An ultraviolet complete particle model is constructed for the observed particles of the standard model. The quantum field theory associates infinite derivative entire functions with propagators and vertices, which make quantum loops finite…
We excite the vacuum of a relativistic theory of bosons coupled to a $U(1)$ gauge field in 1+1 dimensions (bosonic Schwinger model) out of equilibrium by creating a spatially separated particle-antiparticle pair connected by a string of…
We discuss bosonization in three dimensions of an $SU(N)$ massive Thirring model in the low-energy regime. We find that the bosonized theory is related (but not equal) to $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons gauge theory. For free massive…
We apply the covariant derivative expansion of the Coleman-Weinberg potential to the sfermion sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, matching it to the relevant dimension-6 operators in the standard model effective field…
We use (fermion) mass perturbation theory for the massive Schwinger model to compute the boson-boson bound state mass in lowest order. For small fermion mass the lowest possible Fock state turns out to give the main contribution and leads…
We study the generating functional for the massless Schwinger model in the torus, at nonzero chemical potential and temperature. The lack of hermiticity of the Dirac operator yields a non-trivial phase in the effective action, which is a…
We show in three dimensions, using functional integral techniques, the equivalence between the partition functions of the massive Thirring model and a gauge theory with two gauge fields, to all orders in the inverse fermion mass. Detailed…
A representation for the fermionic determinant of the massive Schwinger model, or $QED_2$, is obtained that makes a clean separation between the Schwinger model and its massive counterpart. From this it is shown that the index theorem for…
We attempt to solve the Schwinger model, i.e. massless QED in 1+1 dimensions, by quantizing it on a space-time hyperboloid x_\mu x^\mu =\tau^2. The Fock-space representation of the 2-momentum operator is derived and its algebraic structure…
We consider the massive relativistic particle models on fourdimensional Minkowski space extended by $N$ commuting Weyl spinors for N=1 and N=2. The N=1 model is invariant under the most general form of bosonic counterpart of simple D=4…
We study the von Neumann entropy of a model for two-species hard-core bosons in one dimension. In this model, the same-species bosons satisfy hard-core conditions, while the different-species bosons are allowed to occupy the same site with…
We develop a method based on the generalised St\"uckelberg prescription for discussing bosonisation in the low energy regime of the SU(2) massive Thirring model in 2+1 dimensions. For arbitrary values of the coupling parameter the bosonised…
We construct and test a quasi-perfect lattice action for staggered fermions. The construction starts from free fermions, where we suggest a new blocking scheme, which leads to excellent locality of the perfect action. An adequate truncation…
We study the Schwinger model on a lattice consisting of zeros of the Hermite polynomials that incorporates a lattice derivative and a discrete Fourier transform with many properties. Such a lattice produces a Klein-Gordon equation for the…
Massless QED(1+1) - the Schwinger model - is studied in a covariant gauge. The main new ingredient is an operator solution of the Dirac equation expressed directly in terms of the fields present in the Lagrangian. This allows us to study in…
We investigate the mesonic light-front bound-state equations of the 't Hooft and Schwinger model in the two-particle, i.e. valence sector, for small fermion mass. We perform a high precision determination of the mass and light-cone wave…
Based on the physical projector approach, a nonpertubative quantization of the massless Schwinger model is considered which does not require any gauge fixing. The spectrum of physical states, readily identified following a diagonalization…
The Schwinger model with two massive fermions is a nontrivial theory for which no analytical solution is known. The strong coupling limit of the theory allows for different semiclassical approximations to extract properties of its low-lying…
The authors reexamine the two-dimensional model of massive fermions interacting with a massless pseudoscalar field via axial-current-pseudoscalar derivative coupling. Performing a canonical field transformation on the Bose field algebra the…
We consider the well-known Lieb-Liniger (LL) model for $N$ bosons interacting pairwise on the line via the $\delta$-potential in the mean-field scaling regime. Assuming suitable asymptotic factorization of the initial wave functions and…
