We conjecture the factorized scattering description for OSP(m/2n)/OSP(m-1/2n) supersphere sigma models and OSP(m/2n) Gross Neveu models. The non-unitarity of these field theories translates into a lack of `physical unitarity' of the S…
Let $\sg$ be a complex finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and let $\sg_l$ be the corresponding generalized Takiff algebra. This paper studies the affine variety $\ssf+\sb_l$ where $\ssf$ is similar to a principal nilpotent element of…
We develop a scattering-matrix formalism to numerically study the resonant scattering of light on generic assemblies of atoms. Protocols to eliminate the artifacts of the method and extract physical information from the numerical data are…
We study kinematic algebras associated to the recently proposed scattering equations, which arise in the description of the scattering of massless particles. In particular, we describe the role that these algebras play in the BCJ duality…
We study an iso-spectral deformation of general matrix which is a natural generalization of the Toda lattice equation. We prove the integrability of the deformation, and give an explicit formula for the solution to the initial value…
In integrable field theories the S-matrix is usually a product of a relatively simple matrix and a complicated scalar factor. We make an observation that in many relativistic integrable field theories the scalar factor can be expressed as a…
We present an in-depth study of the universal correlations of scattering-matrix entries required in the framework of non-stationary many-body scattering where the incoming states are localized wavepackets. Contrary to the stationary case…
A set of coupled non-linear integral equations is derived for a class of models connected with the quantum group $U_q(\hat g)$ ($g$ simply laced Lie algebra), which are solvable using the Bethe Ansatz; these equations describe arbitrary…
The search for a theory of the S-Matrix has revealed surprising geometric structures underlying amplitudes ranging from the worldsheet to the amplituhedron, but these are all geometries in auxiliary spaces as opposed to kinematic space…
We construct a relativistic scattering theory based on a q deformation and large string tension limit of the magnon S-matrix of the string world sheet theory in AdS_5 x S^5. The S-matrix falls naturally into a previously studied class…
Motivated by recently developed techniques making it possible to compute Casimir energies for any object whose scattering S-matrix (or, equivalently, T-matrix) is available, we develop a variable phase method to compute the S-matrix for…
Quantum graphs can be extended to scattering systems when they are connected by leads to infinity. It is shown that for certain extensions, the scattering matrices of isospectral graphs are conjugate to each other and their poles…
It is shown that the scattering S-matrix is unitary even if the scattering potential U(x) tends to different limits at plus and minus infinity. This result is in contrast to the statements of some authors which argue that the different…
S-matrix bootstrap and positivity bounds are usually viewed as constraints on low-energy theories imposed by the requirement of a standard UV completion. By considering graviton--photon scattering in the Standard Model, we argue that the…
We show that a saturable single-frequency elastic T-matrix approach to scattering of light by atoms agrees remarkably well with a master equation description in the regime of unsaturated atoms, or for large separation between the atoms. If…
Soliton time-delays and the semiclassical limit for soliton S-matrices are calculated for non-simply laced Affine Toda Field Theories. The phase shift is written as a sum over bilinears on the soliton conserved charges. The results apply to…
Boundary conditions in quantum graph vertices are generally given in terms of a unitary matrix $U$. Observing that if $U$ has at most two eigenvalues, then the scattering matrix $\mathcal{S}(k)$ of the vertex is a linear combination of the…
We propose a formula relating scattering S-matrix amplitudes to correlators of a conformal field theory. The proposal implements a flat limit of the field theory, providing an indirect microscopic description of gravitational theories with…
Structural coloration by Rayleigh scattering is widespread in nature and holds a prominent place in various art objects over a broad period of time. Beyond the common statement that Rayleigh scattering is the primary mechanism behind the…
Scattering is an important phenomenon which is observed in systems ranging from the micro- to macroscale. In the context of nuclear reaction theory the Heidelberg approach was proposed and later demonstrated to be applicable to many chaotic…
