A fermion primer
Loriano Bonora, Roberto Soldati
This is a review paper intended to illustrate a few critical issues concerning Dirac, Weyl and Majorana fermions and their differences. The first part consists in basic introductio…
Dirac, Majorana, Weyl in 4d
L. Bonora, R. Soldati, S. Zalel
This is a review of some elementary properties of Dirac, Weyl and Majorana spinors in 4d. We focus in particular on the differences between massless Dirac and Majorana fermions, on…
Emission of photons by quasiparticles in Weyl semimetals
Alexander Andrianov, Roberto Soldati, Dmitri Vassilevich
We show that quasiparticles in Weyl semimetals may decay with emission of a single photon. We study the spectrum of emitted photons and estimate the decay rates.
On the trace anomaly for Weyl fermions
Loriano Bonora, Roberto Soldati
This note is a comment on some recent papers that have raised a controversy about the existence of the odd-parity trace anomaly in a four-dimensional theory of Weyl fermions. Witho…
On the Massless Vector Fields in a Rindler Space
Roberto Soldati, Caterina Specchia
We study the quantum theory of the mass-less vector fields on the Rindler space. We evaluate the Bogoliubov coefficients by means of a new technique based upon the use of light-fro…
Neutral Massive Spin 1/2 Particles Emission in a Rindler Spacetime
Pietro Longhi, Roberto Soldati
The Unruh effect for the rate of emission and absorption of neutral massive Majorana spinor particles -- the most plausible consituents of Dark Matter -- in a Rindler spacetime is…
