A single particle obeys the Dirac equation in $d \ge 1$ spatial dimensions and is bound by an attractive central monotone potential that vanishes at infinity. In one dimension, the potential is even, and monotone for $x\ge 0.$ The…
Since the particles such as molecules, atoms and nuclei are composite particles, it is important to recognize that physics must be invariant for the composite particles and their constituent particles, this requirement is called particle…
We extend Panella and Roy's [13] work on one-dimensional heterostructure for massless Dirac particles with position-dependent (PD) velocity. We consider Dirac particles where both the mass and velocity are position-dependent. Bound states…
We study the self-interaction effects for the Dirac particle moving in an external field created by static charges in (1+1)-dimensions. Assuming that the total electric charge of the system vanishes, we show that the asymptotically linearly…
In the light of the Sturm-Liouville theorem, the Levinson theorem for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with both local and non-local cylindrically symmetric potentials is studied. It is proved that the two-dimensional Levinson theorem holds for…
We present a generalization of Dirac constraint theory based on the theory of Poisson-Dirac submanifolds. The theory is formulated in a coordinate-free manner while simultaneously relaxing the invertibility condition as seen in standard…
We show how the scattering phase shift, the s-wave scattering length and the p-wave scattering volume can be obtained from Riccati equations derived in variable phase theory. We find general expressions that provide upper and lower bounds…
The general Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions with a potential with a completely general Lorentz structure is studied. Considering mixed vector-scalar-pseudoscalar square potentials, the states of relativistic fermions are investigated. This…
We consider the reflection of a Dirac plane wave on a perfectly reflecting plane described by chiral MIT boundary conditions and determine the rotation of the spin in the reflected component of the wave. We solve the analogous problem for a…
Generalized solutions of the standard gauge transformation equations are presented and discussed in physical terms. They go beyond the usual Dirac phase factors and they exhibit nonlocal quantal behavior, with the well-known Relativistic…
The core concept of quantum simulation is the mapping of an inaccessible quantum system onto a controllable one by identifying analogous dynamics. We map the Dirac equation of relativistic quantum mechanics in 3+1 dimensions onto a…
Here I present a new discrete model of quantum mechanics for relativistic 1-electron systems, in which particle movement is described by a directed space-time graph with attached 4-spinors, but without any continuous wave functions. These…
We study the ground states of the pieces' model in the Fermi-Dirac statistics in the thermodynamic limit. In other words, we consider the minimizing configurations of $ n $ interacting fermions in an interval $ \Lambda $ divided into pieces…
We establish the connection between a multichannel disordered model --the 1D Dirac equation with $N\times N$ matricial random mass-- and a random matrix model corresponding to a deformation of the Laguerre ensemble. This allows us to derive…
We consider full phase-space noncommutativity in the Dirac equation, and find that in order to preserve gauge invariance, configuration space noncommutativity must be dropped. The resulting space structure gives rise to a constant magnetic…
Thanks to the Dirac equation, the hydrogen-like atom at high $Z$ offers a precise model of relativistic bound state, allowing to test properties of unpolarized and polarized structure functions analogous to the hadronic ones, in particular:…
We study the Dirac equation in confining potentials with pure vector coupling, proving the existence of metastable states with longer and longer lifetimes as the non-relativistic limit is approached and eventually merging with continuity…
The dynamics of weak vs. strong first order phase transitions is investigated numerically for 2+1 dimensional scalar field models. It is argued that the change from a weak to a strong transition is itself a (second order) phase transition,…
The explicit semiclassical treatment of logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem within the framework of the Dirac equation is developed. Avoiding disadvantages of the standard approach in the description of exited…
We consider a single particle which is bound by a central potential and obeys the Dirac equation. We compare two cases in which the masses are the same but Va < Vb, where V is the time-component of a vector potential. We prove generally…
