Extra Dimensions and the strong CP problem.

In higher dimensional theories, such as brane world models with quasilocalized non-Abelian gauge fields, the vacuum structure turns out to be trivial. Since the gauge theory behaves at large distances as a 4 + delta dimensional, thus the topology of the infinity is that of S(3+delta) rather than S(3). This topology does not support finite action instantonic configurations and thus the CP violating theta term vanishes on the brane world volume. As well there are no contributions to the straight theta term from the higher dimensional solitonic configurations. In this way, the strong CP problem is absent in the models with quasilocalized gluons.

Hydrogen atom spectrum and the lamb shift in noncommutative QED.

We have calculated the energy levels of the hydrogen atom as well as the Lamb shift within the noncommutative quantum electrodynamics theory. The results show deviations from the usual QED both on the classical and the quantum levels. On both levels, the deviations depend on the parameter of space/space noncommutativity.

Quantum magnetic collapse

We study the thermodynamics of degenerate electron and charged vector boson gases in very intense magnetic fields. In degenerate conditions of the electron gas, the pressure transverse to the magnetic field B may vanish, leading to a transverse collapse. For W bosons an instability arises because the magnetization diverges at the critical field B(c) = M(2)(W)/e. If the magnetic field is self-consistently maintained, the maximum value it can take is of the order of 2B(c)/3, but in any case the system becomes unstable and collapses.
