We use a description based on differential forms to systematically explore the space of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Within this formalism, we propose a basis for the scalar sector at the lowest order in derivatives of the field and…
We show that the equations of motion for (free) integer higher spin gauge fields can be formulated as twisted self-duality conditions on the higher spin curvatures of the spin-$s$ field and its dual. We focus on the case of four spacetime…
This article is the second of a trilogy that addresses the perturbative response of general quantum systems, with possibly nontrivial ground state geometry, beyond linear order. Here, we establish concise, general formulae for second order…
The second-order gravitational self-force on a small body is an important problem for gravitational-wave astronomy of extreme mass-ratio inspirals. We give a first-principles derivation of a prescription for computing the first and second…
The relativistic Lagrangian for a spinning particle in an electromagnetic field is derived from the known Lagrangian in the particle's rest frame. The resulting relativistic Stern-Gerlach and Thomas precession forces on the particle are…

Is Newton's gravity sufficient to handle the weakly nonlinear evolution stages of the cosmic large-scale structures? Here we resolve the issue by analytically deriving the density and velocity power spectra to the second order in the…
A derivation of pilot waves from electrodynamic self-interactions is presented. For this purpose, we abandon the current paradigm that describes electrodynamic bodies as point masses. Beginning with the Li\'enard-Wiechert potentials, and…
The cause for first and second order electromagnetic equivalency of inertial systems is approached from a different point of view than that of special relativity. While special relativity applies dilatation to time and contraction to space…
Inspired by the work in Ref.[1], which considers the additional second-order contributions arising from nonlocal corrections due to two-point correlation functions of tensors of different ranks at distinct spacetime points, we similarly…
The teleparallel formulation of gravity theories reveals close structural analogies to electrodynamics, which are more hidden in their usual formulation in terms of the curvature of spacetime. We show how every locally Lorentz invariant…
We present an effective theory describing the low-energy properties of an interacting 2D electron gas at large non-integer filling factors $\nu\gg 1$. Assuming that the interaction is sufficiently weak, $r_s < 1$, we integrate out all the…
Classical electrodynamics in flat 3+1 space-time has a very special retarded propagator delta(x^2) localized on the light cone, so that a particle does not interact with its past field. However, this is an exception, and in flat…
In a series of papers, Quesne and Tkachuk (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{39}, 10909 (2006); Czech. J. Phys. \textbf{56}, 1269 (2006)) presented a $D+1$-dimensional $(\beta,\beta')$-two-parameter Lorentz-covariant deformed algebra which…
It is well known that second order linear ordinary differential equations with slowly varying coefficients admit slowly varying phase functions. This observation is the basis of the Liouville-Green method and many other techniques for the…
We propose a new phenomenological second order gravity theory to be denoted as ''Schouten-Codazzi' Gravity'' (SCG), as it is based on Schouten and Codazzi tensors. The theory is related, but is clearly distinct from Cotton Gravity. By…
This article contains a review of an alternative theory of squeezing, based entirely on the wave function description of the squeezed states. Quantum field theoretic approach is used to describe the squeezing of the electromagnetic field in…
Our investigation of differential conservation laws in Lagrangian field theory is based on the first variational formula which provides the canonical decomposition of the Lie derivative of a Lagrangian density by a projectable vector field…
Three variational vector equations are derived for the extended particle-field object located on the light cone. Point sources are excluded from the pure field equations and all physical magnitudes are free from divergences. Accepting 3D…
In this manuscript, we study the relativistic quantum mechanics of an electron in external fields in the spinning cosmic string spacetime. We obtain the Dirac equation, write the first and second-order equations from it, and then we solve…
