This is the second in a series of two papers. While in Paper I we derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations and study their flow terms, here we address the collision terms. We use a model Lagrangean, in which fermions couple to…
We explore the possible phases of a condensed dark matter (DM) candidate taken to be in the form of a fermion with a Yukawa coupling to a scalar particle, at zero temperature but at finite density. This theory essentially depends on only…
We present a study of the decay of metastable states of a scalar field via thermal activation, in the presence of a finite density of fermions. The process we consider is the nucleation of ``{\it droplets}'' of true vacuum inside the false…
The behaviour of fermions in the background of a double-step potential is analyzed with a general mixing of scalar and vector couplings via continuous chiral-conjugation transformation. Provided the vector coupling does not exceed the…

We study numerically on the lattice the 2D Yukawa model with the U(1) chiral symmetry and $N_F$ = 16 at infinite scalar field self-coupling. The scaling behaviour of the fermion mass, as the Yukawa coupling approaches zero, is analysed…

We study the dynamics of a second order phase transition in a situation thatmimics a sudden quench to a temperature below the critical temperature in a model with dynamical symmetry breaking. In particular we show that the domains of…
We study the 1+1 dimensional Yukawa theory, in a certain limit of its parameters g,M,m (as suggested by the study of causality in presence of bound states in this model). We study the bound state formation in the model. In the limit…
For a lattice regularized chiral-invariant $SU(2)_L\times~SU(2)_R$ fermion-scalar model with a Yukawa coupling $y$ and a Wilson-Yukawa coupling $w$, we investigate the phase structure and in particular show the existence of the…
A system of Schwinger-Dyson equations for pseudoscalar four-dimensional Yukawa model in the two-particle approximation is investigated. The simplest iterative solution of the system corresponds to the mean-field approximation (or,…
In this work we study modifications of the spectrum of fermions interacting with kinklike structures in two-dimensional spacetime. We consider the Yukawa coupling between fermions and scalar fields that engender nontrivial internal…
Functional Renormalisation Group (FRG) equations are constructed for a simple Yukawa-model with discrete chiral symmetry, including also the effect of a nonzero composite fermion background beyond the conventional scalar condensate. The…
In cosmological context, classical scalar fields are important ingredients for inflation models, many candidate models of dark energy, symmetry breaking and phase transition epochs, and their consequences such as baryo and lepto-genesis. We…
We investigate the scalar meson mass dependence on the chiral phase transition in the framework of an SU(3), (axial)vector meson extended linear sigma model with additional constituent quarks and Polyakov loops. We determine the parameters…
The Polyakov loop and the chiral condensate are used as order parameters to explore analytically the possible phase structure of finite temperature QCD. Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models in a background temporal gauge field are combined with a…

Yukawa's old bilocal field theory, with modernization in the treatment of "relative time," can describe a relativistic bound state of chiral fermions. This connects to bosonized effective chiral Lagrangians and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL)…
In the paper a generalization of the (1+1)-dimensional model by Chodos et al [Phys. Rev. D61, 045011 (2000)] has been performed to the case of (2+1)-dimensional spacetime. The model includes four-fermion interaction both in the…
