We study the propagation of wave packets for a one-dimensional system of two coupled Schr\"odinger equations with a cubic nonlinearity, in the semi-classical limit. Couplings are induced by the nonlinearity and by the potential, whose…
We consider the quantum mechanical propagator for a particle moving in a $d$-dimensional Lorentz gas, with fixed, hard sphere scatterers. To evaluate this propagator in the semi-classical region, and for times less than the Ehrenfest time,…
A semiclassical approximation for an evolving density operator, driven by a "closed" hamiltonian operator and "open" markovian Lindblad operators, is obtained. The theory is based on the chord function, i.e. the Fourier transform of the…
We have extended the semi-classical theory to include a general account of matrix valued Hamiltonians, i.e. those that describe quantum systems with internal degrees of freedoms, based on a generalization of the Gutzwiller trace formula for…
A semiclassical formula for the coherent-state propagator requires the determination of specific classical paths inhabiting a complex phase-space through a Hamiltonian flux. Such trajectories are constrained to special boundary conditions…

We argue that a natural explanation for a variety of robust galaxy scaling relations comes from the perspective of pattern formation and self-organization as a result of symmetry breaking. We propose a simple Lagrangian model that combines…
