A quantum theory of feedback of bosonic many-atom systems is formulated. The feedback-induced many-atom correlations are treated by use of a parameterized correlation function, for which closed equations of motion are derived. Therefrom the…
High energy scattering in the QCD parton model was recently shown to be a reaction-diffusion process, and thus to lie in the universality class of the stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. We recall that the latter…
We develop a non-relativistic quantum field theory of electrons and nuclei based on the Coulomb Hamiltonian. We derive the exact equations of motion and write these equations in the form of Hedin's equations for all species of identical…

By using geometric methods and superenergy tensors, we find new simple criteria for the causal propagation of physical fields in spacetimes of any dimension. The method can be applied easily to many different theories and to arbitrary…
A rigorous definition of a path integral for a spinning particle in three dimensions is given on a regular cubic lattice. The critical diffusion constant and the associated critical exponents in each spin are calculated. Continuum field…
Bosonic mean-field theories can approximate the dynamics of systems of $n$ bosons provided that $n \gg 1$. We show that there can also be an exact correspondence at finite $n$ when the bosonic system is generalized to include interactions…
