The properties of the ground state and excitations of a four-component Hubbard-like model are studied by the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis approach. It is proven rigorously that the ground state of the model is nondegenerate and excitations are…
Anomalous quantization of the Electromagnetic field allows non-trivial (anti) self-dual configurations to exist in four-dimensional Euclidian space-time. These instanton-like objects are described as massless spinor particles.
We find a large class of quantum gauge models with massless fermions where the coupling to the gauge fields is not chirally symmetric and which nevertheless do not suffer from gauge anomalies. To be specific we study two dimensional Abelian…
I discuss the 2-flavor Schwinger model with $\theta=0$ and small equal and opposite fermion masses (or $\theta=\pi$ with equal masses). The massless model has an unparticle sector with unbroken conformal symmetry. I argue that this special…
Based on the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation, the fermion mass generation is further studied in the D(2<D<4)-dimensional Thirring model as a gauge theory previously proposed. By using a certain approximation to the kernel, we analytically…
We discuss the fermionic excitation spectra of the dense QCD and QED plasma at zero temperature, and analyze the stability of the normal (perturbative) ground state. The standard re-summed perturbation theory breaks down because the…
Worldline instantons have previously been used to study the probability of Schwinger pair production (both the exponential and pre-exponential parts) and photon-stimulated pair production (the exponential part). Previous studies obtained…
We consider the massless charge-$N$ Schwinger model and its deformation with two four-fermion operators. Without the deformations, this model exhibits chiral symmetry breaking without confinement. It is usually asserted that the massless…
In this review article, we review the recent developments in constructing string field theories that have been proposed, all of which correctly reproduce the correlation functions of two-dimensional string theory. These include: (a) free…

Massive arbitrary spin totally symmetric free fermionic fields propagating in d-dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter space-time are investigated. Gauge invariant action and the corresponding gauge transformations for such fields are proposed. The…
We study a lattice field theory model containing two flavors of massless staggered fermions with an onsite four-fermion interaction. The symmetry of the model forbids non-zero fermion bilinear order parameters that can generate a fermion…
We discuss what can be learned about unparticle physics by studying simple quantum field theories in one space and one time dimension. We argue that the exactly soluble 2D theory of a massless fermion coupled to a massive vector boson, the…
A nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson analysis of mass generation is presented for a non-Hermitian PT-symmetric field theory in four dimensions of an axion coupled to a Dirac fermion.The model is motivated by phenomenological considerations.The…
We study the problem of interacting theories with (partially)-massless and conformal higher spin fields without matter in three dimensions. A new class of theories that have partially-massless fields is found, which significantly extends…
Some years ago, it was shown how fermion self-interacting terms of the Thirring-type impact the usual structure of massless two-dimensional gauge theories [1]. In that work only the cases of pure vector and pure chiral gauge couplings have…
We present a non-perturbative study of the massive Schwinger model. We use a Hamiltonian approach, based on a momentum lattice corresponding to a fast moving reference frame, and equal time quantization. We present numerical results for the…
Starting from a reformulation of the Thirring model as a gauge theory, we consider the bosonization of the $D$-dimensional multiflavor massive Thirring model $(D \ge 2)$ with four-fermion interaction of the current-current type. Our method…
The free energy of the supersymmetric $t-J$ model is expressed in terms of finite temperature excitations above thermodynamic equilibrium. This reveals that the free energy has the form of noninteracting fermions with temperature dependant…
The distinct models that describe spin 1 and 2 massive excitations in 2+1 dimensions are analized, showing their equivalence (between models of same spin) and analogies (between models of different spin). Topics as spontaneous symmetry…
