The physics of wavefunction collapse from Hilbert space to a classically real spacetime, accompanied by wave-particle duality, is, fundamentally, reduction of the complex psi to reality. We introduce new terminology for new physics. The…

We introduce a systematically improvable family of variational wave functions for the simulation of strongly correlated fermionic systems. This family consists of Slater determinants in an augmented Hilbert space involving "hidden"…

Wave-like partial differential equations occur in many engineering applications. Here the engineering setup is embedded into the Hilbert space framework of functional analysis of modern mathematical physics. The notion wave-like is a…

Electronic structure codes usually allow to calculate the work function as a part of the theoretical description of surfaces and processes such as adsorption thereon. This requires a proper calculation of the electrostatic potential in all…

Multi-time wave functions such as $\phi(t_1,x_1,\ldots,t_N,x_N)$ have one time variable $t_j$ for each particle. This type of wave function arises as a relativistic generalization of the wave function $\psi(t,x_1,\ldots,x_N)$ of…

We present a novel method for calculating the fundamental gap. To this end, reduced-density-matrix-functional theory is generalized to fractional particle number. For each fixed particle number, $M$, the total energy is minimized with…

In this paper we describe all differentiable functions $\varphi,\psi\colon E\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the functional-differential equation \begin{equation*} [\varphi(y) - \varphi(x)]\psi '\bigl(h(x,y)\bigr) = [\psi(y) - \psi(x)]\varphi…

Range-separated density-functional theory is an alternative approach to Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. The strategy of range-separated density-functional theory consists in separating the Coulomb electron-electron interaction into…

It is generally argued that if the wave-function in the de Broglie--Bohm theory is a physical field, it must be a field in configuration space. Nevertheless, it is possible to interpret the wave-function as a multi-field in…

Since 1908, when Mie reported analytical expressions for the fields scattered by a spherical particle upon incidence of an electromagnetic plane-wave, generalizing his analysis to the case of an arbitrary incident wave has proved elusive.…

We here establish the higher fractional differentiability for solutions to a class of obstacle problems with non-standard growth conditions. We deal with the case in which the solutions to the obstacle problems satisfy a variational…

It would be interesting to investigate the accuracy of the results obtained in the variational method, because it is important for studying hadron spectra. One can define some criteria to judge the accuracy, or the quality of the trial…

In this work, standard methods of the mixed thin-shell foramlism are refined using the framework of Colombeau's theory of generalized functions. To this end, systematic use is made of smooth generalized functions, in particular…

We consider quantum general relativity in three dimensions with a positive cosmological constant. The Hartle-Hawking wave function is computed as a function of metric data at asymptotic future infinity. The analytic continuation from…

In this paper, we investigate whether Variational Principles can be associated with the Helmholtz equation subject to impedance (absorbing) boundary conditions. This model has been extensively studied in the literature from both…

In this study, we use the concept of Bohmian trajectories to present a dynamical and deterministic interpretation for the gravity induced wave function reduction. We shall classify all possible regimes for the motion of a particle, based on…

We calculate the topological string partition function to all genus on the conifold, in the presence of branes. We demonstrate that the partition functions for different brane backgrounds (smoothly connected along a quantum corrected moduli…

The variational principle for a spherical configuration consisting of a thin spherical dust shell in gravitational field is constructed. The principle is consistent with the boundary-value problem of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange…

We consider the problem of approximating the solution of variational problems subject to the constraint that the admissible functions must be convex. This problem is at the interface between convex analysis, convex optimization, variational…

In contrast to wave functions in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics interpreted as probability amplitudes, wave functions in relativistic quantum mechanics have generalized meanings such as charge-density amplitudes, energy-density…
