Quantum fluctuations generate in three-dimensional gauge theories not only radiative corrections to the Chern-Simons coupling but also non-analytic terms in the effective action. We review the role of those terms in gauge theories with…

We study systematically the higher order corrections to the parity violating part of the effective action for the Abelian Chern-Simons theory in 2+1 dimensions, using the method of derivative expansion. We explicitly calculate the parity…

The excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional $p_x+ip_y$ fermionic superfluid, such as a thin film of $^3$He-A, includes a gapless Majorana-Weyl fermion which is confined to the boundary by Andreev reflection. There is also a persistent…

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…

Three-dimensional gauge theories coupled to fermions can develop interesting nonperturbative dynamics. Here we study in detail the dynamics of $SU(N)$ gauge theories coupled to a Dirac fermion in the rank-two symmetric and antisymmetric…

We evaluate the spin-orbit and spin-spin interaction between two fermions in strongly coupled gauge theories in their Coulomb phase. We use the quasi-instantaneous character of Coulomb's law at strong coupling to resum a class of ladder…

The methods of quantum field theory are widely used in condensed matter physics. In particular, the concept of an effective action was proven useful when studying low temperature and long distance behavior of condensed matter systems. Often…

We propose a new, generic mechanism of inflation mediated by a balance between potential forces and a Chern-Simons interaction. Such quasi-topological interactions are ubiquitous in string theory. In the minisuperspace approximation, their…

A systematic study of chiral effects is presented using an Effective Field Theory framework. By integrating out a massive Dirac fermion at finite temperature in presence of vector and axial background fields, the currents and their…

Certain (3+1)-dimensional chiral non-Abelian gauge theories have been shown to exhibit a new type of global gauge anomaly, which in the Hamiltonian formulation is due to the fermion zero-modes of a Z-string-like configuration of the gauge…

A quantum field theory is referred to as bosonic (non-spin) if its physical quantities are independent of the spacetime spin structure, and as fermionic (spin) if they depend on it. We explore fermionic conformal field theories (CFTs) that…

Noncommutative Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in 3-dimensions is defined in terms of star product and noncommutative fields. Seiberg-Witten map is employed to write it in terms of ordinary fields. A parent action is introduced and the dual…

The effective average actions for gauge theories and the associated nonperturbative evolution equations which govern their renormalization group flow are reviewed and various applications are described. As an example of a topological field…

We propose a twisted SUSY invariant formulation of Chern-Simons theory on a Euclidean three dimensional lattice. The SUSY algebra to be realized on the lattice is the N=4 D=3 twisted algebra that was recently proposed by D'Adda et al.. In…

Strongly interacting one-dimensional fermions form an effective spin chain in the absence of an external lattice potential. We show that the exchange coefficients of such a chain may be locally tuned by properly tailoring the transversal…

We study Chern-Simons Gauge Theory in axial gauge on ${\mathbb R}^3.$ This theory has a quadratic Lagrangian and therefore expectations can be computed nonperturbatively by explicit formulas, giving an (unbounded) linear functional on a…

Three dimensional Yang-Mills gauge theories in the presence of the Chern-Simons action are seen as being generated by the pure topological Chern-Simons term through nonlinear covariant redefinitions of the gauge field

I point out that the $U(N)$ Chern-Simons $3d$ theory coupled to fermions at finite temperature and at a specific mean field approximation and the $3d$ Gross-Neveu model at finite temperature and imaginary chemical potential can give us the…

We consider chiral gauge theories defined over a four-dimensional spacetime manifold with a Cartesian product structure for at least one compact spatial dimension. For a simple setup, we calculate the effective gauge field action by…

Two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets host rich physics, including long-range ordering, high-$T_c$ superconductivity, quantum spin liquid behavior, topological ordering, a variety of other exotic phases, and quantum criticalities.…
