Casimir interaction between cylinders
Francisco D. Mazzitelli
We compute the Casimir interaction energy between two perfectly conducting, concentric cylinders, using the mode-by-mode summation technique. Then we compare it with the approximat…
Classical Behaviour After a Phase Transition: I. Classical Order Parameters
F. C. Lombardo, R. J. Rivers, F. D. Mazzitelli
We analyze the onset of classical field configurations after a phase transition. Firstly, we motivate the problem by means of a toy model in quantum mechanics. Subsequently, we con…
Classical Behaviour After a Phase Transition: II. The Formation of Classical Defects
R. J. Rivers, F. C. Lombardo, F. D. Mazzitelli
Classical defects (monopoles, vortices, etc.) are a characteristic consequence of many phase transitions of quantum fields. Most likely these include transitions in the early unive…
Gauge-fixing Independence of Test Fields in Yang-Mills Theories
Sergio M. Iguri, Francisco D. Mazzitelli
We derive a generalized Nielsen identity for the case of Yang-Mills theories that include some classical fields. We discuss under which circumstances the effective action of the cl…
