We present an orbifold compactification of the minimal seven dimensional supergravity. The vacuum is a slice of AdS_7 where six-branes of opposite tension are located at the orbifold fixed points. The cancellation of gauge and gravitational…
We investigate the effect of $U (1)$ gauge field on lattice fermion systems with a curved domain-wall mass term. In the same way as the conventional flat domain-wall fermion, the chiral edge modes appear localized at the wall, whose Dirac…
The quantum fluctuations of the quark condensate are calculated using a regulated Nambu Jona-Lasinio model. The corresponding quantum fluctuations of the chiral fields are compared to those which are predicted by an ''equivalent'' sigma…
We study the quench dynamics of a topologically trivial one-dimensional gapless wire following its sudden coupling to topological bound states. We find that as the bound states leak into and propagate through the wire, signatures of their…
In the Berkooz-Douglas matrix model of M theory in the presence of longitudinal $M5$-brane, we investigate the effective dynamics of the system by considering the longitudinal $M5$-brane as the background and the spherical $M5$-brane…
The chiral quark condensate of QCD, which spontaneously breaks the anomalous axial symmetry, gives rise to axionic type global string-wall systems. If a Peccei-Quinn type axion exists in the theory, the axionic strings are in general…
We study axion electrodynamics, including the Chern-Simons interaction term, in the presence of parallel background electric and magnetic fields, as can for example occur in certain models of axion inflation and in the study of dyonic black…
Two closely related topological phenomena are studied at finite density and temperature. These are chiral anomaly and Chern--Simons term. It occurs that the chiral anomaly doesn't depend on density and temperature. Chern-Simons term…
We systematically study the anomaly inflow by the bulk Chern-Simons (CS) theory in a slice of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime ($\text{AdS}_5$). The introduction of UV and IR 3-branes makes the anomaly story remarkably rich and…
We explore the dynamical mechanism for generating the infrared singular quark-gluon vertex and quark confinement based on the gauge invariance in covariant-gauge quantum chromodynamics(QCD). We first derive the gauge-invariance constraint…
The $(1+1)$-dimensional chiral anomaly is a paradigmatic exact result in quantum field theory, traditionally formulated for zero-temperature pure states where it arises from spectral flow induced by external gauge fields and captures…
The first part of this paper is a review of the author's work with S. Bahcall which gave an elementary derivation of the Chern Simons description of the Quantum Hall effect for filling fraction $1/n$. The notation has been modernized to…
Despite its importance for subjects ranging from cosmology to plasma physics, first principle simulations of the dynamics associated with a U(1) chiral anomaly have been started only recently. In this work, we report on the current status…
We analyze the topological and fermionic vacuum structure of four-dimensional QCD on the lattice by means of correlators of fermionic observables and topological densities. We show the existence of strong local correlations between the…
We derive the general form of the anomaly for chiral spinors and self-dual antisymmetric tensors living on D-brane and O-plane interesections, using both path-integral and index theorem methods. We then show that the anomalous couplings to…
We study $QED_3$ with magnetic-like defects using the Julia-Toulouse condensation mechanism (JTM). By a careful treatment of the symmetries we suggest a geometrical interpretation for distinct debatable issues in the MCS-monopole system:…
The problem of the M5 brane anomaly cancellation is addressed. We reformulate FHMM construction making explicit the relation with the M5 brane SUGRA solution. We suggest another solution to the magnetic coupling equation which doesn't need…
We study the anomalous induced current of a vortex in a relativistic fluid via the chiral vortical effect, which is analogous to the anomalous current induced by a magnetic field via the chiral magnetic effect. We perform this analysis at…
We study the dynamics of a 2+1 dimensional relativistic viscous conformal fluid in Minkowski spacetime. Such fluid solutions arise as duals, under the "gravity/fluid correspondence", to 3+1 dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AAdS)…
The role of the axial anomaly in the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and quark chemical potential is investigated within a non-perturbative functional renormalization group approach. The flow equation for the grand potential…
