We analyze the constraint structure of the interaction of vector mesons with baryons using the classical Dirac constraint analysis. We show that the standard interaction in terms of two independent SU(3) structures is consistent at the…
In this paper we study the 3D gauge theory of two tensor gauge fields: $a_{\mu\nu}(x)$, which we take symmetric, and $B_{\mu\nu}(x)$, with no symmetry on its indices. The corresponding invariant action is a higher-rank BF-like model, which…
We apply a superspace formulation to the four-dimensional gauge theory of a massless Abelian antisymmetric tensor field of rank 2. The theory is formulated in a six-dimensional superspace using rank-2 tensor, vector and scalar superfields…
A simple unified closed form derivation of the non-linearities of the Einstein, Yang-Mills and spinless (e.g., chiral) meson systems is given. For the first two, the non-linearities are required by locality and consistency; in all cases,…
Irreducible bilinear tensorial concomitants of an arbitrary complex antisymmetric valence-2 tensor are derived in four-dimensional spacetime. In addition these bilinear concomitants are symmetric (or antisymmetric), self-dual (or…
A tensor is a multi-way array that can represent, in addition to a data set, the expression of a joint law or a multivariate function. As such it contains the description of the interactions between the variables corresponding to each of…
We investigate composite models of gravity and explore how dynamical tensor fields can emerge within the functional renormalization group framework. We consider two prototype models: a fermionic theory and a scalar theory. In both cases, an…
One of the most intriguing aspects of Chern-Simons-type topological models is the fractional statistics of point particles which has been shown essential for our understanding of the fractional quantum Hall effects. Furthermore these ideas…
We describe how the presence of the antisymmetric tensor (torsion) on the world sheet action of string theory renders the size of the target space a gauge non invariant quantity. This generalizes the R <--> 1/R symmetry in which momenta and…
The mutual compatibility of the dynamical equations and constraints describing a massive particle of arbitrary spin, though essential for consistency, is generically lost in the presence of interactions. The conventional Lagrangian approach…
A mechanism for addressing the 'decompactification problem' is proposed, which consists of balancing the vacuum energy in Scherk-Schwarzed theories against contributions coming from non- perturbative physics. Universality of threshold…
We construct non-standard interactions between exterior form gauge fields by gauging a particular global symmetry of the Einstein-Maxwell action for such fields. Furthermore we discuss generalizations of such interactions by adding…
The Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) framework for noncommutative (NC) space-times is considered as an alternative approach to describe the physics of quantum gravity. In this formalism, the NC parameter, {\it i.e.} $\theta^{\mu\nu}$, is…
This is a new version of the paper, which uses the same methods as in the previous version, but the model is now different. We study two complex scalar fields coupled through a quadratic interaction in 2+1 dimensions. We use the method of…
Strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixtures form a tunable XXZ spin chain. Within the spin-chain model developed here, all properties of these systems can be calculated from states representing the ordering of the bosons…
The effective action of nonrelativistic fermions in 2+1 dimensions is analyzed at finite temperature and chemical potential in the presence of a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. The method used is a generalization of the…
We describe a constraint analysis for the interaction of the vector-meson octet with the baryon octet. Applying Dirac's Hamiltonian method, we verify that the standard interaction in terms of two independent SU(3) structures is consistent…
The problem of the consistent definition of gauge theories living on the non-commutative (NC) spaces with a non-constant NC parameter $\Theta(x)$ is discussed. Working in the L$_\infty$ formalism we specify the undeformed theory, $3$d…
We study the $O(N)^3$ supersymmetric quantum field theory of a scalar superfield $\Phi_{abc}$ with a tetrahedral interaction. In the large $N$ limit the theory is dominated by the melonic diagrams. We solve the corresponding Dyson-Schwinger…
We develop the quantization of a recently proposed model describing a totally antisymmetric rank-$p$ tensor-spinor field (a fermionic $p$-form theory) in $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. The model provides a new nontrivial…
