We study a class of defect quantum field theories where the quantum field theory in the 3+1-dimensional bulk is a free photon and charged matter and the interactions of the photons with the charges occur entirely on a 2+1-dimensional…
We use a perturbative semiclassical trace formula to calculate the three lowest-order multipole (quadrupole $\eps_2$, octupole $\eps_3$, and hexadecapole $\eps_4$) deformations of simple metal clusters with $90 \le N \le 550$ atoms in their…
We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the energies deposited on calorimeters placed at a large…
A flat elastic sheet may contain pointlike conical singularities that carry a metrical "charge" of Gaussian curvature. Adding such elementary defects to a sheet allows one to make many shapes, in a manner broadly analogous to the familiar…
For materials of varying band gap, we compare energy levels of atomically localized defects calculated within a semilocal and a hybrid density-functional scheme. Since the latter scheme partially relieves the band gap problem, our study…
First quasiclassical correction to the differential cross section of high-energy electron-positron photoproduction in the electric field of a heavy atom is obtained with the exact account of the field. This correction is responsible for the…

We present a systematic methodology for the accurate calculation of defect structures in supercells which we illustrate with a study of the neutral vacancy in silicon. This is a prototypical defect which has been studied extensively using…
Decoupling of heavy quarks at low energies can be described by means of an effective theory as shown by S. Weinberg in Ref. [1]. We study the decoupling of the charm quark by lattice simulations. We simulate a model, QCD with two degenerate…
In this work we explore the performance of approximations to electron correlation in reduced density-matrix functional theory (RDMFT) and of approximations to the observables calculated within this theory. Our analysis focuses on the…
We present a multiscale atomistic-to-continuum method for ionic crystals with defects. Defects often play a central role in ionic and electronic solids, not only to limit reliability, but more importantly to enable the functionalities that…
We apply point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) to electronic and muonic 4He+ ions, and use it to identify linear combinations of spectroscopic measurements for which the theoretical uncertainties are much smaller than for any…
The "standard" theory of a normal metal consists of an effective electron band which interacts with phonons and impurities. The effects due to the electron-phonon interaction are often delineated within the Migdal approximation; the…
A method is presented to evaluate the particle-phonon coupling (PC) corrections to the single-particle energies (SPEs) in semi-magic nuclei. In such nuclei always there is a collective low-lying $2^+$ phonon, and a strong mixture of…
A methodology for calculating the contribution of charged defects to the configurational free energy of an ionic crystal is introduced. The temperature-independent Wang-Landau Monte Carlo technique is applied to a simple model of a solid…
Continuum states of the Dirac equation are calculated numerically for the electrostatic field generated by the charge distribution of an atomic nucleus. The behavior of the wave functions of an incoming electron with a given asymptotic…
The defect relaxation volumes obtained from density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of charged vacancies and interstitials are much larger than their neutral counterparts, seemingly unphysically large. In this work, we investigate the…
Analytical expressions for the binding energy of electrons and positrons in dielectric clusters, analysed in this work, neglect the elastic effects. Therefore, we present the density-functional theory for neutral liquid clusters that…
