We study the stability and universal behaviour of the ionization energy of N-electron atoms with nuclear charge Z in the anionic domain (Z<N), considering the nuclear charge Z as an arbitrary (non-integral) parameter. HF and CISD ground…
I briefly review our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The first part of this paper focusses on issues pertaining to dark matter including observational evidence for its existence, current constraints and the `abundance…
Given a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$, we consider the relationship between stability of the structure $(\mathbb{Z},+,0,A)$ and sparsity of the set $A$. We first show that a strong enough sparsity assumption on $A$ yields stability of…
We investigate some models of compact objects in the general relativity theory with cosmological constant $\Lambda$, based on two density profiles, one of them attributed to Stewart and the other one to Durgapal and Bannerji, proposed in…
Given that the dark matter and dark energy in the universe affect cosmological observables only gravitationally, their phenomenology may be described by a single stress energy tensor. True unification however requires a theory that…
The phenomenological relativistic quark model (RQM) has been employed to obtain the masses of ground state pseudo scalar and vector $c\bar{b}$ states. In the frame work of RQM a study of M1 radiative decays of $c\bar{b}$ has been made. The…
One-dimensional bosons interacting via a soft-shoulder potential are investigated at zero temperature. The flatness of the potential at short distances introduces a typical length, such that, at relatively high densities and sufficiently…
We propose a simple quantitative method for studying the hydrodynamic limit of interacting particle systems on lattices. It is applied to the diffusive scaling of the symmetric Zero-Range Process (in dimensions one and two). The rate of…
We extend the systematic calculation of an approximately relativistic Hamiltonian for centre of mass and internal dynamics of an electromagnetically bound two-particle system by Sonnleitner and Barnett [1] to the case including a weak…
The hydrogen atom as relativistic bound-state system of a proton and an electron in the complex-mass scheme is investigated. Interaction of a proton and an electron in the atom is described by the Lorentz-scalar Coulomb potential; the…
We consider the relative entropy between vacuum states of two different theories: a conformal field theory (CFT), and the CFT perturbed by a relevant operator. By restricting both states to the null Cauchy surface in the causal domain of a…
We consider the astrophysical and cosmological implications of the existence of a minimum density and mass due to the presence of the cosmological constant. If there is a minimum length in nature, then there is an absolute minimum mass…
The Cosmological Constant Problem is re-examined from an effective field theory perspective. While the connection between gravity and particle physics has not been experimentally probed in the quantum regime, it is severely constrained by…
There is now strong evidence that the main contribution to the cosmic energy density is not due to matter, but to another component with negative pressure. Its nature is still unknown: it could be the vacuum energy, manifesting itself as a…
We consider asymptotics of the ground state energy of heavy atoms and molecules and derive it including Schwinger and Dirac corrections. We consider also related topics: an excessive negative charge, ionization energy and excessive negative…
The cosmological constant (vacuum energy) problem is analyzed within the scope of quantum theories with UV-cut-off or fundamental length. Various cases associated with the appearance of the latter are considered both using the Generalized…
A relativistic mean-field model is used to study the ground-state properties of neutron-rich nuclei. Nonlinear isoscalar-isovector terms, unconstrained by present day phenomenology, are added to the model Lagrangian in order to modify the…
We consider a large neutral molecule with total nuclear charge $Z$ in a model with self-generated classical magnetic field and where the kinetic energy of the electrons is treated relativistically. To ensure stability, we assume that $Z…
We give a proof of stability of relativistic matter with magnetic fields all the way up to the critical value of the nuclear charge $Z\alpha=2/\pi$.
The properties of high-density nuclear and neutron matter are studied using a relativistic mean-field approximation to the nuclear matter energy functional. Based on ideas of effective field theory, nonlinear interactions between the fields…
