We provide a mathematically rigorous derivation of the first order expansion of the motion of a charged particle in a strong magnetic field. In contrast to the derivations that can be found in the physics literature we solely assume…
We re-evaluate the electromagnetic corrections to eta --> 3 pi decays at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, arguing that effects of order e^2(m_d-m_u) disregarded so far are not negligible compared to other contributions of…
Recently we have computed the third order corrections to the ground state energy of the arbitrarily polarized diluted gas of spin 1/2 fermions interacting through a spin-independent repulsive two-body potential. Here we extend this result…
We calculate the Casimir interaction energy in $d=2$ spatial dimensions between two (zero-width) mirrors, one flat, and the other slightly curved, upon which {\em imperfect\/} conductor boundary conditions are imposed for an Electromagnetic…
In this article we analyze the role of an external electric field, in the weak field approximation, on $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths. The discussion is presented in the frame of the linear sigma model. To achieve this, we take into account…

The hyperfine structure (HFS) of a bound electron is modified by the self-interaction of the electron with its own radiation field. This effect is known as the self-energy correction. In this work, we discuss the evaluation of higher-order…
We calculate the large-$N$ expansion of the sphere free energy $F=-\log Z_{S^d}$ of the O(N) $\phi^4$ and the Gross-Neveu $(\bar{\psi} \psi)^2$ CFTs to order $1/N$. Analytic regularization of these theories requires consistently shifting…

The helical Dirac states on the surface of a topological insulator are protected by topology and display significant particle-hole asymmetry. This asymmetry arises from a subdominant Schr\"{o}dinger type contribution to the Hamiltonian…
We examine physical aspects for the electric version of a recently proposed logarithmic electrodynamics, for which the electric field of a point-like charge is finite at the origin. It is shown that this electrodynamics displays the vacuum…
Radiation domination at the electroweak epoch is a simplifying assumption, but one for which there is no observational basis. Treating the expansion rate as a variable, I re-examine electroweak baryogenesis in various scenarios. At a first…
The behavior of the electromagnetic field near a common edge of a resistive half-plane and a perfectly conducting wedge is investigated. The possible appearance besides power terms also of logarithmic functions in the field expansions at…

For lambda phi^4 models, the introduction of a large field cutoff improves significantly the accuracy that can be reached with perturbative series but the calculation of the modified coefficients remains a challenging problem. We show that…
A new scheme for the numerical evaluation of the one-loop self-energy correction to all orders in Z \alpha is presented. The scheme proposed inherits the attractive features of the standard potential-expansion method but yields a…
