Attempts to go beyond the local density approximation (LDA) of Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been increasingly based on the incorporation of more realistic Coulomb interactions. In their earliest implementations, methods like…
We use the Gaussian variational principle to apply cMERA to interacting quantum field theories in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. By establishing a correspondence between the first two terms in the variational expansion and the Gaussian…

A universal characterization of interactions in few- and many-body quantum systems is often possible without detailed description of the interaction potential, and has become a defacto assumption for cold atom research. Universality in this…

It has been noticed that confinement effects can be described by the addition of a $ \sqrt {- F_{\mu \nu}^a F^{a\mu \nu}} $ term in the Lagrangian density. We now study the combined effect of such "confinement term" and that of a mass term.…

We consider a two-dimensional Coulomb gas of positive and negative pointlike unit charges interacting via a logarithmic potential. The density (rather than the charge) correlation functions are studied. In the bulk, the form-factor theory…
We present a generalization of the Fefferman-de la Llave decomposition of the Coulomb potential to quite arbitrary radial functions $V$ on $R^n$ going to zero at infinity. This generalized decomposition can be used to extend previous…
