We provide the first step towards renormalization in a nonminimal Lorentz-violating model consisting of normal scalars and modified fermions with mass dimension five operators. We compute the radiative corrections corresponding to the…

This paper begins with a summary of a powerful formalism for the study of electronic states in condensed matter physics called "Gauge Theory of States/Phases of Matter." The chiral anomaly, which plays quite a prominent role in that…

In this paper, the Cherenkov radiation process is investigated in the frame of the Quantum Field Theory, both for the spinless and spin-1/2 charged particles. In the latter case, the polarization density matrix technique was used to account…

The space-time curvature carried by electromagnetic fields is discovered and a new unification of geometry and electromagnetism is found. Curvature is invariant under charge reversal symmetry. Electromagnetic field equations are examined…

Models with classical scale symmetry, which feature radiative symmetry breaking, generically lead to a supercooled first-order phase transition in the early Universe resulting in a strong gravitational-wave signal, potentially observable by…

We study topologically massive (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The masses of the linearized curvature excitations about AdS_3 backgrounds are not only shifted from their flat background values but, more…

A brief introduction to topological phases is provided, considering several two-band Hamiltonians in one- and two-dimensions. Relevant concepts of the topological insulator theory, such as: Berry phase, Chern number, and the quantum…

Parity-violating electron-scattering provides a largely model independent way of measuring neutron densities in nuclei that has important implications for the structure of nuclei and neutron stars. In this paper we calculate radiative…

It is well-known that parity symmetry is broken in the weak interaction but conserved for Einstein's general relativity and Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. Nevertheless, parity symmetry could also be violated in the…

We study a non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory in $ 2+ 1$ dimensions with the inclusion of an anomalous magnetic interaction. For a particular relation between the Chern-Simons (CS) mass and the anomalous magnetic coupling the equations…

We illuminate the importance of a self-consistent many-body treatment in calculations of vacuum polarization corrections to the energies of atomic orbitals in many-electron atoms. Including vacuum polarization in the atomic Hamiltonian…

Lorentz- and CPT-violating models of electrodynamics with Chern-Simons terms are typically plagued by various sorts of instabilities. However, when the Chern-Simons term arises from a slow time variation in a pseudoscalar field with an…

Non-Abelian gauge theories "live" in a space-time with non-trivial topology that can be characterized by an odd-dimensional Chern-Simons form. In QCD, Chern-Simons form is induced by the chiral anomaly and the presence of topological…

Considering bilayer systems as extensions of the planar ones by an internal space of two discrete points, we use the ideas of Noncommutative Geometry to construct the gauge theories for these systems. After integrating over the discrete…

The emergence of a scale hierarchy in the case of spontaneous radiative breaking of conformal symmetry is discussed using the example of a simple quantum field theory model. The Coleman-Weinberg mechanism is implemented in the one-loop…

We investigate the non-relativistic limit of the Klein--Gordon equation for mixed scalar particles and show that, in this regime, one unavoidably arrives at redefining the particle's inertial mass. This happens because, in contrast to the…

The model of nonrelativistic particles coupled to nonstandard (2+1)-gravity [1] is extended to include Abelian or non-Abelian charges coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. Equivalently, the model may be viewed as describing the (Abelian or…

We consider the gravitation-dilaton theory (not necessarily exactly solvable), whose potentials represent a generic linear combination of an exponential and linear functions of the dilaton. A black hole, arising in such theories, is…

Regularization of quantum field theories introduces a mass scale which breaks axial rotational and scaling invariances. We demonstrate from first principles that axial torsion and torsion trace modes have non-transverse vacuum polarization…

Recent progress in calculations of QED radiative corrections to parity nonconservation in atoms is reviewed. The QED vacuum polarization, the self-energy corrections and the vertex corrections are shown to be described very reliably by…
