Effects of -odd terms of dimensions three and five on electromagnetic propagation in continuous matter

PDS Silva, L Lisboa-Santos, MM Ferreira Jr, M Schreck - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In this work we study how CPT-odd Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw (MCFJ) electrodynamics
as well as a dimension-5 extension of it affect the optical activity of continuous media. The …

Planar electrodynamics modified by higher-derivative terms

L Lisboa-Santos, JAAS Reis, M Schreck… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We consider a (2+ 1)-dimensional modified electrodynamics endowed with terms that are
either Lorentz invariant or Lorentz violating and involve an ever-increasing number of …

Mechanism for the origin of the Podolsky mass

CA Bonin, BM Pimentel - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this paper we present an Abelian Higgs model in which the scalar field is nonminimally
coupled with the Maxwell field. This model gives rise to the Bopp-Podolsky theory in the …

[HTML][HTML] BFV quantization and BRST symmetries of the gauge invariant fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator

BP Mandal, VK Pandey, R Thibes - Nuclear Physics B, 2022 - Elsevier
We perform the BFV-BRST quantization of the fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator (PUO)
for the first time. We show that although the PUO is not naturally constrained in the sense of …

Degenerate Higher-Order Maxwell Theories in Flat Space-Time

A Colléaux, D Langlois, K Noui - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.18715, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider, in Minkowski spacetime, higher-order Maxwell Lagrangians with terms
quadratic in the derivatives of the field strength tensor, and study their degrees of freedom …

Debye screening in generalized quantum electrodynamics

CA Bonin, GB de Gracia, AA Nogueira… - International Journal of …, 2020 - World Scientific
In this work we study the Higgs mechanism and the Debye shielding for the Bopp–Podolsky
theory of electrodynamics. We find that not only the massless sector of the Podolsky theory …

Green functions and propagation in the Bopp–Podolsky electrodynamics

M Lazar - Wave Motion, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we investigate the so-called Bopp–Podolsky electrodynamics. The Bopp–
Podolsky electrodynamics is a prototypical gradient field theory with weak nonlocality in …

Generalized Stueckelberg-Higgs Gauge Theory

CA Bonin, GB de Gracia, AA Nogueira… - Brazilian Journal of …, 2022 - Springer
The aim of this work is to discuss and explore some generalized aspects of generation of
photon mass respecting gauge symmetry. We introduce generalized Stueckelberg and …

Bopp–Podolsky scalar electrodynamics propagators and energy-momentum tensor in covariant and light-front coordinates

IG Oliveira, JH Sales, R Thibes - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2020 - Springer
We consider the interaction between a charged scalar boson and the Bopp–Podolsky gauge
fields. The Bopp–Podolsky (BP) electrodynamics possesses both massive and massless …

Semi-transparent boundary in Lee–Wick electrodynamics

EH Rodrigues, FA Barone, FE Barone… - The European Physical …, 2024 - Springer
In this paper, we investigate certain aspects of Lee–Wick electrodynamics near a
semitransparent planar mirror. Specifically, we derive the modified propagator for the Lee …
