Inconsistency of Naive Dimensional Regularizations and Quantum Correction to Non-Abelian Chern-Simons-Matter Theory Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
We find the inconsistency of dimensional reduction and naive dimensional regularization in their applications to Chern-Simons type gauge theories. Further we adopt a consistent dimensional regularization to investigate the quantum correction to non-Abelian Chern-Simons term coupled with fermionic matter. Contrary to previous results, we find that not only the Chern-Simons coefficient receives quantum correction from spinor fields, but the spinor field also gets a finite quantum correction.

On Superpotentials and Charge Algebras of Gauge Theories
We propose a new “Hamiltonian inspired” covariant formula to define the superpotential of a gauge symmetry, and the physical charges associated to it. This follows from the similarities which exist between the canonical formalism and the cascade equation techniques. Following the Hamiltonian formalism, the idea is to require the variation of the Noether current to be “well defined” in a sens to...
متن کاملAsymptotic Conformal Invariance in a Non-Abelian Chern-Simons-Matter Model
One shows here the existence of solutions to the Callan-Symanzik equation for the non-Abelian SU(2) Chern-Simons-matter model which exhibits asymptotic conformal invariance to every order in perturbative theory. The conformal symmetry in the classical domain is shown to hold by means of a local criteria based on the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. By using the recently exhibited regimes fo...
متن کاملThe Chern-Simons Coefficient in Supersymmetric Non-Abelian Chern-Simons Higgs Theories
By taking into account the effect of the would be Chern-Simons term, we calculate the quantum correction to the Chern-Simons coefficient in supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation of SU(n). Because of supersymmetry, the corrections in the symmetric and Higgs phases are identical. In particular, the correction is vanishing for N = 3 supersy...
متن کاملEffective Chern-Simons Theories of Pfaffian and Parafermionic Quantum Hall States, and Orbifold Conformal Field Theories
We present a pure Chern-Simons formulation of families of interesting Conformal Field Theories describing edge states of non-Abelian Quantum Hall states. These theories contain two Abelian Chern-Simons fields describing the electromagnetically charged and neutral sectors of these models, respectively. The charged sector is the usual Abelian Chern-Simons theory that successfully describes Laughl...
متن کاملAbsence of higher order corrections to the non-Abelian topological mass term
We study the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory systematically in an effort to generalize the Coleman-Hill result to the non-Abelian case. We show that, while the Chern-Simons coefficient is in general gauge dependent in a non-Abelian theory, it takes on a physical meaning in the axial gauge. Using the non-Abelian Ward identities as well as the analyticity of the amplitudes in the momentum variable...
