The low energy behaviour of Quantum Chromodynamics makes unreliable an expansion in terms of its coupling strength, since nothing guarantees the convergence of such expansion. To overcomer such difficulty one resorts to Lattice QCD or…
We study the realization in a model of graphene of the phenomenon whereby the tendency of gauge-field mediated interactions to break chiral symmetry spontaneously is greatly enhanced in an external magnetic field. We prove that, in the weak…

We construct an effective Lagrangian for low energy hadronic interactions through an infinite expansion in inverse powers of the low energy cutoff $\Lambda_\chi$ of all possible chiral invariant non-renormalizable interactions between…
We first examine the scaling argument for a renormalization-group (RG) analysis applied to a system subject to the dimensional reduction in strong magnetic fields, and discuss the fact that a four-Fermi operator of the low-energy…
We introduce a new renormalisation scheme to construct the Landau quasiparticles of Fermi fluids. The scheme relies on an energy cutoff $\Lambda$ which removes the quasi-resonant couplings, enabling the dressing of the particles into…
Electromagnetic (EM) interactions are incorporated in a recently proposed effective field theory of the nuclear many-body problem. Earlier work with this effective theory exhibited EM couplings that are correct only to lowest order in both…
A low-temperature expansion of QED one-loop effective Lagrangian valid for a wide range of parameters is presented in a form of finite sums of elementary functions. Starting from the effective action components of the one-loop polarization…

It is shown that in degenerate magnetized Fermi-Dirac plasma where the electron-orbital are quantized distinct quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) limits exist in which the nonlinear density waves behave differently. The Coulomb interaction among…
The effective potential for the composite fields responsible for chiral symmetry breaking in weakly coupled QED in a magnetic field is derived. The global minimum of the effective potential is found to acquire a non-vanishing expectation…
Vacuum of Quantum Chromodynamics in very strong (hadron-scale) magnetic fields exhibits many interesting nonperturbative effects. Some of these effects can be studied with the help of lattice simulations in quenched QCD. We review our…
We simulate a finite system of $N$ confined electrons with inclusion of the Darwin magnetic interaction in two- and three-dimensions. The lowest energy states are located using the steepest descent quenching adapted for velocity dependent…
Using a chiral Lagrangian we show that strongly interacting models of electroweak symmetry breaking are not in conflict with precision data. Such models, like Technicolor, need not lead to a heavy Higgs-like signal. Furthermore, the allowed…
While the composite fermion picture is so effective as to describe the excitation spectra including the spin wave for Laughlin's quantum liquid, ``how heavy and how strongly-interacting" remains a formidable question for the composite…
We consider the contribution of electron-electron interactions to the orbital magnetization of a two-dimensional electron gas, focusing on the ballistic limit in the regime of negligible Landau-level spacing. This regime can be described by…
