Analytic solutions to nonlocal abstract equations

Marina Ghisi (2003)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this paper we study the problem of existence of global solutions for some classes of abstract equations, that generalize some type of Klein-Gordon equations, with nonlinear nonlocal terms of Kirchhoff type. We find some conditions that guarantee the existence of such solutions whether in presence or in absence of a conserved energy.

Another formulation of the Wick’s theorem. Farewell, pairing?

Igor V. Beloussov (2015)

Special Matrices

The algebraic formulation of Wick’s theorem that allows one to present the vacuum or thermal averages of the chronological product of an arbitrary number of field operators as a determinant (permanent) of the matrix is proposed. Each element of the matrix is the average of the chronological product of only two operators. This formulation is extremely convenient for practical calculations in quantum field theory, statistical physics, and quantum chemistry by the standard packages of the well known...

Aperiodicity of the Hamiltonian flow in the Thomas-Fermi potential.

Charles L. Fefferman, Luis A. Seco (1993)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In [FS1] we announced a precise asymptotic formula for the ground-state energy of a non-relativistic atom. The purpose of this paper is to establish an elementary inequality that plays a crucial role in our proof of that formula. The inequality concerns the Thomas-Fermi potentialVTF = -y(ar) / r, a > 0, where y(r) is defined as the solution of⎧   y''(x) = x-1/2y3/2(x),⎨   y(0) = 1,⎩   y(∞) = 0.

Application of linear hyperbolic PDE to linear quantum fields in curved spacetimes : especially black holes, time machines and a new semi-local vacuum concept

Bernard Kay (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Several situations of physical importance may be modelled by linear quantum fields propagating in fixed spacetime-dependent classical background fields. For example, the quantum Dirac field in a strong and/or time-dependent external electromagnetic field accounts for the creation of electron-positron pairs out of the vacuum. Also, the theory of linear quantum fields propagating on a given background curved spacetime is the appropriate framework for the derivation of black-hole evaporation (Hawking...
