When the Schr{o}dinger equation for stationary states is studied for a system described by a central potential in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, the radial part of stationary states is an even function of a parameter $lambda$ which is a linear combination of angular momentum quantum number $l$ and dimension $n$, i.e., $lambda=l+{(n-2)over 2}$. Thus, without setting a priori $n=3$, complex values of $lambda$ can be achieved, in particular, by keeping $l$ real and complexifying $n$. For suitable values of such an auxiliary complexified dimension, it is therefore possible to obtain results on scattering amplitude and phase shift that are completely equivalent to the results obtained in the sixties for Yukawian potentials in $mathbb{R}^3$. Moreover, if both $l$ and $n$ are complexified, the possibility arises of recovering the partial wave amplitude from residues of a function of two complex variables. Thus, the complex angular momentum formalism can be imbedded into a broader framework, where a correspondence exists between the scattering amplitude and a skew curve in $mathbb{R}^3$.

We study Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes in ${cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills by exploiting the duality with null polygonal Wilson loops. Certain Feynman integrals, including one-loop and two-loop chiral pentagons, are given by Feynman diagram s of a supersymmetric Wilson loop, where one can perform loop integrations and be left with simple integrals along edges. As the main application, we compute analytically for the first time, the symbol of the generic ($ngeq 12$) double pentagon, which gives two-loop MHV amplitudes and components of NMHV amplitudes to all multiplicities. We represent the double pentagon as a two-fold $mathrm{d} log$ integral of a one-loop hexagon, and the non-trivial part of the integration lies at rationalizing square roots contained in the latter. We obtain a remarkably compact algebraic words which contain $6$ algebraic letters for each of the $16$ square roots, and they all nicely cancel in combinations for MHV amplitudes and NMHV components which are free of square roots. In addition to $96$ algebraic letters, the alphabet consists of $152$ dual conformal invariant combinations of rational letters.
We solve the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of a spatially one-dimensional cusp potential. The scattering solutions are obtained in terms of Whittaker functions and the condition for the existence of transmission resonances is derived. We show the dependence of the zero-reflection condition on the shape of the potential. In the low momentum limit, transmission resonances are associated with half-bound states. We express the condition for transmission resonances in terms of the phase shifts.

A salient feature of the Schr{o}dinger equation is that the classical radial momentum term $p_{r}^{2}$ in polar coordinates is replaced by the operator $hat{P}^{dagger}_{r} hat{P}_{r}$, where the operator $hat{P}_{r}$ is not hermitian in general. Thi s fact has important implications for the path integral and semi-classical approximations. When one defines a formal hermitian radial momentum operator $hat{p}_{r}=(1/2)((frac{hat{vec{x}}}{r}) hat{vec{p}}+hat{vec{p}}(frac{hat{vec{x}}}{r}))$, the relation $hat{P}^{dagger}_{r} hat{P}_{r}=hat{p}_{r}^{2}+hbar^{2}(d-1)(d-3)/(4r^{2})$ holds in $d$-dimensional space and this extra potential appears in the path integral formulated in polar coordinates. The extra potential, which influences the classical solutions in the semi-classical treatment such as in the analysis of solitons and collective modes, vanishes for $d=3$ and attractive for $d=2$ and repulsive for all other cases $dgeq 4$. This extra term induced by the non-hermitian operator is a purely quantum effect, and it is somewhat analogous to the quantum anomaly in chiral gauge theory.
In this paper, we discuss tensor network descriptions of AdS/CFT from two different viewpoints. First, we start with an Euclidean path-integral computation of ground state wave functions with a UV cut off. We consider its efficient optimization by ma king its UV cut off position dependent and define a quantum state at each length scale. We conjecture that this path-integral corresponds to a time slice of AdS. Next, we derive a flow of quantum states by rewriting the action of Killing vectors of AdS3 in terms of the dual 2d CFT. Both approaches support a correspondence between the hyperbolic time slice H2 in AdS3 and a version of continuous MERA (cMERA). We also give a heuristic argument why we can expect a sub-AdS scale bulk locality for holographic CFTs.
We comment on the status of Steinmann-like constraints, i.e. all-loop constraints on consecutive entries of the symbol of scattering amplitudes and Feynman integrals in planar ${cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills, which have been crucial for the recent progr ess of the bootstrap program. Based on physical discontinuities and Steinmann relations, we first summarize all possible double discontinuities (or first-two-entries) for (the symbol of) amplitudes and integrals in terms of dilogarithms, generalizing well-known results for $n=6,7$ to all multiplicities. As our main result, we find that extended-Steinmann relations hold for all finite integrals that we have checked, including various ladder integrals, generic double-pentagon integrals, as well as finite components of two-loop NMHV amplitudes for any $n$; with suitable normalization such as minimal subtraction, they hold for $n=8$ MHV amplitudes at three loops. We find interesting cancellation between contributions from rational and algebraic letters, and for the former we have also tested cluster-adjacency conditions using the so-called Sklyanin brackets. Finally, we propose a list of possible last-two-entries for $n$-point MHV amplitudes derived from $bar{Q}$ equations, which can be used to reduce the space of functions for higher-point MHV amplitudes.
