Scattering of a spin-1/2 particle off a spin-0 target is formulated based on a simple three-dimensional momentum-spin basis. The azimuthal behaviour of both the potential and the T-matrix elements leads to a set of integral equations for…

The pathway model of Mathai (2005) is shown to be inferable from the maximization of a certain generalized entropy measure. This entropy is a variant of the generalized entropy of order 'alpha', considered in Mathai and Rathie (1975), and…
The scattering matrix S of a ballistic chaotic cavity is the direct sum of a `classical' and a `quantum' part, which describe the scattering of channels with typical dwell time smaller and larger than the Ehrenfest time, respectively.…
A discrete formulation of the real-time path integral as the expectation value of a functional of paths with respect to a complex probability on a sample space of discrete valued paths is explored. The formulation in terms of complex…
We discuss how a standard scattering theory a of multi-particle theory generalises to systems based on Hamiltonians that involve higher-order derivatives in their quantum mechanical formulation. As concrete examples, we consider Hamiltonian…
We explore a formulation of the S-matrix in terms of the path integral with specified asymptotic data, as originally proposed by Arefeva, Faddeev, and Slavnov. In the tree approximation the S-matrix is equal to the exponential of the…
We prove explicit semiclassical resolvent estimates for an integrable potential on the real line. The proof is a comparatively easy case of the spherical energies method, which has been used to prove similar theorems in higher dimensions…
