We study the Dirac equation coupled to scalar and vector Klein-Gordon fields in the limit of strong coupling and large masses of the fields. We prove convergence of the solutions to those of a cubic non-linear Dirac equation, given that the…

We calculate the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field to leading order in the Planck constant $\hbar$. Going beyond leading order in $\hbar$ we then derive a generalized Boltzmann equation…
We study connected Wightman functions of $N$ conserved currents, each of which is formed from a scalar field and has even spin $l_{i}$. The UV divergence of this vertex function is regularized by the analytic continuation in the space…
We construct a Lagrangian of Weyl spinors and gauge fields, which is invariant under the action of equivalent local transformations on the spinor algebra representations. A model of vacuum with a nontrivial gauge strength-tensor setting a…
We study the Dirac equation minimally coupled to general relativity using quantum field theory and the semiclassical gravity approximation. Previous studies of the Einstein-Dirac system did not quantize the Dirac field and required multiple…
Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations are the motion equations for relativistic particles with spin 0 (so-called scalar particles) and 1/2 (electron/positron) respectively. For a free particle, the Dirac equation is derived from the Klein-Gordon…
In general relativity the affine connection is required to be symmetric so torsion is zero while according to the Einsten- Cartan's theory torsion is connected to the spin tensor as expressed by the Cartan's equations. We consider the…
The Dirac constraint formalism is used to analyze the first order form of the Einstein-Hilbert action in d > 2 dimensions. Unlike previous treatments, this is done without eliminating fields at the outset by solving equations of motion that…
The gravitating matter is studied within the framework of the non-commutative geometry. The non-commutative Einstein-Hilbert action on the product of a four dimensional manifold with a discrete space gives the models of matter fields…
A canonical analysis of the Einstein-Hilbert action S_d (d>2) is considered, using the first order form with the metric and affine connection as independent fields. We adopt a conservative approach to using the Dirac constraint formalism;…
The Green function of the quark-antiquark system in the confining background field is analysed using the Feynman-Schwinger formalism. The Hamiltonian for the case of massive spinning quarks is obtained in the form containing essentially…
We examine lower order perturbations of the harmonic map prob- lem from $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{S}^2$ including chiral interaction in form of a helicity term that prefers modulation, and a potential term that enables decay to a uniform…
We suggest that the physically irrelevant choice of a representative worldline of a relativistic spinning particle should correspond to a gauge symmetry in an action approach. Using a canonical formalism in special relativity, we identify a…
The Bargman-Wigner equations are generalized to include chiral symmetry based on the irreps of the Poincar\'{e} group, and the chirial Bargmann-Wigner equations are derived for spin-1 massive fields. By specifying the chiral basis, the…
We study the conservative dynamics of spinless compact objects in a general effective theory of gravity which includes a metric and an arbitrary number of scalar fields, through $\mathcal{O}(G^{3})$. Departures from Einstein gravity, which…
(Talk presented at the 7th Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity, Stanford, CA, July 24-30, 1994) We study the semi-classical limit of the solution of the Dirac equation in a background electromagnetic/gravitational plane wave. We…

The first order form of a Maxwell theory and U(1) gauge theory in which a gauge invariant mass term appears is analyzed using the Dirac procedure. The form of the gauge transformation which leaves the action invariant is derived from the…
For the Yang-Mills-type gauge-field theory with Lorentz symmetry group, we propose and verify an explicit expression for the conserved currents in terms of the energy-momentum tensor. A crucial ingredient is the assumption that the gauge…
