For a believer in locality of Nature, the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Aharonov-Casher effect are paradoxes. I discuss these and other Aharonov's paradoxes and propose a local explanation of these effects. If the solenoid in the…
Spin space groups, formed by operations where the rotation of the spins is independent of the accompanying operation acting on the crystal structure, are appropriate groups to describe the symmetry of magnetic structures with null…
The conditions for occurrence of the Efimov effect is briefly described using hyperspherical coordinates. The strength of the effective hyperradial $\rho^{-2}$ potential appearing for two or three large scattering lengths is computed and…
By using the technique of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we study a quasi exactly solvable extension of the N-particle rational Calogero model with harmonic confining interaction. Such quasi exactly solvable many particle system, whose…
In this work, we study the scattering of a spinless charged particle constrained to move on a curved surface in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm potential. We begin with the equations of motion for the surface and transverse dynamics…
The study of charge symmetry violation in nuclear physics is a potentially enormous subject. Through a few topical examples we aim to show that it is not a subject of peripheral interest but rather goes to the heart of our understanding of…
We derive stability conditions of Asymmetric Nuclear Matter ($ANM$) and discuss the relation to mechanical and chemical instabilities of general two-component systems. We show that the chemical instability may appear as an instability of…
We consider a particle in a coherent superposition of states with different electric charge moving in the vicinity of a magnetic flux. Formally, it should acquire a (gauge-dependent) AB relative phase between the charge states, even for an…
The quantum spin $1/2$ XXZ chain with anisotropy parameter $\Delta=-1/2$ possesses a dynamic supersymmetry on the lattice. This supersymmetry and a generalisation to higher spin are investigated in the case of open spin chains. A family of…
We use a covariant formalism that is capable of describing the electric and magnetic versions of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, as well as the Aharonov-Casher effect, through local interactions of charges and currents with the quantum…
For the super AKNS system, an implicit symmetry constraint between the potentials and the eigenfunctions is proposed. After introducing some new variables to explicitly express potentials, the super AKNS system is decomposed into two…
The possible existence of short-range forces between unpolarized and polarized spin-1/2 particles has attracted the attention of physicists for decades. These forces are predicted in various theories and provide a possible new source for…
We discuss some issues related to spontaneous N=2-> N=1 supersymmetry breaking. In particular, we state a set of geometrical conditions which are necessary that such a breaking occurs. Furthermore, we discuss the low energy N=1 effective…
From the interaction of the permanent magnetic dipole moment of a neutral particle with an electric field inside a long non-conducting cylindrical shell of inner radius $r_{a}$ and outer radius $r_{b}$, we show that a geometric quantum…
We establish that the Pauli operator describing a spin-1/2 two-dimensional quantum system with a singular magnetic field has, under certain conditions, an infinite-dimensional space of zero modes, possibly, both spin-up and spin-down,…
The hamiltonian of an asymmetric diffusion process with injection and ejection of particles at the ends of a chain of finite length is known to be relevant to that of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain with integrable boundary terms. However, the…
The hyperbolic spin chain is used to elucidate the notion of spontaneous symmetry breaking for a non-amenable internal symmetry group, here SO(1,2). The noncompact symmetry is shown to be spontaneously broken -- something which would be…
Using phenomenological equations of state, we study the chemical and mechanical instabilities in hot isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. Both instabilities are found to depend strongly on the isospin asymmetry of the nuclear matter. For a…
Many-particle confinement (localization) is studied for a 1D system of spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor hopping and interaction, or equivalently, for an anisotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain. This system is frequently used to model…
The processes with three or more charged particles in the final state exhibit particular threshold behavior, as inferred by the famous Wannier law for (2e + ion) system. We formulate a general solution which determines the threshold…
