The subtle relation of the marginality of Dirac model and the emergence of the Hopf term through a Yukawa-type interaction is revealed in this work. We show that the improvement of the marginality of Dirac mode through an infinitesimal…
The Hopf term in the $2 + 1$ dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which is known to be responsible for fractional spin and statistics, is re-examined from the viewpoint of quantization ambiguity. It is confirmed that the Hopf term can be…
We study the nonrelativistic nonlinear sigma model with Hopf term in this paper. This is an important issue beacuse of its relation to the currently interesting studies in skyrmions in quantum Hall systems. We perform the Hamiltonian…
It is known that the topological Hopf term in two-dimensional (2D) spin systems can be derived by coupling to massless Dirac fermions. We establish a universal rule governing the generation of Hopf terms in 2D quantum spin systems coupled…
We show that a Hopf term exists in the effective action of long-wavelength skyrmions in quantum Hall systems for both odd integer and fractional filling factors $\nu = 1/(2s +1)$, where $s$ is an integer. We evaluate the prefactor of the…
It is known that a two-dimensional spin system can acquire a topological Hopf term by coupling to massless Dirac fermions whose energy spectrum has a single cone. But it is challenging to realize the Hopf term in condensed matter physics…
The $\nu = 1$ quantum Hall ground state in materials like GaAs is well known to be ferromagnetic in nature. The exchange part of the Coulomb interaction provides the necessary attractive force to align the electron spins spontaneously. The…
The nonlinear $\sigma$-model in (2+1) dimensions admits topological configurations called skyrmions. The topological charge of skyrmions turn out to be the fermionic number and the fermionic current is dictated by the skyrmion field…
The one-loop effective action for the scalar field part of a non-Abelian gauge theory based on a general gauge group of the form $G\times U(1)$, where the gauge group $G$ is arbitrary, is calculated. A complex scalar field, both Abelian and…
We study the effect of a Chern-Simons term in a theory with discrete gauge group H, which in (2+1)-dimensional space time describes (non-abelian) anyons. As in a previous paper, we emphasize the underlying algebraic structure, namely the…
Using the renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP) we calculate the effective Hamiltonians in the theory of a fermion field coupled to a scalar field via the Yukawa interaction. The theory is renormalized by the…
In this paper, we present an algebraic formalism inspired by Butcher's B-series in numerical analysis and the Connes-Kreimer approach to perturbative renormalization. We first define power series of non linear operators and propose several…
We present an exact computation of effective Hamiltonians for an elementary model obtained from the Yukawa theory by going to the limit of bare fermions being infinitely heavy and bare bosons being at rest with respect to the fermions that…
This paper was originally designated as Comment to the paper by R. Jackiw and V. Alan Kostelecky (hep-ph/9901358). We provide an example of the fermionic system, the superfluid 3He-A, in which the CPT-odd Chern-Simons terms in the effective…
We consider the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory for the pure Yang-Mills model. We give a more precise version of the Wick theorem using Hopf algebra notations for chronological products and not for Feynman graphs.…
We consider the one-loop renormalization of a real scalar field interacting with a Dirac spinor field in curved spacetime. A general Yukawa interaction is considered which includes both a scalar and a pseudoscalar coupling. The scalar field…
We investigate the $CP^{1}$ model possessing the Hopf term which respects the second class constraints and admits the well defined the BRST operator $Q$. Using the operator $Q$, we explicitly construct its de Rham cohomology group by…
The dimensional reduction of the three-dimensional fermion-Chern-Simons model (related to Hopf maps) of Adam et el. is shown to be equivalent to (i) either the static, fixed--chirality sector of our non-relativistic spinor-Chern-Simons…
Recently it was shown by Cho and Kimm that the gauged $CP^1$ model, obtained by gauging the global $SU(2)$ group and adding a corresponding Chern-Simons term, has got its own soliton. These solitons are somewhat distinct from those of pure…
We test the renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP) on a model of fermion-scalar interaction based on the Yukawa theory. The model is obtained by truncating the Yukawa theory to just two Fock sectors in the Dirac…
