The difficulties of perturbation theory associated with unstable fundamental fields (such as the lack of exact gauge invariance in each order) are cured if one constructs perturbative expansion directly for probabilities interpreted as…
We explore the possibility of calculating electronic excited states by using perturbation theory along a range-separated adiabatic connection. Starting from the energies of a partially interacting Hamiltonian, a first-order correction is…
The conventional weak-coupling expansion for the pressure of a hot plasma shows no sign of convergence unless the the coupling constant $g$ is tiny. In this talk, I discuss screened perturbation theory (SPT) which is a reorganization of the…

In string theory the coupling ``constants'' appearing in the low-energy effective Lagrangian are determined by the vacuum expectation values of some (a priori) massless scalar fields (dilaton, moduli). This naturally leads one to expect a…

A strong coupling expansion, based on the Kato-Bloch perturbation theory, which has recently been proposed by Eckardt et al. [Phys. Rev. B 79, 195131] and Teichmann et al. [Phys. Rev. B 79, 224515] is implemented in order to study various…
We present a novel form of relativistic quantum mechanics and demonstrate how to solve it using a recently derived unitary perturbation theory, within partial wave analysis. The theory is tested on a relativistic problem, with two spinless,…
We derive a recursion relation in the framework of Lagrangian perturbation theory, appropriate for studying the inhomogeneities of the large scale structure of the universe. We use the fact that the perturbative expansion of the matter…
In this paper, we explain how perturbative quantum field theory can be formulated in terms of (a version of) vertex algebras. Our starting point is the Wilson-Zimmermann operator product expansion (OPE). Following ideas of a previous paper…
Gauge-invariant perturbation theory for theories with a Brout-Englert-Higgs effect, as developed by Fr\"ohlich, Morchio and Strocchi, starts out from physical, exactly gauge-invariant quantities as initial and final states. These are…
The idea of adaptive perturbation theory is to divide a Hamiltonian into a solvable part and a perturbation part. The solvable part contains the non-interacting sector and the diagonal elements of Fock space from the interacting terms. The…
