Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance compatible with observational limits may realistically take place in the context of string theories, possibly endowing the photon with a mass. In this process the conformal symmetry of the…
Fast spinning magnetars are discussed as strong sources of high energy neutrinos. Pulsars may be born with a short rotation period of milliseconds with the magnetic field amplified through dynamo processes up to $\sim 10^{15}-10^{16} \rm…
Magnetars are a class of highly magnetized, slowly rotating neutron stars, only a small fraction of which exhibit radio emission. We propose that the coherent radio curvature emission is generated by net charge fluctuations from a…

We propose a new constraint on millicharged dark matter from considerations on galaxy clusters. The charged dark matter moves under the influence of the randomly oriented magnetic fields in galaxy clusters, and the corresponding dark matter…
It is generally recognized that the electromagnetic multipolar emission from magnetars can be used to explain radiation from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) or Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), but they have little impact on the spindown of…
We consider the formation of a ring-like magnetic field in collisions of bubbles of broken phase in an abelian Higgs model. Particular attention is paid on multiple collisions. The small collision velocity limit, appropriate to the…
Inspired by a question of Colin de Verdi\`{e}re and Truc we study the dynamics of a classical charged particle moving in a bounded planar domain $\Omega$ under the influence of a magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ which blows up at the boundary of…
This paper deals with situations that illustrate how the violation of Lorentz symmetry in the gauge sector may contribute to magnetic moment generation of massive neutral particles with spin-1/2 and spin-1. The procedure we adopt here is…
The interaction of electrically charged particles in a dilute gas of point--like magnetic dipoles is studied. We show that the interaction potential at small distances has a linear piece due to overlap of the dipole clouds gathered near…
We uncover a new superconducting state with partial spin polarization induced by a magnetic field. This state, which we call "magnonic superconductor", lacks a conventional pairing order parameter, but is characterized instead by a…
It is shown that external magnetic field or magnetization induces electric polarization of microscopic isolated magnetic/non-magnetic hybrid structures due to the spin-dependent electron redistribution and mutual capacity. The…
We update the bounds on fermions with electric charge $\epsilon e$ and mass $m_\epsilon$. For $m_\epsilon\lsim m_e$ we find $10^{-15}\lsim\epsilon<1$ is excluded by laboratory experiments, astrophysics and cosmology. For larger masses, the…
We consider nuclear gamma decays and $\gamma$-emitting reactions that can be an efficient source of hypothetical millicharged particles ($\chi$). In particular, we revisit the production of millicharged particles in nuclear reactor…
Magnetars, a population of isolated neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields of $\sim 10^{14}-10^{15}$ G, have been increasingly accepted to explain a variety of astrophysical transients. A nascent millisecond-period magnetar can…
We derive a many-particle inseparability criterion for mixed states using the relation between single-mode and many-particle nonclassicalities. It works very well not only in the vicinity of the Dicke states, but also for the superposition…
