The aim of the lecture is to briefly describe the mathematical background of scattering theory for two- and three-particle quantum systems. We discuss basic objects of the theory: wave and scattering operators and the corresponding…
Nucleon-nucleon scattering is studied to next-to-leading order in a partially-quenched extension of an effective field theory used to describe multi-nucleon systems in QCD. The partially-quenched nucleon-nucleon amplitudes will play an…
Nuclear physics seeks to describe both bound and unbound states within a unified predictive framework. While coordinate-space Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have successfully computed bound states for systems with $A \leq 12$, their…
The problem of quantizing a class of two-dimensional integrable quantum field theories is considered. The classical equations of the theory are the complex $sl(n)$ affine Toda equations which admit soliton solutions with real masses. The…
A rigorous definition of a path integral for a spinning particle in three dimensions is given on a regular cubic lattice. The critical diffusion constant and the associated critical exponents in each spin are calculated. Continuum field…
Contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentz invariance. A causal set's discreteness is in fact locally Lorentz invariant, and we recall the reasons why. For illustration, we introduce a…
Various approaches to high energy forward scattering in quantum gravity are compared using the eikonal approximation. The massless limit of the eikonal is shown to be equivalent to other approximations for the same process, specifically the…
We introduce a spectral approach to non-perturbative field theory within the periodic field formalism. As an example we calculate the real and imaginary parts of the propagator in 1+1 dimensional phi^4 theory, identifying both one-particle…
In classical field theory, radiation does not reflect off of reflectionless kinks. In quantum field theory, radiation quanta, called mesons, can be reflected. We provide a general analytical formula for the leading order amplitude and…
We show that a suitable deformation of the algebra $h_k(1)$ of the creation and annihilation operators for a complex scalar field, initially quantized in Minkowski space--time, induces the canonical quantization of the same field in a…
A quantization of field theory based on the DeDonder-Weyl covariant Hamiltonian formulation is discussed. A hypercomplex extension of quantum mechanics, in which the space-time Clifford algebra replaces that of the complex numbers, appears…
We propose a method to construct quantum theory of matter fields in a topology changing universe. Analytic continuation of the semiclassical gravity of a Lorentzian geometry leads to a non-unitary Schr\"{o}dinger equation in a Euclidean…
In this paper we study the quantisation of scalar field theory in $\kappa$-deformed space-time. Using a quantisation scheme that use only field equations, we derive the quantisation rules for deformed scalar theory, starting from the…
In recent years the idea that not only the configuration space of particles, i.e. spacetime, but also the corresponding momentum space may have nontrivial geometry has attracted significant attention, especially in the context of quantum…
We apply a new and mathematically rigorous method for the quantization of constrained systems to two-dimensional gauge theories. In this method, which quantizes Marsden-Weinstein symplectic reduction, the inner product on the physical state…
Segal's hypothesis that physical theories drift toward simple groups follows from a general quantum principle and suggests a general quantization process. I general-quantize the scalar meson field in Minkowski space-time to illustrate the…
According to the classical Einstein-Maxwell theory of gravity and electromagnetism, a light-wave traveling in empty space-time is accompanied by a gravitational field of the pp-type. Therefore point masses are scattered by a light wave,…
We present novel solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation in a black string spacetime immersed in an anisotropic quintessence fluid and surrounded by a cloud of strings (BCK spacetime). The solutions are shown to depend on the quintessence…
A scalar quantum field theory defined on a discrete spatial coordinate is examined. The renormalization of the lattice propagator is discussed with an emphasis on the periodic nature of the associated momentum coordinate. The analytic…
Combinatorial quantum gravity is governed by a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action formulated on an ensemble of random graphs. There is strong evidence for a second-order quantum phase transition separating a random phase at strong coupling…
