We apply a new bosonization technique to relativistic field theories of fermions whose partition function is dominated by bosonic composites, and derive the effective action for these bosons. The derivation respects all symmetries,…
It is shown that parity operator plays an interesting role in Dirac equation in (1+2) dimensions and can be used for defining chiral currents. It is shown that the "anomalous" current induced by an external gauge field can be related to the…
Conformal field theories have been extremely useful in our quest to understand physical phenomena in many different branches of physics, starting from condensed matter all the way up to high energy. Here we discuss applications of…
We apply the retarded/advanced formalism of real time field theory to the QED or QED like case. We obtain a general expression for the imaginary part of the two-point correlation function in terms of discontinuities. The hard loop expansion…
It is well known that bosons and fermions exhibit opposite behaviors when experiencing interference, in the sense that bosons have a tendency to bunch whereas fermions have a tendency to antibunch. Recently, this complementarity was…
We show in three dimensions, using functional integral techniques, the equivalence between the partition functions of the massive Thirring model and a gauge theory with two gauge fields, to all orders in the inverse fermion mass. Detailed…
In this paper we propose a new approach to formulate the field theory on a lattice. This approach can eliminate the Fermion doubling problem, preserve the chiral symmetry and get the same dispersion relation for both Fermion and Boson…
The aim of this thesis is to systematically and consistently study strongly coupled bosonic and fermionic conformal field theories using the large quantum number expansion. The idea behind it is to study sectors of conformal field theories…
Chiral bosons are important building blocks in the study of supergravity, string theory and quantum Hall effect. Along the last two decades many different formulations have appeared trying to describe the dynamics and the quantization of…
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 apply to lattice QCD a bosonization method previously developed in which dynamical bosons are generated by time-dependent Bogoliubov transformations. The transformed action can be studied by an expansion in the inverse of the nilpotency…
A new multifermion formulation of lattice QCD is proposed. The model is free of spectrum doubling and preserves all nonanomalous chiral symmetries up to exponentially small corrections. It is argued that a small number of fermion fields may…
In the presence of boundaries, the quantum anomalies acquire additional boundary terms. In odd dimensions the integrated conformal anomaly, for which the bulk contribution is known to be absent, is non-trivial due to the boundary terms.…
The effect of quantum corrections to a conformally invariant field theory for a self-interacting scalar field on a curved manifold with boundary is considered. The analysis is most easily performed in a space of constant curvature the…
Recent results of A. Sen on quantum field theory models with self-dual field strengths use string field theory as a starting point. In the present work, we show that combining string field theory and supergeometry we can provide a…
Chiral edge states of 2+1 dimensional Abelian and non-Abelian topological phases can be represented by chiral conformal field theories with integer and non-integer values of central charge, respectively. In this work we describe certain…
We derive the dimensional non-perturbative part of the QCD effective action for scalar and pseudoscalar meson fields by means of chiral and conformal bosonization. The related structural coupling constants L_5 and L_8 of the chiral…
