We revisit the problem of the equations of motion of a system of $N$ self-interacting massive particles (without spins) in the first post-Minkowskian (1PM) approximation of general relativity. We write the equations of motion, gravitational…

It has been shown by Yu.~Yaremko [Elect. J. Theor. Phys. {\bf 9}, 153 (2012)] within the classial electrodynamics that the hypothetical massless charged particle must generate an infinitely strong radiation reaction, thus not an external…
We present an extension of our recent paper [Bienias et al., Phys. Rev. A 90, 053804 (2014)] in which we demonstrated the scattering properties and bound-state structure of two Rydberg polaritons, as well as the derivation of the effective…
We find a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian for the time-symmetric problem of straight line motion of two electrons in direct relativistic interaction. This time-symmetric dynamical system appeared 100 years ago and it was popularized in…
The dominantly orbital state method allows a semiclassical description of quantum systems. At the origin, it was developed for two-body relativistic systems. Here, the method is extended to treat two-body Hamiltonians and systems with three…
The wave functions of Boson and Fermion gases are known even when the particles have harmonic interactions. Here we generalise these results by solving exactly the N-body Schrodinger equation for potentials V that can be any function of the…
We consider the problem of the motion of $N$ bodies in a self-gravitating system in two spacetime dimensions. We point out that this system can be mapped onto the quantum-mechanical problem of an N-body generalization of the problem of the…
The low-lying bound states of a microscopic quantum many-body system of $n$ particles and the related physical observables can be worked out in a truncated $n$--particle Hilbert space. We present here a non-perturbative analysis of this…
In most books the Delaunay and Lagrange equations for the orbital elements are derived by the Hamilton-Jacobi method: one begins with the 2-body Hamilton equations, performs a canonical transformation to the orbital elements, and obtains…
We study a model based on $N$ scalar complex fields coupled to a scalar real field, where all fields are treated classically as c-numbers. The model describes a composite particle made up of $N$ constituents with bare mass $m_0$ interacting…
This paper presents a fortran program to solve diverse few-body problems with the stochastic variational method. Depending on the available computational resources the program is applicable for $N=2-3-4-5-6-...$-body systems with $L=0$…
The worldlines (in harmonic coordinates) of two gravitationally interacting massive bodies at the second post-Minkowskian order are described in explicit form. Both the conservative case and the radiation-reacted case are considered. We use…
Many-body wavefunctions usually lie in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces. However, physically relevant states, i.e, the eigenstates of the Schr\"odinger equation are rare. For many-body systems involving only pairwise interactions, these…
We develop a formalism for General Relativistic N-body simulations in the weak field regime, suitable for cosmological applications. The problem is kept tractable by retaining the metric perturbations to first order, the first derivatives…
We derive the conservative part of the Lagrangian and the energy of a gravitationally bound two-body system at fourth post-Newtonian order, up to terms quadratic in the Newton constant. We also show that such terms are compatible with…

We describe the formalism to compute gravitational-wave observables for compact binaries via the effective field theory framework in combination with modern tools from collider physics. We put particular emphasis on solving the "multi-loop"…
Following Sutherland's work on one-dimensional integrable systems we formulate and study its two-dimensional version. Physically it expresses the absence of true 3-body forces among an assembly of N particles leaving exclusively effective…
