The static and dynamics properties of finite-size lattice quantum spin models which spontaneously break a continuous $U(1)$ symmetry in the thermodynamic limit are of central importance for a wide variety of physical systems, from condensed…
We provide a review on the physics associated with phase transitions in which continuous scale invariance is broken into discrete scale invariance. The rich features of this transition characterized by the abrupt formation of a geometric…
We consider a particle with a position-dependent mass, moving in a three-dimensional semi-infinite parallelepipedal or cylindrical channel under the influence of some hyperbolic potential. We show that the lack of uniformity in the…
Depending on the coupling to the environment, symmetries of open quantum systems manifest in two distinct forms, the strong and the weak. We study the spontaneous symmetry breaking among phases with strong symmetry, weak symmetry, and no…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the symmetric zero-range process in the finite lattice $\{1,\ldots, N-1\}$ with slow boundary, in which particles are created at site $1$ or annihilated at site $N\!-\!1$ with a rate proportional to…
Finite size effects alter not only the energy levels of small systems, but can also lead to new effective interactions within these systems. Here the problem of low energy quantum scattering by a spherically symmetric short range potential…
We discuss spontaneously broken quantum field theories with a continuous symmetry group via the constraint effective potential. Employing lattice simulations with constrained values of the order parameter, we demonstrate explicitly that the…

Novel results for the self-consistent single-particle spectral function and self-energy are presented for non-degenerate one-component Coulomb systems at various densities and temperatures. The GW^0-method for the dynamical self-energy is…
We investigate the parity- and time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetry breaking in lattice models in the presence of long-ranged, non-hermitian, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potentials that remain finite or become divergent in the continuum…
We demonstrate the existence of a universal transition from a continuous scale invariant phase to a discrete scale invariant phase for a class of one-dimensional quantum systems with anisotropic scaling symmetry between space and time.…
This paper considers the equilibrium positions of $n$ particles in one dimension. Two forces act on the particles; a nonlocal repulsive particle-interaction force and an external force which pushes them to an impenetrable barrier. While the…
Conserved quantities are obtained and analyzed in the new models with global scale invariance recently proposed. Such models allow for non tivial scalar field potentials and masses for particles, so that the scale symmetry must be broken…
We describe one-dimensional stationary scattering of a two-component wave field by a non-Hermitian matrix potential which features odd-$PT$ symmetry, i.e., symmetry with $(PT)^2=-1$. The scattering is characterized by a $4\times 4$ transfer…
Using the Euclidean path integral approach with functional methods, we discuss the $(g_{0} \phi^{p})_{d}$ self-interacting scalar field theory, in the strong-coupling regime. We assume the presence of macroscopic boundaries confining the…
A macroscopic, self-propelled wave-particle entity (WPE) that emerges as a walking droplet on the surface of a vibrating liquid bath exhibits several hydrodynamic quantum analogs. We explore the rich dynamical and quantum-like features…
It is known that the overlap of two energy eigenstates in a decaying quantum system is bounded from above by a function of the energy detuning and the individual decay rates. This is usually traced back to the positive definiteness of an…
In this work, we consider a Bose-Einstein condensate in the self-focusing regime, confined transversely by a funnel-like potential and axially by a double-well potential formed by the combination of two inverted P\"oschl-Teller potentials.…
We consider a three-body one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with zero range potentials, which models a positive impurity with charge $\kappa > 0$ interacting with an exciton. We study the existence of discrete eigenvalues as $\kappa$ is…
Using the method of the "exact discretization" of the Schr\"odinger equation, we propose a particular discretized version of the N=2 Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics. After defining the corresponding shape invariance condition, we show that…
