We consider a massive fermion interacting with a U(1) gauge field in the limit of a large coupling constant. It is found that the current has a generalized London term that can originate massive excitations for two of the three components…
An approach to field theory is studied in which fields are comprised of $N$ constituent random neurons. Gaussian theories arise in the infinite-$N$ limit when neurons are independently distributed, via the Central Limit Theorem, while…
These notes have been triggered by physicist's considerations on (1)'Pre-quantized wave equations' for matter fields, (2) Conservation laws, (3) Gauge Field extensions. All starting from variational principles. These notes do not contain…
We review the construction of Lagrangians for higher spin fields of mixed symmetry in the framework of graded geometry. The main advantage of the graded formalism in this context is that it provides universal expressions, in the sense that…
The dynamics of a gravitational wave propagating through a cosmic gauge field are dramatically different than in vacuum. We show that a gravitational wave acquires an effective mass, is birefringent, and its normal modes are a linear…
We consider field sets that do not form complete SU(5) multiplets, but exactly preserve the one-loop MSSM prediction for $\alpha_3(M_Z)$ independently of the value of their mass. Such fields can raise the unification scale in different…
In free completely symmetric tensor gauge field theories on Minkowski space-time, all gauge invariant functions and Killing tensor fields are computed, both on-shell and off-shell. These problems are addressed in the metric-like formalisms.
A gauge field model, which simultaneously has strict local gauge symmetry and massive gauge bosons, is discussed in this paper. The model has SU(N) gauge symmetry. In the limit $\alpha \longrightarrow 0$, the gauge field model discussed in…
Large scale strong magnetic fields in galaxies are generally thought to have been generated by a mean field dynamo. In order to have generated the fields observed, the dynamo would have had to have operated for a sufficiently long period of…
Fermions on a cylinder coupled to gravity and gauge fields are examined by studying the geometric action associated with the symmetries of such a system. The gauge coupling constant is shown to be constrained and the effect of gravity on…
Complex Schroedinger equation is transformed to spinor or coupled scalar field equations replacing the imaginary unit $i$ by a matrix $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\-1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$. New perspecive on stochasic approach is developed with…
The problem of gauge independent definition of effective gravitational field is considered from the point of view of the process of measurement. Under assumption that dynamics of the measuring apparatus can be described by the ordinary…
Unfolded equations of motion for symmetric massive bosonic fields of any spin in Minkowski and (A)dS spaces are presented. Manifestly gauge invariant action for a spin $s \ge 2$ massive field in any dimension is constructed in terms of…
The issue of the gauge invariance of gravitational waves arises if they are produced in the early universe at second-order in perturbation theory. We address it by dividing the discussion about the gauge invariance in three parts: the…
In gauge theories, physical histories are represented by space-time connections modulo gauge transformations. The space of histories is thus intrinsically non-linear. The standard framework of constructive quantum field theory has to be…
We construct time dependent random fields on the sphere through coordinates change and subordination and we study the associated angular power spectrum. Some of this random fields arise naturally as solutions of partial differential…
The origin of the spurious poles of the gauge field propagators in the temporal axial and the null-plane gauges is discussed. The conclusion is that these poles do not require any special prescription. They are a manifestation of the fact…
The standard model of particle physics is generalized so as to be furnished with a horizontal symmetry generated by an intermediary algebra between simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ and $\mathfrak{su}(3)$. Above a certain high energy…
Gauge fields of mixed symmetry, corresponding to arbitrary representations of the local Lorentz group of the background spacetime, arise as massive modes in compactifications of superstring theories. We describe bosonic gauge field theories…
