Dimensional regularization of the path integral in curved space on an infinite time interval
We use dimensional regularization to evaluate quantum mechanical path integrals in arbitrary curved spaces on an infinite time interval. We perform 3-loop calculations in Riemann normal coordinates, and 2-loop calculations in general coordinates. It is shown that one only needs a covariant two-loop counterterm (VDR = h̄ 8 R) to obtain the same results as obtained earlier in other regularization ...
متن کاملThe Standard Model Anomalies in Curved Space-time with Torsion
Using the Fujikawa and the heat-kernel methods we make a complete and detailed computation of the global, gauge and gravitational anomalies present in the Standard Model defined on a curved space time with torsion. We find new contributions coming from curvature and torsion terms to the leptonic number anomaly (so that B − L is not conserved any more), to the U(1)Y gauge and to the mixed U(1)Y ...

Using the Fujikawa and the heat-kernel methods we make a complete and detailed computation of the global, gauge, and gravitational anomalies in the standard model defined on a curved space-time with torsion. We find new contributions coming from the curvature and the torsion to the leptonic number anomaly ~so that B-L is not conserved anymore! to the U~1!Y gauge and to the mixed U~1!Y-gravitati...
متن کاملTrace anomalies and the string - inspired definition of quantum - mechanical path integrals in curved space
We consider quantum-mechanical path integrals for non-linear sigma models on a circle defined by the string-inspired method of Strassler, where one considers periodic quantum fluctuations about a center-of-mass coordinate. In this approach one finds incorrect answers for the local trace anomalies of the corresponding n-dimensional field theories in curved space. The quantum field theory approac...
متن کاملA path integral derivation of χy-genus
The formula for the Hirzebruch χy-genus of complex manifolds is a consequence of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch formula. The classical index formulae for Todd genus, Euler number and signature correspond to the case when the complex variable y = 0,−1 and 1 respectively. Here we give a direct derivation of this nice formula based on supersymmetric quantum mechanics. PACS numbers: 12.60.Jv, 02.40.Ma...
