Certain two dimensional topological field theories can be interpreted as string theory backgrounds in which the usual decoupling of ghosts and matter does not hold. Like ordinary string models, these can sometimes be given space-time…

Boundary effects produced by a Chern-Simons (CS) extension to electrodynamics are analyzed exploiting the Green's function (GF) method. We consider the electromagnetic field coupled to a $\theta$-term in a way that has been proposed to…
In this work, we investigated the existence of compacton-like configuration in the O(3)-sigma model. We consider a minimally coupled O(3)-sigma model with a gauge field governed by a generalized Chern-Simons term. Contrary to that…
We explore the role of the Cremmer-Scherk mechanism in the context of low energy effective string theory by coupling the antisymmetric 3-form gauge potential to an Abelian gauge potential carrying weak hypercharge. The theory admits a class…

All observational evidence for dark matter and dark energy is so far exclusively gravitational. Hence, the dark sector may be equivalently described by a theory of the spacetime metric whose dynamics is affected by interactions with an…

Implicit in the study of magnetic materials is the concept of spin Hamiltonians, which emerge as the low-energy theories of correlation-driven insulators. In order to predict and establish such Hamiltonians for real materials, a variety of…
