In previous work, we showed that in loop quantum cosmology of scalar-tensor theory (STT) with the holonomy correction the background equations of motion in the Jordan frame have two branches, i.e., the $b_{+}$ branch and the $b_{-}$ branch.…
The relativistic mean-field theory provides a framework in which the nuclear many-body problem is described as a self-consistent system of nucleons and mesons. In the mean-field approximation, the self-consistent time evolution of the…

Heisenberg's matrix formulation of quantum mechanics can be generalized to relativistic systems by evolving in light-front time tau = t+z/c. The spectrum and wavefunctions of bound states, such as hadrons in quantum chromodynamics, can be…
A description of a large system of particles is often sought in a derivation from the detailed behaviour of just a few of the particles. The present thesis deals with the connection between such microscopic features and the nature of a…
A new topological field theory is constructed, which is characterized by cubic interactions similar to those of non-abelian Chern-Simons field theories, but still retains the simplicity of the abelian case. The perturbative expansion of…

We have revealed three fatal errors incurred from a blind transferring of quantum field methods into the quantum mechanics. This had tragic consequences because it produced crippled model Hamiltonians, unfortunately considered sufficient…

One of the most well known relativistic field theory models is the Thirring model (TM). Its realization can demonstrate the famous prediction for the renormalization of mass due to interactions. However, experimental verification of the…
We discusse a relativistic Hamiltonian for an n-body problem in which all the masses are equal and all spins take value 1/2. In the frame of reference in which the total momentum $\v{P}=0$, the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is applies and…
Weakly interacting quantum fluids allow for a natural kinetic theory description which takes into account the fermionic or bosonic nature of the interacting particles. In the simplest cases, one arrives at the Boltzmann-Nordheim equations…
We present a simple discussion of the appearance of light-front partons in local field theory.The description in terms of partons provides a dimensional reduction which relates a 2+1 with a 3+1 dimensional theory for example. The…
The scattering equivalence of quantum field theories formulated with light-front and instant-form kinematic subgroups is established using non-perturbative methods. The difficulty with field theoretic formulations of Dirac's forms of…

We use the light-front machinery to study the behavior of a relativistic free particle and obtain the quantum commutation relations from the classical Poisson brackets. We argue that the usual projection onto the light-front coordinates for…
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) are simple statistical models defined on a bipartite graph which have been successfully used in studying more complicated many-body systems, both classical and quantum. In this work, we exploit the…
