An analytic method of describing -related quantities in QCD
K. A. Milton, I. L. Solovtsov, O. P. Solovtsova
A model based on the analytic approach to QCD, involving a summation of threshold singularities and taking into account the nonperturbative character of the light quark masses, is…
PT-Symmetric Versus Hermitian Formulations of Quantum Mechanics
Carl M. Bender, Jun-Hua Chen, Kimball A. Milton
A non-Hermitian Hamiltonian that has an unbroken PT symmetry can be converted by means of a similarity transformation to a physically equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian. This raises…
Green's Dyadic Approach of the Self-Stress on a Dielectric-Diamagnetic Cylinder with Non-Uniform Speed of Light
Ines Cavero-Pelaez, Kimball A. Milton
We present a Green's dyadic formulation to calculate the Casimir energy for a dielectric-diamagnetic cylinder with the speed of light differing on the inside and outside. Although…
Quantum mechanics using Fradkin's representation
K. V. Shajesh, Kimball A. Milton
Fradkin's representation is a general method of attacking problems in quantum field theory, having as its basis the functional approach of Schwinger. As a pedagogical illustration…
Surface Divergences and Boundary Energies in the Casimir Effect
K. A. Milton, I. Cavero-Pelaez, J. Wagner
Although Casimir, or quantum vacuum, forces between distinct bodies, or self-stresses of individual bodies, have been calculated by a variety of different methods since 1948, they…
Local Casimir Energies for a Thin Spherical Shell
Ines Cavero-Pelaez, Kimball A. Milton, Jeffrey Wagner
The local Casimir energy density for a massless scalar field associated with step-function potentials in a 3+1 dimensional spherical geometry is considered. The potential is chosen…
Casimir Energy for a Purely Dielectric Cylinder by the Mode Summation Method
August Romeo, Kimball A. Milton
We use the mode summation method together with zeta-function regularization to compute the Casimir energy of a dilute dielectric cylinder. The method is very transparent, and sheds…
PT-Symmetric Quantum Electrodynamics
Carl M. Bender, Ines Cavero-Pelaez, Kimball A. Milton +1
The Hamiltonian for quantum electrodynamics becomes non-Hermitian if the unrenormalized electric charge is taken to be imaginary. However, if one also specifies that the potent…
