We study a large class of BPS surface defects in 4d N=2 gauge theories. They are defined by coupling a 2d N=(2,2) gauged linear sigma model to the 4d bulk degrees of freedom. Our main result is an efficient computation of the effective…
The energy landscapes of electrostatically charged particles embedded on constant mean curvature surfaces are analysed for a wide range of system size, curvature, and interaction potentials. The surfaces are taken to be rigid, and the…
The general form of the stress-tensor three-point function in four dimensions is obtained by solving the Ward identities for the diffeomorphism and Weyl symmetries. Several properties of this correlator are discussed, such as the…
Chiral Magnetic Effect and Chiral Vortical Effect are parity odd transport phenomena originating from chiral anomaly, and have generalizations to all even dimensional space-time higher than four dimensions. We attempt to compute the…
Two-particle azimuthal correlations allow one to study high-$p_{\rm T}$ parton fragmentation without full jet reconstruction. Enhancements of the azimuthal correlations are seen at $\Delta \varphi \approx 0$ and $\Delta \varphi \approx…
We construct the three point function involving an axial vector current and two energy-momentum tensors for four dimensional conformal field theories. Conformal symmetry determines the form of this three point function uniquely up to a…
Symmetry often governs the laws of nature, and breaking symmetry accompanies a new order parameter and emergent observable phenomena. Herein, we focus on broken Parity (P)-Time (T) symmetry, which lifts the Kramers' degeneracy, and thus,…
We classify the trace anomaly for parity-invariant non-relativistic Schr\"odinger theories in 2+1 dimensions coupled to background Newton-Cartan gravity. The general anomaly structure looks very different from the one in the z=2 Lifshitz…
A new approach is proposed to describe the parity violation in the process of scattering of a polarized proton by a proton at high energies. It is shown that in the tree approximation the P-odd amplitude of proton-proton scattering is…
We use the method of Weyl-gauging in the determination of the Wess-Zumino conformal anomaly action, to show that in any even ($d = 2 k$) dimensions all the hierarchy of correlation functions involving traces of the energy-momentum tensor is…
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…
We consider the self-interaction phenomenon in the framework of the Bopp-Podolsky electrodynamics. In the present paper, we obtain the self-interaction potential energy of a charge at rest for the spacetimes with topological defects of two…
We present a theoretical study on the band structures of the electron constrained to move along triply-periodic minimal surfaces. Three well known surfaces connected via Bonnet transformations, namely P-, D-, and G-surfaces, are considered.…
We develop the connection between intergalactic helical magnetic fields and parity odd signatures in the diffuse gamma ray sky. We find that the location and the amplitude of a peak in a parity odd correlator, $Q(R)$, can be used to infer…
The two-point function of exactly marginal operators leads to a universal contribution to the trace anomaly in even dimensions. We study aspects of this trace anomaly, emphasizing its interpretation as a sigma model, whose target space M is…
One of the interesting features about field theories in odd dimensions is the induction of parity violating terms and well-defined {\em finite} topological actions via quantum loops if a fermion mass term is originally present and…
It was shown recently that boundary terms of conformal anomalies recover the universal contribution to the entanglement entropy and also play an important role in the boundary monotonicity theorem of odd-dimensional quantum field theories.…
In this work, we review a plethora of modified theories of gravity with generalized curvature-matter couplings. The explicit nonminimal couplings, for instance, between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature $R$ and the Lagrangian…
The one-loop structure of the trace anomaly is investigated using different regularizations and renormalization schemes: dimensional, proper time and Pauli-Villars. The universality of this anomaly is analyzed from a very general…
We present a study of parity (P) violating contributions to the eigenenergies of stationary systems containing atoms in spatially inhomogeneous external electric fields. In this context the subtle interplay of P-violation and time reversal…
