We compute the fixed point action for the Schwinger model through an expansion in the gauge field. The calculation allows a check of the locality of the action. We test its perfection by computing the 1-loop mass gap at finite spatial…
We compare continuum and lattice formulation of the geometric Schwinger Model on the torus. The lattice reproduces the $U(1)_A$ anomaly, related to non-trivial topological gauge configurations and zero modes.

Inspired by recent studies of high-scale decay constant or flavorful QCD axions, we review and clarify their existence in effective string models with anomalous $U(1)$ gauge groups. We find that such models, when coupled to charged scalars…
We consider a Klein-Gordon-Wave system, describing the evolution of a massive field and a massless one interacting through a Yukawa-like coupling, and we explicitly derive its Hamiltonian normal form to first and second order. To the…
We show that the requirements of renormalizability and physical consistency imposed on perturbative interactions of massive vector mesons fix the theory essentially uniquely. In particular physical consistency demands the presence of at…
We study a few two-dimensional models with massive and massless fermions in the hamiltonian framework and in both conventional and light-front forms of field theory. The new ingredient is a modification of the canonical procedure by taking…
