A Nernst current from the conformal anomaly in Dirac and Weyl semimetals
M. N. Chernodub, A. Cortijo, M. A. H. Vozmediano
We show that a conformal anomaly in Weyl/Dirac semimetals generates a bulk electric current perpendicular to a temperature gradient and the direction of a background magnetic field…
The Casimir effect and deconfinement phase transition
M. N. Chernodub, V. A. Goy, A. V. Molochkov
We show that the Casimir effect may lead to a deconfinement phase transition induced by the presence of boundaries in confining gauge theories. Using first-principle numerical simu…
Edge states and thermodynamics of rotating relativistic fermions under magnetic field
M. N. Chernodub, Shinya Gongyo
We discuss free Dirac fermions rotating uniformly inside a cylindrical cavity in the presence of background magnetic field parallel to the cylinder axis. We show that in addition t…
Nonperturbative Casimir effect and monopoles: compact Abelian gauge theory in two spatial dimensions
M. N. Chernodub, V. A. Goy, A. V. Molochkov
We demonstrate that Casimir forces associated with zero-point fluctuations of quantum vacuum may be substantially affected by the presence of dynamical topological defects. In orde…
Scale Magnetic Effect in Quantum Electrodynamics and the Wigner-Weyl Formalism
M. N. Chernodub, M. A. Zubkov
The Scale Magnetic Effect (SME) is the generation of electric current due to conformal anomaly in external magnetic field in curved spacetime. The effect appears in a vacuum with e…
Effects of rotation and boundaries on chiral symmetry breaking of relativistic fermions
M. N. Chernodub, Shinya Gongyo
In order to avoid unphysical causality-violating effects any rigidly rotating system must be bounded in directions transverse to the axis of rotation. We demonstrate that this requ…
