Composite hadronic states exhibit interesting properties in the presence of very intense magnetic fields, such as those conjectured to exist in the vicinity of certain astrophysical objects. We discuss three scenarios. (i) The presence of…
A photon exhibits a tiny anomalous magnetic moment $\mu_{\gamma}$ due to its interaction with an external constant magnetic field in vacuum through the virtual electron-positron background. It is paramagnetic ($\mu_{\gamma}>0$) in the whole…

We use Pade Approximants to obtain improved predictions for the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the muon. These are needed because of the very precise experimental values presently obtained for the electron, and soon to be…
We deal with the problem of assigning electromagnetic moments to a quasi-stable particle (i.e., a particle with mass located at particle's decay threshold). In this case, an application of a small external electromagnetic field changes the…
The first order quantum correction to the power of spontaneous radiation of electrons in an arbitrary two-component periodic magnetic field was obtained. The phenomenon of selfpolarization of the spin of electrons in a process of…

The geometrical spin torque mediates an indirect interaction of magnetic moments, which are weakly exchange coupled to a system of itinerant electrons. It originates from a finite spin-Berry curvature and leads to a non-Hamiltonian…

The paper analyzes time propagation of Dirac observables - using Heisenberg representation - in the light of various pseudodifferential operator algebras (cf. [Co3], [Co15], [Co16]). Our theory gives (i) a mechanical angular momentum (the…
Astronomical observations have a unique ability to determine the laws of physics at distant times in the universe. They, therefore, have particular relevance in answering the basic question as to whether the laws of physics are invariant…
Laser assisted Coulomb scattering by relativistic electron and heavy electron (muon) is studied by using Salamin waves (Salamin 1993) in the Weak Field Approximation (WFA). Both electron and muon are described by the Dirac equation, with…
We report a new determination of the strange quark contribution to the proton's magnetic form factor at a four-momentum transfer Q2 = 0.1 (GeV/c)^2 from parity-violating e-p elastic scattering. The result uses a revised analysis of data…

We calculate the anomalous magnetic moment for muons at one loop level arising from left right symmetric excited leptons which are excited states of known standard model leptons. Such excited states arise in compositeness theories where the…
