We study gauge theories with/without an extra dimension at finite temperature, in which there are two kinds of order parameters of gauge symmetry breaking. The one is the zero mode of the gauge field for the Euclidean time direction and the…
We investigate the behaviour of the eigenvalues of two-dimensional Pauli operators with nonconstant magnetic fields perturbed by a sign-indefinite decaying electric potential V. We prove new eigenvalues asymptotics.
We define the two dimensional Pauli operator and identify its core for magnetic fields that are regular Borel measures. The magnetic field is generated by a scalar potential hence we bypass the usual $\bA\in L^2_{loc}$ condition on the…
The presence of topological defects in magnetic media often leads to normal modes with zero frequency (zero modes). Such modes are crucial for long-time behavior, describing, for example, the motion of a domain wall as a whole. Conventional…
Recently Barrow, and Tsagas [Phys Rev D 77: 107302, (2008)] have shown that slow decay of cosmological magnetic slowly decay in FRW universes on curvature scales as $B\sim{a^{-1}}$ in the context of general relativity (GR). This helps…
We consider an electron with an anomalous magnetic moment, g>2, confined to a plane and interacting with a nonhomogeneous magnetic field B, and investigate the corresponding Pauli Hamiltonian. We prove a lower bound on the number of bound…
Zero modes arising from a planar Majorana equation in the presence of $N$ vortices require an $\mathcal{N}$-dimensional state-space, where $\mathcal{N} = 2^{N/2}$ for $N$ even and $\mathcal{N} = 2^{(N + 1)/2}$ for $N$ odd. The mode…
We study the existence of vortices of the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations in the two dimensional case. In particular we find sufficient conditions for the existence of vortices in the magneto-static case, i.e when the electric potential…
Magnetic fields in five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory compactified on a circle correspond to ``twisted'' identifications of five dimensional Minkowski space. We show that a five dimensional generalisation of the Kerr solution can be…
Metastable states decay at zero temperature through quantum tunneling at an exponentially small rate, which depends on the Coleman-de Luccia instanton, also known as bounce. In some theories, the bounce may not exist or its on-shell action…
The stability of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating stars is explored, using 3D numerical hydrodynamics to follow the evolution of an initial poloidal field. It is found that the field is subject to an instability, located initially on…
This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of the Neumann realization of the 2D magnetic Laplacian with semiclassical parameter h > 0 in the case when the magnetic field vanishes along a smooth curve which crosses itself inside a…
We measure the decay rates of magnetic field modes in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium below the dynamo threshold.We observe that turbulent fluctuations induce energy transfers between modes with different symmetries (dipolar and…
Hamiltonian models based on a localized basis set are widely used in condensed matter physics, as, for example, for the calculation of electronic structures or transport properties. The presence of a weak and homogeneous magnetic field can…
We consider an electron, spin 1/2, minimally coupled to the quantized radiation field in the nonrelativistic approximation, a situation defined by the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian $H$. There is no external potential and $H$ fibers as…
It is well-known that macroscopically-normalizable zero-energy wavefunctions of spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles in a two-dimensional inhomogeneous magnetic field are spin-polarized and exactly calculable with degeneracy equaling the number of…
We study the cosmological evolution of string/M moduli fields T. We use T-duality to fix the potential and show that the superpotential W is a function of the duality invariant function j(T) only. If W is given as a finite polynomial of j…

Fermion zero modes for abelian BPS monopoles are considered. In the spherically symmetric case the normalisable zero modes are determined for arbitrary monopole charge N. If N>1 the zero modes are zero along $N-1$ half-lines emanating from…
