In the arena of the discrete phase space and continuous time, the theory of S-marix is formulated. In the special case of Quantum-Electrodynamics (QED), the Feynman rules are precisely developed. These rules in the fourmomentum turn out to…

We explore a formulation of the S-matrix in terms of the path integral with specified asymptotic data, as originally proposed by Arefeva, Faddeev, and Slavnov. In the tree approximation the S-matrix is equal to the exponential of the…

This article makes a dual contribution to scholarship in science and technology studies (STS) on simulation-building. It both documents a specific simulation-building project, and demonstrates a concrete contribution to interdisciplinary…

In these lectures we introduce the Feynman-Schwinger representation method for solving nonperturbative problems in field theory. As an introduction we first give a brief overview of integral equations and path integral methods for solving…

We describe a new phenomenon in the study of the real-time path integral, where complex classical paths hit singularities of the potential and need to be analytically continued beyond the space for which they solve the boundary value…

This document presents a series of open questions arising in matrix computations, i.e., the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. It is a result of working groups at the workshop Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems, which was…

We study the quantization problem of relativistic scalar and spinning particles interacting with a radiation electromagnetic field by using the path integral and the external source method. The spin degrees of freedom are described in terms…

We propose a strategy to study the analytic structure of Feynman parameter integrals where singularities of the integrand consist of rational irreducible components. At the core of this strategy is the identification of a selected stratum…

We construct a perturbative S-matrix for interacting massive scalar fields in global de Sitter space. Our S-matrix is formulated in terms of asymptotic particle states in the far past and future, taking appropriate care for light fields…

$ $[This paper is a (self contained) chapter in a new book, Mathematics and Computation, whose draft is available on my homepage at https://www.math.ias.edu/avi/book ]. We survey some concrete interaction areas between computational…

This work aims to bridge the gap between pure and applied research on scalar, linear Volterra equations by examining five major classes: integral and integro-differential equations with completely monotone kernels, such as linear…

I review the generating function for quantum-statistical mechanics, known as the Feynman-Vernon influence functional, the decoherence functional, or the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral. I describe a probability-conserving $i\varepsilon$…

We introduce SOFIA, a Mathematica package that automatizes the computation of singularities of Feynman integrals, based on new theoretical understanding of their analytic structure. Given a Feynman diagram, SOFIA generates a list of…

In these lecture notes we review the various relations between intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, integrable hierarchies of KdV type, matrix models, and topological quantum field theories. We explain in particular…

A method is presented in which matrix elements for some processes are calculated recursively. This recursive calculational technique is based on the method of basis spinors.

Using matrix model techniques for the counting of planar Feynman diagrams, recent results of Sundberg and Thistlethwaite on the counting of alternating tangles and links are reproduced.

Several intersection matrices of $s$-subsets vs. $k$-subsets of a $v$-set are introduced in the literature. We study these matrices systematically through counting arguments and generating function techniques. A number of new or known…

Based on the method in Refs.~{\tt [D.~Kreimer, Z.\ Phys.\ C {\bf 54} (1992) 667} and {\tt Int.\ J.\ Mod.\ Phys.\ A {\bf 8} (1993) 1797]}, we present analytic results for scalar one-loop four-point Feynman integrals with complex internal…

The topology of complex classical paths is investigated to discuss quantum tunnelling splittings in one-dimensional systems. Here the Hamiltonian is assumed to be given as polynomial functions, so the fundamental group for the Riemann…

What kind of problem-solving instruction can help students apply what they have learned to solve the new and unfamiliar problems they will encounter in the future? We propose that mathematical sensemaking, the practice of seeking coherence…
