We consider a Dirac field in 2+1 Euclidean dimensions, in the presence of a linear domain wall defect in its mass, and a constant electromagnetic field. We evaluate the exact fermionic determinant for the situation where the defect is…

We investigate the effective action of 2+1 dimensional charged spin 1/2 fermions and spin 0 bosons in the presence of a $U(1)$ gauge field. We evaluate terms in an expansion up to second order in derivatives of the field strength, but…

We investigate the influence of a uniform magnetic field on the zero-point energy of charged fields of two types, namely, a massive charged scalar field under Dirichlet boundary conditions and a massive fermion field under MIT boundary…

In this paper, we present results of numerical lattice simulations of two-flavor QED in three space-time dimensions. First, we provide evidence that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the chiral and continuum limit. Next we discuss…

It is shown the analysis [1] for QED in 2+1 dimensions with N four-component fermions in the leading and next-to-leading orders of the 1/N expansion. As it was demonstrated in [1] the range of the admissible values N, where the dynamical…

We consider the effects of a noisy magnetic field background over the fermion propagator in QED, as an approximation to the spatial inhomogeneities and time-fluctuations that would naturally arise in certain physical scenarios, such as…

The problem of chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a strong magnetic field is briefly reviewed. Recent progress on issues regarding the gauge fixing independence of the dynamically generated fermion mass is discussed.

We present a numerical study of the fermion-induced effective action in the presence of a static inhomogeneous magnetic field for both 3+1 and 2+1 dimensional QED using a novel approach. This approach is appropriate for cylindrically…

QCD in 1+1 dimensions is examined in the limit of a large number of colors and flavors. The Hamiltonian matrix is given in a Fock space spanned by 't Hooft meson states and, for the case of zero fermion mass, a submatrix is diagonalized…

Non-compact three-dimensional QED is studied by computer simulations to understand its chiral symmetry breaking features for different values of the number of fermion flavors N_f. We consider the four-component formulation for the fermion…

A four dimensional fermion determinant is presented as a path integral of the exponent of a local five dimensional action describing constrained bosonic system. The construction is carried out both in the continuum theory and in the lattice…

We review several variants of three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED$_3$) with $N_f$ fermion (or boson) flavors including fermionic (or spinorial) QED$_3$, bosonic (or scalar) QED$_3$, $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric QED and also…

The adoption of two distinct boundary conditions for two fermions species on a finite lattice allows to deal with arbitrary relative momentum between the two particle species, in spite of the momentum quantization rule due to a limited…

We study 2D QCD with a fundamental fermion at small-$N$ using the recently proposed conformal basis approach. We find that effective conformal dominance still holds, namely that the spectrum converges efficiently, with high…

In the large fermion mass limit of QCD at finite density the structure of the partition function greatly simplifies and can be studied analytically. We show that, contrary to general wisdom, the phase of the Dirac determinant is relevant…

In this lecture we discuss various properties of the phase factor of the fermion determinant for QCD at nonzero chemical potential. Its effect on physical observables is elucidated by comparing the phase diagram of QCD and phase quenched…

We show that in the microscopic domain of QCD (also known as the $\epsilon$-domain) at nonzero chemical potential the average phase factor of the fermion determinant is nonzero for $\mu < m_\pi/2$ and is exponentially suppressed for larger…

The presence of a chemical potential completely changes the analytical structure of the QCD partition function. In particular, the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator are distributed over a finite area in the complex plane, whereas the zeros…

It is known that the one-loop effective action of ${QED}_2$ is a quadratic in the field strength when the fermion mass is zero: all potential higher order contributions beyond second order vanish. For nonzero fermion mass it is shown that…

In the last few years it has been proposed a one-dimensional factorization of the fermion determinant in lattice QCD with Wilson-type fermions that leads to a block-local action of the auxiliary bosonic fields. Here we propose a…
