We investigate the combined effects of a uniform magnetic field and boundary conditions on vacuum energy and topological mass generation in a coupled scalar field theory. The system consists of a real scalar field, subject to Dirichlet…
The ground state energy of a quantum field in the background of classical field configurations is considered. The subject of the ground state energy in framework of the quantum field theory is explained. The short review of calculation…
Total vacuum energy of some quantized fields in conical space with additional boundary conditions is calculated. These conditions are imposed on a cylindrical surface which is coaxial with the symmetry axis of conical space. The explicit…
The quantum vacuum fluctuations of a neutral scalar field induced by background zero-range potentials concentrated on a flat hyperplane of co-dimension $1$ in $(d+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime are investigated. Perfectly reflecting…
The response of vacuum to the presence of external conditions is the subject of this work. We consider a generalization of the Casimir effect in the presence of curved boundaries on which a sharp potential is concentrated. The profile of…
We present a calculation of the ground state energy of massive spinor fields and massive scalar fields in the background of an inhomogeneous magnetic string with potential given by a delta function. The zeta functional regularization is…
We study the confinement of charged Dirac particles in 3+1 space-time due to the presence of a constant and tilted magnetic field. We focus on the nature of the solutions of the Dirac equation and on how they depend on the choice of vector…
We compute the ground state energy of a massive scalar field in the background of a cylindrical shell whose potential is given by a delta function. The zero point energy is expressed in terms of the Jost function of the related scattering…
The vacuum energy of a scalar field in a spherically symmetric background field is considered. It is expressed through the Jost function of the corresponding scattering problem. The renormalization is discussed in detail and performed using…
In the Dirac operator framework we characterize and estimate the ground state energy of relativistic hydrogenic atoms in a constant magnetic field and describe the asymptotic regime corresponding to a large field strength using relativistic…
The quantum vacuum energy for a hybrid comb of Dirac $\delta$-$\delta'$ potentials is computed using the energy of the single $\delta$-$\delta'$ potential over the real line that makes up the comb. The zeta function of a comb periodic…
We calculate the one loop gluon vacuum energy in the background of a color magnetic vortex for SU(2) and SU(3). We use zeta functional regularization to obtain analytic expressions suitable for numerical treatment. The momentum integration…
The definition of the locally covariant Dirac field is adapted such that it may be charged under a gauge group and in the presence of generic gauge and Yukawa background fields. We construct renormalized Wick powers and time-ordered…
Values for the vacuum energy of scalar fields under Dirichlet and Neuman boundary conditions on an infinite clylindrical surface are found, and they happen to be of opposite signs. In contrast with classical works, a complete zeta function…
In this contribution we study the Landau levels arising within the relativistic quantum dynamics of a neutral particle which possesses a permanent magnetic dipole moment interacting with an external electric field. We consider the…
In 2+1 dimensions there exists a duality between a charged Dirac particle coupled minimally to a background vector potential and a neutral one coupled nonminimally to a background electromagnetic field strength. A constant uniform…
In a space of arbitrary dimensions, the effect of an external magnetic field on the vacuum of a quantized charged scalar field is studied for the field configuration in the form of a singular vortex. The zeta-function technique is used to…
The Dirac equation with a U(1) vortex in the mass-term is solved in the presence of magnetic-like fields at zero energy. By drawing an analogy to classical mechanics, it is shown that the four-component Dirac equation in arbitrary magnetic…
The relativistic invariant zeta-function approach to computation of the vacuum energy contribution to cosmological constant is discussed. It is shown that this value is determined by the fourth power of the quantized field mass, while the…
We consider the ground state energy of a spinor field in the background of a square well shaped magnetic flux tube. We use the zeta- function regularization and express the ground state energy as an integral involving the Jost function of a…
