Nontrivial vacua in higher-derivative gravitation.
A discussion of an extended class of higher-derivative classical theories of gravity is presented. A procedure is given for exhibiting the new propagating degrees of freedom, at the full non-linear level, by transforming the higher-derivative action to a canonical second-order form. For general fourth-order theories, described by actions which are general functions of the scalar curvature, the ...
متن کاملNonabelian Confinement near Nontrivial Conformal Vacua
We discuss some aspects of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking in the so-called nonabelian Argyres-Douglas vacua, which occur very generally in supersymmetric theories. These systems are characterized by strongly-coupled nonabelian monopoles and dyons; confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking are caused by the condensation of monopole composites, rather than by condensation of single...
متن کاملLight Propagation Effects In QED: Effective Action Approach
The effects of light propagation in constant magnetic and electric backgrounds are considered in the framework of the effective action approach. We use the exact analytic series representation for the one-loop effective action of QED and apply it to the birefringence effect. Analytical results for the light velocity modes are obtained for weak and strong field regime. We present asymptotic form...
متن کاملIn Noncompact Lattice Qed with Light Fermions
In the framework of noncompact lattice QED with light fermions, we derive the functional dependence of the average energy per plaquette on the bare parameters using block-spin Renormalization Group arguments and assuming that the renormalized coupling vanishes. Our numerical results for this quantity in 8 4 and 10 4 lattices show evidence for triviality in the weak coupling phase and point to a...
متن کاملLight-light amplitude from generalized unitarity in massive QED
We calculate all the four-photon helicity amplitudes at the one-loop level in a massive theory using multiplecut methods. The amplitudes are derived in scalar QED, QED and QED theories. We will see the origin of rational terms. We extend the calculation to the simplest six-photon helicity amplitude where all photons have the same helicity. version June 28, 2009
