We study vacuum and thermal expectation values of quantum scalar and Dirac fermion fields on anti-de Sitter space-time. Anti-de Sitter space-time is maximally symmetric and this enables expressions for the scalar and fermion vacuum Feynman…

We consider the Schr\"odinger equation with a multipoint potential of Bethe-Peierls-Thomas-Fermi type. For this singular potential, we develop scattering and inverse scattering at high energies. In particular, in this framework, our results…
There are two formulations at non-zero chemical potential; one is the formulation that a Lagrangian includes a chemical potential, the other is the formulation that a Lagrangian does not include a chemical potential. The existence of two…
