We describe a class of spinor-curvature identities which exist for Riemannian or Riemann-Cartan geometries. Each identity relates an expression quadratic in the covariant derivative of a spinor field with an expression linear in the…

In the framework of perturbative quantum field theory (QFT) we propose a new, universal (re)normalization condition (called 'master Ward identity') which expresses the symmetries of the underlying classical theory. It implies for example…

The topological non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory with a boundary is shown to require a scalar field companion in order to preserve overall gauge-invariance both in the 3 dimensional manifold, as well as on its boundary. This scalar field,…
