We calculate all symmetries of the Dirac-Pauli equation in two-dimensional and three-dimensional Euclidean space. Further, we use our results for an investigation of the issue of zero mode degeneracy. We construct explicitly a class of…
We derive an index theorem for zero-energy Majorana fermion modes in a superconductor-topological insulator system in both two and three dimensions, which is valid for models with chiral symmetry as well as particle-hole symmetry. For more…
Zero modes of massive standard model fermions have been found on electroweak Z-strings. A zero mode solution for a massless left-handed neutrino is also known, but was thought to be non-normalizable. Here we show that although this mode is…
We complete the formulation of the equations of motion of a non-Abelian gauge field coupled to fermions on a finite-element lattice in four space-time dimensions. This is accomplished by a straightforward iterative approach, in which…
The construction outlined by Henyey is employed to provide examples of normalizable zero modes of the Faddeev-Popov operator in the Landau and maximal Abelian gauges in SU(2) Euclidean Yang-Mills theories in d=3 dimensions. The…
A brane-world $SU(5)$ GUT model with global non-Abelian vortices is constructed in six-dimensional spacetime. We find a solution with a vortex associated to $SU(3)$ separated from another vortex associated to $SU(2)$. This $3-2$ split…
Dirac fermions, subject to external magnetic fields and in the presence of mass orders that assume topologically nontrivial spatial textures such as domain wall and vortices, for example, bind robust midgap states at zero energy, the number…
$ \hat {U}(1)$ Kac-Moody gauge fields have the infinite dimensional $ \hat{U}(1)$ Kac-Moody group as their gauge group. The pure gauge sector, unlike the usual $U(1)$ Maxwell lagrangian, is nonlinear and nonlocal; the Euclidean theory is…
The standard model fermion spectrum, including a right handed neutrino, can be obtained as a zero-mode of the Dirac operator on a space which is the product of complex projective spaces of complex dimension two and three. The construction…
We realize an unpaired Dirac cone at the center of the first Brillouin zone, using a gyromagnetic photonic crystal with broken square sub-lattice symmetry and broken time reversal symmetry. The behavior of the Dirac modes can be described…
A non-Hermitian form of QED is presented which describes interacting Dirac monopoles. The theory is related by a canonical transformation to a model proposed by Milton. As in Hermitian QED an abelian gauge potential is coupled to a…
We extend work by Callan and Harvey and show how the phase of the chiral fermion determinant in four dimensions is reproduced by zeromodes bound to a domain wall in five dimensions. The analysis could shed light on the applicability of…
We study spectral properties of the Dirac and scalar Laplace operator on the Euclidean Schwarzschild space, both twisted by a family of abelian connections with anti-self-dual curvature. We show that the zero-modes of the gauged Dirac…
Fermionic zero modes around non-abelian vortices are shown that they constitute two $N=2$, $d=1$ supersymmetric quantum mechanics algebras. These two algebras can be combined under certain circumstances to form a central charge extended…
We consider Fermions in a constant and uniform external $SU(2)$ magnetic field. We find that the results for the energy levels depend on the choice of gauge potential. Choosing a Landau type gauge potential yields his results. On the other…
In this letter we derive new modes for massive Dirac field in the background of a higher-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. We use in our approach the Cartesian gauge defined in local frames. We work in the context of ADD-like theories,…
We discuss fermion zero modes within the 3+1 brain -- the domain wall between the two vacua in 4+1 spacetime. We do not assume relativistic invariance in 4+1 spacetime, or any special form of the 4+1 action. The only input is that the…
Recent lattice data indicates that volume occupied by topological fermionic modes shrinks to zero in the continuum limit of vanishing lattice spacing. The data apparently cannot be accommodated within, say, conventional instanton model. We…
In this paper we find the general (i.e. valid for arbitrary values of the winding number) form of the gauge zero-modes, in the adjoint representation, for theories living on manifolds of the ALE type.
We study monopole operators at the infrared fixed points of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories with N_f fermion flavors in three dimensions. At large N_f, independent monopole operators can be defined via the state-operator…
