The assumption that the Weinberg rotation between the gauge fields associated with the third component of the ``weak isospin" ($T_3$) and the hypercharge ($Y$) proceeds in a natural way from a global homomorphism of the $SU(2)\otimes U(1)$…
Topological phases of electrons such as topological insulators and quantum Hall states typically require strong spin-orbit coupling or magnetic fields. In this study, we consider an electron system coupled to a spin system, where electrons…
The standard model of electroweak interactions is minimally coupled to gravity and the response of the spherically symmetric solutions -the sphaleron and the bisphaleron- to gravity is emphasized. For a given value of the Higgs mass $M_H$,…
Polarons and spin-orbit (SO) coupling are distinct quantum effects that play a critical role in charge transport and spin-orbitronics. Polarons originate from strong electron-phonon interaction and are ubiquitous in polarizable materials…
A numerical study of static, spherically symmetric sphaleron solutions in the standard model coupled to the dilaton field is presented. We show that sphaleron is surrounded by strong dilaton cloud which vanishes inside the sphaleron.
We study an interplay between the orbital degeneracy and spin-orbit coupling giving rise to spin-orbital entangled states. As a specific example, we analyze the interaction of electrons occupying triply degenerate single-ion $t_{2g}$ levels…
We evaluate the charge and longitudinal spin response functions of a two-dimensional electron gas with $e^2/r$ interactions in an arbitrary state of spin polarization, using a structurally self-consistent approach to treat exchange and…
Spin waves (SW) are the excitation of the spin system in a ferromagnetic condensed matter body. They are collective excitations of the electron system and, from a quasi-classical point of view, can be understood as a coherent precession of…

Theoretical arguments suggest that the Higgs sector of the standard model is an effective theory. We parametrize the new physics by means of an effective Lagrangian technique and study its effect on the energy of the electroweak sphaleron.…
Using lattice simulations, we measure the sphaleron rate in the Standard Model as a function of temperature through the electroweak cross-over, for the Higgs masses m_H=115 and m_H=160 GeV. We pay special attention to the shutting off of…
