Aspects of super-planckian gravitational scattering and black hole formation are investigated, largely via a partial-wave representation. At large and decreasing impact parameters, amplitudes are expected to be governed by single graviton…
Scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories are of widespread interest, due to a large number of theoretical and phenomenological applications. Much is known about the possible behaviour of amplitudes, that is independent of the details…

Results are presented from numerical simulations of the flat-space nonlinear Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations demonstrating deep inelastic scattering of $m=1$ vortices for a range of Ginzburg-Landau (or Abelian-Higgs) parameters ($\kappa$),…
We present a novel approximation method that can predict the number of solitons asymptotically appearing under arbitrary rapidly decreasing initial wave packets. The number of solitons can be estimated without integration of the original…
The scattering of an incident plane wave on two Aharonov-Bohm vortices with opposite fluxes is considered in detail. The presence of the vortices imposes non-trivial boundary conditions for the partial waves on a cut joining the two…
We consider the damped nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a delta potential \begin{align*} \partial_{t}^2u-\partial_{x}^2u+2\alpha \partial_{t}u+u-\gamma {\delta}_0u-|u|^{p-1}u=0, \ & (t,x) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}, \end{align*}…

In the paper, in the scattering problem for the valence electron model potential a self-adjoint extension is performed and Rutherford formula is modified. The scattering of slow particles for this potential is also discussed and the changes…
It was recently shown [Y. Suzuki, L. Lacombe, K. Watanabe, and N. T. Maitra, Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 263401 (2017)] that peak and valley structures in the exact exchange-correlation potential of time-dependent density functional theory are…
Scattering off a potential is a fundamental problem in quantum physics. It has been studied extensively with amplitudes derived for various potentials. In this article, we explore a setting with no potentials, where scattering occurs off a…
Scattering of waves due to a vertical array of equally-spaced cracks on a square lattice is studied. The convenience of Floquet periodicity reduces the study to that of scattering of specific wave-mode from single crack in a waveguide. The…
We compute the (center-of-mass frame) scattering angle $\chi$ of hyperboliclike encounters of two spinning black holes, at the fourth post-Newtonian approximation level for orbital effects, and at the next-to-next-to-leading order for…
The trajectory of motion of a scattering electron in the Coulomb potential from the wave function of the Schroedinger equation is presented in two ways, spherical polar coordinates and Temple coordinates, and is compared with each other and…
We analyze scattering in a system of two (distinguishable) particles moving on the half-line $\overline{\rz}_+$ under the influence of singular two-particle interactions. Most importantly, due to the spatial localization of the interactions…
Within the class of Derezi{\'n}ski-Enss pair-potentials which includes Coulomb potentials and for which asymptotic completeness is known \cite{De}, we show that all entries of the $N$-body quantum scattering matrix have a well-defined…
Spectral singularities such as exceptional points invoke specific physical effects. The present paper focuses upon the time dependent solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation. In a simple model it is demonstrated that - depending on initial…
We study the late-time relaxation of a perturbed Schwarzschild black hole, driven by a source term representing an infalling particle in generic orbits. We consider quasi-circular and eccentric binaries, dynamical captures and radial…
Relativistic causality constrains the $S$-matrix both through its analyticity, and by imposing lower bounds on the scattering time delay. These bounds are easiest to determine for spacetimes which admit either a timelike or null Killing…
We report on our analysis of the Coulomb singularity problem in the frame of the coupled channel scattering theory including spin-orbit interaction. We assume that the coupling between the partial wave components involves orbital angular…
