We present a superfield formulation of the quantization program for theories with first class constraints. An exact operator formulation is given, and we show how to set up a phase-space path integral entirely in terms of superfields. BRST…
At the exceptional point where two eigenstates coalesce in open quantum systems, the usual diagonalization scheme breaks down and the Hamiltonian can only be reduced to Jordan block form. Most of the studies on the exceptional point…

Mean-field methods such as Hartree-Fock (HF) or Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) constitute the building blocks upon which more elaborate many-body theories are based on. The HF and HFB wavefunctions are built out of independent…
