We evaluate exactly both the non-relativistic and relativistic fermion determinant in 2+1 dimensions in a constant background field at finite temperature. The effect of finite chemical potential is also considered. In both cases, the…
In an effort to further understand the structure of effective actions for fermions in an external gauge background at finite temperature, we study the example of 1+1 dimensional fermions interacting with an arbitrary Abelian gauge field. We…
An exact representation of the Euclidean fermion determinant in two dimensions for centrally symmetric, finite-ranged Abelian background fields is derived. Input data are the wave function inside the field's range and the scattering phase…
We present results for the fermion determinant in an external Yukawa-coupled scalar field, a quantity relevant to instanton and sphaleron transition rates as well as bubble nucleation occuring in the electroweak phase transition when the…
We review the resolvent technique for computing the effective action in planar QED. For static magnetic backgrounds the effective action yields (minus) the effective energy of the fermions, while for electric backgrounds the imaginary part…
We study the transverse and longitudinal momentum spectra of fermions produced in a strong, time-dependent non-Abelian SU(2) field. Different time-dependent field strengths are introduced. The momentum spectra are calculated for the…
$SU(2)$ gauge fields and axions can have a stable, isotropic and homogeneous configuration during inflation. However, couplings to other matter species lead to particle production, which in turn induces backreaction on and destabilization…
We consider Fermions in a constant and uniform external $SU(2)$ magnetic field. We find that the results for the energy levels depend on the choice of gauge potential. Choosing a Landau type gauge potential yields his results. On the other…
In the finite-temperature Yang-Mills theory we calculate the functional determinant for fermions in the fundamental representation of the SU(N) in the background of an instanton with non-trivial values of the Polyakov line at spatial…
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 calculate exactly the functional determinant for fermions in fundamental representation of SU(2) in the background of periodic instanton with non-trivial value of the Polyakov line at spatial infinity. The determinant depends on the…
We study a model whose dynamics is determined by a Maxwell Lagrangian coupled to a complex scalar and a Dirac fermion field, in an $AdS_3$ black hole background. Our study is performed within the context of the Euclidean formalism, in terms…
We consider fermion (or determinantal) random point fields on Euclidean space $\mbR^d$. Given a bounded, translation invariant, and positive definite integral operator $J$ on $L^2(\mbR^d)$, we introduce a determinantal interaction for a…
In this article, we have considered an extension of the inert Higgs doublet model with $SU(2)_L$ singlet vector like fermions. Our model is capable of addressing some interesting anomalous results in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays (like…
We present, from first principles, a direct method for evaluating the exact fermion propagator in the presence of a general background field at finite temperature, which can be used to determine the finite temperature effective action for…
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and are obtained in a covariant manner. No interaction terms…
In light of recent data from direct detection experiments and the Large Hadron Collider, we explore models of dark matter in which an SU(2) doublet is mixed with a Standard Model singlet. We impose a thermal history. If the new particles…
We evaluate the fermionic determinant for massless QED_2 at finite temperature, in the imaginary time formalism. By using a decoupling transformation of the fermionic fields, we show that the determinant factorizes into the usual,…
Axion-like particles with a coupling to non-Abelian gauge fields at finite temperature can experience dissipation due to sphaleron heating. This could play an important role for warm inflation or dynamical dark energy. We investigate to…
SU(2)xU(1) electroweak gauge model without Higgs sector is extended by a new vector field C interacting with leptons and quarks of both chiralities. This interaction is treated under a dynamical assumption in a self-consistent…
