Whether spin-independent Coulomb interaction in an electron system can be the origin of ferromagnetism has been an open problem for a long time. Recently, a "constructive" approach to this problem has been developed, and the existence of…
We define the state of minimum energy while the expectation values of the field operators and their time derivatives in a determined moment in such a state are constrained. As an axiom, we consider such a state as the background of the…
We show that the uniform motion of a homogeneous distribution of electric charge can be stable or unstable depending on its geometry. When the electrodynamic body is perturbed from a state of rest, it starts to perform fast oscillations,…
Many-body systems undergoing quantum phase transitions reveal substantial growth of non-classical correlations between different parties of the system. This behavior is manifested by characteristic divergences of the von Neumann entropy.…
Due to their focalizing properties, elliptic quantum corrals present very interesting physical behaviors. In this work, we analyze static and dynamical properties of these systems. Results are presented for realistic values of the…
We address the intervention of classical-like behavior, well documented in experimental studies of strongly correlated electron systems of solids that emerges at temperatures $T$ far below the Debye temperature $T_D$. We attribute this…
The periodic Anderson model (PAM) captures the essential physics of heavy fermion materials. Yet even for the paramagnetic metallic phase, a practicable many-body theory that can simultaneously handle all energy scales while respecting the…
The interest in the study of spin-Peierls phenomenon has increased with the discovery of copper germanium oxide (CuGeO_3) as an example of spin-Peierls systems. The availability of this inorganic compound as large, high quality single…
The theoretical foundations of quantum mechanics and de Broglie-Bohm mechanics are analyzed and it is shown that both theories employ a formal approach to microphysics. By using a realistic approach it can be established that the internal…
Electrical energy is considered as a fundamental parameter for inclusion in Fermi gas theory, in addition to thermal energy. It is argued that electrical energy can move some electrons to above the Fermi Level, providing free charges to…
This paper explores a system of interacting `soft core' bosons in the Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field approximation in a random Bernoulli potential. First, a condition for delocalization of the ground state wave function is proved which depends…
Interesting phases of quantum matter often arise when the constituent particles -- electrons in solids -- interact strongly. Such strongly interacting systems are however quite rare and occur only in extreme environments of low spatial…
Starting with the results obtained in a previous paper in which classical local U(1) gauge invariance in terms of the electromagnetic field strenghts instead of the usual formulation mediated by the four potential was introduced it is shown…
We prove the existence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in suitably low-energy eigenstates of certain gapless and frustrated many-body quantum systems, namely symmetric quantum perturbations to classical models which exhibit spontaneous…
The frequency dependence of the interlayer conductivity of a layered Fermi liquid in a magnetic field which is tilted away from the normal to the layers is considered. For both quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional systems resonances occur…
Particles of low velocity, travelling without dissipation in a superfluid, can interact and emit sound when they collide. We propose a minimal model in which the equations of motion of the particles, including a short-range repulsive force,…
Consider a system governed by the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation in its ground state. When subjected to weak (size $\epsilon$) parametric forcing by an "ionizing field" (time-varying), the state decays with advancing time due to…
We study the phase-space behaviour of nearby trajectories in integrable potentials. We show that the separation of nearby orbits initially diverges very fast, mimicking a nearly exponential behaviour, while at late times it grows linearly.…
The physics of an electron solid, held on a cryogenic liquid surface by a pressing electric field, is examined in a low-density regime that has not been explored before. We consider the effect of the pressing field in distorting the surface…
The excited states of a charged particle interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field and an external potential all decay, but such a particle should have a true ground state--one that minimizes the energy and satisfies the…
