We review different definitions of the current density for quantized fermions in the presence of an external electromagnetic field. Several deficiencies in the popular prescription due to Schwinger and the mode sum formula for static…

We study the spin polarization of the electrons on the surface of topological insulators under a dc electric field or a circularly polarized light by using Keldysh Green's function formalism. When a dc electric field $E_x \sim 10^{3} {\rm…

We show that an initially unpolarized electron flow acquires spin polarization after passing through a lateral barrier in two-dimensional (2D) system with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) even if the current is directed normally to the barrier.…

In order to reduce the current hadronic uncertainties in the theory prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, lattice calculations need to reach sub-percent accuracy on the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution. This…

In Rindler space, we determine in terms of special functions the expression of the static, massive scalar or vector field generated by a point source. We find also an explicit integral expression of the induced electrostatic potential…

Non-perturbative vacuum polarization effects are explored for a supercritical Dirac-Coulomb system with $Z > Z_{cr,1}$ in 2+1 D, based on the original combination of analytical methods, computer algebra and numerical calculations, proposed…

The essentially non-perturbative vacuum polarization effects, caused by an extended external supercritical Coulomb source, are explored for a planar Dirac-Coulomb (DC) system with strong coupling (similar to graphene and graphene-based…

Using the in-out formalism, we derive the exact one-loop QED effective actions for spinor field in a uniform electric field in two-dimensional global (anti-)de Sitter (A)dS$_2$ spacetime. The one-loop effective action probed by a scalar or…

Recently, the Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal collaboration achieved sub-percent precision in the evaluation of the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon $g_\mu-2$ (arXiv:hep-lat/2002.12347v3). At this level of…

We present a numerical study of magnetic phases of the 2D electron gas near freezing. The calculations are performed by diffusion Monte Carlo in the fixed node approximation. At variance with the 3D case we find no evidence for the…

There is controversy as to whether a one-dimensional (1D) electron gas can spin polarise in the absence of a magnetic field. Together with a simple model, we present conductance measurements on ultra low-disorder quantum wires supportive of…

The effect of vacuum polarization of charged massive fermions in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) potential in 2+1 dimensions is investigated. The causal Green's function of the Dirac equation with the AB potential is represented via the regular and…

In this paper, we analyze the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor associated with a charged and massive scalar quantum field in a generalized $(D+1)$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space in the…

We investigate the Casimir effect at finite temperature for a charged scalar field in the presence of an external uniform and constant magnetic field, perpendicular to the Casimir plates. We have used a boundary condition characterized by a…

The exploitation of the spin in charge-based systems is opening revolutionary opportunities for device architecture. Surprisingly, room temperature electrical transport through magnetic nanowires is still an unresolved issue. Here, we show…

We revisit the path integral computation of the Casimir energy between two infinite parallel plates placed in a QED vacuum. We implement perfectly magnetic conductor boundary conditions (as a prelude to the dual superconductor picture of…

Vacuum polarization integrals involve the vector spectral functions which can be experimentally determined from two sources: (i) e+e- annihilation cross sections and (ii) hadronic tau decays. Recently results with comparable precision have…

In this paper we analyze the vacuum expectation values of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor associated to a massive scalar field in a higher dimensional cosmic string spacetime, obeying Dirichlet or Neumann boundary…

The quantum vacuum becomes unstable under an external field, leading to spontaneous particle-antiparticle pair creation. In canonical quantization, the time-dependent particle number, defined via Bogoliubov transformations lacks physical…

Linear and nonlinear transport of quantum wires is investigated at a magnetic field where spin-split one-dimensional (1D) subbands are equidistant in energy. In this seldom-studied regime, experiments are consistent with a density-dependent…
