We study the classical and quantum models of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time, coupled to a perfect fluid, in the context of the consensus and a gauge-fixed Lagrangian frameworks. It is shown that, either in the usual or…
A simple quantum mechanical model consisting of a discrete level resonantly coupled to a continuum of finite width, where the coupling can be varied from perturbative to strong (Fano-Anderson model), is considered. The particle is initially…
We consider the role of the reconstruction of the initial state in the deviation from exponential decay at short and long times. The long time decay can be attributed to a wave that was, in a classical-like, probabilistic sense, fully…
The first photon emission and the disentanglement of a pair of identical bosonic atoms in excited entangled states follow an exponential law. We extend the theory to distinguishable and identical fermionic two-atom systems. As a byproduct…

Linear rate equations are used to describe the cascading decay of an initial heavy cluster into fragments. This representation is based upon a triangular matrix of transition rates. We expand the state vector of mass multiplicities, which…
The aim of this note is to extend the energy decay estimates from [J. Wirth, J. Differential Equations 222 (2006) 487--514] to a broader class of time-dependent dissipation including very fast oscillations. This is achieved using…
The main purpose of this expository note is to give a short account of the recent developments in mathematical wave kinetic theory. After reviewing the physical theory, we explain the importance of the notion of a scaling law, which…
We investigate the spatial statistics of the energy eigenfunctions on large quantum graphs. It has previously been conjectured that these should be described by a Gaussian Random Wave Model, by analogy with quantum chaotic systems, for…
In this paper, we analyze a semilinear damped second order evolution equation with time-dependent time delay and time-dependent delay feedback coefficient. The nonlinear term satisfies a local Lipschitz continuity assumption. Under…

We analyze the behavior of the wave function $\psi(x,t)$ for one dimensional time-dependent Hamiltonian $H=-\partial_x^2\pm2\delta(x)(1+2r\cos\omega t)$ where $\psi(x,0)$ is compactly supported. We show that $\psi(x,t)$ has a Borel summable…
We propose a novel approach to intrinsic decoherence without adding new assumptions to standard quantum mechanics. We generalize the Liouville equation just by requiring the dynamical semigroup property of time evolution and dropping the…
