In the first part of these lectures, I consider chiral perturbation theory in the presence of matter fields. It allows to systematically work out the consequences of the broken chiral symmetry of QCD. As examples, threshold pion photo- and…
The Higgs sector which is extended from the standard model could generally become an origin of CP violation. In the model with two doublet and one triplet Higgs fields on SU(2) symmetry, we study the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the…
The in-medium masses of the kaons and antikaons in strongly magnetized asymmetric nuclear matter are studied using a chiral SU(3) model. The medium modifications of the masses of these open strange pseudoscalar mesons arise due to their…
We provide a consistent and complete calculation of the electric dipole moments of the deuteron, helion, and triton in the framework of chiral effective field theory. The CP-conserving and CP-violating interactions are treated on equal…
We report on a search for a new, short-range, spin-dependent interaction using a modified version of the experimental apparatus used to measure the permanent neutron electric dipole moment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. This interaction,…
Electromagnetic radiation from superconducting cosmic string loops can reionize neutral hydrogen in the universe at very early epochs, and affect the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization correlation functions at…
It has been shown that CP violating electron-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon interactions can induce atomic electric dipole moments and are therefore constrained from experimental data. We show that using the experimental upper bounds on…
We show that the interaction of an axion field, or in general a pseudoscalar field, with the axial-vector current generated by an electron through a derivative-type coupling can give rise to a time-dependent mixing of opposite-parity states…
Two-dimensional (2D) metals can host gapless plasmonic excitations, which strongly couple to electrons and thus may significantly affect superconductivity in layered materials. To investigate the dynamical interplay of the electron-electron…
We evaluate several basic electrodynamic processes as modified by the presence of a very strong magnetic field, exceeding $B_{\rm Q} \equiv m^2/e = 4.4\times 10^{13}$ G. These results are needed to build models of dissipative phenomena…
The notion of a quasiparticle, such as a phonon, a roton, or a magnon, is used in modern condensed matter physics to describe an elementary collective excitation. The intrinsic zero-temperature magnon damping in quantum spin systems can be…
Three-dimensional electron phase space holes are shown to be positive charges on the plasma background which produce a radial electric field and force the trapped electron component into an azimuthal drift. In this way electron holes…
We examine a new class of CPT-even and dimension-five nonminimal interactions between fermions and photons, deprived of higher-order derivatives, yielding electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment in the context of the Dirac…
We study strong coupling phenomena in U(1) gauge theory on the non-commutative plane. To do so, we make use of a T-dual description in terms of an $N\to\infty$ limit of U(N) gauge theory on a commutative torus. The magnetic flux on this…
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects may be included in physical processes of magnetar and pulsar magnetospheres with strong magnetic fields. Involving the quantum corrections, the Maxwell electrodynamics is modified to non-linear…
The transport properties of interacting electrons for which the spin degree of freedom is taken into account are numerically studied for small two dimensional diffusive clusters. On-site electron-electron interactions tend to delocalize the…
We consider a clean two-dimensional interacting electron gas subject to a random perpendicular magnetic field, h({\bf r}). The field is nonquantizing, in the sense, that {\cal N}_h-a typical flux into the area \lambda_{\text{\tiny F}}^2 in…
The universe cools down monotonically following its expansion.This generates a sequence of phase transitions. If a second order phase transition happens during the radiation dominated era with a charged order parameter, spinodal…
We present a study of the magnetic-field effect on spin correlations in the charge ordered triangular Ising system LuFe2O4+{\delta} through single crystal neutron diffraction. In the absence of a magnetic field, the strong diffuse neutron…
The 2D Hubbard model with large repulsion is a central and yet unsolved problem in condensed matter physics for decades. The challenge appears below half filling, where the system is a doped antiferromagnet. In this regime, the fermion…
