The Effective Average Action is a form of effective action which depends on a cutoff scale suppressing the contribution of low momentum modes in the functional integral. It reduces to the ordinary effective action when the cutoff scale goes…

A periodic perturbation generates a complicated dynamics close to separatrices and saddle points. We construct an asymptotic solution which is close to the separatrix for the unperturbed Duffing's oscillator over a long time. This solution…

Much like the action, diffeomorphism invariance can be used to fix the form of the path integral measure in quantum gravity. Moreover, since there is a redundancy between what constitutes "the action" and what constitutes "the measure" one…

Based on the gauge invariant variables proposed in our previous paper [K. Nakamura, Prog. Theor. Phys. vol.110 (2003), 723.], some formulae of the perturbative curvatures of each order are derived. We follow the general framework of the…

On the basis of the Weyl equations of congruent transference, we consider a possible influence of the Weyl non-Abelian gauge field defining the transference on the precession of a gyroscope. Plane-wave solutions to the equations of the…

We develop a theory of anomalies of fermionic topological phases of matter in (2+1)D with a general fermionic symmetry group $G_f$. In general, $G_f$ can be a non-trivial central extension of the bosonic symmetry group $G_b$ by fermion…

The trace anomaly of quantum fields in electromagnetic or gravitational backgrounds implies the existence of massless scalar poles in physical amplitudes involving the stress-energy tensor. Considering first the axial anomaly and using QED…

We prove the analogue of Weyl's law for a noncommutative Riemannian manifold, namely the noncommutative two torus $\mathbb{T}_\theta^2$ equipped with a general translation invariant conformal structure and a Weyl conformal factor. This is…

We study boundary traces of shift-invariant diffusions: two-dimensional diffusions in the upper half-plane $\mathbb{R} \times [0, \infty)$ (or in $\mathbb{R} \times [0, R)$) invariant under horizontal translations. We prove that the…

The conformal anomaly and anomaly-induced effective action represent useful and economic ways to describe semiclassical contributions to the action of gravity. We discuss the anomaly in the case when the background is formed by metric and…

Conventional quantization of two-dimensional diffeomorphism and Weyl invariant theories sacrifices the latter symmetry to anomalies, while maintaining the former. When alternatively Weyl invariance is preserved by abandoning diffeomorphism…

We investigate perturbative aspects of gravity with a general F(R) Lagrangian, as well as nonperturbative dilatonic solutions. For the first part, we are interested in stability and the definition of asymptotic charges. The main result of…

The diffeomorphism covariance is a fundamental property of General Relativity which leads to the fact that the same solution of Einstein equation can be given in completely distinct forms in different coordinate systems. Distinguishing or…

Trace formulae for d-regular graphs are derived and used to express the spectral density in terms of the periodic walks on the graphs under consideration. The trace formulae depend on a parameter w which can be tuned continuously to assign…

We study the relation between boundary conditions and categorical symmetries of two-dimensional fermionic conformal field theories. We determine all anomaly-free invertible global symmetries of two free complex Weyl fermions, which take the…

The discovery of Weyl and Dirac semimetals has produced a number of dramatic physical effects, including the chiral anomaly and topological Fermi arc surface states. We point out that a very different but no less dramatic physical effect is…

We elaborate on anomaly induced actions of the Wess-Zumino (WZ) form and their relation to the renormalized effective action, which is defined by an ordinary path integral over a conformal sector, in an external gravitational background. In…

The generalized Weyl transform of index $\alpha$ is used to implement the time-slice definition of the phase space path integral yielding the Feynman kernel in the case of noncommutative quantum mechanics. As expected, this representation…

We extend formulae which measure discrepancies for regularized traces on classical pseudodifferential operators to regularized trace cochains, regularized traces corresponding to 0-regularized trace cochains. This extension from 0-cochains…

Nonlinear optical responses are a crucial probe of physical systems including periodic solids. In the absence of electron-electron interactions, they are calculable with standard perturbation theory starting from the band structure of Bloch…
