Microscopic field theory for structure formation in systems of self-propelled particles with generic torques

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We derive a dynamical field theory for self-propelled particles subjected to generic torques and forces by explicitly coarse-graining their microscopic dynamics, described by a many-body Fokker-Planck equation. The model includes both intrinsic torques ind ...

On the Apparent Non-Uniqueness of the Electromagnetic Field Components of Return Strokes Revisited

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Recent research work shows that there are four procedures that can be used to calculate the electromagnetic fields from a current source. These different procedures, even though producing the same total field, give rise to field components that differ from ...

Generation of an electromagnetic field nonminimally coupled to gravity during Higgs inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

In the framework of Higgs inflation, we consider the electromagnetic field nonminimally coupled to gravity via the parity-preserving proportional to RF2 and parity-violating proportional to RF (F) over tilde terms. Using the perturbation theory to the lead ...
