Diffractive systems are quantum-mechanical models with point-like singularities where usual semiclassical approximation breaks down. An overview of recent investigations of such systems is presented. The following examples are considered in…
We now set up Constraint Closure in a manner consistent with Temporal and Configurational Relationalism. This requires modifying the Dirac Algorithm - which addresses the Constraint Closure Problem facet of the Problem of Time piecemeal -…
We compare the critical multipoint correlation functions for two-dimensional (massless) Dirac fermions in the presence of a random su(N) (non-Abelian) gauge potential, obtained by three different methods. We critically reexamine previous…
We obtain a simple formula for the first-order trace of a regular differential operator on a segment perturbated by a multiplication operator. The main analytic ingredient of the proof is an improvement of the Tamarkin equiconvergence…
We study the polarization tensor of a Dirac field in $(3+1)$ dimensions confined to a half space -- a problem motivated by applications to the condensed matter physics, and to Topological Insulators in particular. Although the Pauli-Villars…
We extend the dipole formalism of Catani and Seymour to QCD processes involving heavy fermions. We give the appropriate subtraction terms together with their integrated counterpart. All calculations are done within dimensional…
Electrons on a square lattice with half a flux quantum per plaquette are considered. An effective description for the current loops is given by a two-dimensional Dirac theory with random mass. It is shown that the conductivity and the…
Can the cross product be generalized? Why are the trace and determinant so important in matrix theory? What do all the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial represent? This paper describes a technique for `doodling' equations from…
Chord diagrams and combinatorics of word algebras are used to model products of Dirac matrices, their traces, and contractions. A simple formula for the result of arbitrary contractions is derived, simplifying and extending an old…

The main goal of this work is to provide a description of the {trace per unit volume} in terms of the {Dixmier trace} (regularized by the resolvent of the harmonic oscillator) for a large class of two-dimensional \emph{magnetic operators}…
We study the computational complexity of estimating the normalized trace $2^{-n}Tr[f(A)]$ for a log-local Hamiltonian $A$ acting on $n$ qubits. This problem arises naturally in the DQC1 model, yet its complexity is only understood for a…
We formulate three current models of discrete-time quantum walks in a combinatorial way. These walks are shown to be closely related to rotation systems and 1-factorizations of graphs. For two of the models, we compute the traces and total…
We consider quantum rings realized in materials where the dynamics of charge carriers mimics that of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electrons. A general theoretical description of the ring-subband structure is developed that applies to a range…
A basic problem in linear particle optics is to find a symplectic transformation that brings the (symmetric) beam matrix to a special diagonal form, called normal form. The conventional way to do this involves an eigenvalue-decomposition of…
There is good evidence that full general relativity is non-integrable or even chaotic. We point out the severe repercussions: differentiable Dirac observables and a reduced phase space do not exist in non-integrable constrained systems and…
One dimensional system of Dirac fermions with a random-varying mass is studied by the transfer-matrix methods which we developed recently. We investigate the effects of nonlocal correlation of the spatial-varying Dirac mass on the…

We consider the most general loop integral that appears in non-relativistic effective field theories with no light particles. The divergences of this integral are in correspondence with simple poles in the space of complex space-time…
