this paper attempts to investigate the capability of the numerical finite element method for the removal of the regional effects from the observed gravity data from the dehnow anticline. from a geological point of view, the dehnow area is a part of the fars sedimentary basin south-east iran. the khamy formation and bangestan group are the oldest geological structures in the area that have outcr...

Abstract Loop quantum gravity introduces two characteristic modifications in the classical constraints of general relativity: holonomy and inverse-triad corrections. In this paper, a systematic construction anomaly-free effective encoding such corrections is developed for spherically symmetric spacetimes. The starting point analysis generic Hamiltonian constraint where free functions triad curv...

The aim of this work is to propose a first-order estimate of the crustal and lithospheric mantle geometry of the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone and to separate the measured Bouguer anomaly into its regional and local components. The crustal and lithospheric mantle structure is calculated from the geoid height and elevation data combined with thermal analysis. Our results show that Moho depth var...

John Bell’s emphasis of the essential ambiguities in anomaly calculations is recalled. Some descendants of the anomaly are reviewed. 1 John Bell and the Chiral Anomaly I expect that most everyone in this audience knows that John Bell codiscovered the mechanism of anomalous symmetry breaking in quantum field theory. Indeed, our paper on this subject [1] is his (and my) most-cited work. The symme...

A rare type of congenital mitral regurgitation is presented for the first time as an isolated cardiac anomaly. The malformation consists of a particular arrangement of the chordae tendineae of the posterior leaflet: the chordae, leaving the free margin or the undersurface, insert into the latter once again. A definition of the anomaly and a classification of all the chordal anomaliesfound in co...

We evaluate for arbitrary even dimensions the classical continuum limit of the lattice axial anomaly defined by the overlap-Dirac operator. Our calculational scheme is simple and systematic. In particular, a powerful topological argument is utilized to determine the value of a lattice integral involved in the calculation. When the Dirac operator is free of species doubling, the classical contin...

We examine the Weyl anomaly for a four-dimensional z = 3 Lifshitz scalar coupled to Hořava’s theory of anisotropic gravity. We find a one-loop break-down of scale-invariance at second order in the gravitational background.

We compute gravitational and axial anomaly for D-type (2, 0) theories realized on N pairs of coincident M5-branes at R/Z2 orbifold fixed point. We first summarize work by Harvey, Minasian, and Moore on A-type (2, 0) theories, and then extend it to include the effect of orbifold fixed point. The net anomaly inflow follows when we further take into account the consistency of T /Z2 M-theory orbifo...

In the central part of Fennoscandia, the crust is currently rising, because of the delayed response of the viscous mantle to melting of the Late Pleistocene ice sheet. This process, called Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA), causes a negative anomaly in the present-day static gravity field as isostatic equilibrium has not been reached yet. Several studies have tried to use this anomaly as a con...
