A new approach to the theory of anisotropic exciton based on Fock transformation, i.e., on a stereographic projection of the momentum to the unit 4-dimensional (4D) sphere, is developed. Hyperspherical functions are used as a basis of the perturbation theory. The binding energies, wave functions and oscillator strengths of elongated as well as flattened excitons are obtained numerically. It is shown that with an increase of the anisotropy degree the oscillator strengths are markedly redistributed between optically active and formerly inactive states, making the latter optically active. An approximate analytical solution of the anisotropic exciton problem taking into account the angular momentum conserving terms is obtained. This solution gives the binding energies of moderately anisotropic exciton with a good accuracy and provides a useful qualitative description of the energy level evolution.

We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for $N$ non-interacting fermions confined in a local potential. Using Gutzwillers semi-classical Green function, we describe the oscillating parts of the densities in terms of closed non-periodic classical orbits. We derive universal relations between the oscillating parts of the densities for potentials with spherical symmetry in arbitrary dimensions, and a ``local virial theorem valid also for arbitrary non-integrable potentials. We give simple analytical formulae for the density oscillations in a one-dimensional potential.
We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for a system of $N$ fermions bound in a local (mean-field) potential $V(bfr)$. We generalize a recently developed semiclassical theory [J. Roccia and M. Brack, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 100}, 200408 (2008)], in which the densities are calculated in terms of the closed orbits of the corresponding classical system, to $D>1$ dimensions. We regularize the semiclassical results $(i)$ for the U(1) symmetry breaking occurring for spherical systems at $r=0$ and $(ii)$ near the classical turning points where the Friedel oscillations are predominant and well reproduced by the shortest orbit going from $r$ to the closest turning point and back. For systems with spherical symmetry, we show that there exist two types of oscillations which can be attributed to radial and non-radial orbits, respectively. The semiclassical theory is tested against exact quantum-mechanical calculations for a variety of model potentials. We find a very good overall numerical agreement between semiclassical and exact numerical densities even for moderate particle numbers $N$. Using a local virial theorem, shown to be valid (except for a small region around the classical turning points) for arbitrary local potentials, we can prove that the Thomas-Fermi functional $tau_{text{TF}}[rho]$ reproduces the oscillations in the quantum-mechanical densities to first order in the oscillating parts.
The spherically symmetric potential $a ,delta (r-r_0)+b,delta (r-r_0)$ is generalised for the $d$-dimensional space as a characterisation of a unique selfadjoint extension of the free Hamiltonian. For this extension of the Dirac delta, the spectrum of negative, zero and positive energy states is studied in $dgeq 2$, providing numerical results for the expectation value of the radius as a function of the free parameters of the potential. Remarkably, only if $d=2$ the $delta$-$delta$ potential for arbitrary $a>0$ admits a bound state with zero angular momentum.
In bootstrap percolation it is known that the critical percolation threshold tends to converge slowly to zero with increasing system size, or, inversely, the critical size diverges fast when the percolation probability goes to zero. To obtain higher-order terms (that is, sharp and sharper thresholds) for the percolation threshold in general is a hard question. In the case of two-dimensional anisotropic models, sometimes correction terms can be obtained from inversion in a relatively simple manner.
By an integral equation approach to the time-harmonic classical Maxwell equations, we describe the dispersion in the nonretarded frequency regime of the edge plasmon-polariton (EPP) on a semi-infinite flat sheet. The sheet has an arbitrary, physically admissible, tensor valued and spatially homogeneous conductivity, and serves as a model for a family of two-dimensional conducting materials. We formulate a system of integral equations for the electric field tangential to the sheet in a homogeneous and isotropic ambient medium. We show how this system is simplified via a length scale separation. This view entails the quasi-electrostatic approximation, by which the tangential electric field is replaced by the gradient of a scalar potential, $varphi$. By the Wiener-Hopf method, we solve an integral equation for $varphi$ in some generality. The EPP dispersion relation comes from the elimination of a divergent limiting Fourier integral for $varphi$ at the edge. We connect the existence, or lack thereof, of the EPP dispersion relation to the index for Wiener-Hopf integral equations, an integer of topological character. We indicate that the values of this index may express an asymmetry due to the material anisotropy in the number of wave modes propagating on the sheet away from the edge with respect to the EPP direction of propagation. We discuss extensions such as the setting of two semi-infinite, coplanar sheets. Our theory forms a generalization of the treatment by Volkov and Mikhailov (1988 Sov. Phys. JETP 67 1639).
