This is our reply to comment (hep-ph/0206289) on our paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 (2002) 011601].
Recently published paper [PRL 114, 147701 (2015)] contains several misleading statements and misinterpretations of known facts. The main massage of the paper [PRL 114, 147701 (2015)] is as follows: "We have shown that explicit symmetry…
The electron mass operator in a strong magnetic field is calculated. The contribution of higher Landau levels of virtual electrons, along with the ground Landau level, is shown to be essential in the leading log approximation. The effect of…
Comment on S.-Q. Shen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 187203 (2005) [cond-mat/0506676]. We show that the equations of motion deduced by Shen are incorrect and derive semiclassical expression for the operator of force, which also contains a term of…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author because similar published work on the topic was overlooked. See S. Deser and A. Waldron, Nucl. Phys. B 631, 369-387 (2002).
We study chiral symmetry breaking in QED when a uniform external magnetic field is present. We calculate higher order corrections to the dynamically generated fermion mass and find them to be small. In so doing we correct an error in the…
The problem of chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a strong magnetic field is briefly reviewed. Recent progress on issues regarding the gauge fixing independence of the dynamically generated fermion mass is discussed.
I reply here to the comment of Dr Shmatov on my recent work and demonstrate the invalidity of his criticism of the classical physics description of the formation of bound states of electrons participating in spherically symmetric…
Using the nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equation, we show that chiral symmetry in weak-coupling massless QED is dynamically broken by a constant but arbitrarily strong external magnetic field.
A recent result of Gusynin, Miransky and Shovkovy concerning chiral symmetry breaking by a constant external magnetic field in parity-invariant three-dimensional QED is generalised to the case of inhomogeneous fields by relating the…
This Comment points out a number of errors in the recent paper by Zarechnaya, Dubrovinskaia, Dubrovinsky, et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 185501 (2009)). Results and conclusions presented by Zarechnaya et al. (2009) are either incorrect or…
The meson fields are simulated by quark operators and an effective chiral theory of mesons is presented. There are spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. Theoretical results agree with data well.
Motivated by recent interest in understanding properties of strongly magnetized matter, we study the dynamical electron mass generated through approximate chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a strong magnetic field. We reliably calculate the…
We comment on the Reply of G. Su and M. Suzuki [cond-mat/9808011] to our Comment [cond-mat/9807402] about the papers of G. Su [Phys. Rev. B 54, 8291 (1996)] and G. Su and M. Suzuki [Phys. Rev. B 57, 13367 (1998)]. The algebraic mistake…
Reply to the Comment by S.V. Kravchenko, A.A. Shashkin, and V.T. Dolgopolov [cond-mat/0106056]
This paper has been withdrawn by the author because the conclusions reached in it are incorrect.
It is shown that the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken by a constant magnetic field in QED. The dynamical mass of fermions (energy gap in the fermion spectrum) is $m_{dyn}\simeq C\sqrt{eB}\exp\left[-\left(\pi/\alpha\right)…
Large magnetic fields exist in magnetars and are produced in off-central heavy-ion collisions. For the latter, field strengths are estimated to be comparable to strong interaction scales. This fact has motivated many studies of QCD physics…
This is a comment on "How to Observe Coherent Electron Dynamics Directly" [H. J. Suominen and A. Kirrander, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 043002 (2014)].
We call attention to a series of mistakes in a paper by S. Nam [JHEP 10 (2000) 044, hep-th/0008083].
