We propose that the stability of dark matter is ensured by a discrete subgroup of the U(1)B-L gauge symmetry, Z_2(B-L). We introduce a set of chiral fermions charged under the U(1)B-L in addition to the right-handed neutrinos, and require…

We present four-loop results for the gauge beta-function and the fermion mass anomalous dimension for a gauge theory with a general gauge group and a multiplet of fermions transforming according to an arbitrary representation, calculated…

On the basis of an observation due to Kiskis, Narayanan and Neuberger, we show that there is a remnant of chiral anomalies in the reduced model when a Dirac operator which obeys the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is employed for the fermion…

A first principles calculation of the quantum corrections to the electric charge of a dyon in an N=2 gauge theory with arbitrary gauge group is presented. These corrections arise from the fermion fields via the mechanism of fermion…

We give another reformulation of the Thirring model (with four-fermion interaction of the current-current type) as a gauge theory and identify it with a gauge-fixed version of the corresponding gauge theory according to the Batalin-Fradkin…

We present new evidence for the conjecture that BPS correlation functions in the N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories are described by an auxiliary two dimensional conformal field theory. We study deformations of the N=2 supersymmetric gauge…

The grand partition functions of ABJ theory can be factorized into even and odd parts under the reflection of fermion coordinate in the Fermi gas approach. In some cases, the even/odd part of ABJ grand partition function is equal to that of…

A deep connection has been recently established between soft theorems and symmetries at null infinity in gravity and gauge theories, recasting the former as Ward identities of the latter. In particular, different orders (in the frequency of…

Let f be a transcendental entire function for which the set of critical and asymptotic values is bounded. The Denjoy-Carleman-Ahlfors theorem implies that if the set of all z for which |f(z)|>R has N components for some R>0, then the order…

The anomaly found by Callan and Harvey is shown to be cancelled in a three-dimensional noncommutative gauge theory coupled to a fermion with a mass function depending on one spatial coordinate (domain wall mass). This evaluation has been…

We present calculations of the leading and $O(1/N_f)$ terms in a large-$N_f$ expansion of the $\beta$-functions and anomalous dimensions for various supersymmetric gauge theories, including supersymmetric QCD. In the case of supersymmetric…

Based on recent works [1,2], we present the results of calculations for several physical quantities (meson masses, the S parameter, etc.) in a vectorial gauge theory, as a function of the number of fermions, N_f. Solutions of the…

We study the (in)stability around the dynamical gap solution of the $U(N)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory with fundamental fermions (massless or massive) coupled in $D=3$ at large $N$. Explicit analyses on both the Auxiliary-Field (AF) and the…

The minimal coupling method proved to yield definite and correct physical predictions when applied to fundamental fermions within the framework of Yang--Mills theories of Standard Model. Similarly, the possibility of formulating gravity as…

We apply a recently developed dilaton-pion effective field theory for asymptotically free gauge theories near the conformal window to the $SU(3)$ gauge theory with $N_f=8$ fermions in the fundamental representation. Numerical data for this…

We have carried out a Schrodinger-functional calculation for the Abelian gauge theory with Nf=2 four-component fermions in three dimensions. We find no fixed point in the beta function, meaning that the theory is confining rather than…

We show that for four dimensional gauge theories in the conformal window, the Euler anomaly, known as the $a$-function, can be computed from a $2$-point function of the trace of the energy momentum tensor making it more amenable to lattice…

We work out the factorization of the 3d superconformal index for N = 2 $U(N_c)$ gauge theory withone adjoint chiral multiplet as well as $N_f$ fundamental, $N_a$ anti-fundamental chiral multiplets. Using the factorization,one can prove the…

{We present the results of a numerical investigation of SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f=3/2$ flavours of fermions, corresponding to 3 Majorana fermions, which transform in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. At two values of the…

The detectability of the fermion-potentials appearing in a unified model of fermions is discussed from the viewpoint of an effective field theory. Although the fermion-potentials are effectively represented as terms similar to the…
