The state of a system in classical mechanics can be uniquely reconstructed if we know the positions and the momenta of all its parts. In 1958 Pauli has conjectured that the same holds for quantum mechanical systems. The conjecture turned…

Monopole field configurations have been extensively studied in both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories. The question of the quantum corrections to these systems is a difficult one, since the classical monopoles have non-perturbatively…
Noncommutative solitons are easier to find in a noncommutative field theory. Similarly, the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass of a noncommutative soliton are easier to compute, in a real scalar theory in 2+1 dimensions. We carry out…

The problem of gauge invariance of the physical sector of (2+1)-dimensional Maxwell-Chern-Simons quantum electrodynamics (QED$_{2+1}$) is studied. It is shown that using Proca mass term for the infrared regularization one obtains…
When using dimensional regularization, the bare couplings are expressed as a power series in (2 - n/2)^{-1} where n is the number of dimensions. It is shown how the renormalization group can be used to sum the leading pole, next to leading…
