It is proposed a new mechanism for the phenomenon of topological mass generation in three spacetime dimensions as the result of the interference of two opposite massless chiral modes. This mechanism, already used to produce the massive…
We briefly review recent developments in the theory of supermembranes and supermatrix models. In a second part we discuss their interaction with background fields. In particular, we present the full background field coupling for the bosonic…
We show that the functional bosonization procedure can be generalized in such a way that, to any field theory with a conserved Abelian charge in (2+1) dimensions, there corresponds a dual Abelian gauge field theory. The properties of this…
We perform the gauge-fixing of the theory of a chiral two-form boson in six dimensions starting from the action given by Pasti, Sorokin and Tonin. We use the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, introducing antifields and writing down an extended…
We first propose an alternative to Vasiliev's bosonic higher spin gravities in any dimension by factoring out a modified sp(2) gauge algebra. We evidence perturbative equivalence of the two models, which have the same spectrum of Fronsdal…
We obtain a bosonization prescription that allows to represent the energy-momentum tensor and supersymmetry generators of non-critical superstring theories with minimal matter as those of topological supergravity. Superstrings with $N=1$…
In this article, we study the continuous correlations of the near-critical Ising model in two dimensions with plus boundary conditions, and prove that doubled correlation functions of primary fields (spin, disorder, fermions, energy) in the…
Recently the new interest arised (hep-ph/0403139) to the chiral coefficients $L_{11}, L_{12}, L_{13}$ in the low-energy ChPT lagrangian describing the pseudoscalar meson coupling to gravity and/or light singlet dilatons. In 90ties we…
The gauged model of Siegel type chiral boson is considered. It has been shown that the action of gauged model of Floreanini-Jackiw (FJ) type chiral boson is contained in it in an interesting manner. A BRST invariant action corresponding to…
We construct N=4 supersymmetric mechanics using the N=4 nonlinear chiral supermultiplet. The two bosonic degrees of freedom of this supermultiplet parameterize the sphere S(2) and go into the bosonic components of the standard chiral…
I discuss in this talk a bosonization approach recently developed. It leads to the (exact) bosonization rule for fermion currents in d > 2 dimensions and also provides a systematic way of constructing the bosonic action in different…
We show that abelian bosonization of 1+1 dimensional fermion systems can be interpreted as duality transformation and, as a conseguence, it can be generalized to arbitrary dimensions in terms of gauge forms of rank $d-1$, where $d$ is the…
We have constructed a modified BFT method that preserves the chain structure of constraints. This method has two advantages: first, it leads to less number of primary constraints such that the remaining constraints emerge automatically; and…
In several elementary particle scenarios, self-dual fields emerge as fundamental degrees of freedom. Some examples are the $D = 2$ chiral boson, $D = 10$ Type IIB supergravity, and $D = 6$ chiral tensor multiplet theory. For those models, a…
An extended bosonic coherent basis has been shown by Chen et al to provide numerically exact solutions of the finite-size Dicke model. The advantages in employing this basis, as compared with the photon number (Fock) basis, are exhibited to…
We have studied the theory of gauged chiral bosons and proposed a general theory, a master action, that encompasses different kinds of gauge field couplings in chiral bosonized theories with first-class chiral constraints. We have fused…
The method of bosonization is extended to the case when a dissipationless point-like defect is present in space-time. Introducing the chiral components of a massless scalar field, interacting with the defect in two dimensions, we construct…
We develop an exact solution to the problem of one dimensional chiral bosons interacting via an s-wave Feshbach resonance. This problem is integrable, being the quantum analog of a classical two-wave model solved by the inverse scattering…
Within the framework of the extended teleparallel gravity, a new class of boson stars has recently been constructed by introducing the nonminimal coupling of the scalar field to the torsion scalar. An interesting feature of these static,…
We generalize the linear sigma model in order to develop a chiral-invariant model of nuclear structure. The model is natural, and contains not only the usual sigma meson which is the chiral partner of the pion but also a new chiral-singlet…
