Investigating planar Proca metamaterials in nonlinear (2+1)-Electrodynamics

Widervan de Deus Morais, Stamatios Strikos, Ronaldo Thibes +1

The present work pursues the investigation of the physics of a planar electromagnetic system incorporating nonlinear effects, as well as de Broglie-Proca and Chern-Simons mass term…

Alternative classical Lagrangians for the Standard-Model Extension

João A. A. S. Reis, Marco Schreck, Ronaldo Thibes

The current paper introduces classical, relativistic Lagrangians for point-particle analogs to the field theory description of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) for Lorentz violat…

Invariant density statistical quantifiers and a temperature for the logistic map

Ignacio Sebastián Gomez, Guilherme Vieira Brito Junior, Samuel Silva Santos +2

In this work, we study the dynamics of the logistic map based on a probabilistic characterization in terms of the invariant density. We analyze the relevant regimes of the dynamics…

Forms of BRST symmetry on a Prototypical First-Class System

Sumit Kumar Rai, Bhabani Prasad Mandal, Ronaldo Thibes

We obtain the various forms of BRST symmetry by using the Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky formalism in a prototypical first class system. We have shown that the various forms of symmetr…

Partition function for position-dependent mass systems from superestatistics

Ignacio S. Gomez, Matheus Gabriel Alves Santos, Daniela de Almeida dos Santos +1

In this work, we show a connection between superstatistics and position-dependent mass (PDM) systems in the context of the canonical ensemble. The key point is to set the fluctuati…

Reduced-order Bopp-Podolsky model on the null-plane

Mario C. Bertin, Ronaldo Thibes

We consider the null-plane dynamics for a reduced-order version of the higher-derivatives Bopp-Podoslky generalized electrodynamics model. By introducing an auxiliary vector field,…

Revisiting the Immirzi parameter: Landauer's principle and alternative entropy frameworks in Loop Quantum Gravity

Everton M. C. Abreu, Jorge Ananias Neto, Ronaldo Thibes

This paper investigates the implications from area quantization in Loop Quantum Gravity, particularly focusing on the application of the Landauer principle -- a fundamental thermod…

Symplectic Quantization and General Constraint Structure of a Prototypical Second-Class System

Ignacio S. Gomez, Vipul Kumar Pandey, Ronaldo Thibes

We discuss a general prototypical constrained Hamiltonian system with a broad application in quantum field theory and similar contexts where dynamics is defined through a functiona…

Exploring modified Kaniadakis entropy: MOND-related theory, the Bekenstein bound conjecture, and Hawking evaporation within the Landauer principle

Gabriella V. Ambrósio, Michelly S. Andrade, Paulo R. F. Alves +3

We investigate the description of black-hole thermodynamics in terms of a recently proposed modified version for Kaniadakis entropy. We discuss the role of that proposal within the…

Small mass graviton propagator via finite-field-dependent BRST transformations in the critical dimension Siegel-Zwiebach action from string theory

Vipul Kumar Pandey, Ronaldo Thibes

We discuss the divergent graviton propagator massless limit problem in and show how it can be rigorously approached by interconnecting distinct gauge-fixed Siegel-Zwiebach g…

Note on an extended chiral bosons system contextualized in a modified gauge-unfixing formalism

Gabriella V. Ambrosio, Cleber N. Costa, Paulo R. F. Alves +2

We analyze the Hamiltonian structure of an extended chiral bosons theory in which the self-dual constraint is introduced via a control -parameter. The system has two second-clas…

Modified gauge unfixing formalism and gauge symmetries in the non-commutative chiral bosons theory

Cleber N. Costa, Gabriella V. Ambrósio, Paulo R. F. Alves +2

We use the gauge unfixing (GU) formalism framework in a two dimensional noncommutative chiral bosons (NCCB) model to disclose new hidden symmetries. That amounts to converting a se…

Gauge Symmetry of the Chiral Schwinger model from an improved Gauge Unfixing formalism

Gabriella V. Ambrosio, Cleber N. Costa, Paulo R. F. Alves +3

In this paper, the Hamiltonian structure of the bosonized chiral Schwinger model (BCSM) is analyzed. From the consistency condition of the constraints obtained from the Dirac metho…

New Forms of BRST Symmetry on a Prototypical First-Class System

Bhabani Prasad Mandal, Sumit Kumar Rai, Ronaldo Thibes

We scrutinize the many known forms of BRST symmetries, as well as some new ones, realized within a prototypical first-class system. Similarities and differences among ordinary BRST…

BFV quantization and BRST symmetries of the gauge invariant fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator

Bhabani Prasad Mandal, Vipul Kumar Pandey, Ronaldo Thibes

We perform the BFV-BRST quantization of the fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator (PUO). We show that although the PUO is not naturally constrained in the sense of Dirac-Bergmann,…
