Variational (Rayleigh-Ritz) methods are applied to local quantum field theory. For scalar theories the wave functional is parametrized in the form of a superposition of Gaussians and the expectation value of the Hamiltonian is expressed in…
Three new models with V-shaped field potentials $U$ are considered: a complex scalar field $X$ in 1+1 dimensions with $U(X)= |X|$, a real scalar field $\Phi$ in 2+1 dimensions with $U(\Phi) = |\Phi|$, and a real scalar field $\phi$ in 1+1…

Quantifier elimination (QE) is an important problem that has numerous applications. Unfortunately, QE is computationally very hard. Earlier we introduced a generalization of QE called $\mathit{partial}$ QE (or PQE for short). PQE allows to…

We consider the dynamics of power-law inflation with a nonminimally coupled scalar field $\phi$. It is well known that multiple scalar fields with exponential potentials $V(\phi)=V_0 {\rm exp}(-\sqrt{16\pi/p m_{\rm pl}^2} \phi)$ lead to an…
Using recently proposed soliton equations we derive a basic identity for the scaling violation of $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories $\sum_i a_i\partial F/\partial a_i-2F=8 \pi i b_1 u$. Here $F$ is the prepotential, $a_i$'s are the…
