Simplified Vacuum Energy Expressions for Radial Backgrounds and Domain Walls
Gerald Dunne, Klaus Kirsten
We extend our previous results of simplified expressions for functional determinants for radial Schrödinger operators to the computation of vacuum energy, or mass corrections, for…
New Strong-Field QED Effects at ELI: Nonperturbative Vacuum Pair Production
Gerald V. Dunne
Since the work of Sauter, and Heisenberg, Euler and Köckel, it has been understood that vacuum polarization effects in quantum electrodynamics (QED) predict remarkable new phenomen…
Abelian Zero Modes in Odd Dimensions
Gerald V. Dunne, Hyunsoo Min
We show that the Loss-Yau zero modes of the 3d abelian Dirac operator may be interpreted in a simple manner in terms of a stereographic projection from a 4d Dirac operator with a c…
Dynamically assisted Schwinger mechanism
Ralf Schützhold, Holger Gies, Gerald Dunne
We study electron-positron pair creation {from} the Dirac vacuum induced by a strong and slowly varying electric field (Schwinger effect) which is superimposed by a weak and rapidl…
A Twisted Kink Crystal in the Chiral Gross-Neveu model
Gokce Basar, Gerald V. Dunne
We present the detailed properties of a self-consistent crystalline chiral condensate in the massless chiral Gross-Neveu model. We show that a suitable ansatz for the Gorkov resolv…
Self-consistent crystalline condensate in chiral Gross-Neveu and Bogoliubov-de Gennes systems
Gokce Basar, Gerald V. Dunne
We derive a new exact self-consistent crystalline condensate in the 1+1 dimensional chiral Gross-Neveu model. This also yields a new exact crystalline solution for the one dimensio…
