Quantum field theory (QFT) is supposed to be gauge invariant. However it has been well established that a direct calculation of the vacuum polarization tensor produces a non-gauge invariant result. In this paper it will be shown that this…
In this work, we propose an efficient and accurate computational method to evaluate the many-potential $\alpha\left(Z\alpha\right)^{n\ge3}$ vacuum polarization density of hydrogen-like atoms within the finite-basis approximation of the…
The Dirac equation is used to describe oblique spin-conserving and spin-flip reflections of relativistic electrons from a one-dimensional potential barrier in a vacuum. When an electron hits the barrier from an oblique direction, its…
We consider a Dirac electron in the presence of an exponentially decaying magnetic field. We obtain exact energy eigenvalues with a zero-energy state and the corresponding eigenfunctions. We also calculate the probability density and…
In this brief review, we survey the problem of electrostatic confinement of massless Dirac particles, via a number of exactly solvable one- and two-body models. By considering bound states at zero energy, we present a route to obtain truly…
Formalisms for both non-relativistic as well as relativistic versions of field emission of electrons in presence of strong quantizing magnetic field, relevant for strongly magnetized neutron stars or magnetars are developed. In the…
Changes in the magnetic moment of an electron near a dielectric or conducting surface due to boundary-dependent radiative corrections are investigated. The electromagnetic field is quantized by normal mode expansion for a non-dispersive…
Electrons are offered a valley degree of freedom in presence of particular lattice structures. Manipulating valley degeneracy is the subject matter of an emerging field of investigation, mostly focused on charge transport in graphene. In…
Thermal radiation from bulk disorderly placed nonresonant emitters is incoherent, broadband and isotropic. In an external magnetic field the thermal radiation from any source is circularly polarized. Here we propose a thermal radiation…
In this paper we consider a charged massless scalar quantum field operator in the spacetime of an idealized cosmic string, i.e., an infinitely long, straight and static cosmic string, which presents a magnetic field confined in a…
We modify and generalize the known solution for the electromagnetic field when a vacuum, stationary, axisymmetric black hole is immersed in a uniform magnetic field to the case of nonvacuum black holes (of modified gravity) and determine…
We derive a Cooper-Frye type spin polarization formula for Dirac fermions at local thermal equilibrium described by a grand canonical ensemble specified by temperature, fluid velocity, chemical potential, and spin potential. We discuss the…
We present Monte Carlo simulations of radiative transfer in magnetar atmospheres. We include the effects of vacuum polarization, electron and proton scattering, and free-free absorption. Simulations are performed for the atmosphere model…
The effects of the Dirac sea of the nucleons are investigated within a covariant model of the hadronic interaction. We extend the usual Mean Field Approximation and present a procedure to deal with divergences which are proportional to…
We perform rigorously the charge renormalization of the so-called reduced Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock (rBDF) model. This nonlinear theory, based on the Dirac operator, describes atoms and molecules while taking into account vacuum polarization…
We calculate the vacuum polarization-induced ellipticity acquired by a linearly polarized laser beam of angular frequency $\bar \omega$ on traversing a region containing a transverse magnetic field rotating with a small angular velocity…
According to Dirac's theory of the positron, an electromagnetic field tends to create pairs of particles which leads to a change of Maxwell's equations in the vacuum. These changes are calculated in the special case that no real electrons…
The Pauli equation, an important equation of quantum mechanics, allows us to study the dynamics of spin-$1/2$ particles. The Dunkl derivative, when used instead of the ordinary derivative, leads to obtaining parity-dependent solutions.…
A novel polarisation modulation scheme for polarimeters based on Fabry-Perot cavities is presented. The application to the proposed HERA-X experiment aiming to measuring the magnetic birefringence of vacuum with the HERA superconducting…
The vacuum dynamics of SU(2) lattice gauge theory is studied by means of a gauge-invariant effective action, both at zero and finite temperature. Working with lattices up to 32^4 we check the scaling of the energy density with the magnetic…
