We introduce new concepts in order to develop a general formalism for twisted differential operators in several variables. We investigate the notion of twisted coordinates on Huber rings that allows us to build various rings of twisted…

We develop a formalism for computing the scattering amplitudes in maximally symmetric de Sitter spacetime with compact spatial dimensions. We describe quantum states by using the representation theory of de Sitter symmetry group and link…

For any positive real number $s$, we study the scattering theory in a unified way for the fractional Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0=(-\Delta)^\frac s2$ and the real-valued potential $V$ satisfies short range condition. We…

Diffusion-driven patterns appear on curved surfaces in many settings, initiated by unstable modes of an underlying Laplacian operator. On a flat surface or perfect sphere, the patterns are degenerate, reflecting translational/rotational…

In this paper, we consider the existence and the asymptotic completeness of the wave operators for Schrodinger equations with time-dependent potentials which are short-range in space.

In this paper we treat some applications of Kawamata's positivity theorem. We get a weak answer to \cite [Section 3]{KeMaMc}. And we investigate the singularities on the target spaces of some morphisms.

We show that hierarchies of differential Schroedinger operators for identical particles which are separating for the usual (anti-)symmetric tensor product, are necessarily linear, and offer some speculations on the source of quantum…

We propose a new axiom system for unitary quantum field theories on curved space-time backgrounds, by postulating that the partition function and the correlators extend analytically to a certain domain of complex-valued metrics. Ordinary…

The aim of the lecture is to briefly describe the mathematical background of scattering theory for two- and three-particle quantum systems. We discuss basic objects of the theory: wave and scattering operators and the corresponding…

The original intent of the Koopman-von Neumann formalism was to put classical and quantum mechanics on the same footing by introducing an operator formalism into classical mechanics. Here we pursue their path the opposite way and examine…

We develop direct and inverse scattering theory for one-dimensional Schroedinger operators with steplike potentials which are asymptotically close to different finite-gap periodic potentials on different half-axes. We give a complete…

We determine necessary and sufficient conditions on the ring of differential operators of a finite purely inseparable field extension of positive characteristic for determining whether the extension is modular.

We consider two different stationary random processes whose probability distributions are very close and indistinguishable by standard tests for large but limited statistics. Yet we demonstrate that these processes can be reliably…

We investigate the space of quantum operations, as well as the larger space of maps which are positive, but not completely positive. A constructive criterion for decomposability is presented. A certain class of unistochastic operations,…

One of Feynman's greatest contributions to physics was the interpretation of negative energies as antimatter in quantum field theory. A key component of this interpretation is the Feynman propagator, which seeks to describe the behavior of…

Positivity, essential self-adjointness, and spectral properties of a class of Schroedinger operators with multipolar inverse-square potentials are discussed. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition on the masses of singularities…

We study quantum field theory on the two-dimensional Noncommutative Minkoswki space with a Grosse-Wulkenhaar potential. We explicitly construct the retarded propagator and show that it is not a tempered distribution. This leads to problems…
