Quantum states of angular momentum and spin generally are not invariant under rotations of the reference frame. Therefore, they can be used as a resource of relative orientation, which is encoded in the asymmetry of the state under…

In the models defined on the inhomogeneous background the propagators depend on the two space - time momenta rather than on one momentum as in the homogeneous systems. Therefore, the conventional Feynman diagrams contain extra integrations…

Associated Legendre functions of fractional degree appear in the solution of boundary value problems in wedges or in toroidal geometries, and elsewhere in applied mathematics. In the classical case when the degree is half an odd integer,…
