It is shown that the nonlinear wave equation $\partial_t^2\phi - \partial^2_x \phi -\mu_0\partial_x(\partial_x\phi)^3 =0$, which is the continuum limit of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) beta model, has a positive Lyapunov exponent lambda_1,…
Using the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, we compute the static quantum potential for noncommutative axionic electrodynamics (or axionic electrodynamics in the presence of a minimal length). Accordingly, we obtain an…
We observe that probing certain classical field theories by external sources uncovers the underlying renormalization group structure, including the phenomenon of dimensional transmutation, at purely-classical level. We perform this study on…
We extend a Gaussian model for the internal electrical potential of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas by a non-Gaussian measure term, which singles out the physically relevant configurations of the potential. The resulting Hamiltonian,…
We present the case of time-varying cosmological term $\Lambda(t)$. The main idea arises by proposing that as in the cosmological constant case, the scalar potential is identified as $ V(\phi)=2\Lambda$, with $\Lambda$ a constant, this…
The tunnelling of virtual matter-antimatter pairs from the quantum vacuum in multidimensions is studied. We consider electric backgrounds as a linear combination of a spatial Sauter field and, interchangeably, certain weaker time dependent…

We consider the static potential in theories exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking. We use our findings to calculate the static potential of the Standard Model at one-loop order. We do so in both the Wilson loop and scattering amplitude…
For field theories in one time and one space dimensions we propose an efficient method to compute the vacuum polarization energy of static field configurations that do not allow a decomposition into symmetric and anti--symmetric channels.…
We define `third derivative' General Relativity, by promoting the integration measure in Einstein-Hilbert action to be an arbitrary $4$-form field strength. We project out its local fluctuations by coupling it to another $4$-form field…
This is a new version of the paper, which uses the same methods as in the previous version, but the model is now different. We study two complex scalar fields coupled through a quadratic interaction in 2+1 dimensions. We use the method of…
Classical relativistic system of point particles coupled with an electromagnetic field is considered in the three-dimensional representation. The gauge freedom connected with the chronometrical invariance of the four-dimensional description…
The problem of confinement of spinless particles in 1+1 dimensions is approached with a linear potential by considering a mixing of Lorentz vector and scalar couplings. Analytical bound-states solutions are obtained when the scalar coupling…
We study the Dirac equation in 3+1 dimensions with non-minimal coupling to isotropic radial three-vector potential and in the presence of static electromagnetic potential. The space component of the electromagnetic potential has angular…
We describe the potential produced by a point electric charge placed into a constant magnetic field, so strong that the electron Larmour length is much shorter than its Compton length. The standard Coulomb law is modified due to the vacuum…
In this work, we are interested in the controllability of Vlasov-Poisson systems in the presence of an external force field (namely a bounded force field or a magnetic field), by means of a local interior control. We are able to extend the…
In this work we study the interaction strength among a neutral scalar boson and two massless vector bosons in presence of an external magnetic field. Based on global symmetries, we build the general tensor structure amplitude…
It has been shown that the mechanism of formation of glue-bags in the strong coupling limit of Yang-Mills theory can be understood in terms of the dynamics of a higher-rank abelian gauge field, namely, the 3-form dual to the Chern-Simons…
We study contact terms of conserved currents and the energy-momentum tensor in three-dimensional quantum field theory. They are associated with Chern-Simons terms for background fields. While the integer parts of these contact terms are…
In this short paper, we investigate the consequences of observer dependence of the quantum effective potential for an interacting field theory. Specializing to $d+2$ dimensional Euclidean Rindler space, we develop the formalism to calculate…
