This work examines the dynamical mass generation for the photon in Rarita-Schwinger QED. We focus our attention on the cases of $\omega=2,3$ dimensional spacetime. In these frameworks, it is well known that in the usual QED, the photon…
We propose a non--relativistic version of the Carroll--Field--Jackiw theory in order to study the breaking of Galilean symmetry induced by the inclusion of an external tensor via Chern--Simons--like term in the Galilean covariant Lagrangian…
In this paper, we describe the perturbative generation of the higher-derivative Lorentz-breaking terms for the gauge field, that is, the Myers-Pospelov term and the higher-derivative Carroll-Field-Jackiw term. These terms are explicitly…
We propose a regularization-independent method for studying a renormalizable field theory nonperturbatively through its Dyson-Schwinger equations. Using QED_4 as an example, we show how the coupled equations determining the nonperturbative…
We have shown recently that the resummation of soft photon contributions leads to a non-exponential decay of the fermion excitations in hot QED plasmas. The retarded propagator of a massless fermion was found to behave as $S_R(t >> 1/gT)…
We consider the Lorentz-violating extended QED involving all nonminimal dimension-5 additive CPT-odd terms. For this theory, we investigate the possibility of generating the Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) term of the first order in any of these…
We exactly solve Dyson-Schwinger equations for a massless quartic scalar field theory. n-point functions are computed till n=4 and the exact propagator computed from the two-point function. The spectrum is so obtained, being the same of a…
The Jackiw-Rajaraman version of the chiral Schwinger model is studied as a function of the renormalization parameter. The constraints are obtained and they are used to carry out canonical quantization of the model by means of Dirac…
Counting the degrees of freedom of the massless Rarita-Schwinger theory is revisited using Behrends-Fronsdal projectors. The identification of the gauge invariant part of the vector-spinor is thus straightforward, consisting of spins 1/2…
Dong, Munczek and Roberts have shown how the full 3-point vertex that appears in the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator can be expressed in terms of a constrained function $W_1$ in massless quenched QED. However, this…
We consider the gauged model of Siegel type chiral boson with a Lorentz non-covariant mass-like term for the gauge fields which is found to be equivalent to the chiral Schwinger model with Faddeevian anomaly when it is described in terms of…
Taking as a starting point a Lorentz non-invariant Abelian-Higgs model defined in 1+3 dimensions, we carry out its dimensional reduction to D=1+2, obtaining a new planar model composed by a Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca gauge sector, a massive…
The Landau gauge quark propagator in momentum space is investigated using the O(a)-improved Sheikholeslami--Wohlert (SW) quark action with a tree-level mean-field improved coefficient c_sw. We have studied the unimproved definition of the…
We extend the gauge invariant variational approach of Phys. Rev. D52 (1995) 3719, hep-th/9408081, to theories with fermions. As the simplest example we consider the massless Schwinger model in 1+1 dimensions. We show that in this solvable…
We extend the quantization \`a la Faddeev-Jackiw for non-autonomous singular systems. This leads to a generalization of the Schr\"odinger equation for those systems. The method is exemplified by the quantization of the damped harmonic…
We write down an $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric extension for non-Abelian gauge theories in (1+3) dimensions with a Lorentz- and CPT-violating term of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw type. By including effects of the background (supersymmetric)…
Lorentz and CPT violating QED with massless fermions at finite temperature is studied. We show that there is no ambiguity in the induced coefficient of the Chern-Simons-like term that defines the so-called Carroll-Field-Jackiw model at high…
Spin raising and lowering operators for massless field equations constructed from twistor spinors are considered. Solutions of the spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ massless Rarita-Schwinger equation from source-free Maxwell fields and twistor spinors are…
We study both massless scalar and Yang-Mills field theories in the deep infrared in presence of a simple boundary. We can show, with the help of the recent scenario emerging from studies on the propagators, that the presence of a mass gap…
We aim to clarify the confusion and inconsistency in our recent works [1,2], and to address the incompleteness therein. In order to avoid the ill-defined nature of the free propagator of the gauge field in the ordered states of the $t$-$J$…
