Integrable quantum mechanical systems with magnetic fields are constructed in two-dimensional Euclidean space. The integral of motion is assumed to be a first or second order Hermitian operator. Contrary to the case of purely scalar…

We describe in detail a physical situation in which instantons are necessarily complex, not just Wick rotations of classical solutions to Euclidean spacetime. These complex instantons arise in the semiclassical evaluation of vacuum pair…

In this study the general formula for differential and integral operations of fractional calculus via fractal operators by the method of cumulative diminution and cumulative growth is obtained. The under lying mechanism in the success of…

We present an approach to the canonical quantization of systems with equations of motion that are historically called non-Lagrangian equations. Our viewpoint of this problem is the following: despite the fact that a set of differential…

In modern quantum field theory, one of the most important tasks is the calculation of loop integrals. Loop integrals appear when evaluating the Feynman diagrams with one or more loops by integrating over the internal momenta. Even though…

It is shown that the difficulties in formulating the quantum field theory on discrete spacetime appear already in classical dynamics of one degree of freedom on discrete time. The difference equation of motion which maintains a conserved…

It is still a debated issue whether all critical active particles belong to the same universality class. Here we numerically study the critical behavior of quorum sensing active particles that represents the archetypal model for…

In many situations, one can approximate the behavior of a quantum system, i.e. a wave function subject to a partial differential equation, by effective classical equations which are ordinary differential equations. A general method and…

In the context of the correspondence between real functions on the unit circle and inner analytic functions within the open unit disk, that was presented in previous papers, we show that the constructions used to establish that…

We consider the quantum mechanics of Einstein gravity linearised about flat spacetime. The two transverse-traceless components of the metric perturbation are the true physical degrees of freedom. They appear in the quantum theory as free…

We point out that the scenario for UV completion by "classicalization", proposed recently is in fact Wilsonian in the classical Wilsonian sense. It corresponds to the situation when a field theory has a nontrivial UV fixed point governed by…

An expansion in the number of spatial covariant derivatives is carried out to compute the $\zeta$-function regularized effective action of 2+1-dimensional fermions at finite temperature in an arbitrary non-Abelian background. The real and…

It is well known that there is an integral theorem for quaternion-valued functions analogous to Cauchys Theorem for complex-valued functions, namely Fueters Theorem. The class of quaternionic functions for which this applies are generally…

We discuss problems of functional integral formalisms in a constrained fermionic Fock space. A functional integral is set up for the Hubbard model using generalized coherent states which lie either in the constrained or in the full Fock…

We define formal geometric quantisation for proper Hamiltonian actions by possibly noncompact groups on possibly noncompact, prequantised symplectic manifolds, generalising work of Weitsman and Paradan. We study the functorial properties of…

Following Dirac, the rules of canonical quantization include classical and quantum contact transformations of classical and quantum phase space variables. While arbitrary classical canonical coordinate transformations exist that is not the…

The paper "Is Complexity an Illusion?" (Bennett, 2024) provides a formalism for complexity, learning, inference, and generalization, and introduces a formal definition for a "policy". This reply shows that correct policies do not exist for…

Any particular classical system and its quantum version are normally viewed as separate formulations that are strictly distinct. Our goal is to overcome the two separate languages and create a smooth and common procedure that provides a…

Quantum complexity measures the difficulty of obtaining a given state starting from a typically unentangled state. In this work, we show that complexity, when defined through the minimization of a Riemannian cost functional over the…
