Effective field theory for quantum liquid in dwarf stars
- Physics
- 2010
An effective field theory approach is used to describe quantum matter at greater-than-atomic but less-than-nuclear densities which are encountered in white dwarf stars. We focus on the density and…

Phase transitions of charged scalars at finite temperature and chemical potential
- Physics
- 2010
We calculate the grand canonical partition function at the one-loop level for scalar quantum electrodynamics at finite temperature and chemical potential. A classical background charge density with a…
Quantum liquid signatures in dwarf stars
- Physics
- 2009
We develop further the proposal of arXiv:0806.3692 that a new state of matter — charged condensate of spin-0 nuclei — may exist in helium-core dwarf stars. The charged condensate and its fluctuations…

Vortex Structure in Charged Condensate
- Physics

We study magnetic fields in the charged condensate that we have previously argued should be present in helium-core white dwarf stars. We show that below a certain critical value the magnetic field is…
Screening effects in plasma with charged Bose condensate
- Physics
- 2009
The screening of a Coulomb field of test charge in plasma with a Bose condensate of an electrically charged scalar field is considered. It is found that the screened potential contains several…
Q -balls of clusterized baryonic matter
- Physics
- 2017
Properties of baryonic matter made of nucleons and α-particles are studied within a relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The Lagrangian describing the relativistic field ϕ of α-particles is allowed…

Bosonic chemical potentials for a variety of relativistic field theories are introduced via the methods of functional integrals with the aim of studying the relationship between Bose-Einstein…
Gauged Q balls.
- PhysicsPhysical review. D, Particles and fields

Classical nontopological soliton configurations are considered within the theory of a complex scalar field with a gauged U(1) symmetry. Their existence and stability against dispersion are…
Theory of the Work Function. II. The Surface Double Layer

An expression for the work function of a monovalent metal, previously obtained by E. Wigner and the author, included a term which represents the energy required to move an electron through an…
Large gauged Q balls
- Physics
- 2001
We study Q balls associated with local $U(1)$ symmetries. Such Q balls are expected to become unstable for large values of their charge because of the repulsion mediated by the gauge force. We…
High-density and high-temperature symmetry behavior in gauge theories
- Physics
- 1976
It is shown that in most of the gauge theories with neutral currents an increase of fermion density leads to an increase of symmetry breaking. The symmetry behavior at a simultaneous increase of…

Particlelike Solutions to Nonlinear Complex Scalar Field Theories with Positive‐Definite Energy Densities
- Physics
