We show how a medium, under the influece of a coherent control field which is resonant or close to resonance to an appropriate atomic transition, can lead to very strong asymmetries in the propagation of unpolarized light when the direction…

We find a unitary operator which asymptotically diagonalizes the Tomonaga-Luttinger hamiltonian of one-dimensional spinless electrons. The operator performs a Bogoliubov rotation in the space of electron-hole pairs. If bare interaction of…

Recently, there has been a revival of interest in mechanisms for changing the spin polarization of an electron beam on transmission through, or reflection from, a magnetic surface. An understanding of these mechanisms would allow the use of…

We consider an Electroweak string in the background of a uniform distribution of cold fermionic matter. As a consequence of the fermion number non-conservation in the Weinberg-Salam model, the string produces a long-range magnetic field.

A few years ago some attention has been given to a fermionic action on the lattice, with a Wilson-like term which is chirally invariant but breaks the hypercubic space-time lattice symmetry. This action describes two Dirac fields in the…

In preon models based on chiral gauge theories, we show that light composite fermions can ensue as a result of gauging a subset of preons in a vector-like manner. After demonstrating how this mechanism works in a toy example, we construct a…
