The question of whether it is possible to compute scattering resonances of Schr\"odinger operators - independently of the particular potential - is addressed. A positive answer is given, and it is shown that the only information required to…
In this paper, the existence, the uniqueness and estimates of solution to the integral Cauchy problem for linear and nonlinear abstract wave equations are proved. The equation includes a linear operator A defined in a Banach space E, in…
We introduce a new, probability-level approach to calculations in scalar field particle scattering. The approach involves the implicit summation over final states, which makes causality manifest since retarded propagators emerge naturally.…
We emphasize that scattering amplitudes of a wide class of models to any order in the coupling are constructible by on-shell tree subamplitudes. This follows from the Feynman-tree theorem combined with BCFW on-shell recursion relations. In…
We study a time-dependent scattering theory for Schr\"{o}dinger operators on a manifold with asymptotically polynomially growing ends. We use the Mourre theory to show the spectral properties of self-adjoint second-order elliptic operators.…
In this paper we consider scattering theory on manifolds with special cusp-like metric singularities of warped product type g=dx^2 + x^(-2a)h, where a>0. These metrics form a natural subset in the class of metrics with warped product…
These lectures treat scattering theory from a non-perturbative point of view. The course begins with a review of formal aspects in scattering theory, discussing the in/out states and the $S$ matrix that connects them. Unitarity relations,…
As described by Cachazo, He and Yuan, scattering amplitudes in many quantum field theories can be represented as integrals that are fully localized on solutions to the so-called scattering equations. Because the number of solutions to the…
Explicit formulas for the analytic extensions of the scattering matrix and the time delay of a quasi-one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of finite support are derived. This includes a careful analysis of the…
Background: Path integrals are a powerful tool for solving problems in quantum theory that are not amenable to a treatment by perturbation theory. Most path integral computations require an analytic continuation to imaginary time. While…
In this paper we study the behaviour of the continuous spectrum of the Laplacian on a complete Riemannian manifold of bounded curvature under perturbations of the metric. The perturbations that we consider are such that its covariant…
The effects of physics beyond the Standard Model may be parametrized by a set of higher-dimensional operators leading to an effective theory. The introduction of these operators makes the theory nonrenormalizable, and one may reasonably…
We derive a new integral equation that allows the calculation of the scattering or annihilation amplitude of two particles subjected to two potentials when the corresponding amplitude for one potential only is known. We assume that…
We give simple conditions implying the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the propagation of classical scalar fields in general (n+2)-dimensional static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. They are related to properties of the…
We study the scattering of particles and quasiparticles in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. The main novelty is the construction of inclusive scattering matrix related to inclusive cross-sections. The inclusive scattering…
We introduce a modified version of the Whitney extension operators for collections of functions from a closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into scales of Banach spaces with smoothing operators. We prove an extension theorem for collections…
We provide an asymptotic completeness criterion and a representation formula for the scattering matrix of the scattering couple $(A_B,A)$, where both $A$ and $A_B$ are self-adjoint operator and $A_B$ formally corresponds to adding to $A$…
The problem of extending quantum-mechanical formal scattering theory to a more general class of models that also includes quantum field theories is discussed, with the aim of clarifying certain aspects of the definition of scattering…

An alternative description of quantum scattering processes rests on inhomogeneous terms amended to the Schroedinger equation. We detail the structure of sources that give rise to multipole scattering waves of definite angular momentum, and…
