Within the framework of algebraic quantum field theory, we construct explicitly localized morphisms of a Haag-Kastler net in 1+1-dimensional Minkowski space showing abelian braid group statistics. Moreover, we investigate the scattering…
Multi-particle scattering states are constructed for massive Wigner particles in the general operator-algebraic setting of wedge-local quantum field theory. The apparent geometrical restriction of the conventional wedge-local Haag-Ruelle…
It is shown that particles with braid group statistics (Plektons) in three-dimensional space-time cannot be free, in a quite elementary sense: They must exhibit elastic two-particle scattering into every solid angle, and at every energy.…
Within the framework of local quantum physics we construct a scattering theory of stable, massive particles without assuming mass gaps. This extension of the Haag-Ruelle theory is based on advances in the harmonic analysis of local…
We develop Haag-Ruelle scattering theory for Wigner particles in local relativistic Quantum Field Theory without assuming mass gaps or any other restrictions on the spectrum of the mass operator near the particle masses. Our approach is…
The density of states for a finite or an infinite cluster of scatterers in the case of both electrons and photons can be represented in a general form as the sum over all Krein-Friedel contributions of individual scatterers and a…
In this work, we discuss the scattering theory of local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric. Since the results of Haag--Ruelle theory do not carry over to the case of indefinite metric, we propose an axiomatic framework for…
Using the theory of fibre bundles, we provide several equivalent intrinsic descriptions for the Hilbert spaces of $n$ ``free'' nonrelativistic and relativistic plektons in two space dimensions. These spaces carry a ray representation of the…
We prove a scattering result near certain steady states for a Hartree equation for a random field. This equation describes the evolution of a system of infinitely many particles. It is an analogous formulation of the usual Hartree equation…
So far only quasifree fields have been shown to satisfy the Haag-Araki axioms for local algebras of observables; we show from a model in 1 + 1 dimensions that there can be representations in which two ingoing free particles produce a pair…
Equations of hypertree divisors on the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space of stable rational curves, introduced by Castravet and Tevelev, appear as numerators of scattering amplitude forms for n massless particles in N=4 Yang-Mills theory in…
Electrically as well as magnetically charged states are constructed in the 2+1-dimensional Euclidean Z_N-Higgs lattice gauge model, the former following ideas of Fredenhagen and Marcu and the latter using duality transformations on the…
We prove the spin-statistics theorem for massive particles obeying braid group statistics in three-dimensional Minkowski space. We start from first principles of local relativistic quantum theory. The only assumption is a gap in the mass…
A general problem of $2\rightarrow N_f$ scattering is addressed with all the states being wave packets with arbitrary phases. Depending on these phases, one deals with coherent states in $(3+1)$ D, vortex particles with orbital angular…
These lectures treat scattering theory from a non-perturbative point of view. The course begins with a review of formal aspects in scattering theory, discussing the in/out states and the $S$ matrix that connects them. Unitarity relations,…
We study the Quantum-Mechanics on the hyper-Kahler manifold that is the blow-up of an $A_1$-singularity. This system is relevant for M(atrix)-theory as it was conjectured to describe scattering in the "noncommutative" deformation of a free…
Due to spectral obstructions, a scattering theory in the Lax-Phillips sense for the wave equation for differential p-forms on H^{n+1} cannot be developed. As a consequence, Huygens' principle for the wave equation in this context does not…
A quantum scattering theory is developed for Fock states scattered by two-level systems in the free space. Compared to existing scattering theories that treat incident light semi-classically, the theory fully quantizes the incident light as…
Multiple scattering theory is applied to the study of clusters of point-like scatterers attached to a thin elastic plate and arranged in quasi-periodic distributions. Two type of structures are specifically considered: the twisted bilayer…
We study scattering theory for a quantum-mechanical system consisting of a particle scattered off a dynamical target that occupies a compact region in position space. After taking a trace over the degrees of freedom of the target, the…
