Consistent gravitational anomalies for chiral bosons
Exact consistent gravitational anomalies for chiral bosons in two dimensions are treated both with the Schwinger-DeWitt regularization and independently through a cohomological procedure. The diffeomorphism transformations are described by a single ghost which allows to climb the cohomological chain in a unique way. Work supported in part by M.U.I.R.
متن کاملInterference Phenomena, Chiral Bosons and Lorentz Invariance
The concept of interference phenomena in quantum field theory is an analogy with Young's double slit experiment. It has been studied over the last few years, in various dimensions, in the light of the soldering formalism introduced by Stone to fusion two opposite manifestations of chirality. Firstly, we have studied the theory of gauged chiral bosons and proposed a new general theory that encom...
متن کاملCovariant actions for chiral supersymmetric bosons 1
We review a recently developed covariant Lagrangian formulation for p–forms with (anti)self– dual field–strengths and present its extension to the supersymmetric case. As explicit examples we construct covariant Lagrangians for six–dimensional models with N = 1 rigid and curved supersymmetry.
متن کاملLightest scalars as chiral partners of the Nambu–Goldstone bosons
We review the spectrum of lightest scalar resonances recently determined using dispersion techniques. The conceptual difference between the pole mass and the bare mass (or the line–shape mass) is stressed. The nature of the lightest scalars are discussed and we argue, without relying on any model details, that the σ(500), κ(700), a0(980) and f0(980) may be understood as chiral partners of the N...
متن کاملTopics on the Quantum Dynamics of Chiral Bosons
Chiral bosons are important building blocks in the study of supergravity, string theory and quantum Hall effect. Along the last two decades many different formulations have appeared trying to describe the dynamics and the quantization of these curious objects. However two of them have gain special attention among people working on this area: the gauge invariant formulation proposed by Siegel an...
