According to special relativity and the equivalence principle, the Newtonian gravitational force between two particles with relativistic velocities increases significantly with velocity and in fact becomes unbound as the latter approaches…
We describe a substructure for matter in which metric relations are not assumed as properties of a physical manifold, and instead the metric of general relativity is found in configurations of particle interactions. The 'state' of a…
The projection of the four-dimensional two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation at the light-front hypersurface is discussed. Elimination of the relative time is performed using a quasi-potential expansion, which is shown to be equivalent to an…
The multiple point principle, according to which several vacuum states with the same energy density exist, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism predicting the exponentially huge ratio between the fundamental and weak scales in the…
The theory of regular model sets is highly developed, but does not cover examples such as the visible lattice points, the k-th power-free integers, or related systems. They belong to the class of weak model sets, where the window may have a…
Electromagnetic and Lorentz-scalar form factors are calculated for a bound system of two spin-less particles exchanging a zero-mass scalar particle. Different approaches are considered including solutions of a Bethe-Salpeter equation, a…
We present a renormalizable model of electroweak interactions containing an extra $SU(2)'_L\otimes SU(2)'_R$ symmetry. The masses of the corresponding gauge bosons and of the associated Higgs particles can be made heavy by tuning a…
A generalization of the eight vertex model by means of higher spin representations of the Sklyanin algebra is investigated by the quantum inverse scattering method and the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. Under the well-known string hypothesis…
Non-perturbative constraints on many body physics--such as the famous Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem--are valuable tools for studying strongly correlated systems. To this end, we present a number of non-perturbative results that constrain the…
We consider discrete spectra of bound states for non-relativistic motion in attractive potentials V_{\sigma}(x) = -|V_{0}| |x|^{-\sigma}, 0 < \sigma \leq 2. For these potentials the quasiclassical approximation for n -> \infty predicts…
Given a stationary state for a noncommutative flow, we study a boundedness condition, depending on a positive parameter beta, which is weaker than the KMS equilibrium condition at inverse temperature beta. This condition is equivalent to a…
The normalization condition for the relativistic three nucleon Bethe-Salpeter and Gross bound state vertex functions is derived, for the first time, directly from the three body wave equations. It is also shown that the relativistic…
The basic feature of the BCS theory is that pairing occurs between electrons in states with opposite momentum and opposite spins, e.g., between states (k) and (-k), in which the symbols of vectors are neglected, and later theories followed…
A wide class of problems in combinatorics, computer science and physics can be described along the following lines. There are a large number of variables ranging over a finite domain that interact through constraints that each bind a few…
Models of quantum and classical particles on the d-dimensional cubic lattice with pair interparticle interactions are considered. The classical model is obtained from the corresponding quantum one when the reduced physical mass of the…
Some popular mechanisms for restricting the diffusion of waves include introducing disorder (to provoke Anderson localization) and engineering topologically non-trivial phases (to allow for topological edge states to form). However, other…
We revisit the old problem of exotic superconductivity as Cooper pairing with finite angular momentum emerging from a central potential. Based on some general considerations, we suggest that the phenomenonn is associated with interactions…
Several numerical investigations of the Salpeter equation with static confining interactions of Lorentz-scalar type revealed that its solutions are plagued by instabilities of presumably Klein-paradox nature. By proving rigorously that the…
A popular three-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states in quantum field theory is the Salpeter equation, derived by assuming both instantaneous interactions and free propagation of all…
A conserving T-matrix approximation is applied to the two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model in the low-density regime. A set of self-consistent equations is solved in the real-frequency domain to avoid the analytic continuation…
