Induced parity-odd effective action for a Dirac field on $S^2 \times S^1$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-06-07 v1

Abstract

We evaluate the parity-odd part of the effective action due to massive Dirac fermions on a S2×S1S^2 \times S^1 manifold, minimally coupled to an external Abelian gauge field. We do that for a special class of gauge-field configurations, which is specially suitable to the study of the behaviour of the fermionic determinant under large gauge field configurations, which are allowed by the space-time geometry.
