Point splitting has been suggested as a way to deal with anomalous commutators in quantum field theory. It has been pointed out by D.G. Boulware[4] that in order to obtain a mathematically consistent theory the Hamiltonian operator must be…
In the recent paper `Well-posedness and regularity for a generalized fractional Cahn-Hilliard system' (Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 30 (2019), 437-478 -- see also arXiv:1804.11290), the same authors have studied viscous…
We consider the index problem for a wide class of nonlocal elliptic operators on a smooth closed manifold, namely differential operators with shifts induced by the action of an isometric diffeomorphism. The key to the solution is the method…
All elementary particles in nature can be classified as fermions with half-integer spin and bosons with integer spin. Within quantum electrodynamics (QED), even though the spin of the Dirac particle is well defined, there exist open…
We study the decay properties of Wigner kernels for Fourier integral operators of types I and II. The symbol spaces that allow a nice decay of these kernels are the Shubin classes $\Gamma^m(\mathbb{R^{2d}})$, with negative order $m$. The…
A non-Hermitian operator that is related to its adjoint through a similarity transformation is defined as a pseudo-Hermitian operator. We study the level-statistics of a pseudo-Hermitian Dicke Hamiltonian that undergoes Quantum Phase…
We obtain asymptotic formulas for the spectral data of perturbed Stark operators associated with the differential expression \[ -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + x + q(x), \quad x\in [0,\infty), \quad q\in L^1(0,\infty), \] and having either Dirichlet or…
The integral of the Wigner function of a quantum mechanical system over a region or its boundary in the classical phase plane, is called a quasiprobability integral. Unlike a true probability integral, its value may lie outside the interval…
Since the seminal work of Kenig and Pipher, the Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher (DKP) condition on oscillations of the coefficient matrix became a standard threshold in the study of absolute continuity of the harmonic measure with respect to the…
The paper presents a model-independent, nonperturbative proof of operator product expansions in quantum field theory. As an input, a recently proposed phase space condition is used that allows a precise description of point field…
We consider several differential operators on compact almost-complex, almost-Hermitian and almost-K\"ahler manifolds. We discuss Hodge Theory for these operators and a possible cohomological interpretation. We compare the associated spaces…
A $(K+1)-$plet of non-Hermitian and time-dependent operators (say, $\Lambda_j(t)$, $j=0,1,\ldots,K$) can be interpreted as the set of observables characterizing a unitary quantum system. What is required is the existence of a self-adjoint…
The physical phase space of gauge field theories on a cylindrical spacetime with an arbitrary compact simple gauge group is shown to be the quotient $ {\bf R}^{2r}/W_A, $ $ r $ a rank of the gauge group, $ W_A $ the affine Weyl group. The…
The general Weyl -- Wigner formalism in finite dimensional phase spaces is investigated. Then this formalism is specified to the case of symmetric ordering of operators in an odd -- dimensional Hilbert space. A respective Wigner function on…
We review some quantum-phase descriptions of optical fields. We focus on real fields that can be generated in practice in various nonlinear optical processes. Thus, we rather avoid discussions of phase formalisms as such and try to exploit…
As basic quantum mechanical models, anharmonic oscillators are recently revisited by bootstrap methods. An effective approach is to make use of the positivity constraints in Hermitian theories. There exists an alternative avenue based on…
The relation $Tr \gamma_{5}= 0$ implies the contribution to the trace from unphysical (would-be) species doublers in lattice gauge theory. This statement is also true for the Pauli-Villars regularization in continuum theory. If one insists…
The fermionic signature operator is constructed in Rindler space-time. It is shown to be an unbounded self-adjoint operator on the Hilbert space of solutions of the massive Dirac equation. In two-dimensional Rindler space-time, we prove…
We perform a general analysis of the R-parity conserving dimension-five operators that can be present beyond the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Not all these operators are actually independent. We present a method which employs…
A self-adjoint operator $A$ in a Krein space $\bigl({\mathcal K},[\,\cdot\,,\cdot\,]\bigr)$ is called partially fundamentally reducible if there exist a fundamental decomposition ${\mathcal K} = {\mathcal K}_+ [\dot{+}] {\mathcal K}_-$…
