The quasi-metric manifold $\cal N$ is equipped with two one-parameter families of metric tensors ${\bf {\bar g}}_t$ and ${\bf g}_t$, each parametrized by the global time function $t$. Moreover, in $({\cal N},{\bf {\bar g}}_t)$ one must…

The one-loop divergences for the scalar field theory with Lorentz and/or CPT breaking terms are obtained in curved space-time. We analyze two separate cases: minimal coupled scalar field with gravity and nonminimal one. For the minimal case…

An accelerated charged particle emits electromagnetic radiation. If the driving force is sufficiently strong, the radiated energy becomes comparable to the kinetic energy of the particle and the back-action of the emitted radiation…
We study the classical and quantum mechanics of a free particle that collides elastically with the walls of a circular disk with the radius varying periodically in time. The quasi-energy spectral properties of the model are obtained from…

Classical radiation power from an accelerated massive charge diverges in the zero-mass limit, while some general arguments suggest that strictly massless charge does not not radiate at all. On the other hand, the regularized classical…
Large corrections to the inflationary tensor power spectrum have been speculated to emerge either as second-order scalar-induced classical effects, or as 1-loop quantum corrections. These two sources are not independent of each other.…
Quantum inequalities bound the extent to which weighted time averages of the renormalized energy density of a quantum field can be negative. They have mostly been proved in flat spacetime, but we need curved-spacetime inequalities to…
