The Wheeler–DeWitt equation ℋΨ=0 for the wave function of the Universe Ψ can be written, in the Friedmann space–time (mini-superspace approximation) [Formula: see text], as the Schrödinger equation [Formula: see text], where ξ≡ dα/dt. The meaning of the pseudo-Hamiltonian [Formula: see text], which reduces to the potential V at low energies, is discussed both classically and quantum theoretically, this equation gives rise to a local gravitational Schrödinger equation which has been verified in the neutron interferometry experiment of Colella et al. By demanding the existence of a global ground state with nonvanishing probability density ΨΨ* for which V=0 (implying the vanishing of the cosmological constant), we argue that this experiment also constitutes evidence for the whole quantization procedure.

By demanding the existence of a globally invariant ground-state solution of the Wheeler–De Witt equation (Schrödinger equation) for the wave function of the Universe Ψ, obtained from the heterotic superstring theory, in the four-dimensional Friedmann space-time, we prove that the cosmological vacuum energy has to be zero.

Hyperspherical harmonics expansion (HHE) method has been applied to study the structure and ΛΛ dynamics for the ground and first excited states of low and medium mass double-Λ hypernuclei in the framework of core+Λ+Λ three-body model. The ΛΛ potential is chosen phenomenologically while core-Λ potential is obtained by folding the phenomenological Λ N interaction into the density distribution of the core. The parameters of this effective Λ N potential is obtained by the condition that they reproduce the experimental (or empirical) data for core-Λ subsystem. The three-body (core+Λ+Λ) Schrödinger equation is solved by hyperspherical adiabatic approximation (HAA) to get the ground state energy and wave function. This ground state energy and wave function are used to construct a partner potential. The three-body Schrödinger equation is solved once again for this partner potential. According to supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the ground state energy of this potential is exactly the same as that of the first excited state of the potential used in the first step. In addition to the two-Λ separation energy for the ground and first excited state, some geometrical quantities for the ground state of double-Λ hypernuclei [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are computed. These include the ΛΛ bond energy and various r.m.s. radii.

The  Schrödinger equation based on the concept of minimal length formalism has been obtained for modified Coulomb potential. The wave function and energy spectra were used to describe the characteristic of sub-atomic particle. By using hypergeometry method, we obtained the approximate analytical solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation based on the concept of minimal length formalism for the modified Coulomb potential. The wave function and energy spectra was solved. The result showed that the value of energy increased by the increasing both of minimal length parameter and the potential parameter. Key words: Schrödinger equation, minimal length formalism (MLF), wave function, energy spectra, Modified Coulomb potential

In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger equation (0.1) − Δ u − μ u | x | 2 + V ( x ) u = K ( x ) | u | 2 ∗ − 2 u + f ( x , u ) , x ∈ R N , u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where N ⩾ 4, 0 ⩽ μ < μ ‾, μ ‾ = ( N − 2 ) 2 4 , V is periodic in x, K and f are asymptotically periodic in x, we take advantage of the generalized Nehari manifold approach developed by Szulkin and Weth to look for the ground state solution of (0.1).
