Greiter claimed erroneously that the pi-excitation of the Hubbard model has an energy of the order of U. This mistake originates from a inconsistent treatment of the two particle Hartree energy and the Hartee correction to the chemical…
It is argued that there is no low-energy resonance associated with the pi-operators introduced by Demler and Zhang. This implies that the Hubbard model does not possess an approximate SO(5) symmetry generated by these operators. Recent…
Electromagnetic corrections to the low-energy pi+ pi- -> pi0 pi0 scattering amplitude at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion are reviewed. Their effects on the corresponding scattering lengths are estimated and compared to the…
A number of authors have recently pointed out inconsistencies of results obtained with the Huang-Yang multipolar pseudo-potential for low-energy scattering [K. Huang and K. C. Yang, Phys. Rev. A, v 105, 767 (1957); later revised in K.…
We consider the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude obtained by Colangelo, Gasser and Leutwyler (CGL), using dispersion relations and chiral perturbation theory to two loops. We point out that the input used by CGL for energies above 1.42 GeV is…
This article completes a former work where part of the O(p^6) low-energy constants entering in the pi pi scattering were estimated. Some resonance contributions were missed in former calculations and slight differences appeared with respect…
We discuss the interplay of particle-particle and particle-hole spin-triplet channels in high-T_c superconductors using a quasiparticle dispersion motivated by angle-resolved photoemission. Within a generalized RPA, we find a well defined…
We have optimized the exponents of Gaussian s and p basis functions for the elements H, B-F, and Al-Cl using the pseudopotentials of Goedecker, Teter, and Hutter [Phys. Rev. B 54, 1703 (1996)] by minimizing the total energy of dimers. We…
Lattice QCD studies of hadron-hadron interactions are performed by computing the energy levels of the system in a finite box. The shifts in energy levels proportional to inverse powers of the volume are related to scattering parameters in a…
This is a comment on a paper by Glendenning, Pei, and Weber (Phys. Rev. Lett., 79, 1603, 1997), where the authors gave an incorrect estimate of the event rate and neglected the important gravitational energy release. Previous work on the…

We report the implementation of effective QED potentials for all-electron 4-component relativistic molecular calculations using the DIRAC code. The potentials are also available for 2-component calculations, proper picture-change being…
We point out that several terms in the third-order corrections to the slow-roll power spectra presented by Ballardini et al. [1] are incorrect. The authors of that work claim that their result differ from the ones originally presented by…
Analytical results for the dielectric function in RPA are derived for three-, two-, and one-dimensional semiconductors in the weakly-degenerate limit. Based on this limit, quantum corrections are derived. Further attention is devoted to…
A mathematical framework is constructed for the sum of the lowest N eigenvalues of a potential. Exactness is illustrated on several model systems (harmonic oscillator, particle in a box, and Poschl-Teller well). Its order-by-order…
In this article, we study the Coulomb corrections to the Delbrueck scattering amplitude. We consider the limit when the energy of the photon is much less than the electron mass. The calculations are carried out in the coordinate…
The energy and decay width of the pi-K atom are evaluated in the framework of the quasipotential-constraint theory approach. The main electromagnetic and isospin symmetry breaking corrections to the lowest-order formulas for the energy…
Excited hadrons are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain…
We argue that the results presented by M. Semeraro et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 158302 (2023)] for the work fluctuations of an active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle trapped in a harmonic potential are incomplete and partly inexact due to the…
The pion optical potential generated by the hypothetical pi-NN-coupled NN-decoupled dibaryon resonance d'(2065) is calculated to the lowest order in nuclear matter density. The contribution to the pion optical potential is found to be…
