We show that noncommutative gauge theories with arbitrary compact gauge group defined by means of the Seiberg-Witten map have the same one-loop anomalies as their commutative counterparts. This is done in two steps. By explicitly…
Assuming high temperature and taking subleading temperature dependence into account, gauge dependence of one-loop electron dispersion relation is investigated in massless QED at zero chemical potential. The analysis is carried out using a…
We derive a relation between four-fermion QED Green functions of different covariant gauges which defines the gauge dependence completely. We use the derived gauge dependence to check the gauge invariance of atom-like bound state…
In this paper, we propose a gauge-invariant way to define and calculate the effective mass for quasiparticles in systems with gauge interactions, and apply it to a model closely related to the half-filled Landau level problem. Our model is…
In this pedagogical note, I present a method for constructing a fully covariant normal coordinate expansion of the gauge potential on a curved space-time manifold. Although the content of this paper is elementary, the results may prove…
A classically scale-invariant 6d analog of the 4d Yang-Mills theory is the 4-derivative $ (\nabla F)^2 + F^3$ gauge theory with two independent couplings. Motivated by a search for a perturbatively conformal but possibly non-unitary 6d…
Using perturbation theory, we explore the universal high momentum behavior of correlation functions of gauge invariant operators in planar noncommutative gauge theories. We find that the correlation functions are strongly enhanced when…
Being motivated by physical applications (as the phi^4 model) we calculate the heat kernel coefficients for generalised Laplacians on the Moyal plane containing both left and right multiplications. We found both star-local and star-nonlocal…
Gauge invariance is essential for making physically meaningful predictions. In superconductors, mean-field Hamiltonians that explicitly break $U(1)$ symmetry often yield gauge-dependent results. While this issue has been resolved for linear…
Gauge-invariant polynomial functions of matrix and tensor variables capture combinatorial structures of gauge-string duality, which can be usefully organised using finite-dimensional associative algebras. I review recent work on eigenvalue…

We consider a class of constant-coefficient partial differential operators on a finite-dimensional real vector space which exhibit a natural dilation invariance. Typically, these operators are anisotropic, allowing for different degrees in…
Recent works have argued that improved one-loop beta-functions capturing the physical momentum dependence of one-loop corrected higher-derivative gravity theories are the most suitable to describe their high-energy behaviour. This work…
In this paper, we demonstrate that not only the heat kernel techniques are useful for computation of the parity anomaly, but also the parity anomaly turns out to be a powerful mean in studying the heat kernel. We show that the gravitational…
We study the gauge anomaly ${\cal A}$ defined on a 4-dimensional infinite lattice while keeping the lattice spacing finite. We assume that (I) ${\cal A}$ depends smoothly and locally on the gauge potential, (II) ${\cal A}$ reproduces the…
Extending the Feynman-Kleinert variational approach, we calculate the temperature-dependent effective classical potential governing the quantum statistics of a hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic at all temperatures. The zero-temperature…
The finite temperature effective potential of the Abelian Higgs Model is studied using the self-consistent composite operator method, which sums up the contributions of daisy and superdaisy diagrams. The effect of the momentum dependence of…
We build a systematic calculational method for the covariant expansion of the two-point heat kernel $\hat K(\tau|x,x')$ for generic minimal and non-minimal differential operators of any order. This is the expansion in powers of dimensional…
