We consider the static quantum potential for a gauge theory which includes a light massive vector field interacting with the familiar U (1) QED photon via a Chern–Simons-like coupling, by using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism. An exactly screening phase is then obtained, which displays a marked departure of a qualitative nature from massive axionic electrodynamics. The above static potential profile is similar to that encountered in axionic electrodynamics consisting of a massless axion-like field, as well as to that encountered in the coupling between the familiar U (1) QED photon and a second massive gauge field living in the so-called U (1)h hidden-sector, inside a superconducting box.

The Time Domain

In this paper, we report the results of a detailed investigation of the complete time evolution of massless fermion fields propagating in spacetimes of higher-dimensional stringy black hole solutions, obtained from intersecting branes in string/M theory. We write the Dirac equation in D-dimensional spacetime in a form suitable to perform a numerical integration of it, and using a Prony fitting of the time domain data, we determine the quasinormal frequencies that characterize the test field evolution at intermediary times. We also present the results obtained for the quasinormal frequencies using a sixth-order WKB approximation, that are in perfect agreement with the numerical results. The power-law exponents that describe the field relaxation at very late-times are also determined, and we show that they depends upon the dimensionality of spacetime, and are identical to that associated with the relaxation of boson fields for odd dimensions. The dependence of the frequencies and damping factor of the spinor field with the charges of the stringy black hole are studied.

Confinement Condition

Our objective is to identify two-dimensional equations that model an obstacle problem for a linearly elastic elliptic membrane shell subjected to a confinement condition expressing that all the points of the admissible deformed configurations remain in a given half-space. To this end, we embed the shell into a family of linearly elastic elliptic membrane shells, all sharing the same middle surface [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a domain in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a smooth enough immersion, all subjected to this confinement condition, and whose thickness [Formula: see text] is considered as a “small” parameter approaching zero. We then identify, and justify by means of a rigorous asymptotic analysis as [Formula: see text] approaches zero, the corresponding “limit” two-dimensional variational problem. This problem takes the form of a set of variational inequalities posed over a convex subset of the space [Formula: see text]. The confinement condition considered here considerably departs from the Signorini condition usually considered in the existing literature, where only the “lower face” of the shell is required to remain above the “horizontal” plane. Such a confinement condition renders the asymptotic analysis substantially more difficult, however, as the constraint now bears on a vector field, the displacement vector field of the reference configuration, instead of on only a single component of this field.

Quantum field theory allows for the suppression of vacuum fluctuations, leading to sub-vacuum phenomena. One of these is the appearance of local negative energy density. Selected aspects of negative energy will be reviewed, including the quantum inequalities which limit its magnitude and duration. However, these inequalities allow the possibility that negative energy and related effects might be observable. Some recent proposals for experiments to search for sub-vacuum phenomena will be discussed. Fluctuations of the energy density around its mean value will also be considered, and some recent results on a probability distribution for the energy density in two dimensional spacetime are summarized.

In recent years, theories in which the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian is replaced by a function f(R) of the Ricci Scalar have been extensively studied in four-dimensional spacetime. In this paper we carry out an analysis of such theories in two-dimensional spacetime with focus on cosmological implications. Solutions to the cosmological field equations are obtained and their properties are analysed. Inflationary solutions are also obtained and discussed. Quantization is then carried out, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is set up, and its exact solutions are obtained.

Gauge Symmetries

The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is a common feature of phase transitions in both classical and quantum physics. In a first part we study this phenomenon for the case of a global internal symmetry and give a simple proof of Goldstone’s theorem. We show that a massless excitation appears, corresponding to every generator of a spontaneously broken symmetry. In a second part we extend these ideas to the case of gauge symmetries and derive the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism. We show that the gauge boson associated with the spontaneously broken generator acquires a mass and the corresponding field, which would have been the Goldstone boson, decouples and disappears. Its degree of freedom is used to allow the transition from a massless to a massive vector field.
