Casimir Effect for Gauge Scalars: The Kalb-Ramond Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we calculate the functional generator of the Green’s functions of the Kalb-Ramond field in 3 + 1 dimensions. We also calculate the functional generator, and corresponding Casimir energy, of the same field when it is submitted to boundary conditions on two parallel planes. The boundary conditions we consider can be interpreted as a kind of conducting planes for the field in compearing with the Maxwell case. We compare our result with the standard ones for the scalar and Maxwell fields.

Topological mass term in effective Brane-World scenario with torsion
In this work we investigate a braneworld scenario where a Kalb-Ramond field propagates, together with gravity, in a five dimensional AdS slice. The rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field is associated with torsion. We study the compactification of the Kalb-Ramond field to four dimensional space-time without gauge fixing, focusing on the effects of torsion. On the brane the Kalb-Ramond field interacts with Aμ...
متن کاملConfinement with Kalb – Ramond Fields
We consider models with N U(1) gauge fields Aμ, N Kalb-Ramond fields Bn μν , an arbitrary bare action and a fixed UV cutoff Λ. Under mild assumptions these can be obtained as effective low energy theories of SU(N+1) Yang Mills theories in the maximal abelian gauge. For a large class of bare actions they can be solved in the large N limit and exhibit confinement. The confining phase is character...
متن کاملAxionic Black Holes from Massive Axions
A black hole may carry axionic charge in a theory which has gravity coupled to a massless two-form Kalb-Ramond field. We show that this effect persists if the axion has a topological mass term coupling the Kalb-Ramond potential to a U(1) gauge field. Such mass terms arise in the low-energy effective theory of the string. Bitnet addresses: tjallen@suhep, bowick@suhep, lahiri@suhep.
متن کاملBulk Kalb-Ramond field in Randall Sundrum scenario
We have considered the most general gauge invariant five-dimensional action of a second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond tensor gauge theory, including a topological term of the form ǫBABHLMN in a Randall-Sundrum scenario. Such a tensor field BAB (whose rank-3 field strength tensor is HLMN ), which appears in the massless sector of a heterotic string theory, is assumed to coexist with the gravity...
متن کامل0 The Translation Groups as Generators of Gauge Transformation in B ∧ F Theory
The translation group T (2), contained in Wigner's little group for massless particles, is shown to generate gauge transformations in the Kalb-Ramond theory, exactly as happens in Maxwell case. For the topologically massive (B∧F) gauge theory, both T (2) and T (3), act as the corresponding generators.
