We explore the quantum Coulomb problem for two-body bound states, in $D=3$ and $D=3-2epsilon$ dimensions, in detail, and give an extensive list of expectation values that arise in the evaluation of QED corrections to bound state energies. We describe the techniques used to obtain these expectation values and give general formulas for the evaluation of integrals involving associated Laguerre polynomials. In addition, we give formulas for the evaluation of integrals involving subtracted associated Laguerre polynomials--those with low powers of the variable subtracted off--that arise when evaluating divergent expectation values. We present perturbative results (in the parameter $epsilon$) that show how bound state energies and wave functions in $D=3-2epsilon$ dimensions differ from their $D=3$ dimensional counterparts and use these formulas to find regularized expressions for divergent expectation values such as $big langle bar V^3 big rangle$ and $big langle (bar V)^2 big rangle$ where $bar V$ is the $D$-dimensional Coulomb potential. We evaluate a number of finite $D$-dimensional expectation values such as $big langle r^{-2+4epsilon} partial_r^2 big rangle$ and $big langle r^{4epsilon} p^4 big rangle$ that have $epsilon rightarrow 0$ limits that differ from their three-dimensional counterparts $big langle r^{-2} partial_r^2 big rangle$ and $big langle p^4 big rangle$. We explore the use of recursion relations, the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, and momentum space brackets combined with $D$-dimensional Fourier transformation for the evaluation of $D$-dimensional expectation values. The results of this paper are useful when using dimensional regularization in the calculation of properties of Coulomb bound systems.

Quantum mechanical models and practical calculations often rely on some exactly solvable models like the Coulomb and the harmonic oscillator potentials. The $D$ dimensional generalized Coulomb potential contains these potentials as limiting cases, thus it establishes a continuous link between the Coulomb and harmonic oscillator potentials in various dimensions. We present results which are necessary for the utilization of this potential as a model and practical reference problem for quantum mechanical calculations. We define a Hilbert space basis, the generalized Coulomb-Sturmian basis, and calculate the Greens operator on this basis and also present an SU(1,1) algebra associated with it. We formulate the problem for the one-dimensional case too, and point out that the complications arising due to the singularity of the one-dimensional Coulomb problem can be avoided with the use of the generalized Coulomb potential.
We construct, by a procedure involving a dimensional reduction from a Chern-Simons theory with borders, an effective theory for a 1+1 dimensional superconductor. 1That system can be either in an ordinary phase or in a topological one, depending on the value of two phases, corresponding to complex order parameters. Finally, we argue that the original theory and its dimensionally reduced one can be related to the effective action for a quantum Dirac field in a slab geometry, coupled to a gauge field.
The chiral spin-glass Potts system with q=3 states is studied in d=2 and 3 spatial dimensions by renormalization-group theory and the global phase diagrams are calculated in temperature, chirality concentration p, and chirality-breaking concentration c, with determination of phase chaos and phase-boundary chaos. In d=3, the system has ferromagnetic, left-chiral, right-chiral, chiral spin-glass, and disordered phases. The phase boundaries to the ferromagnetic, left- and right-chiral phases show, differently, an unusual, fibrous patchwork (microreentrances) of all four (ferromagnetic, left-chiral, right-chiral, chiral spin-glass) ordered ordered phases, especially in the multicritical region. The chaotic behavior of the interactions, under scale change, are determined in the chiral spin-glass phase and on the boundary between the chiral spin-glass and disordered phases, showing Lyapunov exponents in magnitudes reversed from the usual ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic spin-glass systems. At low temperatures, the boundaries of the left- and right-chiral phases become thresholded in p and c. In the d=2, the chiral spin-glass system does not have a spin-glass phase, consistently with the lower-critical dimension of ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic spin glasses. The left- and right-chirally ordered phases show reentrance in chirality concentration p.
In this work, we calculate the amplitudes of the processes $cbar c({^3P_J}) rightarrow DD,DD^*, D^*D^* rightarrow cbar c({^3P_J})$ in the leading order of the nonrelativistic expansion. The imaginary parts of the amplitudes are corresponding to the branch decay widthes of the charmonium $cbar c({^3P_J}) rightarrow DD,DD^*, D^*D^*$ and the real parts are corresponding to the mass shifts of the charmonium $cbar c({^3P_J})$ due to these decay channels. After absorbing the polynomial contributions which are pure real and include the UV divergences, the ratios between the branch decay widthes and the corresponding mass shifts are only dependent on the center-of-mass energy. We find the decay widthes and the mass shifts of the $^3P_2$ states are exact zero in the leading order. The ratios between the branch decay widthes and the mass shifts for the $^3P_0, {^3P_1}$ states are larger than 5 when the center-of-mass energy is above the $DD,DD^*, D^*D^*$ threshold. The dependence of the mass shifts on the center-of-mass energy is nontrivial especially when the center-of-mass energy is below the threshold. The analytic results can be extended to the $b$ quark sector directly.
We study the problem of disorder-free metals near a continuous Ising nematic quantum critical point in $d=3+1$ dimensions. We begin with perturbation theory in the `Yukawa coupling between the electrons and undamped bosons (nematic order parameter fluctuations) and show that the perturbation expansion breaks down below energy scales where the bosons get substantially Landau damped. Above this scale however, we find a regime in which low-energy fermions obtain an imaginary self-energy that varies linearly with frequency, realizing the `marginal Fermi liquid phenomenologycite{Varma}. We discuss a large N theory in which the marginal Fermi liquid behavior is enhanced while the role of Landau damping is suppressed, and show that quasiparticles obtain a decay rate parametrically larger than their energy.
