Our objective in this thesis is to compute the pair production rates for both bosons and fermions under the influence of non-abelian gauge fields on the manifolds $\mathbb{R}^{3,1} \equiv \mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^{1,1}$. We will compare the pair production rates of the spherical cases with the flat ones, and also compare the non-abelian cases with the abelian ones to see effects of both curvature and non-abelian field strength on the pair production. We first review the pair production process, i.e. the so-called Schwinger effect using the path integral formalism for bosonic spin-$0$ i.e. scalar fields and for fermions, spin-$1/2$ i.e. spinor fields, and also subsequently review the recent results obtained in the literature on $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ with abelian orthogonal uniform electric and magnetic fields. We then move on to generalize these results by the inclusion of a uniform non-abelian magnetic field due to an external $SU(2)$ gauge field. In doing so, we find the opportunity to compare the pair production rates on $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$ and $S^2 \times \mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ with non-abelian field switched on, and also compare its influence to previously obtained results without the non-abelian field. Novel effects of the presence of the uniform non-abelian magnetic field together with the effects of constant positive curvature of the $S^2$-submanifold are emphasized.

Effect of water-filling method on the PAPR for OFDM and MIMO systems
Vural, Mehmet; Akta, Tugcan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2007-06-13)
In this paper, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated. The variations in the nature of the problem along with the utilization of water-filling technique are observed and the corresponding cumulative distribution function for PAPR is determined. In addition to OFDM analysis, another analysis is carried out for the comparison of water-filling technique and an equal power distribution algorithm in case of a multiple input multiple ou...
Effects of fermion masses and twisting on non-integrable phases on compact extra dimensions
Boz, M; Pak, Namık Kemal (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-01)
The effective potential for the Wilson loop in the SU(2) gauge theory with N-f massive fundamental and N-a massive adjoint fermions on S-1 X M-4 is computed at the one-loop level, assuming periodic boundary conditions for the gauge field and general boundary conditions for fermions. It is shown that there are critical values for the bare mass, and the boundary condition parameter for the adjoint fermions, beyond which the symmetry pattern changes. However, neither bare mass, nor the boundary condition param...
Oscillation of even order nonlinear delay dynamic equations on time scales
Erbe, Lynn; Mert, Raziye; Peterson, Allan; Zafer, Ağacık (Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences, 2013-03-01)
One of the important methods for studying the oscillation of higher order differential equations is to make a comparison with second order differential equations. The method involves using Taylor's Formula. In this paper we show how such a method can be used for a class of even order delay dynamic equations on time scales via comparison with second order dynamic inequalities. In particular, it is shown that nonexistence of an eventually positive solution of a certain second order delay dynamic inequality is...
Dynamics of numerical methods for cosymmetric ordinary differential equations
Govorukhin, VN; Tsybulin, VG; Karasözen, Bülent (2001-09-01)
The dynamics of numerical approximation of cosymmetric ordinary differential equations with a continuous family of equilibria is investigated. Nonconservative and Hamiltonian model systems in two dimensions are considered and these systems are integrated with several first-order Runge-Kutta methods. The preservation of symmetry and cosymmetry, the stability of equilibrium points, spurious solutions and transition to chaos are investigated by presenting analytical and numerical results. The overall performan...
On Lyapunov inequality in stability theory for Hill's equation on time scales
Atici, FM; Guseinov, GS; Kaymakcalan, B (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-01-01)
In this paper we obtain sufficient conditions for instability and stability to hold for second order linear Delta -differential equations on time scales with periodic coefficients.
