In three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED3) with massive gauge boson, we investigate the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the fermion self-energy in the Landau gauge and find that chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) occurs when the gauge boson mass ξ is smaller than a finite critical value ξcv but is suppressed when ξ > ξcv. We further show that the critical value ξcv does not qualitatively chan...

In this paper we consider a type-I superconducting film modeled by the Ginzburg-Landau model, confined between two parallel planes a distance L apart from one another. Our approach is based on the Gaussian effective potential in the transverse unitarity gauge, which allows to treat gauge contributions in a compact form. Using techniques from dimensional and ζ-function regularizations, modified ...

Within the superfield approach, we discuss three-dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) pseudo-QED. We prove that it is all-loop renormalizable. demonstrate SUSY pseudo-QED action can be generated as a quantum correction from coupling of spinor gauge to set $N$ massless complex scalar superfields. Afterwards, calculate two-point function superfields in which displays divergence vanishing certain gau...

Dynamical nature of the gauge degree of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied for four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theory in the vacuum overlap formulation. The covariant gauge fixing term and the Faddeev-Popov determinant are introduced by hand as a weight for the gauge average. At β = ∞, as noticed by Hata some time ago, the model is renormalizable at one-loop and the...

We propose a lattice version of Chern-Simons gravity and show that the partition function coincides with Ponzano-Regge model and the action leads to the Chern-Simons gravity in the continuum limit. The action is explicitly constructed by lattice dreibein and spin connection and is shown to be invariant under lattice local Lorentz transformation and gauge diffeomorphism. The action includes the ...

In this paper, we characterize local $T_{0}$ and $T_{1}$ quantale-valued gauge spaces, show how these concepts are related to each other and apply them to $mathcal{L}$-approach distance spaces and $mathcal{L}$-approach system spaces. Furthermore, we give the characterization of a closed point and $D$-connectedness in quantale-valued gauge spaces. Finally, we compare all these concepts to each o...

The BFT approach is used to formulate the electronic states in graphene through a non-commutative space in the presence of a constant magnetic field B for the first time. In this regard, we introduce a second class of constrained system, which is not gauge symmetric but by applying BFT method and extending phase space, the second class constraints  converts  to the first class constraints so th...

A refined expression for the Faddeev-Popov determinant is derived for gauge theories quantised around a reducible classical solution. We apply this result to Chern-Simons perturbation theory on compact spacetime 3-manifolds with quantisation around an arbitrary flat gauge field isolated up to gauge transformations, pointing out that previous results on the finiteness and formal metricindependen...

We show that the introduction of massless fermions in an abelian gauge theory in Z-t1 dimensions does not lead to any parity anomaly despite a noncommutativity of limits in the structure function of the odd part of the vacuum polarisation tensor. However, a parity anomaly does exist in non-abelian theories due to a conflict between gauge invariance under large gauge transformations and the pari...

We show that in pure gauge QCD (or any pure non-Abelian gauge theory) the condition for the existence of a global minimum of energy with a gluon (gauge boson) mass scale also implies the existence of a fixed point of the beta function. We argue that the frozen value of the coupling constant found in some solutions of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of QCD can be related to this fixed point. We al...
