Maslov indices are integers that appear in semiclassical wave functions and quantization conditions. They are often notoriously difficult to compute. We present methods of computing the Maslov index that rely only on typically elementary…

The idea of adaptive perturbation theory is to divide a Hamiltonian into a solvable part and a perturbation part. The solvable part contains the non-interacting sector and the diagonal elements of Fock space from the interacting terms. The…

Within general partial-wave mixing, a method for reducing the high dimension of the finite-volume Hamiltonian from Hamiltonian effective field theory is proposed. This method provides a new viewpoint on partial-wave mixing, and a set of…
We give a construction of ``quantum Maslov characteristic classes'', generalizing to higher dimensional cycles the Hu-Lalonde-Seidel morphism. We also state a conjecture extending this to an $A _{\infty}$ functor from the exact path…
Semiclassical Mechanics allows for a description of quantum systems which preserves their phase information, while using only the system's classical dynamics as an input. Over the time an identification has been developed between stationary…
Starting from the parametric representation of a Feynman diagram, we obtain it's well defined value in dimensional regularisation by changing the integrals over parameters into contour integrals. That way we eventually arrive at a…
