This scheme successively removes an infrared cut off in momentum space and yields a convergent algorithm enabling us to calculate the resonance eigenvalues and eigenstates, to arbitrary order in the feinstructure constant $\\alpha \\sim 1/137$, and is thus an alternative method of proof of a similar result obtained in \\cite{Sigal2010}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-02-12T15:50:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantized radiation field", "construction", "nonrelativistic atom", "iteration scheme" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 116, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.2829B" } } }
