Cheshire Cat resurgence, Self-resurgence and Quasi-Exact Solvable Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the Double Sine-Gordon (DSG) and the Tilted Double Well (TDW) potentials and show that the convergence of DSG and TDW is determined by the quantization of the hidden topological angle.

Algebraic solution of the supersymmetric hydrogen atom in d dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the N = 2 supersymmetric extension of the Schrodinger Hamiltonian with 1/r-potential in arbitrary space-dimensions is constructed, where the super-symmetric hydrogen atom admits a conserved Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector which extends the rotational symmetry SO(d) to a hidden SO (d+1) symmetry.

Related operators and exact solutions of schrödinger equations

TL;DR: In this article, the Schrodinger equation was considered as a differential equation, disregarding the physical interpretation associated with solutions, by introducing the notion of A-related equations, A being a differential operator, and associated with it a Riccati equation.

Exact Solutions of the Klein-Gordon Equation with Position-Dependent Mass for Mixed Vector and Scalar Kink-Like Potentials

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic problem of spinless particles with position-dependent mass subject to kink-like potentials was investigated and the functional analysis method was used to obtain the bound state solutions in the closed form.

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.
