Semiclassical expansion of the Wigner function for spin-1/2 fermions having an effective spacetime-dependent mass is used to analyze spin-polarization effects. The existing framework is reformulated to obtain a differential equation…
In bound systems whose constituent particles are heavier than the electron, the dominant radiative correction to energy levels is given by light-fermion (electronic) vacuum polarization. In consequence, relativistic and recoil corrections…
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…
Non-time-orthogonal analysis of rotating frames is applied to objects in gravitational orbits and found to be internally consistent. The object's surface speed about its axis of rotation, but not its orbital speed, is shown to be readily…
Considerations on the complementary time-dependent coordinate transformations emboding Lorentz transformation (LT) show that the relativistic energy-momentum relationship, implicitly the relativistic mass and energy, do not depend on the…
An apparent paradox in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, known as a Thomas precession rotation in atomic physics, has been verified experimentally in a number of ways. However, somewhat surprisingly, it has not yet been demonstrated…
We discuss classical and quantum corrections to Thomson scattering between an electron and a laser. For radiation reaction, nonlinear, and quantum effects we identify characteristic dimensionless parameters in terms of which we determine…
In Loop Quantum Cosmology, the quantization of the Hamiltonian constraint involves a regularization procedure which is affected by certain ambiguities. Moreover, different regularizations lead to distinct mathematical formulations and,…
I discuss the scope and naturalness of the proton mass decomposition (or sum rule) published in PRL74, 1071 (1995) and answer a few criticisms that appeared recently in the literature, focusing particularly on its interpretation and the…
We study the synchrotron radiation emitted by a charged fermion, rotating as a part of a larger system, in a constant magnetic field $B$ parallel to the axis of rotation. The rotation is classical and independent of the magnetic field. The…
With consideration of quantization of space, we relate Newton's gravitation with the Second Law of thermodynamics. This leads to a correction to its original form, which takes into consideration the role of classical measurement. Our…
We suggest a phenomenological theory of the polarization conversions effect, an excitonic analog of the first-order spatial dispersion phenomena which is, however, observed in the photoluminescence rather than in the passing light. The…
Eigenvectors of stress-energy tensor (the source in Einstein's equations) form privileged bases in description of the corresponding space-times. When one or more of these vector fields are rotating (the property well determined in…
We consider the physics of free precession of a rotating neutron star with an oblique magnetic field. We show that if the magnetic stresses are large enough, then there is no possibility of steady rotation, and precession is inevitable.…
We argue that a non commutative geometry at the Compton scale is at the root of mass, Quantum Mechanical spin and QCD and electromagnetic interactions. It also leads to a reconciliation of linearized General Relativity and Quantum Theory.
The effect of quantum vacuum on spin precession is investigated. The radiation reaction is obtained and the time of spin flip (up state to down state) or spontaneous decay, is calculated.
Effects of an incoming spin-polarized current on a magnetic moment are explored. We found that the spin torque occurs only when the incoming spin changes as a function of time inside of the magnetic film. This implies that some…
In a previous paper [quant-ph/0207017] I gave an elementary proof, starting from stated assumptions of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, that identical spin-zero particles must be bosons. Since then it has been suggested that my proof…
We study the spin transport of light in weakly inhomogeneous axion field in a flat Robertson-Walker universe and derive the spin Hall effect for circularly polarized rays. Regarding primordial quantum fluctuations of the axion field in the…
A pure spin current formed by opposite spins moving in opposite directions is a rank-2 axial tensor which breaks the inversion symmetry. Thus a spin current has a second-order optical susceptibility, with unique polarization-dependence…
