When using a second-order Schr\"odinger-type equation with the effective potential of the Schwarzschild field, existence of a stationary state of half-spin particles with energy $E=0$ is proved. For each of the values of quantum numbers…
PT-symmetric quantum mechanics began with a study of the Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\varepsilon$. A surprising feature of this non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is that its eigenvalues are discrete, real, and positive when $\varepsilon\geq0$. This…
For Klein-Gordon equation a consistent physical interpretation of wave functions is reviewed as based on a proper modification of the scalar product in Hilbert space. Bound states are then studied in a deep-square-well model where spectrum…

It is an old speculation in physics that, once the gravitational field is successfully quantized, it should serve as the natural regulator of infrared and ultraviolet singularities that plague quantum field theories in a background metric.…
We show how to deal with the generalized q-Schr\"odinger and q-Klein-Gordon fields in a variety of scenarios. These q-fields are meaningful at very high energies (TeVs) for for $q=1.15$, high ones (GeVs) for $q=1.001$, and low energies…

The standard quantum states of $n$ complex Grassmann variables with a free-particle Lagrangian transform as a spinor of SO(2n). However, the same `free-fermion' model has a non-linearly realized $SU(n|1)$ symmetry; it can be viewed as the…
We study the 1-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with s=1/2 using a Majorana representation of the s=1/2 spins. A simple Hartree-Fock approximation of the resulting model gives a bilinear fermionic description of the model. This…
Systematic use of the infinite-dimensional spin representation simplifies and rigorizes several questions in Quantum Field Theory. This representation permutes ``Gaussian'' elements in the fermion Fock space, and is necessarily projective:…

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain exhibits a quantum critical regime characterized by quasi long-range magnetic order at zero temperature. We quantify the strength of quantum fluctuations in the ground state by determining the probability…
In this paper we extend our previous result on the description of the partcle motion in a generalized Heisenberg picture to a relativistic fermion. The operators of the Lorentz algebra in this picture may be regarded as field operators. In…
