We introduce a new approach to derive mean-field limits for first- and second-order particle systems with singular interactions. It is based on a duality approach combined with the analysis of linearized dual correlations, and it allows to…
The pair contact process with diffusion is studied by means of multispin Monte Carlo simulations and density matrix renormalization group calculations. Effective critical exponents are found to behave nonmonotonically as functions of time…
We study the ultraviolet problem for models of a finite-dimensional quantum mechanical system linearly coupled to a bosonic quantum field, such as the (many-)spin boson model or its rotating-wave approximation. If the state change of the…
We present and analyse a model for cell signalling processes in biological tissues. The model includes diffusion and nonlinear reactions on the cell surfaces, and both inter- and intracellular signalling. Using techniques from the theory of…
We develop a renormalization method for calculating the electronic structure of single and double quantum dots under intense ac fields. The nanostructures are emulated by lattice models with a clear continuum limit of the effective-mass and…
A new efficient numerical algorithm for interacting fermion systems is proposed and examined in detail. The ground state is expressed approximately by a linear combination of numerically chosen basis states in a truncated Hilbert space. Two…
This paper considers contact processes with additional voter model dynamics. For such models, results of Lloyd and Sudbury can be applied to find a self-duality, as well as dualities and thinning relations with systems of random walks with…
We establish explicit duality transformations for systems of M q-state Potts models coupled through their local energy density, generalising known results for M=1,2,3. The M-dimensional space of coupling constants contains a selfdual…
The low-lying bound states of a microscopic quantum many-body system of $n$ particles and the related physical observables can be worked out in a truncated $n$--particle Hilbert space. We present here a non-perturbative analysis of this…

In this article a comparative study of the renormalization of entanglement in one, two and three dimensional space and its relation with quantum phase transition (QPT) near the critical point is presented by implementing the Quantum…
We discuss methods used in mean-field theories to treat pairing correlations within the local density approximation. Pairing renormalization and regularization procedures are compared in spherical and deformed nuclei. Both prescriptions…
A non-perturbative renormalization of a many-body problem, where non-relativistic bosons living on a two dimensional Riemannian manifold interact with each other via the two-body Dirac delta potential, is given by the help of the heat…
We extend replica exchange simulation in two ways, and apply our approaches to biomolecules. The first generalization permits exchange simulation between models of differing resolution -- i.e., between detailed and coarse-grained models.…
A method of ``blocking'' triangulations that rests on the self-similarity feature of dynamically triangulated random manifolds is proposed. The method is used to define the renormalization group for random geometries. As an illustration,…
We present a refined duality estimate for parabolic equations. This estimate entails new results for systems of reaction-diffusion equations, including smoothness and exponential convergence towards equilibrium for equations with quadratic…

Here we continue the work started by Steve Krone on the two-stage contact process. We give a simplified proof of the duality relation, and answer most of the open questions posed in that paper. We also fill in the details of an incomplete…
