We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. We aim at…
The classical case of Schur--Weyl duality states that the actions of the group algebras of $GL_n$ and $S_d$ on the $d^{th}$-tensor power of a free module of finite rank centralize each other. We show that Schur--Weyl duality holds for…
A recently proposed Boltzmann local equilibrium Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 particles is generalized to the case of Fermi-Dirac statistics. The resulting formula ensures the correct normalization of the mean polarization vector and…
Applying advances in exact computations of supersymmetric gauge theories, we study the structure of correlation functions in two-dimensional N=(2,2) Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories. We determine universal relations among correlation…

The "spin-up" and "spin-down" projections of the second order, chiral form of Dirac Theory are shown to fit a superposition of forms predicted in an earlier classical, complex scalar gauge theory (April, 1992 Class. Quantum Grav.). In some…
The $O(d,d)$ invariant worldsheet theory for bosonic string theory with $d$ abelian isometries is employed to compute the beta functions and Weyl anomaly at one-loop. We show that vanishing of the Weyl anomaly coefficients implies the…
We present numerical results for the 2-flavour Schwinger model with dynamical chiral lattice fermions. We insert an approximately chiral hypercube Dirac operator into the overlap formula to construct the overlap hypercube operator. This is…
This work studies the relationship between gauge-invariant and non gauge-invariant abelian vector models. Following a technique introduced by Harada and Tsutsui, we show that the Proca and the Chiral Schwinger models may both be viewed as…
We study two well-known $SU(N)$ chiral gauge theories with fermions in the symmetric, anti-symmetric and fundamental representations. We give a detailed description of the global symmetry, including various discrete quotients. Recent work…
The solution of the axial U(1) problem, the role of the topology of the gauge group in forcing the breaking of axial symmetry in any irreducible representation of the observable algebra and the theta vacua structure are revisited in the…
The coupling of spin 0 and spin 1 external fields to Dirac fermions defines a theory which displays gauge chiral symmetry. Quantum mechanically, functional integration of the fermions yields the determinant of the Dirac operator, known as…
We obtain the Ward identities and the gauge-dependence of Green's functions in non-Abelian gauge theories by using only the canonical commutation relations and the equations of motion for the Heisenberg operators. The consideration is…
The theory described by the sum of the Einstein-Hilbert action and the action of conformal scalar field possesses the duality symmetry which includes some special conformal transformation of the metric, and also inversion of scalar field…
We investigate the employment of a non-perturbative regularization scheme -- the spectral regularization, which is based on the gauge technique, previously implemented in the context of chiral quark models -- in the study of the gauge…
We first extend the Peierls algebra of gauge invariant functions from the space ${\cal S}$ of classical solutions to the space ${\cal H}$ of histories used in path integration and some studies of decoherence. We then show that it may be…
We consider a generalization of a duality symmetric model proposed by Schwarz and Sen. It is based on enlarging the model with a dynamical vector field being a time-like component of a local Lorentz frame. This allows one to preserve the…
Gauge theories are formulated on the noncommutative two-sphere. These theories have only finite number of degrees of freedom, nevertheless they exhibit both the gauge symmetry and the SU(2) "Poincar\'e" symmetry of the sphere. In…
We propose a six-dimensional regularization of four dimensional chiral gauge theories. We consider a massive Dirac fermion in six dimensions with two different operators having domain-wall profiles in the fifth and the sixth directions,…
Several interacting models of chiral bosons and gauge fields are investigated on the noncommutative extended Minkowski spacetime which was recently proposed from a new point of view of disposing noncommutativity. The models include the…
