We study Ward identities for simple processes with external gauge bosons in the time-ordered perturbation theory approach to time-like noncommutative gauge theories. We demonstrate that these Ward identities cannot be satisfied when all…
Considering the simple chiral fermion meson model when the chiral symmetry is explicitly broken, we show the validity of a trace identity -- to all orders of perturbation theory -- playing the role of a Callan-Symanzik equation and which…
The diffusion of electronic wave packets in one-dimensional systems with on-site, binary disorder is numerically investigated within the framework of a single-band tight-binding model. Fractal properties are incorporated by assuming that…

A Ward-Takahashi identity, as a consequence of gauge invariance and in a form that relates self-energy to the two-particle Bethe-Salpeter scattering kernel, was first derived by Vollhardt and W\"{o}lfle for a system of independent particles…
The scattering of electrons on impurities with internal degrees of freedom is bound to produce the signatures of the scatterer's own dynamics and results in nontrivial electronic transport properties. Previous studies of polaronic…
