We describe the potential produced by a point electric charge placed into a constant magnetic field, so strong that the electron Larmour length is much shorter than its Compton length. The standard Coulomb law is modified due to the vacuum…
We use a functional approach to study various aspects of the quantum effective dynamics of moving, planar, dispersive mirrors, coupled to scalar or Dirac fields, in different numbers of dimensions. We first compute the Euclidean effective…
We pursue further an approach to lattice chiral fermions in which the fermions are treated in the continuum. To render the effective action gauge invariant, counterterms have to be introduced. We determine the counterterms for smooth gauge…

In the $\mathcal{N}=1$, $d=3$ superspace, we propose a massive superfield theory formulated in terms of a spinor gauge superfield, whose component content includes a two-form field, and a real scalar matter superfield. For this model, we…

This article is the second of a series of three presenting an alternative method to compute the one-loop scalar integrals. It extends the results of the first article to general complex masses. Let us remind the main features enjoyed by…
The classical limit of polymer quantum theories yields a one parameter family of `effective' theories labeled by \lambda. Here we consider such families for constrained theories and pose the problem of taking the `continuum limit', \lambda…
