Nonlocal regularization of QED is shown to possess an axial anomaly of the same form as other regularization schemes. The Noether current is explicitly constructed and the symmetries are shown to be violated, whereas the identities…
Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky technique and the background field method the proof of gauge invariant renormalizability is elaborated for a generic model of quantum gravity which is diffeomorphism invariant and has no other, potentially…
The conformal anomaly has provided an expression for the effective action of gauge theories in the presence of a strong background field in terms of the running coupling constant. We exploit this result to find a novel expansion for the…
We study regulator and cutoff artifacts in the quark-meson model at finite temperature and quark chemical potential within the functional renormalization-group approach using the local potential approximation. To this end, we discuss the…
We briefly describe the construction of a renormalizable gauge model based on the nonlocal gauge invariant mass operator F1/D^2F. We also take a look at the unitarity of the resulting model.
This work is concerned with the recovery of piecewise constant images from noisy linear measurements. We study the noise robustness of a variational reconstruction method, which is based on total (gradient) variation regularization. We show…
In this paper we study the existence and regularity of stable manifolds associated to fixed points of parabolic type in the differentiable and analytic cases, using the parametrization method. The parametrization method relies on a suitable…
The note focuses on the differential geometric approach to the study of nonlinear systems that are affine in control. We first develop normal forms for nonlinear system affine in control. Based on these normal forms, we then address the…
We complete our study of non-Abelian gauge theories in the framework of Epstein-Glaser approach to renormalization theory including in the model an arbitrary number of Dirac Fermions. We consider the consistency of the model up to the third…
The effective anisotropic stresses induced by the scalar modes of the geometry depend on the coordinate system so that the comparison of the competing results is ultimately determined by the evolution of the pivotal variables in each…
We investigate the gauge symmetry and gauge fixing dependence properties of the effective average action for quantum gravity models of general form. Using the background field formalism and the standard BRST-based arguments, one can…
The conditions for the absence of gauge anomalies in effective field theories (EFT) are rivisited. General results from the cohomology of the BRST operator do not prevent potential anomalies arising from the non-renormalizable sector, when…
One feature of the chiral anomaly, analyzed in a perturbative framework, is the appearance of massless poles which account for it. They are identified by a spectral analysis of the anomaly graph and are usually interpreted as being of an…
By means of a finite elements technique we solve numerically the dynamics of an amorphous solid under deformation in the quasistatic driving limit. We study the noise statistics of the stress-strain signal in the steady state plastic flow,…
Gauge theories in axial gauges are studied using Exact Renormalisation Group flows. We introduce a background field in the infrared regulator, but not in the gauge fixing, in contrast to the usual background field gauge. It is shown how…
Since the x dependence of the axial-anomaly effect in inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering is fixed, the transformation from the $\bar{MS}$ scheme to different factorization schemes are not arbitrary. If the quark spin distribution…
Regularisation allows one to handle ill-posed inverse problems. Here we focus on discrete unfolding problems. The properties of the results are characterised by the consistency between measurements and unfolding result and by the posterior…
Paying attention to conformal invariance as the invariance under local transformations of units of measure, we take a conformal invariant quantum field as a quantum matter theory in which one has the freedom to choose the values of units of…
An experimental method has been developed to locate unstable equilibria of nonlinear structures quasi-statically. The technique involves loading a structure by application of either a force or a displacement at a main actuation point, while…
We discuss the determination of the heavy-light axial current renormalization in the static approximation, using a new method based on the Schr\"odinger Functional (SF). Previous perturbative results for the renormalization constant are…
