Scalar relativistic corrections to atomization energies of 1st-and 2nd-row molecules can be rationalized in terms of a simple additive model, linear in changes in atomic s populations. In a sample of 200 first-and second-row molecules, such…
We study logarithms of the form $\ln(m_q/m_b)$ which arise in the inclusive semileptonic decay of a bottom quark to a quark of mass $m_q$. We use the renormalization group to resum the leading radiative corrections to these terms, of the…

We consider relativistic many-particle operators which - according to Brown and Ravenhall - describe the electronic states of heavy atoms. Their ground state energy is investigated in the limit of large nuclear charge and velocity of light.…
Ambiguities of the so-called Thiemann regularization in Loop Quantum Cosmology lead to freedom in how to construct a particular quantization prescription. So far three distinct examples of such have been proposed in the literature. For two…
We consider linear and obstacle problems driven by a nonlocal integral operator, for which nonlocal interactions are restricted to a ball of finite radius. These type of operators are used to model anomalous diffusion and, for a special…
In this paper we consider nonlinear problems with an operator depending only on the deformation tensor. We consider the class of operators derived from a potential and with $(p,\delta)$ structure, for $1<p\leq 2$ and for all $\delta\geq0$.…

The usual Laurent expansion of the analytic tensors on the complex plane is generalized to any closed and orientable Riemann surface represented as an affine algebraic curve. As an application, the operator formalism for the $b-c$ systems…
We derive a general relativistic Hamiltonian valid for both bound and scattering systems by reducing the four-component Dirac equation to a two-component Dirac-Pauli form. Unlike conventional approaches, our formulation includes first-order…
