The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) model requires the choice of a gauge for the problem to be mathematically well-posed. In the literature, three gauges are commonly used: the Coulomb gauge, the Lorenz gauge and the temporal gauge.…
In this paper, we study the three-dimensional noncommutative Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. In the present analysis, a complete account for the gauge field two-point function renormalizability is presented and physical significant quantities…
It is well known that effective potentials can be gauge-dependent while their values at extrema should be gauge-invariant. Unfortunately, establishing this invariance in perturbation theory is not straightforward, since contributions from…
A manifestly gauge invariant and regularized renormalization group flow equation is constructed for pure SU(N) gauge theory in the large N limit. In this way we make precise and concrete the notion of a non-perturbative gauge invariant…

We show that the classical non-abelian pure Chern-Simons action is related in a natural way to completely integrable systems of the Davey-Stewartson hyerarchy, via reductions of the gauge connection in Hermitian spaces and by performing…
We study dynamics of non-relativistic Chern-Simons solitons, both in the absence and in the presence of external fields. We find that a phase, related to the $1$-cocyle of the Galileo group, must be included to give the correct dynamical…
We study the Green's function of the $ \nu=1/2 $ Chern-Simons system in the temporal (Weyl) gauge. We derive the Chern-Simons path integral in the temporal gauge. In order to do this, we gauge transform the path integral in the Coulomb…

We give a wilsonian formulation of non-abelian gauge theories explicitly consistent with axial gauge Ward identitities. The issues of unitarity and dependence on the quantization direction are carefully investigated. A wilsonian computation…
We consider the most general, classically-conformal, three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ Chern-Simons-matter theory with global symmetry $Sp(2)$ and gauge group $U(N)\times U(N)$. We show that the Lagrangian in the on-shell formulation of the…
In the gauge invariant formulation of U(1) chiral lattice gauge theories based on the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, the gauge field dependence of the fermion measure is determined through the so-called measure term. We derive a closed formula…
Three dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theories in the presence of the Chern-Simons action are seen as being generated by the pure topological Chern-Simons term through nonlinear covariant redefinitions of the gauge field
A method is presented for the computation of the one-loop effective action at finite temperature and density. The method is based on an expansion in the number of spatial covariant derivatives. It applies to general background field…
We investigate the temporal Wilson loop using the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory. In simple cases such as the Abelian theory or the non-Abelian theory in (1+1) dimensions, the known results can be reproduced using unitary…
We make two remarks: (i) Renormalization of the effective charge in a 4--dimensional (supersymmetric) gauge theory is determined by the same graphs and is rigidly connected to the renormalization of the metric on the moduli space of the…
I consider an Abelian gauge theory, with a complex scalar field and massless, chiral fermions, in the limit where the couplings and the interactions induce radiative symmetry breaking, and I derive and verify the Nielsen identities that…

We solve the gauged Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at leading order in the large $N$ expansion by computing the anomalous dimensions of all the fields of the model and other gauge independent critical exponents by examining the scaling behaviour…
The effective action of a Higgs theory should be gauge-invariant. However, the quantum and/or thermal contributions to the effective potential seem to be gauge-dependent, posing a problem for its physical interpretation. In this paper, we…
