We obtain a nonperturbative, analytical solution to integral equation of scattering theory by assuming the field within the scattering object is a spherical wave with a scattering amplitude equal to that of the far field. This approximation…
A multiple scattering model of a quantum particle interacting with a random Lorentz gas of fixed point scatterers is established in an Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. At the core of the model, the scattering amplitude for the point…

We introduce a new technique to generate scattering amplitudes at one loop. Traditional tree algorithms, which handle diagrams with fixed momenta, are promoted to generators of loop-momentum polynomials that we call open loops. Combining…
For a non-relativistic scale invariant system in two spatial dimensions, the quantum scattering amplitude $f(\theta)$ is given as a dispersion relation, with a simple closed form for ${\rm Im}(f(\theta)$) as well as the integrated…
Besides the unitarity and symmetry requirements for a multi-resonance scattering amplitude, several other natural conditions can easily exclude unrealistic proposals. In particular, the behaviour of singularities under the variation of…
The effective action includes all quantum corrections arising in a given quantum field theory. Thus it serves as a powerful generating functional from which quantum-corrected scattering amplitudes can be constructed via tree-level…
We relate scattering amplitudes in particle physics to maximum likelihood estimation for discrete models in algebraic statistics. The scattering potential plays the role of the log-likelihood function, and its critical points are solutions…
We introduce a formalism for describing four-dimensional scattering amplitudes for particles of any mass and spin. This naturally extends the familiar spinor-helicity formalism for massless particles to one where these variables carry an…
The CHY representation of scattering amplitudes is based on integrals over the moduli space of a punctured sphere. We replace the punctured sphere by a double-cover version. The resulting scattering equations depend on a parameter $\Lambda$…
We consider the mass-subcritical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in all space dimensions with focusing or defocusing nonlinearity. For such equations with critical regularity $s_c\in(\max\{-1,-\frac{d}{2}\},0)$, we prove that any solution…
Using the implicit function theorem we demonstrate that solutions to the classical part of the relativistic Lippmann-Schwinger equation are in one-to-one correspondence with those of the energy equation of a relativistic two-body system. A…
We present a prescription to calculate manifestly gauge invariant tree-level scattering amplitudes for arbitrary scattering processes with off-shell initial-state quarks within the kinematics of high-energy scattering.
We investigate factorized scattering from a reflecting and transmitting impurity. Bulk scattering is non trivial, provided that the bulk scattering matrix depends separately on the spectral parameters of the colliding particles, and not…
We develop a dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory where the reflection and transmission amplitudes for a general, possibly complex and energy-dependent, scattering potential are given as solutions of a set of dynamical…
We derive a general formalism that relates the spectrum of two-particle systems in a finite volume to physical scattering amplitudes, taking into account the presence of any left-hand branch cuts due to single-particle exchanges. The method…
We present integral equations for the scattering amplitudes of three scalar particles, using the Faddeev channel decomposition, which can be readily extended to any finite number of particles of any helicity. The solution of these…
Closed formulas for tree amplitudes of $n$-particle scatterings of gluon, graviton, and massless scalar particles have been proposed by Cachazo, He, and Yuan. It depends on $(n-3)$ quantities $\s_\a$ which satisfy a set of coupled {\it…
The scattering theory of the integrable statistical models can be generalized to the case of systems with extended lines of defect. This is done by adding the reflection and transmission amplitudes for the interactions with the line of…
The question of whether it is possible to compute scattering resonances of Schr\"odinger operators - independently of the particular potential - is addressed. A positive answer is given, and it is shown that the only information required to…
