External sources in Lee-Wick theories

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: We investigate some peculiar aspects of the so-called Lee-Wick electrodynamics focusing on physical effects produced by the presence of sources for the vector field. The interactions between stationary charge distributions along parallel branes with arbitrary dimensions is investigated and the energy of a point charge is discussed. Some physical phenomena produced in the vicinity of a Dirac string are also investigated. We consider the Lee-Wick theory for the scalar field, where some interesting effects can emerge with no counterpart for the vector gauge field theory.
