For a long time very little experimental information was available about neutrino properties, even though a minute neutrino mass has intriguing cosmological and astrophysical implications. This situation has changed in recent decades:…
Quantum dynamical semigroups provide a general framework for studying the evolution of open systems. Neutrino propagation both in vacuum and in matter can be analyzed using these techniques: they allow a consistent treatment of…

We construct the instantaneous vacuum state for a quantum scalar field coupled to another classical scalar field as described in [1]. We then compare it with the state of low energy constructed for a particular solution. We show that under…
The features of vacuum particle creation in an external classical field are studied for simplest external field models in $3 + 1$ dimensional QED. The investigation is based on a kinetic equation that is a nonperturbative consequence of the…
We construct a particular class of quantum states for a massless, minimally coupled free scalar field which are of the form of a superposition of the vacuum and multi-mode two-particle states. These states can exhibit local negative energy…
A new model to calculate the rate of nucleation is formulated. This model is based on the classical nucleation theory but considers also vapor depletion around the formed embryo. As the result the free energy has to be recalculated which…
It is discussed that the usual Heisenberg commutation relation (CR) is not a proper relation for massless particles and then an alternative is obtained. The canonical quantization of the free electromagnetic(EM)fields based on the field…
Discussed is relationship between nonlinearity and symmetry of dynamical models. The special stress is laid on essential, non-perturbative nonlinearity, when none linear background does exist. This is nonlinearity essentially different from…
We give an introduction to phase transitions in the steady states of systems that evolve stochastically with equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics, the latter defined as those that do not possess a time-reversal symmetry. We try as much…
We analyse the massless wave equation on a class of two dimensional manifolds consisting of an arbitrary number of topological cylinders connected to one or more topological spheres. Such manifolds are endowed with a degenerate…

We describe a force-free phase shift due only to temporal geometric boundary conditions placed on a neutron deBroglie wave packet.
We show that pure, quasifree states, as well as regular (i.e., those with a unique vacuum) quasifree ground and KMS states, for linear quantum fields in a curved spacetime, are always continuous in the sense of distributions, and provide…

The topological sigma model with the semi-infinite cigar-like target space (black hole geometry) is considered. The model is shown to possess unsuppressed instantons. The noncompactness of the moduli space of these instantons is responsible…
Regimes of Lorentz-violating effective field theories are studied in which departures from Lorentz symmetry are nonperturbative. Within a free toy theory exhibiting Lorentz breakdown involving an operator of mass dimension three, it is…
