We propose an abstract framework describing energy-renormalized Hamiltonians in terms of local algebras. Within the framework, we examine the positivity improvingness of the semigroup generated by the renormalized Hamiltonian. As examples,…
We prove that the resolvent of the renormalised Nelson Hamiltonian at fixed total momentum P improves positivity in the (momentum) Fock-representation, for every P. Our argument is based on an explcit representation of the renormalised…
We present a simple functional integration based proof that the semigroups generated by the ultraviolet-renormalized translation-invariant non- and semi-relativistic Nelson Hamiltonians are positivity improving (and hence ergodic) with…
We provide explicit lower bounds for the ground-state energy of the renormalized Nelson model in terms of the coupling constant $\alpha$ and the number of particles $N$, uniform in the meson mass and valid even in the massless case. In…
We derive Feynman-Kac formulas for the ultra-violet renormalized Nelson Hamiltonian with a Kato decomposable external potential and for corresponding fiber Hamiltonians in the translation invariant case. We simultaneously treat massive and…
Within the covariant formulation of Light-Front Dynamics, in a scalar model with the interaction Hamiltonian $H=-g\psi^{2}(x)\phi(x)$, we calculate nonperturbatively the renormalized state vector of a scalar "nucleon" in a truncated Fock…
An ill-defined integral equation for modeling the mass-spectrum of mesons is regulated with an additional but unphysical parameter. This parameter dependance is removed by renormalization. Illustrative graphical examples are given.
A matrix model of an asymptotically free theory with a bound state is solved using a perturbative similarity renormalization group for hamiltonians. An effective hamiltonian with a small width, calculated including the first three terms in…
We analyze a simple classical Hamiltonian system within the hypothesis of renormalizability and isotropy that essentially led Maxwell to his ubiquitous Gaussian distribution of velocities. We show that the equilibrium-like power-law energy…
This paper presents a renormalization approach to many-particle systems. By starting from a bare Hamiltonian ${\cal H}= {\cal H}_0 +{\cal H}_1$ with an unperturbed part ${\cal H}_0$ and a perturbation ${\cal H}_1$,we define an effective…
The Nelson model describes the interaction of nonrelativistic quantum particles with a relativistic quantum field of scalar bosons. Nelson rigorously demonstrated in 1964 the existence of a well-defined self-adjoint Nelson Hamiltonian by…
We employ projection operator techniques in Hilbert space to derive a continuous sequence of effective Hamiltonians which describe the dynamics on successively larger length scales. We show for the case of \phi^4 theory that the masses and…
A model Hamiltonian that exhibits asymptotic freedom and a bound state, is used to show on example that similarity renormalization group procedure can be tuned to improve convergence of perturbative derivation of effective Hamiltonians,…
Ultraviolet (UV) renormalization of the Nelson model in quantum field theory is considered. A relationship between a ultraviolet renormalization term and the ground state energy of the Hamiltonian with total momentum zero is studied by…
The Bessel operator, that is, the Schr\"odinger operator on the half-line with a potential proportional to $1/x^2$, is analyzed in the momentum representation. Many features of this analysis are parallel to the approach \`a la K. Wilson to…
We resurrect a standard construction of analytical mechanics dating from the last century. The technique allows one to pass from any dynamical system whose first order evolution equations are known, and whose bracket algebra is not…
We derive asymptotic freedom and the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills $\beta$-function using the renormalization group procedure for effective particles. In this procedure, the concept of effective particles of size $s$ is introduced. Effective particles…
Let $G$ be a countable cancellative amenable semigroup and let $(F_n)$ be a (left) F{\o}lner sequence in $G$. We introduce the notion of an $(F_n)$-normal element of $\{0,1\}^G$. When $G$ = $(\mathbb N,+)$ and $F_n = \{1,2,...,n\}$, the…
In this work, we show that the completeness relation for the eigenvectors, which is an essential assumption of quantum mechanics, remains true if the Hamiltonian, having a discrete spectrum, is modified by a delta potential (to be made…
We study the renormalized Nelson model for a scalar matter particle in a continuous confining potential interacting with a possibly massless quantized radiation field. When the radiation field is massless we impose a mild infrared…
