In this paper, we systematically calculate the polarization in soft X-rays emitted from magnetized neutron stars, which are expected to be observed by the next-generation X-ray satellites. Magnetars are one of the targets for these…
We develop a theory of the half-filled Landau level which shows that it is a two-component fluid. One of the components has spin up and the other spin down so that the electron-spin resonance can occur. The 1/3 filled level is fully spin…
We extend our holographic analysis of the emission of photons by a strongly coupled plasma subject to a very intense external magnetic field. We previously showed that in a particular model, any photon produced by the plasma had to be in…
In this paper, we study the problem of image recovery from given partial (corrupted) observations. Recovering an image using a low-rank model has been an active research area in data analysis and machine learning. But often, images are not…

We derive a closed analytical expression for the exchange energy of the three-dimensional interacting electron gas in strong magnetic fields, which goes beyond the quantum limit (L=0) by explicitly including the effect of the second, L=1,…
In this paper we study the polarized vacuum energy on the conducting surface of a topological insulator characterized by both $Z_2$ topological index and time reversal symmetry. This boundary is subject to the action of a static and…
Scalar fields like dilaton appear in quantum field theory (QFT) due to scale symmetry breaking. Their appeal also extends to modified theories of gravity, like $F(R)$ gravity, Horva Lifshitz gravity etc. In unified theories they make their…

Physics of two-dimensional electron gases under perpendicular magnetic field often displays three distinct stages when increasing the field amplitude: a low field regime with classical magnetotransport, followed at intermediate field by a…
We compute the one loop vacuum polarization from massless, minimally coupled scalar QED in a locally de Sitter background. Gauge invariance is maintained through the use of dimensional regularization, whereas conformal invariance is…
A feature of the "modern theory" is that electric polarization is not well-defined in a metallic ground state. A different approach invokes the general existence of a complete set of exponentially localized Wannier functions, with respect…
The renormalization of MZV was until now carried out by algebraic means. We show that renormalization in general, of the multiple zeta functions in particular, is more than mere convention. We show that simple calculus methods allow us to…
Three-photon vertex in a dense degenerated plasma is calculated. It is discovered the polarization tensor has the longitudinal part which makes possible an interaction between transverse and longitudinal modes in the medium. Using…
A connection of a variety of tight-binding models of noninteracting electrons on a rectangular lattice in a magnetic field with theta functions is established. A new spectrum generating symmetry is discovered which essentialy reduces the…
Gamma-rays from pulsars can be efficiently attenuated in their magnetospheres via the mechanism of single-photon pair production and also the exotic QED process of photon splitting, which become prolific in fields approaching the quantum…
By analyzing the external field dependence of correlation functions, the magnetic properties of hadrons can be determined using lattice QCD in magnetic fields. To compute the magnetic moments and polarizabilities of charged hadrons, for…
