We investigate the index of the Neuberger's Dirac operator in abelian gauge theories on finite lattices by numerically analyzing the spectrum of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator for a continuous family of gauge fields connecting…
The scale invariance of the coupling constant in the induced gauge theory due to its compositeness condition is demonstrated in the renormalization group flow of the finite-cutoff gauge theory at the leading order in 1/N, where N is the…
In this work, we generalize the non-geometrical construction of gauge theories, due to S. Deser, to a noncommutative setting. We show that in a free theory, along with the usual local N\"{o}ther current, there is another conserved current,…
In this talk we discuss enveloping algebra based noncommutative gauge field theory, constructed at the first order in noncommutative parameter theta, as an effective, anomaly free theory, with one-loop renormalizable gauge sector. Limits on…
We propose to interpret Levinson's theorem as an index theorem. This exhibits its topological nature. It furthermore leads to a more coherent explanation of the corrections due to resonances at thresholds.
We provide an alternative interpretation for the topological terms in physics by investigating the low-energy gauge interacting system. The asymptotic behavior of the gauge field at infinity indicates that it traces out a closed loop in the…
Morse index theory provides an elegant and useful tool for describing several aspects of a Lagrangian system in terms of its variational properties. In the classical framework it provides an equality between the spectral properties of a…
Starting from a self-dual formulation of gravity, we obtain a noncommutative theory of pure Einstein theory in four dimensions. In order to do that, we use Seiberg-Witten map. It is shown that the noncommutative torsion constraint is solved…
In geometric analysis, an index theorem relates the difference of the numbers of solutions of two differential equations to the topological structure of the manifold or bundle concerned, sometimes using the heat kernels of two higher-order…
We provide an index-theoretic proof of the bulk-boundary correspondence for two- and three-dimensional second-order topological insulators that preserve inversion symmetry, which are modeled as rectangles and rectangular prism-shaped…
We argue that some features of the standard model, in particular the fermion assignment and symmetry breaking, can be obtained in matrix model which describes noncommutative gauge theory as well as gravity in an emergent way. The mechanism…
Spectral triples for nonunital algebras model locally compact spaces in noncommutative geometry. In the present text, we prove the local index formula for spectral triples over nonunital algebras, without the assumption of local units in…
Topological insulators are solid state systems of independent electrons for which the Fermi level lies in a mobility gap, but the Fermi projection is nevertheless topologically non-trivial, namely it cannot be deformed into that of a normal…
These are the notes of a lecture given during the summer school "Geometric and Topological Methods for Quantum Field Theory", Villa de Leyva, Colombia, july 11 - 29, 2005. We review basic facts concerning gauge anomalies and discuss the…
A natural extension of the standard model within non-commutative geometry is presented. The geometry determines its Higgs sector. This determination is fuzzy, but precise enough to be incompatible with experiment.
Let $G$ be a connected, real semisimple Lie group. Let $K<G$ be maximal compact, and let $\Gamma < G$ be discrete and such that $\Gamma \backslash G$ has finite volume. If the real rank of $G$ is $1$ and $\Gamma$ is torsion-free, then…
The gauge symmetry is said unfree if the gauge transformation leaves the action functional unchanged provided for the gauge parameters are constrained by the system of partial differential equations. The best known example of this…
A noncommutative gauge theory is associated to every Abelian gauge theory on a Poisson manifold. The semi-classical and full quantum version of the map from the ordinary gauge theory to the noncommutative gauge theory (Seiberg-Witten map)…
We prove a {\Gamma}-equivariant version of the algebraic index theorem, where {\Gamma} is a discrete group of automorphisms of a formal deformation of a symplectic manifold. The particular cases of this result are the algebraic version of…
Connes' gauge theory is defined on noncommutative space-times. It is applied to formulate a noncommutative Glashow-Weinberg-Salam (GWS) model in the leptonic sector. It is shown that the model has two Higgs doublets and the gauge bosons…
