We have calculated the running coupling in SU(2), SU(3), and SU(4) gauge theories to see whether they have infrared fixed points. An infrared fixed point means no confinement: It means that the long-distance physics is conformal, without a…
We study asymptotically free chiral gauge theories with an SU($N$) gauge group and chiral fermions transforming according to the antisymmetric rank-$k$ tensor representation, $A_k \equiv [k]_N$, and the requisite number, $n_{\bar F}$, of…
The G\"oppert-Mayer (GM) gauge transformation, of central importance in atomic, molecular, and optical physics since it connects the length gauge and the velocity gauge, becomes unphysical as the field frequency declines towards zero. This…
Within a spontaneously broken gauge group we carefully analyse and calculate triple gauge boson vertices dominated by triangle one-loop Feynman diagrams involving heavy fermions compared to external momenta and gauge boson masses. We…
We investigate the emergence of geometric phases in chiral transformations within gauge theories coupled to fermions. We begin by analyzing the Schwinger model in (1+1) dimensions, where chiral symmetry is explicitly modified due to the…
We construct theories of free fermions in $(2n-1)$-dimensions with $SU(1,n)$ spacetime symmetry from the null reduction of fermions on a $2n$-dimensional $\Omega$-deformed Minkowski background for $n=2$ and $n=3$. These play a role in the…
We search for weakly interacting fixed points in extensions of the minimally supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Necessary conditions lead to three distinct classes of anomaly-free extensions involving either new quark singlets, new quark…

We determine non-perturbatively the fixed-point action for fermions in the two-dimensional U(1) gauge (Schwinger) model. This is done by iterating a block spin transformation in the background of non-compact gauge field configurations…
In this work we present symmetry transformations relating bosons to fermions which cannot be represented as a supersymmetric algebra. We present a symmetry transformation relating a complex scalar and a fermion in four dimensions and…
Non-perturbative effects of instanton-like solutions are studied within the framework of supergravity theories with field-dependent gauge functions. Fermionic zero modes are constructed and some typical correlation functions are evaluated.…
We study the natural scheme-independent quantity obtained from the three-sphere partition function of a $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum field theory by removing all local counterterm ambiguities. At conformal fixed points this quantity equals…
The RI/MOM non-perturbative renormalization scheme is studied on the lattice in SU(3) quenched QCD with Wilson fermions. The gauge dependence of some fermion bilinear renormalization constants is discussed by comparing data which have been…
We study the coupling constant renormalization of gauge theories with an infinite multiplet of fermions, using the zeta function method to make sense of the infinite sums over fermions. If the gauge group K is the maximal compact subgroup…
The Jordan-Wigner transformation is frequently utilised to rewrite quantum spin chains in terms of fermionic operators. When the resulting Hamiltonian is bilinear in these fermions, i.e. the fermions are free, the exact spectrum follows…
Several simple asymptotically-free chiral gauge theories are studied. The only ``free parameters'' of our models are the choice of the gauge group and the matter Weyl fermion representations, and the relative magnitudes of the…
The Schwinger model is studied with a new one - parameter class of gauge invariant regularizations that generalizes the usual point - splitting or Fujikawa schemes. The spectrum is found to be qualitatively unchanged, except for a limiting…
Incorporated with twisted boundary condition, Polyakov loop correlators can give a definition of the renormalized coupling. We employ this scheme for the step scaling method (with step size s = 2) in the search of conformal fixed point of…
We investigate the effect of dynamical fermions on the sphaleron transition rate at finite temperature for the Abelian Higgs model in one spatial dimension. The fermion degrees of freedom are included through bosonization. Using a numerical…
In this work we study the critical behavior and momentum dependence of chirality-flipping fermion 4-point functions in non-abelian gauge theories. Our formalism is based on the Schwinger-Dyson system of equations. Considering the large-N…
