Within the framework of the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism, we study the manifestations of vacuum electromagnetic nonlinearities in D=3 models. For this we consider both generalized Born-Infeld and Pagels-Tomboulis-like electrodynamics, as well as Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics. We explicitly show that generalized Born-Infeld and Pagels-Tomboulis-like electrodynamics are equivalent, where the static potential profile contains a long-range (1/r2-type) correction to the Coulomb potential. Interestingly enough, for Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics the interaction energy contains a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static charges.

We study the lowest-order modifications of the static potential for Born–Infeld electrodynamics and for the θ-expanded version of the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, within the framework of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. The calculation shows a long-range correction (1/r5-type) to the Coulomb potential in Born–Infeld electrodynamics. However, the Coulomb nature of the potential (to order e2) is preserved in noncommutative electrodynamics.

AbstractWe study physical aspects for a new nonlinear electrodynamics (inverse electrodynamics). It is shown that this new electrodynamics displays the vacuum birefringence phenomenon in the presence of external magnetic field, hence we compute the bending of light. Afterwards we compute the lowest-order modification to the interaction energy within the framework of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. Our calculations show that the interaction energy contains a long-range ($${1 \big / {{r^5}}}$$ 1 / r 5 -type) correction to the Coulomb potential.

We calculate the lowest-order corrections to the static potential for both the generalized Born–Infeld electrodynamics and an Euler–Heisenberg-like model, in the presence of a constant external magnetic field. Our analysis is carried out within the framework of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. The calculation reveals a long-range correction ([Formula: see text]-type) to the Coulomb potential for the generalized Born–Infeld electrodynamics. Interestingly enough, in the Euler–Heisenberg-like model, the static potential remains Coulombian. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the quantized truncated action and the truncated quantized action do not commute at all.

We consider the static quantum potential for a gauge theory which includes a light massive vector field interacting with the familiar U (1) QED photon via a Chern–Simons-like coupling, by using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism. An exactly screening phase is then obtained, which displays a marked departure of a qualitative nature from massive axionic electrodynamics. The above static potential profile is similar to that encountered in axionic electrodynamics consisting of a massless axion-like field, as well as to that encountered in the coupling between the familiar U (1) QED photon and a second massive gauge field living in the so-called U (1)h hidden-sector, inside a superconducting box.

By using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism, we study both massive Euler-Heisenberg-like and Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics in the approximation of the strong-field limit. It is shown that massive Euler-Heisenberg-type electrodynamics displays the vacuum birefringence phenomenon. Subsequently, we calculate the lowest-order modifications to the interaction energy for both classes of electrodynamics. As a result, for the case of massive Euler-Heisenbeg-like electrodynamics (Wichmann-Kroll), unexpected features are found. We obtain a new long-range (1/r3-type) correction, apart from a long-range(1/r5-type) correction to the Coulomb potential. Furthermore, Euler-Heisenberg-like electrodynamics in the approximation of the strong-field limit (to the leading logarithmic order) displays a long-range (1/r5-type) correction to the Coulomb potential. Besides, for their noncommutative versions, the interaction energy is ultraviolet finite.

Adopting the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, we study the coupling of torsion fields with photons in the presence of an external background electromagnetic. We explicitly show that, in the case of a constant electric field strength expectation value, the static potential remains Coulombic, while in the case of a constant magnetic field strength expectation value a confining potential is obtained. This result displays a marked qualitative departure from the usual coupling of axionlike particles with photons in the presence of an external magnetic field.

For a theory with a pseudo-scalar coupling [Formula: see text] and in the case that there is a constant electric or magnetic strength expectation value, we compute the interaction potential within the structure of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. While in the case of a constant electric field strength expectation value the static potential remains Coulombic, in the case of a constant magnetic field strength the potential energy is the sum of a Yukawa and a linear potentials, leading to the confinement of static charges.

We study the connection or equivalence between two well-known extensions of the Standard Model, that is, for the coupling between the familiar massless electromagnetism U (1) QED and a hidden-sector U (1)h, and axionic electrodynamics. Our discussion is carried out using the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, which is an alternative to the Wilson loop approach. When we compute in this way the static quantum potential for the coupling between the familiar massless electromagnetism U (1) QED and a hidden-sector U (1)h, the result of this calculation is a Yukawa correction to the usual static Coulomb potential. Previously,14, we have shown that axionic electrodynamics has a different structure which is reflected in a confining piece. Therefore, both extensions of the Standard Model are not equivalent. Interestingly, when the above calculation is done inside a superconducting box, the Coulombic piece disappears leading to a screening phase.

For a Podolsky-axionic electrodynamics, we compute the interaction potential within the structure of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. The result is equivalent to that of axionic electrodynamics from a new noncommutative approach, up to first-order in θ.

We address the effect of an anomalous triple gauge boson couplings on a physical observable for the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, when the S U 2 L ⊗ U 1 Y symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism to U 1 e m . Our calculation is done within the framework of the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent variable formalism is an alternative to the Wilson loop approach. Our result shows that the interaction energy is the sum of a Yukawa and a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static probe charges. The point we wish to emphasize, however, is that the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings ( Z γ γ ) contributes to the confinement for distances on the intranuclear scale.
