We introduce a way of implementing Wilson renormalization within the context of the theory of effective Hamiltonians. Our renormalization scheme involves manipulations at the level of the generalized $G$--matrix and is independent of any…
Domain specific localization of eigenstates has been a persistent observation for systems with local symmetries. The underlying mechanism for this localization behaviour has however remained elusive. We provide here an analysis of locally…
We present a gauge-theoretic interpretation of the "analytic" version of the geometric Langlands program, in which Hitchin Hamiltonians and Hecke operators are viewed as concrete operators acting on a Hilbert space of quantum states. The…
