We propose a q-deformation of the su(2)-invariant Schrodinger equation of a spinless particle in a central potential, which allows us not only to determine a deformed spectrum and the corresponding eigenstates, as in other approaches, but…
Many references exist in the density functional theory (DFT) literature to the chemical potential of the electrons in an atom or a molecule. The origin of this notion has been the identification of the Lagrange multiplier $\mu = \partial…

In a local gauge-invariant theory with massless Dirac fermions a symmetry of the Lorentz-invariant fermion charge is larger than a symmetry of the Lagrangian as a whole. While the Dirac Lagrangian exhibits only a chiral symmetry, the…

We study the Casimir friction due to the relative, uniform, lateral motion of two parallel semitransparent mirrors coupled to a vacuum real scalar field, $\phi$. We follow a functional approach, whereby nonlocal terms in the action for…
The massless harmonic oscillator is a rare example of a system whose Feynman path integral can be explicitly computed and receives its main contributions from regions of the functional space that are far from the classical and semiclassical…

We review applications of random matrix theory to QCD at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. The chiral phase transition of QCD and QCD-like theories is discussed in terms of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. We show that for QCD…
At a critical temperature QCD in the chiral limit undergoes a chiral restoration phase transition. Above the phase transition the quark condensate vanishes. The Banks-Casher relation connects the quark condensate to a density of the…
The phase structure of two-flavor QCD is explored for thermal systems with finite baryon- and isospin-chemical potentials, mu_B and mu_{iso}, by using the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. The PNJL model with the…
Using general properties of the $Q=0$ topological sector we previously argued that a vector-like theory, with chiral $U(1)_A$ anomaly, and exact non-Abelian chiral symmetry, should exhibit divergent susceptibilities in the chiral limit, the…
In this work, the generalized Dirac oscillator in cosmic string space-time is studied by replacing the momentum pu with its alternative p_u+mwbf_u(x_u)). In particular, the quantum dynamics is considered for the function f_u(x_u) to be…
