Coupling of Nonlocal Potentials to Electromagnetic Fields
Nonlocal Hamiltonians are used widely in first-principles quantum calculations; the nonlocality stems from eliminating undesired degrees of freedom, e.g. core electrons. To date, attempts to couple nonlocal systems to external electromagnetic (EM) fields have been heuristic or limited to weak or long wavelength fields....

A note on wavemap-tensor cosmologies
We examine theories of gravity which include finitely many coupled scalar fields with arbitrary couplings to the curvature (wavemaps). We show that the most general scalar-tensor $\sigma$-model action is conformally equivalent to general relativity with a minimally coupled wavemap with a particular target metric. Infla...

Nonminimal coupling, equivalence principle and exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation
It is shown that the exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for spin-0 particles on spacetimes described by the metrics $ds^2 = V^2 dt^2 - W^2 d {\bf{x}}^2$, where $V=V({\bf{x}})$ and $W=W({\bf{x}})$, only exists if the scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the Ricci scalar field with a coupling constant equal to 1/6....

Modification of the Doppler Effect due to the Helicity-Rotation Coupling
The helicity-rotation coupling and its current empirical basis are examined. The modification of the Doppler effect due to the coupling of photon spin with the rotation of the observer is considered in detail in connection with its applications in the Doppler tracking of spacecraft. Further implications of this couplin...

Dirac spinor fields in the teleparallel gravity: comment on "Metric-affine approach to teleparallel gravity"
We show that the coupling of a Dirac spinor field with the gravitational field in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity is consistent. For an arbitrary SO(3,1) connection there are two possibilities for the coupling of the spinor field with the gravitational field. The problems of consistency raised by Y. N...

Constraints on non-minimally coupled curved space electrodynamics from astrophysical observations
We study interactions of electro-magnetic fields with the curvature tensor of the form $\lambda R_{\mu \nu \alpha \beta}F^{\mu \nu}F^{\alpha \beta}$. Such coupling terms though are invariant under general coordinate transformation and CPT, however violate the Einstein equivalence principle. These couplings do not cause...

Coupled oscillators as models of phantom and scalar field cosmologies
We study a toy model for phantom cosmology recently introduced in the literature and consisting of two oscillators, one of which carries negative kinetic energy. The results are compared with the exact phase space picture obtained for similar dynamical systems describing, respectively, a massive canonical scalar field ...

Asymptotic quasinormal modes of a coupled scalar field in the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilaton spacetime
The analytic forms of the asymptotic quasinormal frequencies of a coupled scalar field in the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilaton spacetime is investigated by using the monodromy technique proposed by Motl and Neitzke. It is found that the asymptotic quasinormal frequencies depend not only on the structure parameters...

Metric-scalar gravity with torsion and the measurability of the non-minimal coupling
The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed by considering the correction to the Newtonian static potential in the semi-classical approach. The coefficient of the "gravitational Darwin term" (GDT) gets redefined by the non-minimal torsion-scalar couplings. Based on a similar analysis of the GDT in the ...

Nonmetricity and torsion induced by dilaton gravity in two dimension
We develop a theory in which there are couplings amongst Dirac spinor, dilaton and non-Riemannian gravity and explore the nature of connection-induced dilaton couplings to gravity and Dirac spinor when the theory is reformulated in terms of the Levi-Civita connection. After presenting some exact solutions without spino...

Scalar and Tensor Couplings in Kaon Decays
In the past few years charged kaon experiments have indicated possible scalar and tensor couplings in semileptonic kaon decays(K --> pi e nu). These couplings, if correct, are not predicted by the Standard Model and may indicate the onset of new physics. We present a summary of the existing data and a new, precision me...

Measurement of Triple-Gauge-Boson Couplings of the W Boson at LEP
We report on measurements of the triple-gauge-boson couplings of the W boson in e+e- collisions with the L3 detector at LEP. W-pair, single-W and single-photon events are analysed in a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 76.7 pb^{-1} collected at centre-of-mass energies between 161 GeV and 183 GeV. CP-co...

Anomalous couplings at LEP2
In its second phase, LEP has allowed to study four fermion processes never observed before. Results are presented on the charged triple gauge boson couplings (TGC) from the W-pair, Single W and Single gamma production. The anomalous quartic gauge couplings (QGC) are constrained using production of WWgamma, nunubargamma...

Measurement of triple gauge boson couplings a an e-gamma collider
If no light Higgs boson exists, the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies (~1TeV). The effects of strong electroweak symmetry breaking (SEWSB) could manifest themselves indirectly as anomalous couplings before they give rise to new physical states like resonances. Here a study of the measur...

Boson Gauge Couplings at LEP
The review of the measurements of the gauge couplings in the boson sector at LEP is presented. The measurements of the charged triple gauge couplings (cTGC) parameters from the four LEP experiments are combined and the results are in good agreement with the Standard Model predictions, proving the non-abelian structure ...

Renormalization group and triviality in noncompact lattice QED with light fermions
In the framework of noncompact lattice QED with light fermions, we derive the functional dependence of the average energy per plaquette on the bare parameters using block-spin Renormalization Group arguments and assuming that the renormalized coupling vanishes. Our numerical results for this quantity in $8^4$ and $10^4...

Fermion Interactions in the Wilson Yukawa Approach for Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories
We consider fermion-gauge couplings in the Wilson-Yukawa approach for lattice chiral gauge theories. At the leading order of a fermionic hopping parameter expansion we find that the fermion-gauge coupling has a chiral and tree-like structure. We argue that this fermion-gauge coupling remains non-zero in the continuum l...

No strong coupling regime in the fermion-Higgs sector of the standard model
We present results for the renormalized quartic self-coupling $\lm_R$ and the renormalized Yukawa coupling $y_R$ in a fermion-Higgs model with two SU(2) doublets, indicating that these couplings are not very strong.

A Precise Determination of the Running Coupling in the SU(3) Yang-Mills Theory
A non-perturbative finite-size scaling technique is used to study the evolution of the running coupling (in a certain adapted scheme) in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. At low energies contact is made with the fundamental dynamical scales, such as the string tension K, while at larger energies the coupling is shown to evo...

Do Wilson Fermions Induce an Adjoint Gauge Coupling?
Expansions of the Wilson determinant in lattice QCD with quarks produce gauge action terms which shift the coupling constant of the fundamental representation plaquette action and induce an adjoint representation plaquette action. We study the magnitude of these induced couplings with two flavors of Wilson fermions. We...

The SU(3) running coupling from lattice gluons
We provide numerical results for the running coupling in $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory as determined from an analysis of lattice two and three-point gluon correlation functions. The coupling is evaluated directly, from first principles, by defining suitable renormalisation constants from the lattice triple gluon vertex and...

Numerical Simulations of an SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R-symmetric Higgs-Yukawa Model on the QUADRICS Q16
We report on our work on the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R symmetric Higgs Yukawa Model with mirror fermion action. Our model describes a fermion Higgs system in the limit of vanishing gauge coupling. Setting the bare Yukawa coupling of the mirror fermions G_\chi to zero, we want to determine the triviality bounds on the renormali...
