Finite size effects alter not only the energy levels of small systems, but can also lead to new effective interactions within these systems. Here the problem of low energy quantum scattering by a spherically symmetric short range potential…
We consider the constraints of causality and unitarity for the low-energy interactions of protons and neutrons. We derive a general theorem that non-vanishing partial-wave mixing cannot be reproduced with zero-range interactions without…
Using a generalized T-matrix description which, in principle, exactly includes Coulomb correlations and potential scattering events, resonant and bound impurity states are discussed. Like in the non-interacting case, the effects of the…
We discuss appearance at the LHC energies of the geometric phase, which in its turn can reflect a presence of the non-factorizable background geometry proposed in the RS-scenario with extra spatial dimensions.
In this paper, we investigate well-posedness of time-harmonic scattering of elastic waves by unbounded rigid rough surfaces in three dimensions. The elastic scattering is caused by an $L^2$ function with a compact support in the…
Causal set theory is an approach to quantum gravity in which spacetime is fundamentally discrete at the Planck scale and takes the form of a Lorentzian lattice, or "causal set", from which continuum spacetime emerges in a large-scale…
