We formulate a theory of nonrelativistic scattering in one dimension based on the J-matrix method. The scattering potential is assumed to have a finite range such that it is well represented by its matrix elements in a finite subset of a…
In this paper we initiate the study of form factors for the massless scattering of integrable $AdS_2$ superstrings, where the difference-form of the $S$-matrix can be exploited to implement the relativistic form factor bootstrap. The…
An informal introduction to our recent work on the principal chiral model with boundary. We found that both classically integrable boundary conditions and quantum boundary S-matrices were classified by the symmetric spaces G/H. The…
When massless particles are involved, the traditional scattering matrix ($S$-matrix) does not exist: it has no rigorous non-perturbative definition and has infrared divergences in its perturbative expansion. The problem can be traced to the…
Inspired by the closed contour of momentum conservation in an interaction, we introduce an integrable one-dimensional theory that underlies some integrable models such as the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP)-hierarchy and the amplituhedron. In…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to some aspects of integrability, dualities and deformations of physical systems in 0+1 and in 1+1 dimensions. In particular, we concentrate on the T-duality of point particles and strings as well as on…
A new set of exact scattering matrices in 1+1 dimensions is proposed by solving the bootstrap equations. Extending earlier constructions of colour valued scattering matrices this new set has its colour structure associated to non…
Networks of random quantum scatterers (S-matrices) form paradigmatic models for the propagation of coherent waves in random S-matrix network models cover universal localization-delocalization properties and have some advantages over more…
We construct candidates for observables in wedge-shaped regions for a class of 1+1-dimensional integrable quantum field theories with bound states whose S-matrix is diagonal, by extending our previous methods for scalar S-matrices. Examples…
We find complete solutions of S-matrix bootstrap equations for the scatterings of massless particles in (1+1) dimensions with A_n symmetries. We show that only three types (minimal, diagonal, and saturated cases) of these S-matrices can…
The bulk S-Matrix can be given a non-perturbative definition in terms of the flat space limit of AdS/CFT. We show that the unitarity of the S-Matrix, ie the optical theorem, can be derived by studying the behavior of the OPE and the…
Unitarity is the fundamental property of the S-matrix while its usage for a scattering of unstable particles has been subtle as unstable particles do not appear in the asymptotic states. Defining unstable-particle amplitudes as residues of…
In this dissertation we discuss the properties of matrix elements describing the scattering of massive spin-2 particles in theories of compactified gravity. Our primary result is the calculation of 2-to-2 massive spin-2 Kaluza-Klein (KK)…
We introduce a class of integrable dynamical systems of interacting classical matrix-valued fields propagating on a discrete space-time lattice, realized as many-body circuits built from elementary symplectic two-body maps. The models…
The low energy $S$-matrix which describes non-relativistic scattering arising from finite-range forces has UV/IR symmetries that are hidden in the corresponding effective field theory (EFT) action. It is shown that the $S$-matrix symmetries…
We derive an expression for the relation between two scattering transition amplitudes which reflect the same dynamics, but which differ in the description of their initial and final state vectors. In one version, the incident and scattered…
Scattering of a spin-1/2 particle off a spin-0 target is formulated based on a simple three-dimensional momentum-spin basis. The azimuthal behaviour of both the potential and the T-matrix elements leads to a set of integral equations for…
Our main result is the analysis of singularities of integrands of integrals representing matrix elements of scattering matrix and inclusive scattering matrix in perturbation theory. These results are proven for any quantum field theory in…
Flat-space physics is highly constrained by basic principles such as Lorentz invariance, locality, unitarity and causality. This is neatly seen in the structure of scattering amplitudes. For processes occurring in an expanding background we…
We conjecture the factorized scattering description for OSP(m/2n)/OSP(m-1/2n) supersphere sigma models and OSP(m/2n) Gross Neveu models. The non-unitarity of these field theories translates into a lack of `physical unitarity' of the S…
