Fractionalization of symmetry - exemplified by spin-charge separation in the 1D Hubbard model and fractional charges in the fractional quantum Hall effect - is a typical strongly correlated phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Despite…
Unlike the situation for the 1d Dirac delta derivative Schrodinger pseudo potential (SPP) and the 2d Dirac delta SPP, where the indeterminacy originates from a lack of scale in the first and both a lack of scale as well as the wave function…
For several processes at colliding beams, macroscopically large impact parameters give an essential contribution to the standard cross section. These impact parameters may be much larger than the transverse sizes of the colliding bunches.…
