We study the pseudo-Hermitian systems with general spin-coupling point interactions and give a systematic description of the corresponding boundary conditions for PT-symmetric systems. The corresponding integrability for both bosonic and fermionic many-body systems with PT-symmetric contact interactions is investigated.

We determine radial distribution functions for charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions for various volume fractions. By means of two independent inversion routines based on (i) the Ornstein–Zernike equation and (ii) the inverse Monte Carlo method, we extract effective colloid–colloid pair potentials from the distribution functions. Working at a fixed salinity, these potentials would not depend ...

In heteropolymers, energetic correlations exist due to polymeric constraints and the locality of interactions. Pair correlations in conjunction with the a priori specification of the existence of a particularly low energy state provide a method of introducing the aspect of minimal frustration to the energy landscapes of random heteropolymers. The resulting funneled landscape exhibits both a pha...

Scattering theory is the analysis of the motion of several interacting particles. Inverse problems in scattering theory seek the answer to the question: can one determine the interactions between particles by a scattering experiment, so, for instance, does the scattering matrix, or a part of the scattering matrix, determine the interaction? The answer, and the difficulty, greatly depends on the...

Single-particle energies of Λ and Σ hyperons in several nuclei are obtained from the relevant self–energies. The latter are constructed within the framework of a perturbative many-body approach employing present realistic hyperon-nucleon interactions such as the models of the Jülich and Nijmegen groups. The effects of the non-locality and energy-dependence of the self– energy on the bound state...

Knowing when a physical system has reached sufficient size for its macroscopic properties to be well described by many-body theory is difficult. We investigated the crossover from few- to many-body physics by studying quasi-one-dimensional systems of ultracold atoms consisting of a single impurity interacting with an increasing number of identical fermions. We measured the interaction energy of...
