We give a pedagogical review of the properties of the various meson condensation phases triggered by a large isospin or strangeness imbalance. We argue that these phases are extremely interesting and powerful playground for exploring the…
In this paper, we propose to study spectral measures on local fields. Some basic results are presented, including the stability of Bessel sequences under perturbation, the Landau theorem on Beurling density, the law of pure type of spectral…
We conjecture that in the chiral limit of QCD the spectrum of hadrons is comprised of decoupled, reducible chiral multiplets. A simple rule is developed which identifies the chiral representations filled out by the ground-state hadrons. Our…
A linear scattering problem for which incoming and outgoing waves are restricted to a finite number of radiation channels can be precisely described by a frequency-dependent scattering matrix. The entries of the scattering matrix, as…
The discovery of the Higgs together with the excellent performance of the LHC allow to make precision tests of Brout-Englert-Higgs Physics, and especially its underlying field-theory. In this field theory strict gauge-invariance requires…
Spectral functions are important quantities that contain a wealth of information about the quasiparticles of a system, and that can also be measured experimentally. For systems with electron-phonon coupling, good approximations for the…
We do meson spectroscopy by studying the behavior of S-matrix poles in the complex-energy plane, as a function of the coupling strength for triplet-P-zero quark-pair creation. Thereto, a general formula for non-exotic hadron-hadron…
Fluctuations of conserved charges allow to study the chemical composition of hadronic matter. A comparison between lattice simulations and the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model suggested the existence of missing strange resonances. To…
We review our recent results on the on-shell description of sine-Gordon model with integrable boundary conditions. We determined the spectrum of boundary states by closing the boundary bootstrap and gave a derivation of Al.B.…
A system of linear homogeneous algebraic equations for coupling constant ratios of vector-mesons to hadrons is derived by imposing an asymptotic behaviuor upon the VMD pole parametrization of an hadron electromagnetic form factor. A similar…
We construct effective Hamiltonians which despite their apparently nonrelativistic form incorporate relativistic effects by involving parameters which depend on the relevant momentum. For some potentials the corresponding energy eigenvalues…
We report here our results on how to obtain the Regge trajectory of a resonance from its pole in a scattering process by imposing analytic constraints in the complex angular momentum plane. The method, suited for resonances that dominate an…
A heavy Higgs resonance is described in a representation-independent way which is valid for the whole energy range of 2 -> 2 scattering processes, including the asymptotic behavior at low and high energies. The low-energy theorems which…
The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $\sigma$, $\omega$ and $\rho$ mesons, is extended to investigate the change of hadron properties in…
The set of real finite-gap Sine-Gordon solutions corresponding to a fixed spectral curve consists of several connected components. A simple explicit description of these components obtained by the authors recently is used to study the…
We briefly review a variety of theoretical and phenomenological indications for the probable importance of powerful diquark correlations in hadronic physics. We demonstrate that the bulk of light hadron spectroscopy can be organized using…
We study a bosonic string with one end free and the other confined to a D-brane. Only the odd oscillator modes are allowed, which leads to a Virasoro algebra of even Virasoro modes only. The theory is quantized in a gauge where world-sheet…
We show that the current quark mass should vanish to be consistent with the QCD color confinement: a bag model leads us to Heun's equation, which requests that not only the energy but also the string tension should be quantized. This is due…
We study the decay of hadrons based on a semiclassical string model. By including quark mass effects we find that the width to mass ratio $\G/m$ is an increasing function of $m$, which increases most rapidly for massive quarks. This is…
Finding reliably and efficiently the spectrum of the resonant states of an optical system under varying parameters of the medium surrounding it is a technologically important task, primarily due to various sensing applications.…
