We establish a relation between the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in quantum mechanics and the field representation of a bound state with the aid of creation and annihilation operators. We show that a bound system can be…
The relativistic version of the J-matrix method for a scattering problem on the potential vanishing faster than the Coulomb one is formulated. As in the non-relativistic case it leads to a finite algebraic eigenvalue problem. The derived…
A consistent theory, which describes the incoherent scattering of classically moving relativistic particles by the nuclei of crystal planes without any phenomenological parameter is presented. The basic notions of quantum mechanics are…
Recent progresses on the relativistic modeling of neutrino-nucleus reactions are presented and the results are compared with high precision experimental data in a wide energy range.
In this work, we discuss the scattering theory of local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric. Since the results of Haag--Ruelle theory do not carry over to the case of indefinite metric, we propose an axiomatic framework for…
We study loop corrections to positivity bounds on effective field theories in the context of $2\to 2$ scattering in gravitational theories, in the presence of light particles. It has been observed that certain negative contributions at low…
Complex, non-Hermitian potentials V(x) can often generate standard quantum bound states. H. F. Jones [Phys. Rev. D 78, 065032 (2008)] demonstrated that the idea cannot directly be transferred to scattering. We reveal that a return to the…
Motivated by recent efforts to analyze corrections to Weinberg's relations for the scattering length and effective range in the presence of a near-threshold bound state, we play around with an instructive toy model for non-relativistic…
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.…
Lienard-Wiechert potentials of the relativistic spinning particle with anomalous magnetic moment in pseudoclassical theory are constructed. General expressions for the Lienard-Wiechert potentials are used for investigation of some specific…
We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in three space dimensions with combined focusing cubic and defocusing quintic nonlinearity. This problem was considered previously by Killip, Oh, Pocovnicu, and Visan, who proved scattering…
The fundamental quantities of potential scattering theory are generalized to accommodate long-range interactions. New definitions for the scattering amplitude and wave operators valid for arbitrary interactions including potentials with a…
This is a combined write-up for two talks which were given consecutively and which described different aspects of the same topic. We present a generalization of L\"uscher's relation between the finite-volume spectrum and S-matrix to three…
We discuss a free scalar field subject to generalized Wentzell boundary conditions. On the classical level, we prove well-posedness of the Cauchy problem and in particular causality. Upon quantization, we obtain a field that may naturally…
We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum scattering problem of a charged particle by an Abelian magnetic monopole in the background of a global monopole. In addition to the magnetic and geometric effects, we consider the influence of the…
In the framework of scattering theory, we show how the scattering matrix can be related to the projection on the bound states by an index map of K-theory. Pairings with appropriate cyclic cocyles lead naturally to a topological version of…
In fundamental theories that accounts for quantum gravitational effects, the spacetime causal structure is expected to be quantum uncertain. Previous studies of quantum causal structure focused on finite-dimensional systems. Here we present…
We combine theories of scattering for linearized water waves and flexural waves in thin plates to characterize and achieve control of water wave scattering using floating plates. This requires manipulating a sixth-order partial differential…
The relativistic quantum motion of scalar bosons under the influence of a full vector (minimal $A^{\mu}$ and nonminimal $X^{\mu}$) and scalar ($V_{s}$) interactions embedded in the background of a cosmic string is explored in the context of…
A new formulation of potential scattering in quantum mechanics is developed using a close structural analogy between partial waves and the classical dynamics of many non-interacting fields. Using a canonical formalism we find non-linear…
