For a general class of $N$-body Schr\"odinger operators with short-range pair-potentials the wave and scattering matrices as well as the restricted wave operators are all defined at any non-threshold energy. This holds without imposing any…
The transition operator T for the scattering of a particle from N potentials V_j can be expanded into a series featuring the transition operators t_j associated with the individual potentials. For V_j(x) both absolutely and square…

Flat-space physics is highly constrained by basic principles such as Lorentz invariance, locality, unitarity and causality. This is neatly seen in the structure of scattering amplitudes. For processes occurring in an expanding background we…

We study the scattering problem for the nonlinear wave equation with potential. In the absence of the potential, one has sharp existence results for the Cauchy problem with small initial data; those require the data to decay at a rate…
In 'supersingular' scattering the potential $g^2U_A(r)$ involves a variable nonlinear parameter $A$ upon the increase of which the potential also increases beyond all limits everywhere off the origin and develops a uniquely high level of…
We define a generalization of the winding number of a piecewise $C^1$ cycle in the complex plane which has a geometric meaning also for points which lie on the cycle. The computation of this winding number relies on the Cauchy principal…
String theory in an exact plane wave background is explored. A new example of singularity in the sense of string theory for nonsingular spacetime metric is presented. The 4-tachyon scattering amplitude is constructed. The spectrum of states…
The purpose of this note is to prove the existence of a conformal scattering operator for the cubic defocusing wave equation on a non-stationary background. The proof essentially relies on solving the characteristic initial value problem by…
In this paper the general spectral properties of linear operators in Banach spaces are studied. We find sufficient conditions on structure of Banach spaces and resolvent properties that guarantee completeness of roots elements of Schatten…
We prove existence of modified wave operators for one-dimensional Dirac operators whose spectral measures belong to the Szego class on the real line.
We consider the scattering problem governed by the Helmholtz equation with inhomogeneity in both `conductivity' in the divergence form and `potential' in the lower order term. The support of the inhomogeneity is assumed to contain a convex…
We review the foundations of the scattering formalism for one particle potential scattering and discuss the generalization to the simplest case of many non interacting particles. We point out that the "straight path motion" of the…
We obtain a nonperturbative, analytical solution to integral equation of scattering theory by assuming the field within the scattering object is a spherical wave with a scattering amplitude equal to that of the far field. This approximation…
We develop a scattering theory to investigate the multi-photon transmission in a one-dimensional waveguide in the presence of quantum emitters. It is based on a path integral formalism, uses displacement transformations, and does not…
