We suggest a framework based on the rainbow approximation to the Dyson–Schwinger and Bethe–Salpeter equations with effective parameters adjusted to lattice QCD data to calculate the masses of the ground and excited states of pseudo-scalar glueballs. The structure of the truncated Bethe–Salpeter equation with the gluon and ghost propagators as solutions of the truncated Dyson–Schwinger equations is

It was found that NN potential could influence the results of the quasi-bound state search in the \(K^- d\) system, where the corresponding pole is situated close to the threshold. Three-body Faddeev-type calculations of the \(\bar{K}NN - \pi \varSigma N\) system performed with a new model of nucleon-nucleon interaction predict the existence of the quasi-bound \(K^- d\) state caused by strong interactions

We study central configurations of 5-body problem with one dominant particle and four infinitesimal particles. In 2013, Oliveira (Celest Mech Dyn Astron 116:11–20, 2013) showed that the configurations are symmetric when two infinitesimal particles are diametrically opposite. Moreover, in the case of these two particles have the same mass he proved that the number of central configurations is one or

In this study, we have extended the idea of fractional spin introduced recently in literature based on two orders fractional derivative operator. Generalizations of the fractional spin, the fractional angular momentum and the fractional momentum operators were obtained. The theory is characterized by a noncommutativity between the generalized fractional angular momentum and the fractional Hamiltonian

We discuss the stability of hidden and open heavy-flavor hadronic states made of either two or three mesons. References are made in passing to studies regarding two and three-body systems containing baryons. We perform a comparative study analyzing the results in terms of quark and hadron degrees of freedom. Compact and molecular states are found to exist in very specific situations. We estimate the

The hadronic vacuum polarization function \(\Pi _h\) for two light flavors is computed on the entire domain of spacelike and timelike momenta using a framework of Dyson–Schwinger equations. The analytical continuation of the function \(\Pi _h\) is based on the utilization of the Gauge Technique with the entry of QCD Green’s functions determined from generalized quark spectral functions. For the first

Properties of the positronium negative ion embedded in non-ideal classical plasmas have been studied theoretically. A pseudopotential, derived from a solution of Bogolyubov’s hierarchy equations, is used to describe the interaction potentials of the charged particles in the ion. A large basis set is employed in Rayleigh–Ritz variational method to compute accurately various quantities, such as binding

The explicit expression of the vibrational partition function for the modified Pöschl–Teller plus Woods–Saxon potential has been presented in a closed-form. The analytical expression for the vibrational mean energy have also been calculated were other thermodynamic functions like the vibrational specific heat, free energy, and the entropy for the gallium nitride wurtzite crystal structure have been

Since the pioneering work of Lüscher in the 1980s it is well known that considering quantum systems in finite volume, specifically, finite periodic boxes, can be used as a powerful computational tool to extract physical observables. While this formalism has been worked out in great detail in the two-body sector, much effort is currently being invested into deriving analogous relations for systems with

The eigensolutions of many-body quantum systems are always difficult to compute. The envelope theory is a method to easily obtain approximate, but reliable, solutions in the case of identical particles. It is extended here to treat systems with different particles (bosons or fermions). The accuracy is tested for several systems composed of identical particles plus a different one.

The Alt–Grassberger–Sandhas equations for the five-body problem are solved for the case of the driving two-body potentials limited to s-waves. The separable pole expansion method is employed to convert the equations into the effective quasi-two-body form. Numerical results are presented for five identical bosons as well as for the system containing an \(\eta \)-meson and four nucleons. Accuracy of

In this work we study the Schrödinger equation in the presence of the Hartmann potential with a generalized uncertainty principle. We pertubatively obtain the matrix elements of the hamiltonian at first order in the parameter of deformation \(\beta \) and show that some degenerate states are removed. We give analytic expressions for the solutions of the diagonal matrix elements. Finally, we derive

By attaining an accuracy of 30 significant figures, in the present work we have calculated the expectation values of \(\langle {r^{ - 2}}\rangle \) of a few states for the confined hydrogen atom and the confined harmonic oscillator, as a function of the confinement radius \(R_{c}\). In comparison to other calculations reported in the literature, our results are found to be more accurate. This numerical

We present and analyzed bi-circular restricted four-body problem model that accounts for dissipative forces. Specifically, the model for Sun–Earth–Moon-Spacecraft system is formulated with inclusion of Stokes drag and Poynting–Robertson (P–R) drag. The Lagrange points are seen to be dependent on the strength and the kind of the dissipative force involved, comparatively, the P–R drag is found to exert
