We study fermions derivatively coupled to axion-like or pseudoscalar fields, and show that the axial vector current of the fermions is not conserved in the limit where the fermion is massless. This apparent violation of the classical chiral…
Anomalous quantization of the Electromagnetic field allows non-trivial (anti) self-dual configurations to exist in four-dimensional Euclidian space-time. These instanton-like objects are described as massless spinor particles.
We study an asymptotically free theory of $N$ relativistic Dirac fermions and a real scalar field coupled by Yukawa and scalar self-interactions in three dimensions using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours,…
In the present work, we study the noncommutative version of a quantum cosmology model. The model has a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry, the matter content is a radiative perfect fluid and the spatial sections have zero constant…
A nonminimally coupled quintessence dark energy in teleparallel model of gravity is considered. It is clarified how a matter dominated universe with initial negligible dark energy density can evolve to a late time de Sitter space-time via…
We study a few two-dimensional models with massive and massless fermions in the hamiltonian framework and in both conventional and light-front forms of field theory. The new ingredient is a modification of the canonical procedure by taking…
Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…
We study the Luttinger-Schwinger model, i.e. the (1+1) dimensional model of massless Dirac fermions with a non-local 4-point interaction coupled to a U(1)-gauge field. The complete solution of the model is found using the boson-fermion…
We compute the non-adiabatic production of heavy fermion during inflation due to its coupling with inflaton. The coupling, partly inspired by axion monodromy, comes from the modulation of the fermion mass by the inflaton field. Even though…
The (discrete) Gross-Neveu model is studied in a lattice realization with an N-component Majorana Wilson fermion field. It has an internal O(N) symmetry in addition to the euclidean lattice symmetries. The discrete chiral symmetry for…
We introduce two anomaly free versions of Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) models, based on either $G_{\rm FN}=U(1)^3$ or $G_{\rm FN}=U(1)$ horizontal symmetries, that generate the SM quark and lepton flavor structures. The structure of these…
In the Einstein-Cartan theory of torsion-free gravity coupling to massless fermions, the four-fermion interaction is induced and its strength is a function of the gravitational and gauge couplings, as well as the Immirzi parameter. We study…
A simple and surprisingly realistic model of the origin of the universe can be developed using the Friedmann equation from general relativity, elementary quantum mechanics, and the experimental values of h, c, G and the proton mass. The…
We consider 1+1 dimensional SU(N) gauge theory coupled to a multiplet of massive Dirac fermions transforming in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. The only global symmetry of this theory is a U(1) associated with the conserved…
It is shown that nonlinear terms in equations of gravitons on the background of curved space-time of the expanding Universe can solve the problem of the negative square of the effective mass formally arising in linear approximation for…
We study a scenario based upon a mass-less $\lambda \phi^4$ theory coupled to massive neutrino matter with $Z_2$ symmetry using a conformal coupling, $A(\phi)=1-\alpha\phi^2/2M_{pl}^2;~\alpha=M^2_{pl}/M^2$ where $M$ is a cut off mass. The…
A toy model giving rise to long lived super heavy particles and an small vacuum density energy, of the order of the one measured in the present universe, is constructed. This model consists in hidden sector invariant under an $SU(2)_L$…
A mechanism for suppressing the cosmological constant is described, using a superconducting analogy in which fermions coupled to gravitons are in an unstable false vauum. The coupling of the fermions to gravitons and a screened attractive…
We find a large class of quantum gauge models with massless fermions where the coupling to the gauge fields is not chirally symmetric and which nevertheless do not suffer from gauge anomalies. To be specific we study two dimensional Abelian…
We present an intuitive picture of the chiral symmetry breaking in the NJL and Thirring models. For the current current interaction model with the massless fermion, the vacuum is realized with the chiral symmetry broken phase, and the…
