Recently, the topic of Casimir repulsion has received a great deal of attention, largely because of the possibility of technological application. The general subject has a long history, going back to the self-repulsion of a conducting…
Finite-volume effects for the nucleon chiral partners are studied within the framework of the parity-doublet model. Our model includes the vacuum energy shift for nucleons, which is the Casimir effect. We find that for the antiperiodic…

The electrodynamics modified by the Chern-Simons term $\mathcal{L}_{cs}\sim p_{\mu}A_{\nu}\tilde F^{\mu\nu}$ with a non-vanishing $p_{\mu}$ violates the {\it Charge-Parity-Time Reversal} symmetry (CPT) and rotates the linear polarizations…

The violation of the Charge-Parity (CP) symmetry is a phenomenon described by the Standard Model (SM), however, its predictions for this violation are not enough to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the visible universe.…
Optical systems with gain and loss that respect Parity-Time (PT) symmetry can have real eigenvalues despite their non-Hermitian character. Chiral systems impose circularly polarized waves which do not preserve their handedness under the…
The effects of parity and time reversal violating potential, in particular the tensor-pseudotensor electron nucleus interaction are studied. We establish that selected terms representing the interplay of these effects and the residual…

We calculate the Casimir force between two parallel plates if the boundary conditions for the photons are modified due to presence of the Chern-Simons term. We show that this effect should be measurable within the present experimental…
Very stringent experimental bounds exist on the amount of P and CP violation in strong interactions. Nevertheless, the presence of non-Abelian topological solutions and the axial anomaly make the issue of CP invariance in QCD non-trivial…

Diffraction of matter-waves is an important demonstration of the fact that objects in nature possess a mixture of particle-like and wave-like properties. Unlike in the case of light diffraction, matter-waves are subject to a vacuum-mediated…
