Vacuum Energy and Θ–vacuum
The highly non-trivial structure of the θ–vacuum encodes many of the fundamental properties of gauge theories. In particular, the response of the vacuum to the θ–term perturbation is sensitive to the existence of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, etc. We analyze the dependence of the vacuum energy density on θ around two special values, θ = 0 and θ = π. The existence or not of singular beh...
متن کاملLaser-induced rotation of a levitated sample in vacuum
A method of systematically controlling the rotational state of a sample levitated in a high vacuum using the photon pressure is described. A zirconium sphere was levitated in the high-temperature electrostatic levitator and it was rotated by irradiating it with a narrow beam of a high-power laser on a spot off the center of mass. While the laser beam heated the sample, it also rotated the sampl...
متن کاملRotation Generated in Vacuum by a Magnetic Field ”
In a recent letter [1] the PVLAS collaboration reported the observation of optical rotation induced in vacuum by an external magnetic field. More recently [2] the same group reported also the observation of vaccuum birefringence under similar conditions. In this comment I wish to point out that the reported results are excluded at the 95% confidence level by a previous experiment [3] carried ou...
متن کاملVacuum squeezing in atomic media via self-rotation
When linearly polarized light propagates through a medium in which elliptically polarized light would undergo self-rotation, squeezed vacuum can appear in the orthogonal polarization. A simple relationship between self-rotation and the degree of vacuum squeezing is developed. Taking into account absorption, we find the optimum conditions for squeezing in any medium that can produce self-rotatio...
متن کاملVacuum defects without a vacuum
Topological defects can arise in symmetry breaking models where the scalar field potential V (φ) has no minima and is a monotonically decreasing function of |φ|. The properties of such vacuumless defects are quite different from those of the “usual” strings and monopoles. In some models such defects can serve as seeds for structure formation, or produce an appreciable density of miniblack holes...
