We consider the Bogolubov-Hartree-Fock functional for a fermionic many-body system with two-body interactions. For suitable interaction potentials that have a strong enough attractive tail in order to allow for two-body bound states, but…
We consider ground states of a pseudo-relativistic Fermi system in the $L^2$-critical case. We prove that the system admits ground states, if and only if the attractive strength $a$ satisfies $0<a<D_{4/3,2}$, where $D_{4/3,2}\in(0, \infty)$…
We study the triviality and hierarchy problem of a Z_2-invariant Yukawa system with massless fermions and a real scalar field, serving as a toy model for the standard-model Higgs sector. Using the functional RG, we look for UV stable fixed…
While Hartree-Fock theory is well established as a fundamental approximation for interacting fermions, it has been unclear how to describe corrections to it due to many-body correlations. In this paper we start from the Hartree-Fock state…
We propose and investigate a Yukawa model featuring a dynamical scalar field coupled to relativistic Luttinger fermions. Using the functional renormalization group (RG) as well as large-$N_{\text{f}}$ or perturbative expansions, we observe…
A new formulation of perturbation theory for a description of the Dirac and scalar fields (the Yukawa model) is suggested. As the main approximation the self-consistent field model is chosen, which allows in a certain degree to account for…

Ground state Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory is applied to imbalanced spin-1/2 one-dimensional Fermi systems that are spatially confined by either a harmonic or a hard-wall trapping potential. It has been hoped that such systems, which…
In this article, we present an ongoing lattice study of the Higgs-Yukawa model, in the regime of strong-Yukawa coupling, using overlap fermions. We investigated the phase structure in this regime by computing the Higgs vacuum expectation…
Yukawa-type interactions between heavy Dirac fermions and a scalar field are a common ingredient in various extensions of the Standard Model. Despite of that, the non-relativistic limit of the scalar Yukawa theory has not yet been studied…
For strong enough Yukawa coupling the electroweak standard model fermion finds it energetically advantageous to transform itself into a bound state in the hedgehog background of Higgs field in semiclassical approximation. By considering the…
We give a lower bound on the ground state energy of a system of two fermions of one species interacting with two fermions of another species via point interactions. We show that there is a critical mass ratio m_c \approx 0.58 such that the…
We investigate the ground states of neutron stars and white dwarfs in the Hartree-Fock (HF) and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theories. It is known that the system is stable below a critical mass, which depends on the gravitational…
We consider non-relativistic systems in quantum mechanics interacting through the Coulomb potential, and discuss the existence of bound states which are stable against spontaneous dissociation into smaller atoms or ions. We review the…
It is proved that the class of stable interatomic potentials admits an exact representation in the form of a finite or infinite superposition of Yukawa potentials. An auxiliary scalar field is introduced to describe the dynamics of a system…
Ground states of the so called Yukawa model is considered. The Yukawa model describes a Dirac field interacting with a Klein-Gordon field. By introducing both ultraviolet cutoffs and spatial cutoffs, the total Hamiltonian is defined as a…
We study the phase diagram and the stability of the ground state for certain four-dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories whose high-energy behaviour is controlled by an interacting fixed point. We also provide analytical and numerical results…
In this note we consider whether there could be Swampland constraints associated to the presence of fermions in the theory. We propose that any fermion must couple to an infinite tower of states, and that the mass scale of this tower, in…
The naive fermiophobic scenario is unstable under radiative corrections, due to the chiral-symmetry breaking induced by fermion mass terms. In a recent study, the problem of including the radiative corrections has been tackled via an…
