In quantum mechanics, the wave function of fermion systems such as many-body electron systems are anti-symmetric (AS) and continuous, and it is crucial yet challenging to find an ansatz to represent them. This paper addresses this challenge…

Multi-time wave functions such as $\phi(t_1,x_1,\ldots,t_N,x_N)$ have one time variable $t_j$ for each particle. This type of wave function arises as a relativistic generalization of the wave function $\psi(t,x_1,\ldots,x_N)$ of…
