We analyze the dynamical Casimir effect for a massless scalar field confined between two concentric spherical shells which impose on the field mixed boundary conditions. We thus complement a previous result [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{78}, 032521…
The Dirac equation in a chromomagnetic field is solved for colored particle moving in a limited space volume. Quantized energy levels and the corresponding wave functions are found for backgrounds both directed along third axes and having…
We show that large scale oscillons, i.e., quasi-periodic, long living particle like solutions, may exist in massless theories, too. Their existence is explained using an effective (smeared) mass threshold which takes into account nonlinear…
We present a quantum-field-theoretic treatment of massive chiral fields in which particles possess well-defined chirality and helicity. This framework reproduces the chiral oscillation formula previously obtained in first-quantized…
We argue that symmetry and unification can emerge as byproducts of certain physical constraints on dynamical scattering. To accomplish this we parameterize a general Lorentz invariant, four-dimensional theory of massless and massive scalar…
We show that the Wigner equations describing the continuous spin representations can be obtained as a limit of massive higher-spin field equations. The limit involves a suitable scaling of the wave function, the mass going to zero and the…
The cross-couplings among several massless spin-two fields (described in the free limit by a sum of Pauli-Fierz actions) in the presence of a Dirac field are investigated in the framework of the deformation theory based on local BRST…
Within the recently proposed structure-inclusive algebraic formulation of quantum field theory, we show that a massless particle can acquire mass by special nonlinear coupling to a universal massless scalar field; establishing an…
We argue that Dark Matter can be described by an interacting field theory with a mass parameter of the order of the proton mass and an interaction coupling of the order of the QED coupling.
We consider $(2+1)$ dimensional massless Dirac equation in the presence of complex vector potentials. It is shown that such vector potentials (leading to complex magnetic fields) can produce bound states and the Dirac Hamiltonians are…
A single master equation is given describing spin $s\le2$ test fields that are gauge- and tetrad-invariant perturbations of the {\it spinning C metric} spacetime representing a source with mass $M$, uniformly rotating with angular momentum…
We show how the pseudo-linear interactions for spin-2 particles can be straightforwardly extended to include multiple massive and massless fields without introducing ghosts. When massive spin-2 fields are included, these give simple…
We perform a detailed analysis of Galilean field theories, starting with free theories and then interacting theories. We consider non-relativistic versions of massless scalar and Dirac field theories before we go on to review our previous…
There were many attempts to geometrize electromagnetic field and find out new interpretation for quantum mechanics formalism. The distinctive feature of this work is that it combines geometrization of electromagnetic field and…
Gauge theories with compact symmetry groups possess topologically non-trivial configurations of gauge field. This has dramatic implications for the vacuum structure of Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) and for the behavior of QCD plasma, as…
We present a model-independent argument showing that massless particles interacting with gravity in a Minkowski background space can have at most spin two. This result is proven by extending a famous theorem due to Weinberg and Witten to…
We give the exact solution of classical equation of motion of a quartic scalar massless field theory showing that this is massive and is represented by a superposition of free particle solutions with a discrete spectrum. Then we show that…
The difficulties with which the concept of point-like particles is beset, such as the infinities encountered in the existing theories of elementary particles, suggest a different approach to the study of these particles. Instead of…
Massive and massless Dirac equations with Lorentz-covariant cubic nonlinearities are considered in spatial dimension $d=2,3$. Global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for small initial data in scale-invariant Sobolev spaces and…
