We derive a bound on the total number of negative energy bound states in a potential in two spatial dimensions by using an adaptation of the Schwinger method to derive the Birman-Schwinger bound in three dimensions. Specifically, counting…
We present a quantum Hall effect of magnons in two-dimensional clean insulating magnets at finite temperature. Through the Aharonov-Casher effect, a magnon moving in an electric field acquires a geometric phase and forms Landau levels in an…
A new classical 2-spinor approach to $U(1)$ gauge theory is presented in which the usual four-potential vector field is replaced by a symmetric second rank spinor. Following a lagrangian formulation, it is shown that the four-rank spinor…
Using functional integral methods, we study the Casimir effect for the case of two infinite parallel plates in the QED vacuum, with (different) perfect electromagnetic boundary conditions applied to both plates. To enforce these boundary…
In this paper we revisit the dynamical dark energy model building based on single scalar field involving higher derivative terms. By imposing a degenerate condition on the higher derivatives in curved spacetime, one can select the models…
The U=infinity Hubbard model on a hypercubic lattice with exactly one hole is studied. It is seen that a degeneracy can occur in the maximal-spin sector. It is proved variationally that the Nagaoka (maximal spin) state is not a ground…
We develop a no-go theorem for two-dimensional bosonic systems with crystal symmetries: if there is a half-integer spin at a rotation center, where the point-group symmetry is $\mathbb D_{2,4,6}$, such a system must have a ground-state…
In this work the Dirac oscillator in $(2+1)$ dimensions is considered. We solve the problem in polar coordinates and discuss the dependence of the energy spectrum on the spin parameter $s$ and angular momentum quantum number $m$. Contrary…
We consider Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor theories which appear degenerate when restricted to the unitary gauge but are not degenerate in an arbitrary gauge. We dub them U-degenerate theories. We provide a full classification of theories that…
The Dirac equation is solved for a pseudoscalar Coulomb potential in a two-dimensional world. An infinite sequence of bounded solutions are obtained. These results are in sharp contrast with those ones obtained in 3+1 dimensions where no…
In this work, we study the Aharonov-Casher effect in the $(2+1)$-dimensional Dirac oscillator coupled to an external electromagnetic field. We set up our system in two different scenarios: in the Minkowski spacetime and the cosmic string…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is analyzed for a spin-1/2 particle in the case that a $1/r$ potential is present. Scalar and vector couplings are each considered. It is found that the approach in which the flux tube is given a finite radius that…
We obtain the gauge invariant energy eigenvalues and degeneracies together with rotationally symmetric wavefunctions of a particle moving on 2D noncommutative plane subjected to homogeneous magnetic field $B$ and harmonic potential. This…
We consider, in Minkowski spacetime, higher-order Maxwell Lagrangians with terms quadratic in the derivatives of the field strength tensor, and study their degrees of freedom. Using a 3+1 decomposition of these Lagrangians, we extract the…
We investigate the Casimir effect in the systems that consist of parallel but misaligned finite-size plates from the point of view of zero-point energy. We elaborate the zero-point energies of the radiation field in the perfect conductor…
We prove uniqueness and stability for the inverse boundary value problem of the two dimensional Schr\"odinger equation. We do not assume the potentials to be continuous or even bounded. Instead, we assume that some of their positive…
We construct a double degenerate supersymmetry in one dimensional quantum mechanics. Here the energy levels satisfy the conditions $E_{0,1}^{((-)}=0$ and $E_{n,n+1}^{(+)}=E_{n+2,n+3}^{(-)}$.The corresponding SUSY Hamiltonians$(H^{(\pm)}$)…
We develop a method to compute certain mutations of quivers with potentials and use this to construct an explicit family of non-degenerate potentials on the exceptional quiver $X_7$. We confirm a conjecture of Geiss-Labardini-Schroer by…
We consider the quantization of a scalar kappa-deformed field up to the point of obtaining an expression for its vacuum energy. The expression is given by the half sum of the field frequencies, as in the non-deformed case, but with the…
This article reviews scalar-tensor theories characterized by a Lagrangian that, despite the presence of second order derivatives, contain a single scalar degree of freedom. These theories, known as Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor…
