In this work we study the Dirac equation with vector and scalar potentials in the spacetime
generated by a cosmic string. Using an approximation for the centrifugal term, a solution for …

We investigate the combined effects of spatial curvature and topology on the properties of
the vacuum state for a charged scalar field localized on rotationally symmetric 2D curved …

Within the trace-logarithm formalism for the effective action we investigate the vacuum
interaction of cosmic strings and the influence of string's width on this effect. For the …

In this paper we investigate the bosonic current induced by a brane and a magnetic flux
running along the idealized cosmic string in a (D+ 1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) …

In this paper, we investigate the vacuum expectation values of the field squared and the
energy–momentum tensor associated to a charged massive scalar quantum field in a (1+ D) …

In this paper, we analyze the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the field squared and the
energy–momentum tensor associated with a charged and massive scalar quantum field in a …

The paper provides an extended overview of recent results obtained by the authors in the
process of studying the vacuum interaction of topological cosmic strings at short distances …

Abstract The Noble Prize in physics 2016 motivates one to study different aspects of
topological properties and topological defects as their related objects. Considering the …

We consider a quasi-periodically identified conical spacetime, like the one of a cosmic string
or disclination, to investigate nonzero averaged quantum vacuum fluctuations effects on the …

In this paper, we analyze the bosonic current densities induced by a magnetic flux running
along the core of an idealized cosmic string in a high-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime …
