Many-particle Hamiltonians

This collection deals with several different topics related to the construction and spectral analysis of Hamiltonians of various systems arising in mathematical physics. Included are a study of the disposition and character of resonances for certain operators, with applications to solid body physics; a survey of work in the perturbation of Hamiltonians in fermion systems; an examination of the construction of the Hamiltonian for three different pointwise interacting quantum particles; and a study of the lower branches of the Hamiltonian of the lattice model for chromodynamics. The final paper presents an extensive survey of problems related to the spectrum of finite-particle lattice Hamiltonians, which arise in quantum field theory and in models in the theory of solid bodies. The book provides an introduction of sorts to a series of new methods and problems in mathematical physics.
