We consider the dispersion relations of fermions that propagate in the background of a scalar Bose-Einstein condensate. Some illustrative examples are discussed using simple Yukawa-type coupling models between the fermions and the scalar…
We extend the calculation of relativistic bound-states of a fermion anti-fermion pair in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism to the case of total angular momentum $J=3$. Together with results for $J \le 2$ this allows for the investigation of…
We discuss the problem of gauge invariance of the vector meson photoproduction at small $x$ within the two-gluon exchange model. It is found that the gauge invariance is fulfilled if one includes the graphs with higher Fock states in the…
The gauge principle is fundamental in formulating the Standard Model. Fermion--gauge-boson couplings are the inescapable consequence and the primary determining factor for observable phenomena. Vertices describing such couplings are simple…
Higher spin tensor gauge fields have natural gauge-invariant field equations written in terms of generalised curvatures, but these are typically of higher than second order in derivatives. We construct geometric second order field equations…
We construct the homogeneous integral equation for the vertex of the bound state in the light front with the kernel approximated to order g^4. We will truncate the hierarchical equations from Green functions to construct dynamical equations…
We present a BRST symmetric gaugeon formalism for the two-form gauge fields. A set of vector gaugeon fields is introduced as a quantum gauge freedom. One of the gaugeon fields satisfies a higher derivative field equation; this property is…
It is shown that field-theory based single boson exchange potentials cannot be identified to those of the Yukawa or Coulomb type that are currently inserted in the Schr\"odinger equation. The potential which is obtained rather corresponds…
Using a generalised Noether prescription we are able to extract all the currents and their conservation laws in space dependent shift symmetric theories. Various identities among the currents in the matter sector are found that form the…
In a recent work, we considered the propagation of fermions in the background of a scalar Bose-Einstein (BE) condensate. Using some illustrative Yukawa-type coupling models between the fermions and the scalar fields, we determined the…
The exact fermion propagator in a classical time-dependent gauge field is derived by solving the equation of motion for the Dirac Green's functions. From the retarded propagator obtained in this way the momentum spectrum for the produced…
Proceeding from WKB quantization conditions, we derive a semiclassical expression for the current of fermions scattered off a propagating bubble wall in the presence of longitudinal gauge field. It agrees with the expression used by Nasser…
Assuming that the 125 GeV particle observed at the LHC is a composite scalar and responsible for the electroweak gauge symmetry breaking, we consider the possibility that the bound state is generated by a non-Abelian gauge theory with…
The two-fermion bound system is an attractive subject of atomic and sub-atomic physics. Despite these systems are rather simple the study of two-particle bound states is challenging and still remains a source of progress in quantum theory.…
We present a workable model for the fermion-photon vertex, which is expressed solely in terms of functions that appear in the fermion propagator and independent of the angle between the relative momenta, and does not explicitly depend on…
A spin one-half particle propagating in a de Sitter background has a one parameter family of states which transform covariantly under the isometry group of the background. These states are the fermionic analogues of the alpha-vacua for a…
We write down an $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric extension for non-Abelian gauge theories in (1+3) dimensions with a Lorentz- and CPT-violating term of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw type. By including effects of the background (supersymmetric)…
We perform a 3D reduction of the two-fermion Bethe-Salpeter equation, by series expansion around a positive-energy instantaneous approximation of the Bethe-Salpeter kernel, followed by another series expansion at the 3D level in order to…
We present a covariant approach to describe the low--lying scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector mesons as quark--antiquark bound states.This approach is based on an effective interaction modeling of the non--perturbative structure…
We discuss ground state properties of a mixture of two fermion species which can bind to form a molecular boson. When the densities of the fermions are unbalanced, one or more Fermi surfaces can appear: we describe the constraints placed by…
