A class of Schr\"odinger-type second-order linear differential equations with a large parameter $u$ is considered. Analytic solutions of this type of equations can be described via (divergent) formal series in descending powers of $u$.…
Harrell's modified perturbation theory [Ann. Phys. 105, 379-406 (1977)] is applied and extended to obtain non-power perturbation expansions for a class of singular Hamiltonians H = -D^2 + x^2 + A/x^2 + lambda/x^alpha, (A\geq 0, alpha > 2),…
We analyze the response of a complex quantum-mechanical system (e. g., a quantum dot) to a time-dependent perturbation. Assuming the dot energy spectrum and the perturbation to be described by the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble of random…
We define and study expansion problems on countable structures in the setting of descriptive combinatorics. We consider both expansions on countable Borel equivalence relations and on countable groups, in the Borel, measure and category…
Morse oscillator is one of the known solvable potentials which attracts many applications in quantum mechanics especially in quantum chemistry. One of the interesting results of this study is the generation of ladder operators for Morse…
We study differential operators associated with families of polynomials orthonormal with respect to certain measures. These operators, when applied to the Fourier transforms of such measures, produce basis functions for expansions of…
In the q-deformed theory the perturbation approach can be expressed in terms of two pairs of undeformed position and momentum operators. There are two configuration spaces. Correspondingly there are two q-perturbation Hamiltonians, one…
We investigate a model system consisting of a Morse oscillator strongly coupled to a doubly-degenerate bending degree of freedom and show that Canonical Perturbation Theory is able to provide a fairly precise, though not exact,…
We find the high energy asymptotics for the singular Weyl--Titchmarsh m-functions and the associated spectral measures of perturbed spherical Schr\"odinger operators (also known as Bessel operators). We apply this result to establish an…
A large class of quantum field theories on 1+1 dimensional Minkowski space, namely, certain integrable models, has recently been constructed rigorously by Lechner. However, the construction is very abstract and the concrete form of local…
This work establishes a connection between canonical perturbation series in quantum mechanics and a Kato expansion for the resolvent of the Liouville superoperator. Our approach leads to an explicit expression for a generator of a…
We analyze the heavy quark bound state spectrum using an order-dependent conformal mapping to re-sum the perturbative expansion for current correlators. The procedure consists of two main steps. Firstly, the Borel plane structure of the…
The explicit semiclassical treatment of the logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem for the spherical anharmonic oscillator is developed. Based upon the $\hbar$-expansions and suitable quantization conditions a new…
The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) perturbative series, a widely used technique for solving linear waves, is typically divergent and at best, asymptotic, thus impeding predictions beyond the first few leading-order effects. Here, we report…
We develop an alternative approach to time independent perturbation theory in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The method developed has the advantage to provide in one operation the correction to the energy and to the wave function,…
By means of the operator extension theory, we construct an explicitly solvable model of a simple-cubic three-dimensional regimented array of quantum dots in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The spectral properties of the model are…
We give an explicit demonstration that the derivative expansion of the QED effective action is a divergent but Borel summable asymptotic series, for a particular inhomogeneous background magnetic field. A duality transformation B\to iE…
We introduce a certain differential graded bialgebra, neither commutative nor cocommutative, that governs perturbations of a differential on complexes supplied with an abstract Hodge decomposition. This leads to a conceptual treatment of…

Lie-algebraic and quantum-algebraic techniques are used in the analysis of thermodynamic properties of molecules and solids. The local anharmonic effects are described by a Morse-like potential associated with the $su(2)$ algebra. A…
