High-derivatives and massive electromagnetic models in the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi spacetime

The Maxwell electromagnetic theory embedded in an inhomogeneous Lema\^ıtre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) spacetime background was described a few years back in the literature. However, terms concerning the mass or high-derivatives were no explored. In this work we studied the inhomogeneous spacetime effects on high-derivatives and massive electromagnetic models. We used the LTB metric and calculated the physical quantities of interest, namely the scale factor, density of the electromagnetic field and Hubble constant, for the Proca and higher-derivative Podolsky models. We found a new singularity in both models, and that the magnetic field must be zero in the Proca model.

Faddeev-Jackiw approach of the noncommutative spacetime Podolsky electromagnetic theory

The interest in higher derivatives field theories has its origin mainly in their influence concerning the renormalization properties of physical models and to remove ultraviolet divergences. The noncommutative Podolsky theory is a constrained system that cannot by directly quantized by the canonical way. In this work we have used the Faddeev-Jackiw method in order to obtain the Dirac brackets of the NC Podolsky theory.

Gauge-invariant extensions of the Proca model in a noncommutative space-time

The gauge invariance analysis of theories described in noncommutative (NC) space-times can lead us to interesting results since noncommutativity is one of the possible paths to investigate quantum effects in classical theories such as general relativity, for example. This theoretical possibility has motivated us to analyze the gauge invariance of the NC version of the Proca model, which is a second-class system, in Dirac's classification, since its classical formulation (commutative space-time) has its gauge invariance broken thanks to the mass term. To obtain such gauge invariant model, we have used the gauge unfixing method to construct a first-class NC version of the Proca model. We have also questioned if the gauge symmetries of NC theories, are affected necessarily or not by the NC parameter. In this way, we have calculated its respective symmetries in a standard way via Poisson brackets.

Duality and gauge invariance of noncommutative spacetime Podolsky electromagnetic theory

The interest in higher derivatives field theories has its origin mainly in their influence concerning the renormalization properties of physical models and to remove ultraviolet divergences. In this letter we have introduced the noncommutative (NC) version of the Podolsky theory and we investigated the effect of the noncommutativity over its original gauge invariance property. We have demonstrated precisely that the noncommutativity spoiled the gauge invariance of the original action. After that we have used the Noether dualization technique to obtain a dual and gauge invariant action. More than to obtain the NC Podolsky theory, we have another motivation in this work, which is to show that, although the introduction of noncommutativity spoils the gauge invariance, it is possible to recover this property using a standard dualization method which did not need any modification due to any NC effect in the original theory, by the way
