We derive two sum rules by studying the low energy Compton scattering on a target of arbitrary (nonzero) spin j. In the first sum rule, we consider the possibility that the intermediate state in the scattering can have spin |j \pm 1| and…

Truncated sum rules have been used to calculate the fundamental limits of the nonlinear susceptibilities; and, the results have been consistent with all measured molecules. However, given that finite-state models result in inconsistencies…

Recently Magnea hep-th/9907096 , hep-th/9912207 [Phys.Rev.D61, 056005 (2000); Phys.Rev.D62, 016005 (2000)] claimed to have computed the first sum rules for Dirac operators in 3D gauge theories from 0D non-linear sigma models. I point out…

We call into question a recently proposed idea on how the short-distance behavior of QCD correlation functions constrains hadronic states to become degenerate parity eigenstates as one goes up in the spectrum. In particular, we point out…

QCD sum rules are useful tools for studying the spectral properties of hadrons; however, assumptions underlying standard sum-rule analyses can lead to inconsistencies with known results of chiral perturbation theory. This possibility is…

We apply three forward light-by-light scattering sum rules to charmonium states. We show that these sum rules imply a cancellation between charmonium bound state contributions, which are mostly known from the $\gamma \gamma$ decay widths of…

We demonstrate explicitly that some recent calculations of atomic electric dipole moments (EDM) are incomplete. A contribution overlooked therein is pointed out. When included, it cancels exactly the result of those calculations, and thus…

In a recent paper \cite{[Good1]} Good postulated new rules of quantization, one of the major features of which is that the quantum evolution of the wave function is always given by ordinary differential equations. In this paper we analyse…

A sum rule is an identity connecting the entropy of a measure with coefficients involved in the construction of its orthogonal polynomials (Jacobi coefficients). Our paper is an extension of Gamboa, Nagel and Rouault (2016), where we have…

I derive new sum rules for the electronic oscillator strengths in a periodic or nearly periodic potential, which apply within a single energy band and between any two bands. The physical origin of these sum rules is quite unlike that of…

We present a compact review of the status of QCD spectral sum rules until 2022. We emphasize the recent progresses for determining the QCD input parameters ($\alpha_s$, running quark masses, quark and gluon condensates) where their…

In this reply, we point out several criticisms of the analysis in arXiv:0909.2633 and show that the comment does not change the underlying conclusion presented by ourselves that there is no measurable deficit in the scattering cross section…

We consider the problem of an harmonic oscillator coupled to a scalar field in the framework of recently introduced dressed coordinates. We compute all the probabilities associated with the decay process of an excited level of the…

We derive general properties of the linear response functions of nonequilibrium steady states in Langevin systems. These correspond to extension of the results which were recently found in Hamiltonian systems [A. Shimizu and T. Yuge, J.…

We strongly disagree with the procedure used in a recent paper to extract the Zemach moment for hydrogen.

Sum rules are elegant formulas that relate entropy functionals to coefficients associated with orthogonal polynomials [Sim11]. In a series of paper (see for example [GNR16], [GNR17], [BSZ18a], [BSZ18b]), interesting connections have been…

Closed-orbit theory provides a general approach to the semiclassical description of photo-absorption spectra of arbitrary atoms in external fields, the simplest of which is the hydrogen atom in an electric field. Yet, despite its apparent…

All derivations of the GDH sum rule are presented and discussed in detail, focussing particularly on the validity of the underlying assumptions. Several tests of the sum rule within perturbative models are reviewed. Various possible sources…

We present a set of sum rules relating the low-energy light-by-light scattering to integrals of \gamma\gamma-fusion cross sections and use them to study the hadronic contributions.

Real atomic systems, like the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field or the helium atom, whose classical dynamics are chaotic, generally present both discrete and continuous symmetries. In this letter, we explain how these properties must be…
