We extend the T-matrix approach to light scattering by spherical particles to some simple cases in which the scatterers are optically anisotropic. Specifically we consider cases in which the spherical particles include radially and…

We systematically explore the landscape of nonrelativistic effective field theories with a local $S$-matrix and enhanced symmetries and soft behavior. The exploration is carried out using both conventional quantum field theory methods based…

We explore the analytic structure of the non-perturbative S-matrix in arguably the simplest family of massive non-integrable quantum field theories: the Ising field theory (IFT) in two dimensions, which may be viewed as the Ising CFT…

We consider the path integral of a quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime with fixed boundary values (for the elementary fields) on asymptotic boundaries. We define and study the corresponding boundary correlation functions obtained by…

A new approach is described to the evaluation of the S-matrix in three-dimensional atom-diatom reactive quantum scattering theory. The theory is developed based on natural collision coordinates where progress along the reaction coordinate…

We recently introduced a robust approach to the derivation of sharp asymptotic formula for correlation functions of statistical mechanics models in the high-temperature regime. We describe its application to the nonperturbative proof of…

Large Gauge Transformations (LGT) are gauge transformations that do not vanish at infinity. Instead, they asymptotically approach arbitrary functions on the conformal sphere at infinity. Recently, it was argued that the LGT should be…

These lectures introduce the notion of asymptotic observables, which are classes of measurable quantities predicted by quantum field theory. In gapped theories with trivial infrared dynamics, these include scattering amplitudes, expectation…

In \cite{1808.03288}, logarithmic correction to subleading soft photon and soft graviton theorems have been derived in four spacetime dimensions from the ratio of IR-finite S-matrices. This has been achieved after factoring out IR-divergent…

Scattering amplitudes in $d+2$ dimensions can be expressed in terms of a conformal basis, for which the S-matrix behaves as a CFT correlation function on the celestial $d$-sphere. We explain how compact expressions for the full tree-level…

BFSS proposed that asymptotically flat M-theory is dual to a large $N$ limit of the matrix quantum mechanics describing $N$ nonrelativistic D0-branes. Recent insights on the soft symmetries of any quantum theory of gravity in asymptotically…

We consider soft electrons in massless QED at tree-level. The emission amplitude at leading order in the soft electron energy factorizes in a way similar to the soft photon case. We recast the soft electron factorization formula as a Ward…

Starting from well-known expressions for the $T$-matrix and its derivative in standard nonrelativistic potential scattering I rederive recent path-integral formulations due to Efimov and Barbashov et al. Some new relations follow…

We investigate the equivalence theorem for integrable systems using two formulations of the Alday-Arutyunov-Frolov model. We show that the S-matrix is invariant under the field transformation which reduces the non-linear Dirac brackets of…

First conformal transformations of the $S$-matrix are derived in massless $\phi^4$-theory. Then it is shown that the anomalous transformations can be rewritten as a symmetry once one has introduced a local coupling and interprets the charge…

The exact factorisable quantum S-matrices are known for simply laced as well as non-simply laced affine Toda field theories. Non-simply laced theories are obtained from the affine Toda theories based on simply laced algebras by folding the…

We approach the issue of exponentiation of soft gauge boson corrections to scattering amplitudes from a path integral point of view. We show that if one represents the amplitude as a first quantized path integral in a mixed…

Let $G$ be a directed graph on finitely many vertices and edges, and assign a positive weight to each edge on $G$. Fix vertices $u$ and $v$ and consider the set of paths that start at $u$ and end at $v$, self-intersecting in any number of…

Within the framework of the Zakharov-Schulman approach, in close analogy with the methods of quantum field theory, the classical scattering matrix for the simplest process of interaction between hard and soft excitations in a quark-gluon…

The logarithmic soft photon theorem in four spacetime dimensions encodes an infinite-dimensional asymptotic symmetry which acts on massive matter as a divergent superphaserotation. Here we extend this result to massless matter which is both…
