Scalar field models with non-standard kinetic terms have been proposed in the context of k-inflation, of Born-Infeld lagrangians, of phantom energy and, more in general, of low-energy string theory. In general, scalar fields are expected to…
We use a perturbative approach to evaluate transition amplitudes corresponding to quantum friction, for a scalar model describing an atom which moves at a constant velocity, close to a material plane. In particular, we present results on…
In a ghost-condensate model of dark energy the combined dynamics of the scalar field and gravitation is shown to impose non-trivial restriction on the self-interaction of the scalar field. Using this restriction we show that the choice of a…
Quantum fluctuations of a scalar field and its derivatives are calculated when the field is confined between two parallel plates satisfying Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. After regulation these fluctuations diverge in general…
In this paper we consider self interacting scalar quantum field theories over a $d$ dimensional Minkowski spacetime with various interaction Lagrangians which are suitable functions of the field. The interacting field observables are…

In quantum field theory the concept of a Lagrangian interaction density, expressed in terms of fields, is primary. Forces between two particles are regarded as arising primarily from the exchange of quanta of the bosonic fields. Thus, in…
The authors study the quantum effect of self-interacting fields in the classical background of conical space, i.e. around a cosmic string with infinitesimal width. The renormalized value of $\langle\phi^2\rangle$ and energy-momentum tensor…
We consider the Abelian model of a complex scalar field coupled to a gauge field within the framework of General Relativity and search for cosmological solutions. For this purpose we assume a homogeneous, isotropic and uncharged Universe…
Generalization of QCD motivated classical SU(2) Yang--Mills theory coupled to the scalar field is discussed. The massive scalar field, corresponding the scalar glueball, provides a confining potential for static, point-like, external…
Using the recently proposed non-linear gauge condition, we show the area law behavior of the Wilson loop and the linear dependence of the instantaneous gluon propagator. The field configurations responsible for confinement are those in the…
We study the theory of interaction between charged scalar field and Maxwell field in de Sitter background. Solving the equation of interacting fields we define the in-out fields as asymptotic free fields and construct the reduction…
We investigate scalar-tensor theories, motivated by dark energy models, in the strong gravity regime around the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. In such theories general relativity is modified since the scalar field couples to…
We have considered the interaction of a pair of spatially separated two-level atoms with the electromagnetic field in its vacuum state and we have analyzed the amount of entanglement induced between the two atoms by the non local field…
We compute bounds on screened scalar field theories from hydrogen-like systems. New light scalar fields generically have a direct coupling to matter. Such a coupling is strongly constrained by myriad experimental measurements. However,…
We consider, in more details than it was done previously, the effective low-energy behavior in the quantum theory of a light scalar field coupled to another scalar with much larger mass. The main target of our work is an IR decoupling of…
Using the complex Klein-Gordon field as a model, we quantize the quaternionic scalar field in the real Hilbert space. The lagrangian formulation has accordingly been obtained, as well as the hamiltonian formulation, and the energy and…
