High energy scattering in the QCD parton model was recently shown to be a reaction-diffusion process, and thus to lie in the universality class of the stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. We recall that the latter…
Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are nonperturbative objects defined by nonlocal light-cone correlations. They cannot be computed directly from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Using a standard lattice QCD approach, it is possible to…

This paper deals with QED-particles and the interaction between them on a classical level. The Maxwell-equations are used mainly. (Proofs are not used in a mathematical but intuitive sense.) In the first step the main statements are…
Highly correlated states of electrons are thought to produce quasiparticles with very unusual properties. Here we consider how these properties are manifested in space-time propagation. Specifically, we discuss how spin-charge separation is…
