We show how methods of number theory can be used to study anomalies in gauge quantum field theories in spacetime dimension two. To wit, the anomaly cancellation conditions for the abelian part of the local anomaly admit solutions if and…
Weyl Anomaly in the dilaton-scalar system in 2 dimensional gravity is examined. We take the heat-kernel regularization for the ultraviolet divergences. Generally the Weyl anomaly is determined by the 2nd order differential (elliptic)…
We consider a two-particle quantum systems in a d-dimensional Euclidean space with interaction and in presence of a random external potential (a continuous two-particle Anderson model). We establish Wegner-type estimates (inequalities) for…
Using the \texttt{WeylModules} \textsf{GAP} Package, we compute structural information about certain Weyl modules for type $G_2$ in characteristic $2$. This gives counterexamples to two conjectures stated by S.~Donkin in 1990. It also…
Strong-weak duality invariance can only be defined for particular sectors of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. Nevertheless, for full non-Abelian non-supersymmetric theories, dual theories with inverted couplings, have been found. We show…
The true nature of gravity is a remarkable open problem in Gravitation. Theoretical and observational motivations open the avenue of alternative theories of gravity. One possibility resorts to nonminimal couplings and non-metricity…
We show that the Implicit Regularization Technique is useful to display quantum symmetry breaking in a complete regularization independent fashion. Arbitrary parameters are expressed by finite differences between integrals of the same…
Weyl semimetals are materials where electrons behave effectively as a kind of massless relativistic particles known asWeyl fermions. These particles occur in two flavours, or chiralities, and are subject to quantum anomalies, the breaking…
Starting from Maxwell-Weyl algebra we found the transformation rules for generalized space-time coordinates and the differential realization of corresponding generators. By treating local gauge invariance of Maxwell-Weyl group, we presented…
Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyl- and conformal invariance on the classical level. The global Weyl-group is gauged. Then the class of actions is…
Given a grading on a nonassociative algebra by an abelian group, we have two subgroups of automorphisms attached to it: the automorphisms that stabilize each homogeneous component (as a subspace) and the automorphisms that permute the…

We identify vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of a class of Argyres-Douglas (AD) matters with two types of non-abelian flavor symmetries. They are the $W$ algebra defined using nilpotent orbit with partition $[q^m,1^s]$. Gauging above AD…
For a classical superconformal gauge theory in a conformal supergravity background, its chiral R-symmetry anomaly, Weyl anomaly and super-Weyl anomaly constitute a supermultiplet. We review how these anomalies arise from the…
Neural network field theory (NN-FT) formulates field theory in terms of a network architecture and a density on its parameters. We derive Schwinger--Dyson equations and Ward identities in NN-FT and utilize them to study anomalies. The…
In a paper by the authors, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were introduced, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and $F[D]$ is…
A gauged $SU_q(2)$ theory is characterized by two dual algebras, the first lying close to the Lie algebra of SU(2) while the second introduces new degrees of freedom that may be associated with non-locality or solitonic structure. The first…

We develop a proposal by Freed to see anomalous field theories as relative field theories, namely field theories taking value in a field theory in one dimension higher, the anomaly field theory. We show that when the anomaly field theory is…
A Fermi surface threaded by a Berry phase can be described by the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term. After gauging, it produces a five-dimensional Chern-Simons term in the action. We show how this Chern-Simons term captures the essence of the…
