Abstract interior-boundary conditions (IBC's) allow for the direct description of the domain and the action of Hamiltonians for a certain class of ultraviolet-divergent models in Quantum Field Theory. The method was recently applied to…
In the theory of point interactions, one is given a formal expression for a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian. The interaction terms of the Hamiltonian are singular: they can not be rigorously defined as a perturbation (in the operator or form…
We construct Hamiltonians for systems of nonrelativistic particles linearly coupled to massive scalar bosons using abstract boundary conditions. The construction yields an explicit characterisation of the domain of self-adjointness in terms…
We consider the Nelson model which describes a quantum system of nonrelativistic identical particles coupled to a possibly massless scalar Bose field through a Yukawa type interaction. We study the limiting behaviour of that model in a…
The Nelson model describes non-relativistic particles coupled to a relativistic Bose scalar field. In this article, we study the renormalized version of the Nelson model with massless bosons in Davies' weak coupling limit. Our main result…
We describe the picture of physical processes suggested by Edward Nelson's stochastic mechanics when generalized to quantum field theory regularized on a lattice, after an introductory review of his theory applied to the hydrogen atom. By…
We study properties of the ground state of the Nelson model through functional integration. We obtain bounds on the average and the variance of the Bose field both in position and momentum space, on the distribution of the number of bosons,…
We study the renormalized Nelson model for a scalar matter particle in a continuous confining potential interacting with a possibly massless quantized radiation field. When the radiation field is massless we impose a mild infrared…
We consider the Nelson model on some static space-times and investigate the problem of absence of a ground state. Nelson models with variable coefficients arise when one replaces in the usual Nelson model the flat Minkowski metric by a…
The massless Nelson model describes non-relativistic, spinless quantum particles interacting with a relativistic, massless, scalar quantum field. The interaction is linear in the field. We analyze the one particle sector. First, we…
We consider a model describing $N$ non-relativistic particles coupled to a massless quantum scalar field, called \emph{Nelson model}, under a binding condition on the external potential. We prove that this model does not admit ground state…
In the mid Sixties Edward Nelson proved the existence of a consistent quantum field theory that describes the Yukawa-like interaction of a non-relativistic nucleon field with a relativistic meson field. Since then it is thought, despite the…
We consider the time evolution of the renormalized Nelson model, which describes $N$ bosons linearly coupled to a quantized scalar field, in the mean-field limit of many particles $N\gg 1$ with coupling constant proportional to $N^{-1/2}$.…
We prove that Nelson's massless scalar field model is infrared divergent in three dimensions. In particular, the Nelson Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian obtained from Euclidean quantization are not unitarily equivalent. In contrast, for…
We consider the Nelson model with variable coefficients and investigate the problem of existence of a ground state and the removal of the ultraviolet cutoff. Nelson models with variable coefficients arise when one replaces in the usual…
The goal of this article is to investigate the dynamics of semi-relativistic or non-relativistic charged particles in interaction with a scalar meson field. Our main contribution is the derivation of the classical dynamics of a…
We provide explicit lower bounds for the ground-state energy of the renormalized Nelson model in terms of the coupling constant $\alpha$ and the number of particles $N$, uniform in the meson mass and valid even in the massless case. In…
We construct a Hamiltonian for a quantum-mechanical model of nonrelativistic particles in three dimensions interacting via the creation and annihilation of a second type of nonrelativistic particles, which are bosons. The interaction…
We consider the Nelson model with ultraviolet cutoff, which describes the interaction between non-relativistic particles and a positive or zero mass quantized scalar field. We take the non-relativistic particles to obey Fermi statistics and…
The Nelson model, describing a quantum mechanical particle linearly coupled to a bosonic field, exhibits the infrared problem in the sense that no ground state exists at arbitrary total momentum. However, passing to a non-Fock…
