It is well known that (possibly non-unique) suitable field dynamics can be prescribed in spacetimes with timelike boundaries by means of appropriate boundary conditions. In Ref. [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 21}, 2802 (1980)], Wald derived a…

The nonleptonic weak $|\Delta S|=1$ $\Lambda N$ interaction, responsible for the dominant nonmesonic decay of all but the lightest hypernuclei, is studied in the framework of an effective field theory. The long-range physics is described…

We explore the character of a novel set of ``field-linked'' states that were predicted in [A. V. Avdeenkov and J. L. Bohn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 043006 (2003)]. These states exist at ultralow temperatures in the presence of an electrostatic…

We extend effective field theory to the case of spontaneous symmetry breaking in genuinely finite quantum systems such as small superfluid systems, molecules or atomic nuclei, and focus on deformed nuclei. In finite superfluids, symmetry…

To solve the current debate on the position of the quasi-bound K^-p state, namely, "Lambda(1405) or Lambda*(1420)", we propose to measure the T_{21} = T_{Sigma-pi \leftarrow Kbar-N} Sigma-pi invariant-mass spectrum in stopped-K- absorption…

A new quantum model with rational functions for the potential and effective mass is proposed in a stretchable region outside which both are constant. Starting from a generalized effective mass kinetic energy operator the matching and…

We discuss a model-independent estimator of the likelihood of the compositeness of a shallow S-wave bound or virtual state. The approach is based on an extension of Weinberg's relations in Phys. Rev. 137, B672 (1965) and it relies only on…

The modeling of finite-extent semiconductor nanostructures that are embedded in a host material requires the numerical treatment of the boundary in a finite simulation domain. For the study of a self-assembled InAs dot embedded in GaAs,…

We investigate the low-temperature properties of a ultracold gas made of bosonic alkali-metal atoms with finite-range interaction under the effect of a disordered environment. The statistical characterization of the disorder is investigated…

Possible existence of deeply bound kaonic nuclear systems was proposed Akaishi and Yamazaki (2002} more than a decade ago, based on an ansatz that the Lambda* = Lambda(1405) mass is 1405 MeV/c2, where the Lambda* is a Kbar-N quasi-bound…

This article summarizes recent work on the many-body (beyond density functional theory) electronic structure of layered rare-earth nickelates, both in the context of the materials themselves and in comparison to the high-temperature…

The (Kbar-N-pi) system is studied using separable interactions fitted to data available on the s-wave (Kbar-N)--(pi-Y) subsystem and the p-wave (pi-N),(pi-Y),(pi-pi) and (pi-Kbar) subsystems. Three-body (Kbar-N-pi)--(pi-Y-pi) coupled…

Observing how electronic states in solids react to a local symmetry breaking provides insight into their microscopic nature. A striking example is the formation of bound states when quasiparticles are scattered off defects. This is known to…

We study the internal structure of exotic hadrons, especially focusing on the relation between the compositeness and physical observables. Defined as the probability of finding hadronic molecular components in the wave function,…

We consider a confining Yang-Mills theory without Goldstone Bosons which could describe the bosonic sector of the weak interactions. This model can be gauge invariantly regularized on a lattice. A strong coupling analysis of the low lying…

We study the structure of two-body s-wave bound states as well as resonances in the threshold energy region. We focus on the single-channel scattering where the scattering length and the effective range are given by real numbers. It is…

Deeply bound KNN, KNNN and KNNNN states are discussed. The effective force exerted by the K meson on the nucleons is calculated with static nucleons. Next the binding energies are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation or by…

We study the feasibility of having the $\Sigma^*(1430)$ state, predicted within the chiral unitary approach and recently reported by the Belle Collaboration, as corresponding to a state of non-molecular nature. Starting from this…

We have developed a formalism that includes both quasibound states with real energies and quantum resonances within the same theoretical framework, and that admits a clean and unambiguous distinction between these states and the states of…

We study the structure of bound states appearing in systems governed by the Coulomb and short-range interactions. We analyze the binding energies and wave functions of the bound states generated by the Coulomb plus short-range potential. We…
