A connection between linearized Gauss-Bonnet gravity and classical electrodynamics is found by developing a procedure which can be used to derive completely gauge invariant models. The procedure involves building the most general Lagrangian…
Variational convexity, together with ist strong counterpart, of extended-real-valued functions has been recently introduced by Rockafellar. In this paper we present second-order characterizations of these properties, i.e., conditions using…
The presence of the term $\left(\case{v}{c}\right)$ that characterizes the electrodynamic retarded potentials, also known as Li\'enard-Wiechert potentials, is thought to be reminiscent of a Doppler effect. Here, we show that these…
The electronic properties of disordered systems have been the subject of intense study for several decades. Thermoelectric properties, such as thermopower and thermal conductivity, have been relatively neglected. A long standing problem is…
Gauge invariance is one of the more important concepts in physics. We discuss this concept in connection with the unitary evolution of discrete-time quantum walks in one and two spatial dimensions, when they include the interaction with…
A system of reduced equations is proposed for the electron motion in the strongly-radiation dominated regime for an arbitrary electromagnetic field configuration. The developed approach is used to analyze various scenarios of an electron…
We study second-order electromagnetic perturbations in the Schwarzschild background and derive the effective source terms for Regge-Wheeler equation which are quadratic in first-order gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations. In…
The reduction of the three-dimensional classical electromagnetism is performed in a twofold way. In the first case the ordinary two-dimensional electromagnetism is obtained with sources in the form of conserved electric currents flowing…
It is shown that the renormalizability of the zero-range interaction in the two-dimensional space is always followed by the existence of a bound state, which is not true for odd-dimensional spaces. A renormalization procedure is defined and…
The non-relativistic interacting electron gas in an external field of positively charged massive cores is dealt with in the scheme of second quantization. Ladder operators that change between stationary states of contiguous energy…
Within the theoretical framework of divergence-type theories (DTTs), we set up a consistent nonlinear hydrodynamical description of a conformal fluid in flat space-time. DTTs go beyond second-order (in velocity gradients) theories, and are…
We present a semiclassical theory for electron drag between two parallel two-dimensional electron systems in a strong magnetic field, which provides a transparent picture of the most salient qualitative features of anomalous drag phenomena…
Here we study the wave propagation and stability of general relativistic non-resistive dissipative second-order magnetohydrodynamic equations in curved space-time. We solve the Boltzmann equation for a system of particles and antiparticles…
This contribution reviews scalar-tensor theories whose Lagrangian contains second-order derivatives of a scalar field but nevertheless propagate only one scalar mode (in addition to the usual two tensor modes), and are thus not plagued with…
The analytic energy gradients in the atomic orbital representation have recently been published (J. Chem. Phys. 146, 014102, 2017) within the framework of the natural orbital functional theory (NOFT). We provide here an alternative…
Mathematical analysis of the Anderson localization has been facilitated by the use of suitable fractional moments of the Green function. Related methods permit now a readily accessible derivation of a number of physical manifestations of…
We apply the principles discussed in an earlier paper to the construction of discrete time field theories. We derive the discrete time field equations of motion and Noether's theorem and apply them to the Schrodinger equation to illustrate…
The gravitational field of a particle of small mass \mu moving through curved spacetime is naturally decomposed into two parts each of which satisfies the perturbed Einstein equations through O(\mu). One part is an inhomogeneous field…
Using a rigorous method of matched asymptotic expansions, I derive the equation of motion of a small, compact body in an external vacuum spacetime through second order in the body's mass (neglecting effects of internal structure). The…
Retarded electromagnetic potentials are derived from Maxwell's equations and the Lorenz condition. The difference found between these potentials and the conventional Li\'{e}nard-Wiechert ones is explained by neglect, for the latter, of the…
