We re-examine the nature of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor of mean field electrodynamics and show that an inconsistency arises if it is calculated via consideration of time-independent magnetic fields. Specifically, the predicted…
Compact stars serve as natural systems where matter exists at densities far beyond those achievable in laboratory experiments. Among them, magnetars are expected to possess interior magnetic fields that may reach values of the order of…

We give a fully covariant energy momentum stress tensor for the gravitational field which is easily physically motivated, and which leads to a very general derivation of the Einstein equation for gravity. We do not need to assume any…
The energy released in a magnetic material by reversing spins as they relax toward equilibrium can lead to a dynamical instability that ignites self-sustained rapid relaxation along a deflagration front that propagates at a constant…
We study the magnetic braking and viscous damping of differential rotation in incompressible, uniform density stars in general relativity. Differentially rotating stars can support significantly more mass in equilibrium than nonrotating or…
Stars form in dense cores of magnetized molecular clouds. If the magnetic flux threading the cores is dragged into the stars, the stellar field would be orders of magnitude stronger than observed. This well-known "magnetic flux problem"…

The stress tensor for the quantized electromagnetic field is calculated in the region between a pair of dispersive, dielectric half-spaces. This generalizes the stress tensor for the Casimir energy to the case where the boundaries have…

When the ion mean free path much exceeds the Larmor radius in a plasma, the viscous stress tensor is altered dramatically, and depends only upon quantities measured along the field lines. This regime corresponds to typical interstellar…

The magnetars are believed to be highly magnetized neutron stars having surface magnetic field 10^{14} - 10^{15} G. It is believed that at the center, the magnetic field may be higher than that at the surface. We study the effect of the…
