Different theoretical and experimental aspects of electromagnetic phenomena in media is reviewed. The 100 year old Minkowski theory is in agreement with most experiments, but has theoretical problems related to its implied validity in all…
A quantum field theoretic formulation of the dynamics of the Contact Process on a regular graph of degree z is introduced. A perturbative calculation in powers of 1/z of the effective potential for the density of particles phi(t) and an…
Electron dispersion forces play a crucial role in determining the structure and properties of biomolecules, molecular crystals and many other systems. However, an accurate description of dispersion is highly challenging, with the most…
I discuss the concept of fractional exclusion statistics (FES) and I show that in order to preserve the thermodynamic consistency of the formalism, the exclusion statistics parameters should change if the species of particles in the system…
These lecture notes want to illustrate the close connection between statistical mechanics and field theory not only on the formal level, i.e. that many concepts of one area can easily be taken over to the other one, but also on the level of…
In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String…
The Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lecture notes on quantum…
Measurements of diffractive phenomena observed at HERA are reviewed. A short introduction to the theoretical background is presented. The review focuses on the current experimental directions and discusses the exclusive production of vector…
The current critical review aims to be more than a simple summary and reproduction of previously published work. Many comprehensive reviews and collections can be found in the literature. The main intention is to provide an account of the…
Our paper [Phys. Rev. A 93, 052512 (2016)], proposing a novel form of single determinant wave function that admits non-idempotent 1-electron density matrices, has recently received a Comment [Phys. Rev. A ??, 0????? (2017)] suggesting a…
An effective field theory for clean electron systems is developed in analogy to the generalized nonlinear sigma-model for disordered interacting electrons. The physical goal is to separate the soft or massless electronic degrees of freedom…
Thermal emission is a ubiquitous and fundamental process by which all objects at non-zero temperatures radiate electromagnetic energy. This process is often presented to be incoherent in both space and time, resulting in broadband,…
The article provides a review of the publications on the current trends and developments in Dempster-Shafer theory and its different applications in science, engineering, and technologies. The review took account of the following provisions…
Physics beyond the standard model can affect top-quark physics indirectly. We describe the effective field theory approach to describing such physics, and contrast it with the vertex-function approach that has been pursued previously. We…
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
The current status of asteroseismic studies is here reviewed and the adequate techniques of analysis available today for the study of the oscillation frequencies are presented. Comments on prospects for future investigations through the…
We apply point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) to electronic and muonic 4He+ ions, and use it to identify linear combinations of spectroscopic measurements for which the theoretical uncertainties are much smaller than for any…
A first-principles approach is introduced to calculate electron field emission characteristics of nanostructures, based on the nonequilibrium Green function technique combined with the density functional theory. The method employs…
The theoretical picture of thermal field-emission (TFE) from semiconductors has been limited to 1D and 2D models. This can be attributed to the complex and interdependent phenomena that is involved in TFE from semiconductors which makes the…
This note describes a way of obtaining e that differs from the standard one. It could be used as an alternate way of showing how the value of e is obtained. No attempt is made to show the existence of the limit in the definition of e that…
