In this work we study the Wigner functions, which are the quantum analogues of the classical phase space density, and show how a full rigorous semiclassical scheme for all orders of \hbar can be constructed for them without referring to the…
Given a spatially dependent mass distribution we obtain potential functions for exactly solvable nonrelativistic problems. The energy spectrum of the bound states and their wavefunctions are written down explicitly. This is accomplished by…
An appropriate rational approximation to the eigenfunction of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for anharmonic oscillators enables one to obtain the eigenvalue accurately as the limit of a sequence of roots of Hankel determinants. The…
We study the renormalisation of the non-Hermitian $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric scalar field theory with the interaction $\phi^2(i\phi)^\varepsilon$ using the Wilsonian approach and without any expansion in $\varepsilon$. Specifically,…
False vacuum decay in field theory may be formulated as a boundary value problem in Euclidean space. In a previous work, we studied its solution in single scalar field theories with quadratic gravity and used it to find obstructions to…
Let E = F(v) be the ground-state eigenvalue of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian H = -Delta + vf(x), where the potential shape f(x) is symmetric and monotone increasing for x > 0, and the coupling parameter v is positive. If the 'kinetic…
The work is devoted to the construction of a new type of intervals -- functional intervals. These intervals are built on the idea of expanding boundaries from numbers to functions. Functional intervals have shown themselves to be promising…
We consider the discrete spectrum of the two-dimensional Hamiltonian $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0$ is a Schr\"odinger operator with a non-constant magnetic field $B$ that depends only on one of the spatial variables, and $V$ is an electric…
The scheme of using the Chern-Simons action to regularize the gravitational Hamiltonian constraint is extended to including the Lorentzian term in the $k=0$ cosmological model. The Euclidean term and the Lorenzian term are thus regularized…
A new perspective on the classical mechanical formulation of particle trajectories in lorentz-violating theories is presented. Using the extended hamiltonian formalism, a Legendre Transformation between the associated covariant Lagrangian…

The spatial gradient expansion of the generating functional was recently developed by Parry, Salopek, and Stewart to solve the Hamiltonian constraint in Einstein-Hamilton-Jacobi theory for gravitationally interacting dust and scalar fields.…
We introduce a modification in the relativistic hamiltonian in such a way that (1) the relativistic Schr\"odinger equations can always be based on an underlying L\'evy process, (2) several families of particles with different rest masses…
Finding the eigenvalues of a Sturm-Liouville problem can be a computationally challenging task, especially when a large set of eigenvalues is computed, or just when particularly large eigenvalues are sought. This is a consequence of the…
We develop the principle of nongravitating vacuum energy, which is implemented by changing the measure of integration from $\sqrt{-g}d^{D}x$ to an integration in an internal space of $D$ scalar fields $\phi_{a}$. As a consequence of such a…
A novel method for finding the eigenvalues of a Sturm-Liouville problem is developed. Following the minimalist approach the problem is transformed to a single first-order differential equation with appropriate boundary conditions. Although…
The Sutherland approximation to the van der Waals forces is applied to the derivation of a self-consistent Vlasov-type field in a liquid filling a half space, bordering vacuum. The ensuing Vlasov equation is then derived, and solved to…
It has been shown that an improved estimation of quantum vacuum energy can yield not only acceptable but also experimentally sensible results. The very idea consists in a straightforward extraction of gravitationally interacting part of the…
We propose the notion of $E_{2}$-quasi-exact solvability and apply this idea to find explicit solutions to the eigenvalue problem for a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian system depending on two parameters. The model considered reduces to the…
In the theory of approximation there are some problems on approximation of compacts in functional spaces by nonlinear families : first we deal with the polynomial case, and then we consider the analytic case. We demonstrate a negative…
