We investigate generalized quantum electrodynamics (GQED), a higher-derivative extension of QED in (3+1)D. We perform its dimensional reduction to (2+1)D by confining the Dirac current to a plane while allowing the gauge field to propagate…
We present an anomaly-free Dirac constraint quantization of the string-inspired dilatonic gravity (the CGHS model) in an open 2-dimensional spacetime. We show that the quantum theory has the same degrees of freedom as the classical theory;…

Using the spectral representation of the quark propagator we study the Dirac decomposition of the gauge invariant quark propagator, whose imaginary part describes the hadronization of a quark as this interacts with the vacuum. We then…
We show that manifest superfluid properties of the Minkowskian Higgs model with vacuum BPS monopoles quantized by Dirac may be described in the framework of the Cauchy problem to the Gribov ambiguity equation. The latter equation specifies…

Topological phenomena in gauge theories have long been recognized as the driving force for chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. These phenomena can be conveniently investigated in the semi-classical picture, in which the topological…

A gauge condition is presented here to quantize non-Abelian gauge theory on the manifold $R\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{1}$, which is free from the Gribov ambiguity. Perturbative calculations in the new gauge behave like the axial…

We study the dynamics of Abelian gauge fields invariant under transverse diffeomorphisms (TDiff) in cosmological contexts. We show that in the geometric optics approximation, very much as for Diff invariant theories, the corresponding…
Electronic eigen-states of a square graphene quantum dot(GQD) terminated by both zigzag and armchair edges are derived in the theoretical framework of Dirac equation. We find that the Dirac equation can determine the eigen-energy spectrum…
(abridged)The achievements of the present work include: a) A clarification of the multiple definition given by Bergmann of the concept of {\it (Bergmann) observable. This clarification leads to the proposal of a {\it main conjecture}…
The Dirac constraint formalism is used to analyze the first order form of the Einstein-Hilbert action in d > 2 dimensions. Unlike previous treatments, this is done without eliminating fields at the outset by solving equations of motion that…
It is argued that confining effects in 3-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories (high-temperature limit of 4-dimensional ones) imply the existence of the condensates of the gauge and Higgs fields in 3-d vacuum. This non-perturbative effect…
We study the dual Higgs mechanism for the nonperturbative QCD. We point out two kind of the ``see-saw'' relations between electric and magnetic sectors. Owing to the Dirac condition $eg=4\pi$, the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory has the…
We consider full phase-space noncommutativity in the Dirac equation, and find that in order to preserve gauge invariance, configuration space noncommutativity must be dropped. The resulting space structure gives rise to a constant magnetic…
An equation, we call Dirac gamma-equation, is introduced with the help of the mathematical tools connected with the Clifford algebra. This equation can be considered as a generalization of the Dirac equation for the electron. Some features…
