We present an evaluation of the fluctuation determinant which appears as a prefactor in the instanton transition rate for the two-dimensional Abelian Higgs model. The corrections are found to change the rate at most by a factor of 2 for 0.4…

We study the problem of decoupling fermion fields in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions, in interaction with a gauge field, by performing local transformations of the fermions in the functional integral. This could always be done if singular (large)…

The role of the contribution from the fermion mass term in the axial vector Ward identity in generating the U(1) axial anomaly, both local and global, is elucidated. Gauge invariance requires the fermion to decouple from the gauge field if…
