• Abstract: The fractional Schrödinger equation is studied with a kinetic energy that slightly deviates from the usual nonrelativistic form. The harmonic oscillator and the Kepler problem are both treated in the context of small perturbations. The usual perturbation theory is used and compared with the envelope theory. The analytical results show good agreement between both methods, indicating possible future developments for many-body systems. A possible connection with experimental observations is briefly discussed.

  We study the propagator of the $1+1$ dimensional Salpeter Hamiltonian, describing a relativistic quantum particle with no spin. The analytical extension of the Hamiltonian in the complex plane allows us to formulate the equivalent problem, namely the B"aumer equation. This B"aumera corresponds to the Green function of a relativistic diffusion process that interpolates between Cauchy for small times and Gaussian diffusion for large times.

• Finite perturbation theory for the relativistic Coulomb problem [0.0]
  We present a novel form of relativistic quantum mechanics and demonstrate how to solve it using a recently derived unitary perturbation theory. We find that this perturbation theory gives finite results at second order. We calculate differential cross sections in the nonrelativistic regime, where we find excellent agreement with the Rutherford formula. Then, well into the relativistic regime, we find differential cross sections with shapes similar to the Moller formula and differing from that formula by less than an order of magnitude.
