Abstract
The dispersion relations of vector, scalar, and pseudo-scalar bosons of a dielectric medium are determined taking into account their resonant interaction with elementary vacuum particles, i.e., vector photons, scalar photons, and axions. It is shown that hybrid quasiparticles, i.e., polaritons, hidnons, and axinons, are formed in dielectric media in the region of small wave vectors. The dispersion relations of hybrid quasiparticles near the Brillouin zone center are determined. The appearance of hybrid quasiparticles in the spectra of inelastic light scattering by molecules and crystals is predicted. The obtained dispersion relations of hybrid quasiparticles make it possible to determine the conditions for observing parametric light scattering processes accompanied by generation of hybrid quasiparticles and various boson types in vacuum.
