Linear cosmological perturbation theory is pivotal to a theoretical understanding of current cosmological experimental data provided e.g. by cosmic microwave anisotropy probes. A key issue in that theory is to extract the gauge invariant…
We study a series of the Wess-Zumino actions obtained by repeatedly integrating conformal anomalies with respect to the conformal-factor field that appear at higher loops. We show that they arise as physical quantities required to make…
Quantum electrodynamics is generally extended to a nonlocal QED by introducing the correlation functions. The gauge link is introduced to guarantee that the nonlocal QED is locally U(1) gauge invariant. The corresponding Feynman rules as…
A consistent implementation of quantum gravity is expected to change the familiar notions of space, time and the propagation of matter in drastic ways. This will have consequences on very small scales, but also gives rise to correction…
Renormalizability of the (minimal) single-fermion QED extension is investigated at all orders of perturbation theory in the framework of algebraic renormalization, a regularization-independent method. Relative to the standard QED, new…
We derive a relation between four-fermion QED Green functions of different covariant gauges which defines the gauge dependence completely. We use the derived gauge dependence to check the gauge invariance of atom-like bound state…
We reassess an alternative CPT-odd electrodynamics obtained from a Palatini-like procedure. Starting from a more general situation, we analyze the physical consistency of the model for different values of the parameter introduced in the…
In this work, we derive the conditions that assure gauge invariance of a non-minimal dimension-5 Lorentz-violating QED. The two and three point functions at one-loop are computed. The gauge Ward identities are checked and the conditions to…
The bilocal effective action is developed as a viable tool to study mesons in the large-N limit of QCD. Several results from current algebra are derived in a new way using this action. The question of gauge invariance is discussed in an…
For supersymmetric gauge theories a consistent regularization scheme that preserves supersymmetry and gauge invariance is not known. In this article we tackle this problem for supersymmetric QED within the framework of algebraic…
We point out a critical defect in the calculation of the functional determinant of the gluon loop in the Savvidy-Nielsen-Olesen (SNO) effective action. We prove that the gauge invariance naturally exclude the unstable tachyonic modes from…
The problem of gauge invariance of the physical sector of (2+1)-dimensional Maxwell-Chern-Simons quantum electrodynamics (QED$_{2+1}$) is studied. It is shown that using Proca mass term for the infrared regularization one obtains…
Phenomena in gauge theory are often described in the physics literature via a specific choice of gauge. In foundational and philosophical discussions this is often criticized as introducing gauge dependence, and contrasted against (often…
We consider random walks on the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the real line ${\mathbb R}$. In particular, the fundamental question of uniqueness of an invariant measure of the generated process is raised. This problem…
The gauge invariant method for calculation of the effective action of the local composite fields in QFT is proposed. The effective action of the local composite fields in QED is studied up to 2-loop level. The graph rules for the local…
We consider the invariant measure of homogeneous random walks in the quarter-plane. In particular, we consider measures that can be expressed as an infinite sum of geometric terms. We present necessary conditions for the invariant measure…
