A Possible Anisotropy in Blackbody Radiation Viewed through Non-uniform Gaseous Matter Typeset Using Revt E X 1

چکیده
A non-local gauge symmetry of a complex scalar field, which can be trivially extended to spinor fields, was demonstrated in a recent paper (Mod. Phys. Lett. A13, 1265 (1998) ; hep-th/9902020). The corresponding covariant Lagrangian density yielded a new, non-local Quantum Electrodynamics. In this Letter we show that as a consequence of this new QED, a blackbody radiation viewed through gaseous matter appears to show a slight deviation from the Planck formula, and propose an experimental test to check this effect. We also show that a non-uniformity in this gaseous matter distribution leads to an (apparent) spatial anisotropy of the blackbody radiation. Typeset using REVTEX

The Two-point Correlation Function of Three-dimensional O(n ) Models: Critical Limit and Anisotropy. Typeset Using Revt E X 1
In three-dimensional O(N) models, we investigate the low-momentum be-havior of the two-point Green’s function G(x) in the critical region of thesymmetric phase. We consider physical systems whose criticality is charac-terized by a rotational-invariant fixed point. Several approaches are exploited,such as strong-coupling expansion of lattice non-linear O(N) σ models, 1/N -exp...
متن کاملMatter/microwave Correlations in an Open Universe Typeset Using Revt E X
In an intriguing recent paper, Crittenden and Turok proposed cross-correlating the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with tracers of the matter density to probe the existence of a cosmological constant. Here I emphasize that a similar cross-correlation arises in an open Universe and, depending on the redshift distribution of the tracer population and the matter density, may be comparable to or ...
متن کاملTransport Properties of Ferromagnet-d-wave Superconductor Ferromagnet Double Junctions Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We investigate transport properties of a trilayer made of a d-wave supercon-ductor connected to two ferromagnetic electrodes. Using Keldysh formalism we show that crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling exist also with d-wave superconductors. Their properties are controlled by the existence of zero energy states due to the anisotropy of the d-wave pair potential.
متن کاملRandomly Dilute Spin Models with Cubic Symmetry. Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We study the combined effect of cubic anisotropy and quenched uncorrelated impurities on multicomponent spin models. For this purpose, we consider the field-theoretical approach based on the Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson φ4 Hamiltonian with cubic-symmetric quartic interactions and quenched randomness coupled to the local energy density. We compute the renormalization-group functions to six loops in th...
متن کاملValence Band Spectroscopy in V-grooved Quantum Wires Typeset Using Revt E X
We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the anisotropy in the optical absorption of V-shaped quantum wires. By means of realistic band structure calculations for these structures, we show that detailed information on the heavy-and light-hole states can be singled out from the anisotropy spectra independently of the electron confinement, thus allowing accurate valence band sp...
