The generalized Coulomb problem: an exactly solvable model

TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb potential was investigated as a special case of the repulsive Coulomb problem, and a class of exactly solvable potentials with an angular-momentum-independent repulsive core was proposed.

Nonlinear pseudo-bosons versus hidden Hermiticity: II. The case of unbounded operators

TL;DR: In this paper, a parallelism between the notions of nonlinear pseudobosons and those of an apparent non-Hermiticity of observables is demonstrated to survive the transition to the quantum models using an unbounded metric in the so-called standard Hilbert space of states.

Supersymmetry in the Jaynes-Cummings model

TL;DR: The supersymmetrical representation of the JCM model is studied in this article, where the superalgebra of the model is described and the presence of the energy gap is demonstrated.

From the Dirac operator to Wess Zumino models on spatial lattices

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-local and antisymmetric SLAC derivative of the Wess-Zumino model is proposed, which allows chiral fermions without doublers and minimizes lattice artifacts.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
