We describe the behaviour of semiclassical electrodynamics under gauge transformations. For this purpose we observe the structure of Schr\"odinger equation and matricial elements under these transformations. We conclude this theory is not…

We derive a systematic procedure to compute Green functions for the massive Schwinger model via a perturbation expansion in the fermion mass. The known exact solution of the massless Schwinger model is used as a starting point. We compute…
It is generally assumed that quantum field theory (QFT) is gauge invariant. However it is well known that non-gauge invariant terms appear in various calculations. This problem was recently examined in [9] for a "simple" field theory and it…

The chiral Schwinger model is formulated in the wilson-fermion formulation on the lattice and then simulated by the complex langevin algorithm. The simulation is done both without and with gauge fixing to the Lorentz gauge for the compact…
The staggered fermion approach to build models with chiral fermions is briefly reviewed. The method is tested in a U(1) model with axial vector coupling in two and four dimensions.
We pursue further an approach to lattice chiral fermions in which the fermions are treated in the continuum. To render the effective action gauge invariant, counterterms have to be introduced. We determine the counterterms for smooth gauge…
We analyze how gauge fixing, which is required by any practical continuum approach to gauge systems, can interfere with the physical symmetries of such systems. In principle, the gauge fixing procedure, which deals with the (unphysical)…
