We consider the eigenvalue problem of a kinetic collision operator for a quantum Brownian particle interacting with a one-dimensional chain. The quantum nature of the system gives rise to a difference operator. For the one-dimensional case,…
We discuss the (right) eigenvalue equation for $\mathbb{H}$, $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ linear quaternionic operators. The possibility to introduce an isomorphism between these operators and real/complex matrices allows to translate the…

We review our work on computations of the quantum corrections to the mass and the central charge of the susy kink. For the mass corrections, we find that the widely used momentum cut-off scheme gives an incorrect result, but we deduce…
