Electric dipole moment induced by a QCD instanton in an external magnetic field
Gokce Basar, Gerald V. Dunne, Dmitri E. Kharzeev
In the chiral magnetic effect, there is a competition between a strong magnetic field, which tends to project positively charged particles to have spin aligned along the magnetic f…
Complex Worldline Instantons and Quantum Interference in Vacuum Pair Production
Cesim K. Dumlu, Gerald V. Dunne
We describe in detail a physical situation in which instantons are necessarily complex, not just Wick rotations of classical solutions to Euclidean spacetime. These complex instant…
Ramsey Fringes and Time-domain Multiple-Slit Interference from Vacuum
Eric Akkermans, Gerald V. Dunne
Sequences of alternating-sign time-dependent electric field pulses lead to coherent interference effects in Schwinger vacuum pair production, producing a Ramsey interferometer, an…
Baryon-baryon scattering in the Gross-Neveu model: the large N solution
Gerald V. Dunne, Christian Fitzner, Michael Thies
The scattering of two Dashen-Hasslacher-Neveu (DHN) baryons in the large N Gross-Neveu model is solved exactly using the relativistic, time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach. Unlike…
The Derivative Expansion at Small Mass for the Spinor Effective Action
Gerald V. Dunne, Adolfo Huet, Jin Hur +1
We study the small mass limit of the one-loop spinor effective action, comparing the derivative expansion approximation with exact numerical results that are obtained from an exten…
Interference Effects in Schwinger Vacuum Pair Production for Time-Dependent Laser Pulses
Cesim K. Dumlu, Gerald V. Dunne
We present simple new approximate formulas, for both scalar and spinor QED, for the number of particles produced from vacuum by a time dependent electric field, incorporating the i…
