This is the first of two papers in which we construct formal power series solutions in external parameters to the vacuum Einstein equations, implementing one bounce for the Belinskii-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz (BKL) proposal for spatially…
We pose and solve an inverse problem for the classical field equations that arise in the Standard Model of particle physics. Our main result describes natural conditions on the representations, so that it is possible to recover all the…
We present a semiclassical treatment of one-dimensional many-body quantum systems in equilibrium, where quantum corrections to the classical field approximation are systematically included by a renormalization of the classical field…
In this paper, we solve the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation, used to model the electric potential of macromolecules in a solvent. We derive a corrected trapezoidal rule with improved accuracy for a boundary integral formulation of the…
We compute second-order quantum corrections, as quantum dispersions and correlations, to a cosmological model coupling a single scalar perturbation mode to a bouncing background within Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC). Using an effective…
Four-dimensional quantum field theories generally require regularization to be well defined. This can be done in various ways, but here we focus on Pauli--Villars (PV) regularization and apply it to nonperturbative calculations of bound…
Relativistic equations of Bethe-Salpeter type for hadron structure are most conveniently formulated in momentum space. The presence of confining interactions causes complications because the corresponding kernels are singular. This occurs…
Real-time perturbation theory is formulated for complex scalar fields away from thermal equilibrium in such a way that dissipative effects arising from the absorptive parts of loop diagrams are approximately resummed into the unperturbed…
In a Quantum Field Theory with a time-dependent background, time-translational symmetry is broken. We therefore expect time-dependent loop corrections to cosmological observables after renormalization for an interacting field, with the…
We discuss non perturbative corrections to the Coulomb-like potential of heavy quarks at short distances. We consider both the standard framework provided by infrared renormalons and the assumption that confinement does not allow weak…
We observe that the Connes--Kreimer Hopf-algebraic approach to perturbative renormalisation works not just for Hopf algebras but more generally for filtered bialgebras $B$ with the property that $B_0$ is spanned by group-like elements (e.g.…
In a nonlinear theory, such as General Relativity, linearized field equations around an exact solution are necessary but not sufficient conditions for linearized solutions. Therefore, the linearized field equations can have some solutions…
In this article an energy correction is calculated in the time independent perturbation setup using a regularised ultraviolet finite Hamiltonian on the noncommutative Minkowski space. The correction to the energy is invariant under rotation…
The path integral formalism is the building block of many powerful numerical methods for quantum impurity problems. However, existing fermionic path integral based numerical calculations have only been performed in either the imaginary-time…
The system of two relativistic particles with einbein fields is quantized as a constrained system.A method of the introduction of the Newton--Wigner collective coordinate is discussed in presence of different gauge fixing conditions. Some…
We reconsider perturbative unitarity in quantum field theory and upgrade several arguments and results. The minimum assumptions that lead to the largest time equation, the cutting equations and the unitarity equation are identified. Using…
Nonperturbative approximation schemes are inevitable even in weakly coupled theories if the nonequilibrium behavior of quantum fields is investigated. The two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action formalism provides an efficient…
A new two-step renormalization procedure is proposed. In the first step, the effects of high-energy states are considered in the conventional (Feynman) perturbation theory. In the second step, the coupling to many-body states is eliminated…
We prove that solutions to the Boltzmann equation without cut-off satisfying pointwise bounds on some observables (mass, pressure, and suitable moments) enjoy a uniform bound in $L^\infty$ in the case of hard potentials. As a consequence,…
We briefly review general concepts of renormalization in quantum field theory and discuss their application to solutions of integral equations with singular potentials in the few-nucleon sector of the low-energy effective field theory of…
