It is common practice to take for granted the equality (up to the constant $\varepsilon_0$) of the electric displacement ($\bf{D}$) and electric ($\bf{E}$) field vectors in vacuum. The same happens with the magnetic field ($\bf{H}$) and the…
We have calculated the decay $\tau \rightarrow \nu \pi(K) \gamma$. We present the photon energy spectrum, the meson-photon invariant mass spectrum and the integrated rate as a function of a photon energy cut or an invariant mass cut. Both…
In this paper we study the Dirac field theory interacting with external gravitation field, described with tetrad of the form $e_b^\mu(x)=\varepsilon(\delta_b^\mu+\omega_{ba}^\mu x^a)$, where $\varepsilon=1$ for $\mu=0$ and $\varepsilon=i$…
The purpose of this work in to analyze particle creation in spaces with extra dimensions. We consider, in particular, a massive scalar field propagating in a Kaluza-Klein manifold subject to a constant electric field. We compute the rate of…
The effect of a spatially modulated magnetic field on the weak localization phenomenon in two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is studied. Both the dephasing time $\tau_H$ and magnetoresistance are shown to reveal a nontrivial behavior as…
