In the Heliosphere, power-law particle distributions are observed e.g. upstream of interplanetary shocks, which can result from superdiffusive transport. This non-Gaussian transport regime may result from intermittent magnetic field…
Different quantum Langevin equations obtained by coupling a particle to a field are examined. Instabilities or violations of causality affect the motion of a point charge linearly coupled to the electromagnetic field. In contrast, coupling…
We consider dipolar excitations propagating via dipole-induced exchange among immobile molecules randomly spaced in a lattice. The character of the propagation is determined by long-range hops (Levy flights). We analyze the eigen-energy…
In quantum mechanics, the space-fractional Schr\"{o}dinger equation provides a natural extension of the standard Schr\"{o}dinger equation when the Brownian trajectories in Feynman path integrals are replaced by Levy flights. Here an optical…
We present and analyze two mathematical models for the self consistent quantum transport of electrons in a graphene layer. We treat two situations. First, when the particles can move in all the plane $\RR^2$, the model takes the form of a…
Levy walks are random processes with an underlying spatiotemporal coupling. This coupling penalizes long jumps, and therefore Levy walks give a proper stochastic description for a particle's motion with broad jump length distribution. We…
The field theory quantized on the {\it light-front} is compared with the conventional equal-time quantized theory. The arguments based on the {\it microcausality} principle imply that the light-front field theory may become nonlocal with…
Recently, a self-contained trajectory-based formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics was developed [Ann. Phys. 315, 505 (2005); Chem. Phys. 370, 4 (2010); J. Chem. Phys. 136, 031102 (2012)], that makes no use of wavefunctions or…
A model of self-interacting quantum non-local Dirac's electron has been proposed. Its dynamics was revealed by the projective representation of operators corresponding to spin/charge degrees of freedom. Energy-momentum field is described by…
We investigate the properties of the path integral over reparametrizations (= the boundary value of the Liouville field in open string theory). Discretizing the path integral, we apply the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to numerical…
L\'evy walks are continuous time random walks with spatio-temporal coupling of jump lengths and waiting times, often used to model superdiffusive spreading processes such as animals searching for food, tracer motion in weakly chaotic…
A new application of quantum field theory is developed that gives a description of the internal dynamics of dressed elementary particles and predicts their masses. The fermionic and bosonic quantum fields are treated as interdependent…
Here I present a new discrete model of quantum mechanics for relativistic 1-electron systems, in which particle movement is described by a directed space-time graph with attached 4-spinors, but without any continuous wave functions. These…
We derive a grey linear diffusion equation for photons with respect to inertial (or lab-frame) space and time, using asymptotic analysis in 1D planar geometry. The solution of the equation is the comoving radiation energy density. Our…
We study transport in a model perturbed integrable Hamiltonian system by calculating the volume, V(t), of elementary phase space cells visited by a trajectory, as a function of time. We use this function in order to "measure" the fractality…
We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension.…
The second quantization of a real massless scalar field in the presence of a material medium described by a Drude-like susceptibility is here examined in a 1+1 dimensional model. The modified vacuum fluctuations of this field imprint…
The paper is devoted to the relationship between the continuous Markovian description of Levy flights developed previously and their equivalent representation in terms of discrete steps of a wandering particle, a certain generalization of…
Levy walk is a fundamental model with applications ranging from quantum physics to paths of animal foraging. Taking animal foraging as an example, a natural idea that comes to one's mind is to introduce the multiple internal states for…
We construct the path integral formulation of the partition function for a free scalar thermal field theory using coherent states, first in the ladder operator basis and then in the field operator basis. In so doing, we provide for the…
