We investigate the analytic structure of solutions of non-relativistic Schr"odinger equations describing Coulombic many-particle systems. We prove the following: Let psi(x) with x=(x_1,...,x_N) in R^{3N} denote an N-electron wavefunction of…

We study a semi-classical Schr{\"o}dinger equation which describes the dynamics of an electron in a crystal in the presence of impurities. It is well-known that under suitable assumptions on the initial data, the wave function can be…

Multi-time wave functions are wave functions that have a time variable for every particle, such as $\phi(t_1,x_1,\ldots,t_N,x_N)$. They arise as a relativistic analog of the wave functions of quantum mechanics but can be applied also in…

The representation of solutions of Maxwell's equations as superpositions of scalar wavelets with vector coefficients developed earlier is generalized to wavelets with polarization, which are matrix-valued. The construction proceeds in four…

The wavefunction for the multiparticle Schr\"odinger equation is a function of many variables and satisfies an antisymmetry condition, so it is natural to approximate it as a sum of Slater determinants. Many current methods do so, but they…

Density functional theory provides the most widespread framework for the realistic description of the electronic structure of solids, but the description of strongly-correlated systems has remained so far elusive. Here we consider a…

We address the problem of interacting electrons in an external potential by introducing the occupied spectral density $\rho(\mathbf{r},\omega)$ as fundamental variable. First, we formulate the problem using an embedding framework, and prove…

Maxwell's equations in the vacuum can be formally cast in the form of Schr\"odinger's equation. Unfortunately, the vector to which this equation directly applies is not a wavefunction: its amplitude squared is not a probability density but…
