In [Carey, A.L., J. Mickelsson, and M. K. Murray: Comm. Math. Phys. 183, 707 (1997)] Schwinger terms in hamiltonian quantization of chiral fermions coupled to vector potentials were computed, using some ideas from the theory of gerbes, with…
We compute the Schwinger terms in the energy-momentum tensor commutator algebra from the anomalies present in Weyl-invariant and diffeomorphism-invariant effective actions for two dimensional massless scalar fields in a gravitational…
We compute the Schwinger term in the gravitational constraints in two dimensions, starting from the path integral in Hamiltonian form and the Einstein anomaly.
We are dealing with two-dimensional gravitational anomalies, specifically with the Einstein anomaly and the Weyl anomaly, and we show that they are fully determined by dispersion relations independent of any renormalization procedure (or…
We describe the most general treatment of all anomalies both for chiral and massless Dirac fermions, in two-dimensional gravity. It is shown that for this purpose two regularization dependent parameters are present in the effective action.…
In this letter we show that the overlap formulation of chiral gauge theories correctly reproduces the gravitational Lorentz anomaly in 2-dimensions. This formulation has been recently suggested as a solution to the fermion doubling problem…
We formulate the Schwinger-Dyson equations in the ladder approximation for 2D induced quantum gravity with fermions using covariant gauges of harmonic type. It is shown that these equations can be formulated consistently in a gauge of…
Current superalgebras and corresponding Schwinger terms in 1 and 3 space dimensions are studied. This is done by generalizing the quantization of chiral fermions in an external Yang-Mills potential to the case of a Z_2-graded potential…
The Schwinger-Dyson equations in the ladder approximation for $2D$ induced gravity coupled to fermions on a flat background are obtained in conformal gauge. A numerical study of these equations shows the possiblity of chiral symmetry…

We study effective gravitational F-terms, obtained by integrating an $U(N)$ adjoint chiral superfield $\Phi$ coupled to the ${\cal N}=1$ gauge chiral superfield $W_\alpha$ and supergravity, to arbitrary orders in the gravitational…
We propose a classical action for the motion of massless Weyl fermions in a background gauge field in (2N+1)+1 spacetime dimensions. We use this action to derive the collisionless Boltzmann equation for a gas of such particles, and show how…
Some years ago, it was shown how fermion self-interacting terms of the Thirring-type impact the usual structure of massless two-dimensional gauge theories [1]. In that work only the cases of pure vector and pure chiral gauge couplings have…
We consider a gravitational model in a Weyl-Cartan space-time, in which the Weitzenb\"{o}ck condition of the vanishing of the sum of the curvature and torsion scalar is also imposed. Moreover, a kinetic term for the torsion is also included…
Some time ago Kaplan proposed a new model for the description of chiral fermions on the lattice by adding an extra dimension for the fermions. A variant of this proposal was introduced by Shamir and can be used to describe vector-like…
This article deals with two main topics. One is odd parity trace anomalies in Weyl fermion theories in a 4d curved background, the second is the introduction of axial gravity. The motivation for reconsidering the former is to clarify the…
In the present letter we indicate an extension of the pure gravity inverse scattering integration technique to the case when fermions (introduced on the base of supersymmetry) are present. In this way the integrability technique for simple…

We discuss some classical and quantum properties of 2d gravity models involving metric and a scalar field. Different models are parametrized in terms of a scalar potential. We show that a general Liouville-type model with exponential…
The Weyl equation describes chiral massless relativistic particles, called Weyl fermions, which have important relations to neutrinos. A direct observation of the dynamics of Weyl fermions in an experiment is difficult to achieve. This…
