A proposal of new sets of squeezed states

TL;DR: In this article, a specific basis of Fock states was constructed by including a real (continuous) parameter in the generators of the Heisenberg algebra, which formed new bases with respect to harmonic oscillator-like developments.

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.
