The elementary quadratic plus inverse sextic interaction containing a strongly singular repulsive core in the origin is made regular by a complex shift of coordinate $x = s-{\rm i}\varepsilon$. The shift $\varepsilon>0$ is fixed while the…
Connections between weak gravity conjecture (WGC) bounds and scattering positivity have been extensively studied over the past decade. This work further explores these connections by proposing positivity as a potential amplitude criterion…
In a recent paper new upper and lower limits were given, in the context of the Schr\"{o}dinger or Klein-Gordon equations, for the number $N_{0}$ of S-wave bound states possessed by a monotonically nondecreasing central potential vanishing…
We report a numerical investigation of two colloids immersed in a critical solvent, with the aim of quantifying the effective colloid-colloid interaction potential. By turning on an attraction between the colloid and the solvent particles…
One-dimensional scattering by a Coulomb potential V(x)=lambda/|x| is studied for both repulsive (c>0) and attractive (c<0) cases. Two methods of regularizing the singularity at x=0 are used, yielding the same conclusion, namely, that the…
We propose a method for setting limits that avoids excluding parameter values for which the sensitivity falls below a specified threshold. These "power-constrained" limits (PCL) address the issue that motivated the widely used CLs…
We study analytically the radial Schr\"odinger equation with long-range attractive potentials whose asymptotic behaviors are dominated by inverse power-law tails of the form $V(r)=-\beta_n r^{-n}$ with $n>2$. In particular, assuming that…
For finite interacting particle systems with strong repulsing-attracting or general interactions, we prove global weak well-posedness almost up to the critical threshold of the strengths of attracting interactions (independent of the number…
For the class of central potentials possessing a finite number of bound states and for which the second derivative of $r V(r)$ is negative, we prove, using the supersymmetric quantum mechanics formalism, that an increase of the angular…
In this paper, we first establish a criterion based on contractive function for the existence of polynomial attractors. This criterion only involves some rather weak compactness associated with the repeated limit inferior and requires no…
We investigate the initial value problem for some energy supercritical semilinear wave equations. We establish local existence in suitable spaces with continuous flow. We also obtain some ill-posedness/weak ill-posedness results. The proof…
These lecture notes focus on the bound state sector of QCD. Motivated by data which suggests that the strong coupling \alpha_s(Q) freezes at low Q, and by similarities between the spectra of hadrons and atoms, I discuss if and how QCD bound…
We calculate the minimum magnitude an electric dipole must have for a 1D system, interacting through the dipole, to support bound states.
From a stability perspective, a renewable generation (RG)-rich power system is a constrained system. As the quasistability boundary of a constrained system is structurally very different from that of an unconstrained system, finding the…
A new approximation formalism is applied to study the bound states of the Hellmann potential, which represents the superposition of the attractive Coulomb potential $-a/r$ and the Yukawa potential $b\exp (-\delta r)/r$ of arbitrary strength…
It is shown that for the Calogero-Cohn type upper bounds on the number of bound states of a negative spherically symmetric potential $V(r)$, in each angular momentum state, that is, bounds containing only the integral $\int^\infty_0…
We consider exterior elliptic problems with coefficients stabilizing at infinity and study the critical value $\beta_{cr}$ of the coupling constant (the coefficient at the potential) that separates operators with a discrete spectrum and…
Several properties of bound states in potential $ V(x)= g^2\exp (|x|)$ are studied. Firstly, with the emphasis on the reliability of our arbitrary-precision construction, wave functions are considered in the two alternative (viz.,…
An alternative approximation scheme has been used in solving the Schrodinger equation to the more general case of exponential screened Coulomb potential, V(r)=-(a/r)\[1+(1+br)e^{-2br}]. The bound state energies of the 1s, $2s, and…
We derive the first positivity bounds for low-energy Effective Field Theories (EFTs) that are not invariant under Lorentz boosts. "Positivity bounds" are the low-energy manifestation of certain fundamental properties in the UV -- to date…
