)=\phi(v(t)-y(t))$, where $\phi$ is a monotone function. Our first main result introduces…
The Bogoliubov theory of weakly interacting bosons is generalized to Bose-Einstein condensates with internal degrees of freedom so that a single effective Hamiltonian produces various many-body ground states or metastable spin domains and…
We consider the dynamics of N bosons in one dimension. We assume that the pair interaction is attractive and given by N^{\beta -1}V(N^{\beta}\cdot) where \int V\leqslant 0. We develop new techniques in treating the N-body Hamiltonian so…
