A unified approach to the calculation of dispersive forces on ground-state bodies and atoms is given. It is based on the ground-state Lorentz force density acting on the charge and current densities attributed to the polarization and…
In a recent paper, A. Akbari, N. H. March and A. Rubio [Phys. Rev. A. 76, 032510 (2007)] have investigated the one-electron reduced density-matrix and the momentum density of several two-electron model atoms, including the Hooke's atom. The…
We consider the quasi-classical limit of Nelson-type regularized polaron models describing a particle interacting with a quantized bosonic field. We break translation-invariance by adding an attractive external potential decaying at…
We show that in the search of a unified mean field description of finite nuclei and of nuclear and neutron matter even at high densities, the relativistic nuclear model derived from effective field theory and density functional theory…
We develop a semiclassical theory for the spectral rigidity of non-hydrogenic Rydberg atoms in electric fields and evaluate the significant deviations from the well-known Poissonian behaviour in the hydrogenic case. The resulting formula is…
Under the assumption that the cosmological constant vanishes in the true ground state with lowest possible energy density, we argue that the observed small but finite vacuum-like energy density can be explained if we consider a theory with…
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes with a presently large fraction of the energy density stored in an $X$-component with $w_X<-1/3$, are considered. We find all the critical points of the system for constant equations of state in that…
We explore low-density neutron matter and its behavior in proximity to the unitary limit. To that end, we construct unitary nucleon-nucleon potentials with infinite 1S0 neutron-neutron scattering lengths. We discuss the Berstch parameter in…
We present the spectral analysis of a one-dimensional Hubbard model with a parabolic potential, using a real-space cluster perturbation theory (rCPT) designed to study spatially inhomogeneous electron systems with strong correlation. It is…
Supersymmetric models often predict a lightest superpartner (LSP) which is electrically charged and stable on the timescales of collider experiments. If such a particle were to be observed experimentally, is it possible to determine whether…
We study the ground-state properties of hard-core bosons trapped by arbitrary confining potentials on one-dimensional optical lattices. A recently developed exact approach based on the Jordan-Wigner transformation is used. We analyze the…
The weak gravity conjecture suggests that, in a self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, the strength of gravity is bounded from above by the strengths of the various gauge forces in the theory. In particular, this intriguing conjecture…
We study the states of one and two atoms in a rotating ring lattice in a Hubbard type tight-binding model. The model is developed carefully from basic principles in order to properly identify the physical observables. The one-particle…
Recently, we have proposed the existence of a universal relation between the maximal electric charge and total mass of any weakly self-gravitating object: $Z\leq Z^*={\alpha}^{-1/3}A^{2/3}$, where $Z$ is the number of protons, $A$ is the…
We present a graphical approach to understanding the degeneracy, density of states, and cumulative state number for some simple quantum systems. By taking advantage of basic computing operations we define a straightforward procedure for…
Now that the properties of the ground state of quantum-mechanical many-body systems (bosons) at low density, $\rho$, can be examined experimentally it is appropriate to revisit some of the formulas deduced by many authors 4-5 decades ago.…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture is typically stated as a bound on the mass-to-charge ratio of a particle in the theory. Alternatively, it has been proposed that its natural formulation is in terms of the existence of a particle which is…
A systematic investigation of superheavy nuclei in the isotopic chains of proton numbers Z=106, 114, 120, and 126 together with isotonic chains of neutron numbers N=162, 172, and 184 is presented in the theoretical framework of relativistic…
Matter with an equation of state $p=-\rho/3$ may arise in certain scalar field theories, and the energy density of this matter decreases as $a^{-2}$ with the scale factor $a$ of the Universe. In this case, the Universe could be closed but…
The Collatz Conjecture's connection to dynamical systems opens it to a variety of techniques aimed at recurrence and density results. First, we turn to density results and strengthen the result of Terras through finding a strict rate of…
