We consider 2D Yukawa theory in the strong scalar wave background. We use operator and functional formalisms. In the latter the Schwinger--Keldysh diagrammatic technique is used to calculate retarded, advanced and Keldysh propagators. We…
The free energy of effective spin or "Polyakov line" models with a chemical potential, based on the U(N) group, does not depend on the chemical potential. In a mean field-inspired expansion, we show how the condition of unit determinant,…
The existence of interacting higher-spin theories is tightly constrained by many no-go theorems. In this paper, we construct a chiral, higher-spin generalization of Yang-Mills theory in flat space which avoids these no-go theorems and has…
