In this article we consider resummed expressions for the heat-kernel's trace of a Laplace operator, the latter including a potential and imposing Dirichlet semitransparent boundary conditions on a surface of codimension one in flat space.…
This is the second in a series of two contributions in which we set out to establish a novel momentum space framework to treat field theoretical infinities in perturbative calculations when parity-violating objects occur. Since no analytic…
We determine the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle via a procedure relatively independent of theoretical assumptions by simultaneously fitting $\eta- eta'$ reactions involving the anomaly--$\eta,\eta'\to\gamma\gamma, \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We extract…
Quantum anomalies are the breaking of a classical symmetry by quantum fluctuations. They dictate how physical systems of diverse nature, ranging from fundamental particles to crystalline materials, respond topologically to external…
We show that the hadronic "heat capacity" calculated as a function of temperature may be used to infer the possible presence of different scales underlying the dynamical structure of hadronic resonances using the phenomenon of Schottky…
In this paper, we investigate the Pontryagin trace anomaly for chiral fermions in a general curved background using Pauli-Villars regularization. We use both Feynman diagram method and Fujikawa's method to calculate the parity-odd…
We apply the heat kernel method (using Avramidi's non-recursive technique) to the study of the effective action of chiral matter in a complex representation of an arbitrary gauge sector coupled to background U(1) supergravity. This…
We study the weighted heat trace asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with mixed boundary conditions where the weight function exhibits radial blowup. We give formulas for the first three boundary terms in the expansion in terms of…
The mode properties for spectral and mixed boundary conditions for massless spin-half fields are derived for the $d$--ball. The corresponding functional determinants and heat-kernel coefficients are presented, the latter as polynomials in…
We use the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace to express all residues of spectral zeta functions as regularized sums over the spectrum. The method extends to those spectral zeta functions that are localized by a bounded operator.
We consider a gauge symmetry in a quantum Hilbert space. The symmetry leads to that of the heat-kernel and of the anomaly formulae which were previously obtained by the authors. This greatly simplifies and clarifies the structure of the…
We prove a local index theorem of Atiyah-Singer type for Dirac operators on manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity (Lie manifolds for short). With the help of a renormalized supertrace, defined on a suitable class of regularizing…
We consider the heat-kernel expansion of the massive Laplace operator on the three dimensional ball with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this example, we illustrate a very effective scheme for the calculation of an (in principle)…
This paper is devoted to mathematical and physical properties of the Dirac operator and spectral geometry. Spin-structures in Lorentzian and Riemannian manifolds, and the global theory of the Dirac operator, are first analyzed. Elliptic…
We give a short overview of the effective action approach in quantum field theory and quantum gravity and describe various methods for calculation of the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for second-order elliptic partial differential…
The eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator on spheres and real hyperbolic spaces of arbitrary dimension are computed by separating variables in geodesic polar coordinates. These eigenfunctions are used to derive the heat kernel of the…
We investigate the chiral anomaly in a Floquet system under a time-periodic electric field in (1+1) dimensions. Using the van~Vleck high-frequency expansion, we analytically calculate the chiral current and the pseudo-scalar condensate for…
Through analyzing the quark propagator under the magnetic field, we establish that the axial anomaly originates from an additional Dirac structure in quark propagator induced by the magnetic field. This Dirac structure also allows one to…
Chiral symmetry restoration at nonzero temperature and quark densities are investigated in the framework of a linear sigma model with N_f=3 light quark flavors. After the derivation of the grand potential in mean-field approximation, the…
In an experiment currently being performed at the Institute for High Energy Physics, Serpukhov, Russia, a beam of charged kaons is directed on a copper target. In the electromagnetic field of the target nuclei, two reactions occur: $K^+…
