The ``time-evolution operator'' in mechanics is a powerful tool which can be geometrically defined as a vector field along the Legendre map. It has been extensively used by several authors for studying the structure and properties of the…
A mechanism describing state reduction dynamics in relativistic quantum field theory is outlined. The mechanism involves nonlinear stochastic modifications to the standard description of unitary state evolution and the introduction of a…
A Dirac picture perturbation theory is developed for the time evolution operator in classical dynamics in the spirit of the Schwinger-Feynman-Dyson perturbation expansion and detailed rules are derived for computations. Complexification…
In light of the conference Quantum Mathematical Physics held in Regensburg in 2014, we give our perspective on the external field problem in quantum electrodynamics (QED), i.e., QED without photons in which the sole interaction stems from…
We investigate the non-equilibrium properties of an N-component scalar field theory. The time evolution of the correlation functions for an arbitrary ensemble of initial conditions is described by an exact functional differential equation.…
A system of reduced equations is proposed for the electron motion in the strongly-radiation dominated regime for an arbitrary electromagnetic field configuration. The developed approach is used to analyze various scenarios of an electron…
Like any other logical theory, domain descriptions in reasoning about actions may evolve, and thus need revision methods to adequately accommodate new information about the behavior of actions. The present work is about changing action…
The thermodynamics of a scalar field with a quartic interaction is studied within the linear delta expansion (LDE) method. Using the imaginary-time formalism the free energy is evaluated up to second order in the LDE. The method generates…
We study the time evolution of a state of a relativistic quantum field theory restricted to a spatial subregion $\Omega$. More precisely, we use the Feynman-Vernon influence functional formalism to describe the dynamics of the field theory…
We introduce an encoder-only approach to learn the evolution operators of large-scale non-linear dynamical systems, such as those describing complex natural phenomena. Evolution operators are particularly well-suited for analyzing systems…
We investigate an extension of excited state mean-field theory in which the energy expression is augmented with density functional components in an effort to include the effects of weak electron correlations. The approach remains…
We present a new perturbative formulation of non-equilibrium thermal field theory, based upon non-homogeneous free propagators and time-dependent vertices. The resulting time-dependent diagrammatic perturbation series are free of pinch…
We discuss time dependent quantum systems on bounded domains. Our work may be viewed as a framework for several models, including linear iterations involved in time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the Hartree-Fock model, or…
When complex systems with nonlinear dynamics achieve an output performance objective, only a fraction of the state dynamics significantly impacts that output. Those minimal state dynamics can be identified using the differential geometric…
We present a simple field transformation which changes the field arguments from the ordinary position-space coordinates to the oblique phase-space coordinates that are linear in position and momentum variables. This is useful in studying…
It is demonstrated that the "dressed particle" approach to relativistic local quantum field theories does not contradict Haag's theorem. On the contrary, "dressing" is the way to overcome the difficulties revealed by Haag's theorem.
Many quantum field theoretical models possess non-trivial solutions which are stable for topological reasons. We construct a self-consistent example for a self-interacting scalar field--the quantum (or dressed) kink--using a two particle…
Although Quantum field theory has been very successful in explaining experiment, there are two aspects of the theory that remain quite troubling. One is the no-interaction result proved in Haag's theorem. The other is the existence of…
The symmetry reduction of dynamical systems that are invariant under changes of global scale is well-understood for classical theories of particles, and fields. The excision of the superfluous degree of freedom generating such rescalings…
I review a particular class of physical applications of Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory in strings propagating in changing (not necessarily conformal) backgrounds, namely D-brane recoil in flat or time-dependent cosmological backgrounds.…
