We re-evaluate the electromagnetic corrections to eta --> 3 pi decays at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, arguing that effects of order e^2(m_u-m_d) disregarded so far are not negligible compared to other contributions of…
A critical look is taken at the calculation of the Casimir effect. The boundary conditions play an important role and should be imposed in a physical way. An acceptable result for the vacuum energy is only obtained when different…
In this paper, we introduce an alternative representation of the electromagnetic field scattered from a homogeneous sphere coated with a homogeneous layer of uniform thickness. Specifically, we expand the scattered field using a set of…
We compute the leading radiative correction to the Casimir force between two parallel plates in the $\lambda\Phi^4$ theory. Dirichlet and periodic boundary conditions are considered. A heuristic approach, in which the Casimir energy is…
Second-order two-scale expansions, a unified proof for the regularity of the correctors based on the translation invariant and a lemma for extracting $O(\epsilon)$ from the remainder term are presented for the second order nonlinear…
The Casimir energy is computed in the geometry of interest for the most precise experiments, a plane and a sphere in electromagnetic vacuum. The scattering formula is developed on adapted plane-waves and multipole basis, leading to an…
The lateral Casimir force between two corrugated metallic plates makes possible a study of the nontrivial interplay of geometry and Casimir effect appearing beyond the regime of validity of the Proximity Force Approximation (PFA).…
Here is constructed a heuristic, first-order differential equation for the electromagnetic field in the vacuum, based on a phenomenological \textsl{ad hoc} argument. The formal similarity between this \textsl{ad hoc} wave equation and the…
We investigate the one-loop energy shift E to certain two-impurity string states in light-cone string field theory on a plane wave background. We find that there exist logarithmic divergences in the sums over intermediate mode numbers which…
We study quantum electrodynamics coupled to the matter field on singular background, which we call defect. For defect on the infinite plane we calculated the fermion propagator and mean electromagnetic field. We show that at large distances…
Using the method of retarded potentials approximate formulas are obtained that describe the electromagnetic field outside the relativistic uniform system in the form of a charged sphere rotating at a constant speed. For the near, middle and…
We introduce a new logic, called \emph{cluster first-order logic}, a restricted fragment of first-order logic specifically designed to study order invariance. An order-invariant formula is one on a vocabulary that contains an order;…
We revisit the two derivations of the PBE correlation functional: The real-space cut-off of the exchange-correlation hole and the imposition of exact conditions. These differ in the Lieb-Simon limit, exemplified by the scaling of neutral…
Pleba\'nski's class of nonlinear vacuum electrodynamics is considered which is for several reasons of interest at the present time. In particular the question is answered under which circumstances Maxwell's original field equations are…
We investigate interesting symmetry properties verified by the down-converted beams produced in optical parametric amplification with structured light. We show that the Poincar\'e sphere symmetry, previously demonstrated for first-order…
Relying on the redefined vacuum state approach, and based on one-particle three-loop Feynman diagrams, partial third-order interelectronic corrections to the valence electron energy shift are investigated in Li-like ions. The idea is to…
In this paper, we calculate the next to the leading order Casimir energy for real massive and massless scalar fields within $\lambda\phi^{4}$ theory, confined between two parallel plates with the Dirichlet boundary condition in two spatial…
Some cosmological consequences of first order quantum corrections to Maxwell electrodynamics are investigated in the context of a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe driven by a magnetic field plus a cosmological term…
The proximity force approximation (PFA) relates the interaction between closely spaced, smoothly curved objects to the force between parallel plates. Precision experiments on Casimir forces necessitate, and spur research on, corrections to…
We give an exact series expansion of the Casimir force between plane and spherical metallic surfaces in the non trivial situation where the sphere radius $R$, the plane-sphere distance $L$ and the plasma wavelength $\lambda_\P$ have…
