We compute the real and imaginary parts of the electric permittivities and magnetic permeabilities for relativistic electrons from quantum electrodynamics at finite temperature and density. A semiclassical approximation establishes the conditions for neglecting nonlinear terms in the external electromagnetic fields as well as electron-electron interactions. We obtain both the electric and magnetic responses in a unified manner and relate them to longitudinal and transverse collective plasma oscillations. We demonstrate that such collective modes are thresholds for a metamaterial regime of the electron plasma which exhibits simultaneously negative longitudinal permittities and permeabilities. For nonzero temperatures, we obtain electromagnetic responses given by one-dimensional integrals to be numerically calculated, whereas for zero temperature we find analytic expressions for both their real/dispersive and imaginary/absorptive parts.

We propose a self-consistent model which utilizes the polarization vector to theoretically describe the evolution of spin polarization of relativistic electrons in an intense electromagnetic field. The variation of radiative polarization due to instantaneous no photon emission is introduced into our model, which extends the applicability of the polarization vector model derived from the nonlinear Compton scattering under local constant crossed-field approximation to the complex electromagnetic environment in laser plasma interaction. According to this model, we develop a Monte Carlo method to simulate the electron spin under the influence of radiation and precession simultaneously. Our model is consistent with the quantum physical picture that spin can only be described by a probability distribution before measurement, and it contains the entire information on the spin. The correctness of our model is confirmed by the successful reproduction of the Sokolov-Ternov effect and the comparison of the simulation results with other models in the literature. The results show the superiority in accuracy, applicability, and computational efficiency of our model, and we believe that our model is a better choice to deal with the electron spin in particle-in-cell simulation for laser plasma interaction.
The electromagnetic form factor of the pion in the space-like region, and at finite temperature, $F_{pi}(Q^{2},T)$, is obtained from a QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule. The form factor decreases with increasing T, and vanishes at some critical temperature, where the pion radius diverges. This divergence may be interpreted as a signal for quark deconfinement.
We present a framework to compute the responses of hadron masses to the chemical potential in lattice QCD simulations. As a first trial, the screening mass of the pseudoscalar meson and its first and second responses are evaluated. We present results on a $16times 8^2times 4$ lattice with two flavors of staggered quarks below and above $T_c$. The responses to both the isoscalar and isovector chemical potentials are obtained. They show different behavior in the low and the high temperature phases, which may be explained as a consequence of chiral symmetry breaking and restoration, respectively.
The collisionless axisymmetric zonal flow residual calculation for a tokamak plasma is generalized to include electromagnetic perturbations. We formulate and solve the complete initial value zonal flow problem by retaining the fully self-consistent axisymmetric spatial perturbations in the electric and magnetic fields. Simple expressions for the electrostatic, shear and compressional magnetic residual responses are derived that provide a fully electromagnetic test of the zonal flow residual in gyrokinetic codes. Unlike the electrostatic potential, the parallel vector potential and the parallel magnetic field perturbations need not relax to flux functions for all possible initial conditions.
Responses to chemical potential of the pseudoscalar meson screening mass and the chiral condensate in lattice QCD are investigated. On a $16 times 8^2 times 4$ lattice with two flavors of staggered quarks the first and second responses below and above $T_c$ are evaluated. Different behavior in the low and the high temperature phases are observed, which may be explained as a consequence of the chiral symmetry breaking and restoration.
