In this paper the Hamiltonian of quantum electrodynamics with spatial cutoffs is investigated. We define a scaled total Hamiltonian and consider its asymptotic behavior. In the main theorem, it is shown that the scaled total Hamiltonian…
We calculate a renormalized Hamiltonian for pure-glue QCD and diagonalize it. The renormalization procedure is designed to produce a Hamiltonian that will yield physical states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle…
We investigate the issue of regularization/renormalization in the presence of a nontrivial background in the case of 1+1-(supersymmetric) solitons. In particular we study and compare the commonly employed regularization methods (mode-…
The long standing problem of a non-perturbative renormalization of a gauge field theoretical Hamiltonian is addressed and explicitly carried out within an (effective) light-cone Hamiltonian approach to QCD. The procedure is in line with the…
For quantum systems with competing potentials, the conventional perturbation theory often yields an asymptotic series and the subsequent numerical outcome becomes uncertain. To tackle such kind of problems, we develop a general solution…
I agree with the authors of hep-th/0211149 that the claim made in Phys.Lett. B542, 282 (2002) is incorrect and that the derivation of its main formula, although correct, contains two compensating errors. In this reply the main formula of…
We review our work on computations of the quantum corrections to the mass and the central charge of the susy kink. For the mass corrections, we find that the widely used momentum cut-off scheme gives an incorrect result, but we deduce…
Workhorse theories throughout all of physics derive effective Hamiltonians to describe slow time evolution, even though low-frequency modes are actually coupled to high-frequency modes. Such effective Hamiltonians are accurate because of…
After analyzing Dirac's equation, one can suggest that a well-known quantum-mechanical momentum operator is associated with relativistic momentum, rather than with non-relativistic one. Consideration of relativistic energy and momentum…
We consider quantum corrections to a kink of noncommutative supersymmetric phi^4 theory in 1+1 dimensions. Despite the presence of an infinite number of time derivatives in the action, we are able to define supercharges and a Hamiltonian by…
Generally, the local interactions in a many-body quantum spin system on a lattice do not commute with each other. Consequently, the Hamiltonian of a local region will generally not commute with that of the entire system, and so the two…
We reanalyse the question whether the quantum Bogomolnyi bound is saturated in the two-dimensional supersymmetric kink and sine-Gordon models. Our starting point is the usual expression for the one-loop correction to the mass of a soliton…
A new scheme of field quantization is proposed. Instead of associating with different frequencies different oscillators we begin with a single oscillator that can exist in a superposition of different frequencies. The idea is applied to the…
The article delivers the only still unknown coefficient in the 4th post-Newtonian energy expression for binary point masses on circular orbits as function of orbital angular frequency. Apart from a single coefficient, which is known solely…
We discuss, in the context of energy flow in high-dimensional systems and Kolmogorov-Arnol'd-Moser (KAM) theory, the behavior of a chain of rotators (rotors) which is purely Hamiltonian, apart from dissipation at just one end. We derive…
The Hamiltonian of a gravitational system defined in a region with boundary is quantized. The classical Hamiltonian, and starting point for the regularization, is required by functional differentiablity of the Hamiltonian constraint. The…
In a full solution for a scalar quantum field coupled to an accelerating isotropic universe, all constituent non-autonomous modes of elementary excitation cease to oscillate and become unstable at a discrete sequence of times. After…
The diagonalization of the metrical Hamiltonian of a scalar field with an arbitrary coupling with a curvature in N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space is performed. The energy spectrum of the corresponding quasiparticles is obtained.…
We show how to derive fixed-point Hamiltonians in quantum mechanics from a proposed renormalization group invariance approach that relies in a subtraction procedure at a given energy scale. The scheme is valid for arbitrary interactions…
The conventional Hamiltonian $H= p^2+ V_N(x)$, where the potential $V_N(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $N$, has been studied intensively since the birth of quantum mechanics. In some cases, its spectrum can be determined by combining the WKB…
