Comment on "On the Electric Charge Quantization from the Aharonov-Bohm Potential"
R. MacKenzie, H. Paquette, J. Pinel +1
In the paper quant-ph/0503212, Barone and Halayel-Neto (BH) claim that charge quantization in quantum mechanics can be proven without the need for the existence of magnetic monopol…
Path Integral Methods and Applications
Richard MacKenzie
These lectures are intended as an introduction to the technique of path integrals and their applications in physics. The audience is mainly first-year graduate students, and it is…
Solitons in SO(5) Superconductivity
R. MacKenzie, J. M. Cline
A model unifying superconductivity and antiferromagnetism using an underlying approximate SO(5) symmetry has injected energy into the field of high-temperature superconductivity. T…
Planar Superconductivity via Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism
R. MacKenzie, P. K. Panigrahi, S. Sakhi
The phase structure of a - dimensional model of relativistic fermions with a four fermi interaction is analyzed in the strong coupling regime using the large perturbati…
