[abbreviated] Long-lived, large-scale magnetic field configurations exist in upper main sequence, white dwarf, and neutron stars. Externally, these fields have a strong dipolar component, while their internal structure and evolution are…
Magnetic fields in upper main-sequence stars, white dwarfs, and neutron stars are known to persist for timescales comparable to their lifetimes. From a theoretical perspective this is problematic, as it can be shown that simple magnetic…
Within the framework of classical field theory, the connection between the Dirac field as the field of matter and the spacetime metric is discussed. Polarization structure of the Dirac field is shown to be rich enough to determine the…
We investigate the chiral magnetic instability in the crust of a neutron star as a potential mechanism for amplifying magnetic fields. This instability may become active when small deviations from chemical equilibrium are sustained over…
The internal stability of the electron has been debated for a century at both the classical and the quantum level. Recently, a local force density balance was established for the 1s electron in the H atom, based on the energy-momentum…
Upper main sequence stars, white dwarfs and neutron stars are known to possess stable, large-scale magnetic fields. Numerical works have confirmed that stable MHD equilibria can exist in non-barotropic, stably stratified stars. On the other…
The ambiguity involved in the definition of effective-mass Hamiltonians for nonrelativistic models is resolved using the Dirac equation. The multistep approximation is extended for relativistic cases allowing the treatment of arbitrary…
Dirac operators on curved space-times are introduced with the help of a new point-view that observers have to be included in the formulation of natural laws. The class of Dirac operators are Lorentz invariant in the sense that the…
The study of the magnetic field in stellar radiation zones is an important topic in modern astrophysics because the magnetic field can play an important role in several transport phenomena such as mixing and angular momentum transport. We…
The problem of the stability of magnetic fields in stars has a long history and has been investigated in detail in perturbation theory. Here we consider the nonlinear evolution of a non-rotating neutron star with a purely poloidal magnetic…
The fundamental solution of the Dirac equation for an electron in an electromagnetic field with harmonic dependence on space-time coordinates is obtained. The field is composed of three standing plane harmonic waves with mutually orthogonal…
Magneto-rotational instability (MRI) is an important instability mechanism for rotating flows with magnetic fields. In particular, when the strength of the magnetic field tends to zero, the stability criterion for rotating flows is…
This paper provides a brief overview of the formation of stellar fossil magnetic fields and what potential instabilities may occur given certain configurations of the magnetic field. In particular, a purely magnetic instability can occur…
Motivated by the possibility of radiation driven instabilities in rotating magnetic stars, we study the stability properties of general linear perturbations of a stationary and axisymmetric, infinitely conducting perfect fluid configuration…
Magnetic field is unstable in a medium with time-independent chiral conductivity. Owing to the chiral anomaly, the electromagnetic field and the medium exchange helicity which results in time-evolution of the chiral conductivity. Using the…
The idea of determining the magnetic resonance condition in a rotating frame of reference is being studied. In this frame, the rotating magnetic field should be at rest. The 3D transformation that determines the transition to the frame is…
The stability of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating stars is explored, using 3D numerical hydrodynamics to follow the evolution of an initial poloidal field. It is found that the field is subject to an instability, located initially on…
We investigate the stability of scalar perturbations around a magnetized stationary compact object in General Relativity. The considered object is one of the simplest exact solutions of Einstein electrovacuum equations corresponding to a…
We consider wave functions in the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}=L^2(\mathbb{R}^3,\mathbb{C}^4)$ of a single Dirac particle, specifically from the positive-energy subspace $\mathcal{H}_+$ of the free Dirac Hamiltonian. Over the decades, various…
We deal with Dirac operators with external homogeneous magnetic fields. Hardy-type inequalities related to these operators are investigated: for a suitable class of transversal magnetic fields, we prove a Hardy inequality with the same best…
