We develop the exact renormalization group approach as a way to evaluate the effective speed of propagation of a scalar wave in a medium with random inhomogeneities. We use the Martin-Siggia-Rose formalism to translate the problem into a…
We apply the Effective Field Theory approach to General Relativity, introduced by Goldberger and Rothstein, to study point-like and string-like sources in the context of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Within this framework we compute…
The numerical calculation of gravitational self-force in extreme mass ratio inspiral systems is fundamentally challenging due to the singular nature of point-particle sources. To overcome these difficulties, the effective source method…
Exact procedures that follow Dirac's constraint quantization of gauge theories are usually technically involved and often difficult to implement in practice. We overview an "effective" scheme for obtaining the leading order semiclassical…
By combining stability analysis of scalar field theories with the Darboux transformation technique, we create models featuring kink-like solutions whose quantum perturbations are all bounded. On the one hand, the stability analysis relates…
A scalar charged particle moving in a curved background spacetime will emit a field affecting its own motion; the resolving of this resulting motion is often referred to as the self-force problem. This also serves as a toy model for the…

We propose a method of Casimir pressure renormalization for massive scalar field in a ball. This method is slightly different from the generally accepted. An alternative way of choosing the normalization point leads to an exponential…
A new way how to calculate the off-shell renormalization functions within the $R^2$-gravity has been proposed. The one-loop renormalization group equations in the approach suggested have been constructed. The behaviour of effective…
By employing a pseudo-orthonormal coordinate-free approach, the Dirac equation for particles in the Kerr--Newman spacetime is separated into its radial and angular parts. In the massless case to which a special attention is given, the…
The Lorentz law of force is the fifth pillar of classical electrodynamics, the other four being Maxwell's macroscopic equations. The Lorentz law is the universal expression of the force exerted by electromagnetic fields on a volume…
Resonance plays critical roles in the formation of many physical phenomena, and many techniques have been developed for the exploration of resonance. In a recent letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 062502 (2016)], we proposed a new method for…
