One-dimensional scattering by a Coulomb potential V(x)=lambda/|x| is studied for both repulsive (c>0) and attractive (c<0) cases. Two methods of regularizing the singularity at x=0 are used, yielding the same conclusion, namely, that the…
A distorted-wave version of the renormalisation group is applied to scattering by an inverse-square potential and to three-body systems. In attractive three-body systems, the short-distance wave function satisfies a Schroedinger equation…
This paper is a continuation of the previous one [Journal xx, xxxxx (2022)]. Here, we reformulate the same J-matrix theory by regularizing the inverse square singular potential. The objective is to restore rapid convergence of the…
Nonrelativistic two-body scattering by a short-ranged potential is studied using the renormalisation group. Two fixed points are identified: a trivial one and one describing systems with a bound state at zero energy. The eigenvalues of the…
Long-range attractive interactions between dark matter particles can significantly enhance their annihilation, particularly at low velocities. This ``Sommerfeld enhancement'' is typically computed by evaluating the deformation of the…
For a class of long-range potentials, including ultra-strong perturbations of the attractive Coulomb potential in dimension $d\geq3$, we introduce a stationary scattering theory for Schr\"odinger operators which is regular at zero energy.…
We discuss spectral properties of a regularization approach to a Schr\"odinger equation set-up for the diffraction of a quantum particle at almost planar patterns. Physically meaningful initial values and potentials are modeled in terms of…
Spectral singularities are certain points of the continuous spectrum of generic complex scattering potentials. We review the recent developments leading to the discovery of their physical meaning, consequences, and generalizations. In…
A pair of scattering potentials are called $\alpha$-equivalent if they have identical scattering properties for incident plane waves with wavenumber $k\leq\alpha$ (energy $k^2\leq\alpha^2$.) We use a recently developed multidimensional…
In effective field theory physical quantities, in particular observables, are expressed as a power series in terms of a small expansion parameter. For non-perturbative systems, for instance nuclear physics, this requires the…
We develop a perturbative method of computing spectral singularities of a Schreodinger operator defined by a general complex potential that vanishes outside a closed interval. These can be realized as zero-width resonances in optical gain…
We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, with mass-critical nonlinearity, focusing or defocusing. For any given angle, we establish the existence of infinitely many functions on which the scattering operator acts as a rotation of…
We study one-dimensional scattering for a decaying potential with rapid periodic oscillations and strong localized singularities. In particular, we consider the Schr\"odinger equation \[ H_\epsilon \psi := (-\partial_x^2 + V_0(x) +…
We present an abstract result on removing regularization for singular potentials which are not semibounded from below. The relation between ``right'' regularizations and ``right'' self-adjoint extensions of the perturbed Schr\"odinger…
We examine several zero-range potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The study of such potentials requires regularization and renormalization. We contrast physical results obtained using dimensional regularization and cutoff…
We study the relativistic version of Schr\"odinger equation for a point particle in 1-d with potential of the first derivative of the delta function. The momentum cutoff regularization is used to study the bound state and scattering states.…
We study the inverse scattering problem for electric potentials and magnetic fields in $\ere^d, d\geq 3$, that are asymptotic sums of homogeneous terms at infinity. The main result is that all these terms can be uniquely reconstructed from…
We consider the fixed angle inverse scattering problem and show that a compactly supported potential is uniquely determined by its scattering amplitude for two opposite fixed angles. We also show that almost symmetric or horizontally…
In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, singular potentials in problems with spherical symmetry lead to a Schrodinger equation for stationary states with non-Fuchsian singularities both as r tends to zero and as r tends to infinity. In the…
A simple regularization procedure is proposed for the Legendre function series of improved nearside-farside subamplitudes for charged particles elastic scattering. The procedure is the extension of the usual one which defines the partial…
