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 consider a system of many fermionic tachyons coupled to a scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and pseudovector fields. The scalar and pseudoscalar fields are responsible for the effective mass, while the pseudovector field is similar to…
The authors claim to have found a "proper", "gauge-invariant" definition of a charged-particle's momentum in gauge theory, which is more "superior" than the textbook version. I show that their result arises from a misunderstanding of gauge…
We extend the analysis of hep-th/0304045 to the bosonic case and find the one-derivative effective action valid in the vicinity of rolling tachyons with an energy not larger than that of the original D-brane. For on-shell tachyons rolling…
We consider an ideal Fermi gas of tachyonic thermal excitations as a continuous medium and establish when it satisfies the causality condition. At high temperature the sound speed is always subluminal $c_s<1$, but there is no stable form of…
Recently effective actions have been extensively used to describe tachyon condensation in string theory. While the various effective actions which have appeared in the literature have very similar properties for static configurations, they…
We discuss several results in electrostatics: Onsager's inequality, an extension of Earnshaw's theorem, and a result stemming from the celebrated conjecture of Maxwell on the number of points of electrostatic equilibrium. Whenever possible,…
Here we comment on the paper by Arthur D. Yaghjian, Phys. Rev. E 78, 046606 (2008) (arXiv:0805.0142). The author provides an equation of motion for a point charged particle in a certain regime of system parameters (on the other hand,…
Using the results of previous investigations on sine-Gordon form factors exact expressions of all breather matrix elements are obtained for several operators: all powers of the fundamental bose field, general exponentials of it, the energy…
It is shown that calculation of the momentum Fisher information of the quasione- dimensional hydrogen atom recently presented by Saha et al (2017 Eur. J. Phys. {\bf 38} 025103) is wrong. A correct derivation is provided and its didactical…
In this paper the existence of the thermal tachyons i.e. quanta of temperature field, with is described in the theoretical frame of hyperbolic thermal equation. The modified Lorentz transformation are developed. It is argued that thermal…
We show that the open string worldsheet description of brane decay (discussing a specific example of a rolling tachyon background) can be related to a sequence of points of thermodynamic equilibrium of a grand canonical ensemble of point…
Quantum field theory of space-like particles is investigated in the framework of absolute causality scheme preserving Lorentz symmetry. It is related to an appropriate choice of the synchronization procedure (definition of time). In this…
It is shown that the tachyons which originate from unstable D-branes carry energy and momentum at the velocity $\beta = c^2/v,$ where $v$ is the phase velocity which is greater than $c.$ For an observer who moves with the velocity $\beta,$…
We study the dynamics of the tachyon field $T$. We derive the mass of the tachyon as the pole of the propagator which does not coincide with the standard mass given in the literature in terms of the second derivative of $V(T)$ or…
A model for the universe on the basis of a self interacting fermionic tachyon field is investigated here. It is shown that, devising a self interaction potential of a proper form, the fermionic tachyon field is capable of producing an…
A tachyon field having a negative squared-mass $-m_t^2$ can be described in terms of massless fields degenerating infinitely with respect to helicities. This picture for tachyons does not contradict causality. It is seen that the tachyon…
The article by Holmlid and Zeiner-Gundersen (2019, Physica Scripta, vol. 94, 075005) contains a number of claims that explicitly or implicitly contradict fundamental knowledge of modern science. Some can only be true if long held…
We compute the one-loop corrections to the tachyon potentials in both, bosonic and supersymmetric, cases by worldsheet methods. In the process, we also get some insight on tachyon condensation from the viewpoint of closed string modes and…
Based on the kinetic energy theorem, as one of the fundamental theorems from the classical mechanics, throughout the first part of the article an attempt has been made to derive the mathematical model of a material point motion in the…
