Dispersion relations provide a powerful tool to describe the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon both in the spacelike and timelike regions with constraints from unitarity and perturbative QCD. We give a brief introduction into…
We present an exact decomposition of the complete wavefunction for a system of nuclei and electrons evolving in a time-dependent external potential. We derive formally exact equations for the nuclear and electronic wavefunctions that lead…
We study the Sudakov form factor on the Coulomb branch of N=4 sYM, which endows only external states with masses, and implies that the former is off-shell in the traditional sense. Our consideration is performed at three-loop order in the…
Calculations for infinite nuclear matter with realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions suggest that the isoscalar effective mass of a nucleon at the saturation density, m*/m, equals 0.8 +/- 0.1. This result is at variance with empirical data…
We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is…
Dispersion relations allow for a coherent description of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors measured over a large range of momentum transfer, $Q^2 \simeq 0 \ldots 35$ GeV$^2$. Including constraints from unitarity and perturbative QCD,…
In analogy with classical electromagnetic theory, where one determines the total charge and both electric and magnetic multipole moments of a source from certain surface integrals of the asymptotic (or far) fields, it has been known for…
Newtonian gravitational potential sourced by a homogeneous circular ring in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space takes a simple form if the spatial dimension is even. In contrast, if the spatial dimension is odd, it is given in a form that…

The Urysohn space is a separable complete metric space with two fundamental properties: (a) universality: every separable metric space can be isometrically embedded in it; (b) ultrahomogeneity: every finite isometry between two finite…
We study a non-relativistic particle subject to a three-dimensional spherical potential consisting of a finite well and a radial $\delta$-$\delta'$ contact interaction at the well edge. This contact potential is defined by appropriate…

Perfect (optical) vortices (PVs) have the mooted ability to encode orbital angular momentum (OAM) onto the field within a well-defined annular ring. Although this makes the near-field radial profile independent of OAM, the far-field radial…

A variational principle is applied to 4D Euclidean space provided with a tensor refractive index, defining what can be seen as 4-dimensional optics (4DO). The geometry of such space is analysed, making no physical assumptions of any kind.…
