Higher-Derivative Massive Fermion Theories
We propose and canonically quantize a generalization of the two-dimensional massive fermion theory described by a Lagrangian containing third-order derivatives. In our approach the mass term contains a derivative coupling. The quantum solution is expressed in terms of three usual fermions. Employing the standard bosonization scheme, the equivalent boson theory is derived. The results obtained a...
متن کاملSingular instantons in higher derivative theories
We study the Hawking-Turok (HT) instanton solutions which have been employed to describe the creation of an open inflationary universe, in the context of higher derivative theories. We consider the effects of adding quadratic and cubic terms of the forms αR2 and βR3 to the gravitational action. Using a conformal transformation to convert the higher derivative theories into theories of self inte...
متن کاملBlack holes in higher-derivative gravity theories.
We study static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein gravity plus an action polynomial in the Ricci scalar, R, of arbitrary degree, n, in arbitrary dimension, D. The global properties of all such solutions are derived by studying the phase space of field equations in the equivalent theory of gravity coupled to a scalar field, which is obtained by a field redefinition and conformal transf...
متن کاملHigher-derivative Two-dimensional Massive Fermion Theories
We consider the canonical quantization of a generalized two-dimensional massive fermion theory containing higher odd-order derivatives. The requirements of Lorentz invariance, hermiticity of the Hamiltonian and absence of tachyon excitations suffice to fix the mass term, which contains a derivative coupling. We show that the basic quantum excitations of a higher-derivative theory of order 2N + ...
متن کاملAction with Acceleration I: Euclidean Hamiltonian and Path Integral
An action having an acceleration term in addition to the usual velocity term is analyzed. The quantum mechanical system is directly defined for Euclidean time using the path integral. The Euclidean Hamiltonian is shown to yield the acceleration Lagrangian and the path integral with the correct boundary conditions. Due to the acceleration term, the state space depends on both position and veloci...
