When the Zeeman energy approaches the characteristic kinetic energy of electrons, Landau quantization becomes important. In the vicinity of magnetars, the Zeeman energy can even be relativistic. We start from the Dirac equation and derive a…

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…

Detailed study of the energy and momentum carried by the electromagnetic field can be a source of clues to possible new physics underlying the Maxwell Equations. But such study has been impeded by expressions for the parameters of the…
We study a specific correction to the Bethe logarithm induced by potentials which are proportional to a Dirac-delta function in coordinate space ("local potentials"). Corrections of this type occur naturally in the calculation of various…
We consider the two-dimensional ideal Fermi gas subject to a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the Euclidean plane $\mathbb R^2$ and whose strength $B(x)$ at $x\in\mathbb R^2$ converges to some $B_0>0$ as $\|x\|\to\infty$.…
In this paper noncommutative gravity is constructed as a gauge theory of the noncommutative SO(2,3) group, while the noncommutativity is canonical (constant). The Seiberg-Witten map is used to express noncommutative fields in terms of the…
Our aim is to contribute to quantum field theory (QFT) formalisms useful for descriptions of short time phenomena, dominant especially in heavy ion collisions. We formulate out-of-equilibrium QFT within the finite-time-path formalism (FTP)…
This is the second of two companion papers on computing the self-force in a radiation gauge; more precisely, the method uses a radiation gauge for the radiative part of the metric perturbation, together with an arbitrarily chosen gauge for…
After having obtained previously an extended first approximation of Maxwell's equations in Fock's nonlinear relativity, we propose here the corresponding exact form. In order to achieve this goal, we were inspired mainly by the special…

Outer crusts of neutron stars and interiors of cool white dwarfs consist of bare atomic nuclei, arranged in a crystal lattice and immersed in a Fermi gas of degenerate electrons. We study electrostatic properties of such Coulomb crystals,…
