We construct a generalized Laughlin-liquid wave function and a variational electron solid wave function when the magnetic field is tilted. The energy of the liquid state is evaluated by Monte Carlo methods while the energy of the solid…
In a number of field theoretical models the vacuum angle \theta enters physics in the combination \theta/N, where N stands generically for the number of colors or flavors, in an apparent contradiction with the expected 2 \pi periodicity in…
We consider a little known aspect of signature change, where the overall sign of the metric is allowed to change, with physical implications. We show how, in different formulations of general relativity, this type of classical signature…
We propose a new method to quantize gauge theories formulated on a canonical noncommutative spacetime with fields and gauge transformations taken in the enveloping algebra. We show that the theory is renormalizable at one loop and compute…
A magnetic field and the resulting Landau degeneracy enhance the infrared contributions to the quark mass gap. The gap does not grow arbitrarily, however, for models of asymptotic free interactions. For B -> infinity, the magnetic field…
Within the scheme of modified gravity, an exponential Lagrangian density will be considered, and the corresponding scalar-tensor description will be addressed for both positive and negative values of the cosmological constant. For negative…
Using a generalized proper-time method, we obtain expressions for the fermion density and the QED effective Lagrangian for an external magnetic field at finite chemical potential. The effective Lagrangian and the density are here written in…
Force-free electrodynamics is the theoretical paradigm used to describe electromagnetic fields in a region where the inertia of plasma is negligible compared to the strength of the electromagnetic field. While these fields are studied…
In this article, we extend our previous study of the $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths under the presence of an external magnetic field, including finite temperature effects. The novelty of this work is precisely the introduction of…
Picking up the threads on a recent proposal [arXiv:1903.08668], we show how to formulate consistent thermodynamics of Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetimes in the presence of electric and magnetic charges. Namely, with an entropy identified with a…
Harko and Moraes claim that in $f(R,T)$ gravity with $f(R,T)=f_1(R)+f_2(T)$, the term $f_2(T)$ cannot be incorporated in the matter Lagrangian ${\cal L}_m$. A careful examination of their Comment finds that they have made several dubious…
We construct a unified framework of geometrodynamics based on the Finsler geometry to reveal the relationship between spacetime and dynamics.The Lagrangian of electron in electromagnetic field as the Finsler function gives the Finslerian…
The cosmological model consisting of a nonlinear magnetic field obeying the Lagrangian L= \gamma F^{\alpha}, F being the electromagnetic invariant, coupled to a Robertson-Walker geometry is tested with observational data of Type Ia…
We derive the full N=2 supergravity Lagrangian which contains a symplectic invariant scalar potential in terms of electric and magnetic charges. As shown in reference [1], the appearance of magnetic charges is allowed only if tensor…
We extend the ordinary 3D electromagnetic duality to the noncommutative (NC) space-time through a Seiberg-Witten map to second order in the noncommutativity parameter (theta), defining a new scalar field model. There are similarities with…
We will analyze two particular features of an exponential gravitational Lagrangian. On the one hand, while this choice of the Lagrangian density allows for two free parameters, only one scale, the cosmological constant, arises as…
The dilaton-gravity sector of the Two Measures Field Theory (TMT) is explored in detail in the context of cosmology. The dilaton \phi dependence of the effective Lagrangian appears only as a result of the spontaneous breakdown of the scale…
A system of equations, describing the evolution of electromagnetic fields, is introduced and discussed. The model is strictly related to Maxwell's equations. As a matter of fact, the Lagrangian is the same, but the variations are subjected…
We study $f(R,T)$ gravity, in which the curvature $R$ appearing in the gravitational Lagrangian is replaced by an arbitrary function of the curvature and the trace $T$ of the stress-energy tensor. We focus primarily on situations where $f$…
We provide an alternative interpretation for the topological terms in physics by investigating the low-energy gauge interacting system. The asymptotic behavior of the gauge field at infinity indicates that it traces out a closed loop in the…
