The past decade has seen a remarkable resurgence of the old programme of finding more or less a priori axioms for the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics. The new impetus comes largely from quantum information theory; in contrast to…
We consider mathematical models of the weak decay of the vector bosons $W^{\pm}$ into leptons. The free quantum field hamiltonian is perturbed by an interaction term from the standard model of particle physics. After the introduction of…
Besides the standard quantum version of the Coulomb/Kepler problem, an alternative quantum model with not too dissimilar phenomenological (i.e., spectral and scattering) as well as mathematical (i.e., exact-solvability) properties may be…
In the context of the recent interest in solvable models of scattering mediated by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (cf. H. F. Jones, Phys. Rev. D 76, 125003 (2007)) we show that and how the well known variability of our ad hoc choice of the…
The scattering equations are a set of algebraic equations connecting the kinematic space of massless particles and the moduli space of Riemann spheres with marked points. We present an efficient method for solving the scattering equations…
One-dimensional scattering problem admitting a complex, PT-symmetric short-range potential V(x) is considered. Using a Runge-Kutta-discretized version of Schroedinger equation we derive the formulae for the reflection and transmission…
In this note, we outline the general development of a theory of symmetric homology of algebras, an analog of cyclic homology where the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. This theory is developed using the framework of crossed…
Non-Hermitian systems characterized by suitable spatial distributions of gain and loss can exhibit "spectral singularities" in the form of zero-width resonances associated to real-frequency poles in the scattering operator. Here, we study…
We discuss a hierarchy of broken symmetries with special emphasis on partial dynamical symmetries (PDS). The latter correspond to a situation in which a non-invariant Hamiltonian accommodates a subset of solvable eigenstates with good…
In contact Hamiltonian systems, the so-called dissipated quantities are akin to conserved quantities in classical Hamiltonian systems. In this paper, we prove a Noether's theorem for non-autonomous contact Hamiltonian systems,…
This note remarks that the correspondence between non-unital algebras and augmented unital algebras can be derived from Hovey's Smith ideal theory. Applying Smith ideal theory of stable symmetric monoidal model category, we formulate…
Two systems are homometric if they are indistinguishable by diffraction. We first make a distinction between Bragg and diffuse scattering homometry, and show that in the last case, coherent diffraction can allow the diffraction diagrams to…
It is generally assumed that a Hamiltonian for a physically acceptable quantum system (one that has a positive-definite spectrum and obeys the requirement of unitarity) must be Hermitian. However, a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian can also define…
The capacity to custom tailor the properties of quantum matter and materials is a central requirement for enlarging their range of possible functionalities. A particularly promising route is the use of driving protocols to engineer specific…
We use the Dunkl operator approach to construct one dimensional integrable models describing N particles with internal degrees of freedom. These models are described by a general Hamiltonian belonging to the center of the Yangian or the…
In one-dimensional (1D) non-perturbative many-electron problems such as the 1D Hubbard model the electronic charge and spin degrees of freedom separate into exotic quantum objects. However, there are two different representations for such…
Problem solutions in area of diffraction and of scattering theory are considered from one point of view. The method common for them is based on approximate orthogonality of solution constituents, which oscillate on a body long frontier.…
More than 15 years ago, a new approach to quantum mechanics was suggested, in which Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian was to be replaced by invariance under a discrete symmetry, the product of parity and time-reversal symmetry, $\mathcal{PT}$.…
We consider scalar tensor theories in D-dimensional spacetime, D \ge 4. They consist of metric and a non minimally coupled scalar field, with its non minimal coupling characterised by a function. The probes couple minimally to the metric…
We highlight the conceptual issues that arise when one applies the quasi-Hermitian framework to analyze scattering from localized non-Hermitian potentials, in particular complex square-wells or delta-functions. When treated in the framework…
