A relativistic equation is deduced for the bound state of two particles, by assuming a proper boundary condition for the propagation of the negative-energy states. It reduces to the (one-body)Dirac equation in the infinite limit of one of…
The absence of recognizable, low energy quantum gravitational effects requires that some asymptotic series expansion be wonderfully accurate, but the correct expansion might involve logarithms or fractional powers of Newton's constant. That…
We study the effect of a time-varying solenoidal vector potential for a quantum particle confined to a ring. The setup appears to be a time-varying version of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, but since the particle moves in the presence of fields,…
A relation between the deformed Hulth\'en potential and the Eckart one is used to write the bound-state wavefunctions of the former in terms of Jacobi polynomials and to calculate their normalization coefficients. The shape invariance…

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…
We discuss modifications to the Hawking spectrum that arise when the asymptotic states are supertranslated or superrotated. For supertranslations we find nontrivial off-diagonal phases in the two-point correlator although the emission…

Using the framework of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) [1] we are developing a covariant model formulated in Minkowski space to study mesonic structure and spectra. Treating mesons as effective $q\bar{q}$ states, we focused in [2] on…

We reconsider general aspects of Galilean-invariant thermal field theory. Using the proposal of our companion paper, we recast non-relativistic hydrodynamics in a manifestly covariant way and couple it to a background spacetime. We examine…
Backreactions are considered in a de Sitter spacetime whose cosmological constant is generated by the potential of scalar field. The leading order gravitational effect of nonlinear matter fluctuations is analyzed and it is found that the…
The Klein-Gordon equation describes the wave-like behavior of spinless particles since it is Lorentz invariant. While it seemed initially ripe for explaining the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom, the lack of a unconditional…
In this paper, we give the covariant formulation of second gradient electrodynamics, which is a generalized electrodynamics of second order including derivatives of higher order. The relativistic form of the field equations, the…
We analyze the calculation of bound states for a nonrelativistic spin-half neutral particle under the influence of a Coulomb-like potential induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects. We show that the truncation condition proposed by the…
This is a study of induced nonlinear realizations of a Lie group G in which the presence of one field induces nonlinear transformations on another field. The covariant derivative structure is similar in form to that for local gauge theory.…
A classic no-go theorem in one-dimensional quantum mechanics can be evaded when the potentials are unbounded below, thus allowing for novel parity-paired degenerate energy bound states. We numerically determine the spectrum of one such…
We study a first-order formulation for the coupled evolution of a quantum scalar field and a classical Friedmann universe. The model is defined by a state dependent hamiltonian constraint and the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation for…
