In this paper, the propagator of a two-dimensional Dirac oscillator in the presence of a uniform electric field is derived by using the path integral technique. The fact that the globally named approach is used in this work redirects, beforehand, our search for the propagator of the Dirac equation to that of the propagator of its quadratic form. The internal motions relative to the spin are represented by two fermionic oscillators, which are described by Grassmannian variables, according to Schwinger’s fermionic model. Once the integration over the anticommuting variables (Grassmannian variables) is accomplished, the problem becomes the one of finding a non-relativistic propagator with only bosonic variables. The energy spectrum of the electron and the corresponding eigenspinors are also obtained in this work.

The one-loop partition functions of the superconformal Thirring model for first order b − c and β − γ ghost fields are studied for both closed and open string boundary conditions. Bosonized partition functions are given by formal series which usually diverge because the energy spectrum of the theory is unbounded below as a correlate of nonunitarity. However, the same partition functions are then calculated by path integral methods directly in the fermionic formulation, and well-defined (convergent) integral representations are obtained. A formal series expansion of those integrals reproduces the bosonized partition functions.

We study a constrained fermionic model involving non-trivial topological gauge configurations. After a path-integral treatment of the topologically trivial degrees of freedom we show that the resulting effective theory is equivalent to a Coulomb gas theory with a "background charge" at infinity plus a b, c ghost system. The Virasoro central charge of the theory is found to be independent of the topological sector.

We will study the splitting in the energy spectrum of the hydrogen atom subjected to an uniform electric field (Stark effect) with the Heisenberg algebra deformed leading to the minimum length. We will use the perturbation theory for cases not degenerate (n[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]1) and degenerate (n[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]2), along with known results of corrections in these levels caused by the minimum length applied purely to the hydrogen atom, so that we may find and estimate the corrections of minimum length applied to the Stark effect.

We introduce coupling to three-vector potential in the (3+1)-dimensional Dirac equation. The potential is noncentral (angular-dependent) such that the Dirac equation separates completely in spherical coordinates. The relativistic energy spectrum and spinor wave functions are obtained for the case where the radial component of the vector potential is proportional to 1/r. The coupling presented in this work is a generalization of the one which was introduced by Moshinsky and Szczepaniak for the Dirac-oscillator problem.

We consider non-stationary convective mass transfer in a binary system comprising a stationary dielectric two-dimensional fluid drop embedded into an immiscible dielectric liquid under the influence of a constant uniform electric field. The partial differential equation of diffusion is solved by means of a similarity transformation, and the solution is obtained in a closed analytical form. Dependence of Sherwood number vs. the strength of the applied electric field is analyzed. It is shown that an electric field can be used for enhancement of the rate of mass transfer in terrestrial and reduced gravity environments.
