The variational method in a reformulated Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory is used to derive relativistic few-body wave equations for scalar and Fermion fields. Analytic and approximate solutions of some two-body bound states are presented.PACS Nos.: 03.65.Pm, 03.65.Ge, 03.70.+k, 11.10.Ef, 11.10.St, 11.15.Tk, 36.10.Dr

We derive relativistic three-particle wave equations for scalar particles [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], interacting via a massive or massless scalar field, χ. The variational method, within the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory, is used to obtain the equations using a simple [Formula: see text] Ansatz. Approximate solutions of these equations are presented for various strengths of the coupling. The magnitude of the relativistic effects in the three-particle energies and wave functions is illustrated by comparison with nonrelativistic results.

We study the interparticle potentials for few-particle systems in a scalar theory with a nonlinear mediating field of the Higgs type. We use the variational method, in a reformulated Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory, to derive relativistic three- and four-particle wave equations for stationary states of these systems. We show that the cubic and quartic nonlinear terms modify the attractive Yukawa potentials but do not change the attractive nature of the interaction if the mediating fields are massive.

We derive relativistic particle–antiparticle wave equations for scalar particles, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], interacting via a massive or massless scalar field, χ (the Wick–Cutkosky model). The variational method, within the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory is used to derive equations with and without coupling of this quasi-bound [Formula: see text] system to the χχ decay channel. Bound-state energies in the massless case are compared with the ladder Bethe–Salpeter and light-cone results. In the case of coupling to the decay channel, the quasi-bound [Formula: see text] states are seen to arise as resonances in the χχ scattering cross section. Numerical results are presented for the massive and massless χ case.

We study a system of two Higgs bound state, interacting via a real scalar dark matter (DM) mediating field, without imposing Z2 symmetry on the DM sector of the postulated Lagrangian. The variational method in the Hamiltonian formalism of QFT is used to derive relativistic wave equations for the two-Higgs system, using a truncated Fock space trial state. Approximate solutions of the two-body relativistic coupled integral equations are presented, and conditions for the existence of Higgs bound states are examined in a broad parameter space of DM mass and coupling constants.

We discuss a variational method for describing relativistic four-body systems within the Hamiltonian formalism of quantum field theory. The scalar Yukawa (or Wick–Cutkosky) model, in which scalar particles and antiparticles interact via a massive or massless scalar field, is used to illustrate the method. A Fock-space variational trial state is used to describe the stationary states of scalar quadronium (two particles and two antiparticles) interacting via one-quantum exchange and virtual annihilation pairwise interactions. Numerical results for the ground-state mass and approximate wave functions of quadronium are presented for various strengths of the coupling, for the massive and massless quantum exchange cases.

A systematic discussion of the probability of eta and KL bound-state decays—[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text](l=e, μ)—within a three-dimensional reduction to the two-body quantum field theory is presented. The bound-state vertex function depends on the relative momentum of constituent-like particles. A structure-transition form factor is defined by a confinement-type quark-antiquark wave function. The phenomenology of this kind of decays is analyzed.
