Scalar-tensor gravity and Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics with bosons: applications to superconductors
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
We study a scalar-tensor extension of gravity with two scalar fields coupled to the Aharonov-Bohm extension of electrodynamics, where the scalar mode is dy…
Gauge waves generation and detection in Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
The extended Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics has a simple formal structure and allows to couple the e.m. field also to currents which are not locally conserved, like those resulting…
Are current discontinuities in molecular devices experimentally observable?
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
An ongoing debate in the first-principles description of conduction in molecular devices concerns the correct definition of current in the presence of non-local potentials. If the…
Generalized local charge conservation in many-body quantum mechanics
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
In the framework of the quantum theory of many-particle systems, we study the compatibility of approximated Non-Equilibrium Green Functions (NEGFs) and of approximated solutions of…
Simple circuit and experimental proposal for the detection of gauge-waves
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics predicts the existence of traveling waves of pure potentials, with zero electromagnetic fields, denoted as gauge waves, or g-waves for short. In gener…
Beyond minimal coupling for charged scalars? Modified electrodynamics and London-penetration tests
F. Minotti, G. Modanese
We discuss an effective modification of the electromagnetic coupling for charged scalar condensates. The motivation is not an inconsistency of standard scalar QED, but a semiclassi…
