Large Gauge Invariance and Finite Temperature
In this talk, I summarize the status of our understanding of the puzzle of large gauge invariance at finite temperature.
متن کاملFinite Temperature and Large Gauge Invariance
Gauge theories are beautiful theories which describe physical forces in a natural manner and because of their rich structure, the study of gauge theories at nite temperature [1] is quite interesting in itself. However, to avoid getting into technicalities, we will not discuss the intricacies of such theories either at zero temperature or at nite temperature. Rather, we would study a particular ...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Perturbation Theory and Large Gauge Invariance
We examine finite temperature perturbation theory for Chern-Simons theories, in the context of an analogue 0 + 1-dimensional model. In particular, we show how nonextensive terms arise in the perturbative finite temperature effective action, using both the real-time and imaginary-time formalisms. We illustrate how large gauge invariance is restored at all orders, despite being broken at any give...
متن کاملLarge gauge invariance in non-Abelian finite temperature effective actions
We analyze large gauge invariance in the non-Abelian, finite temperature context and its physical consequences for D53 effective actions. After briefly reviewing the structure of bundles and large gauge transformations that arise in nonsimply connected 3-manifolds and gauge groups, we discuss their connections to Chern-Simons terms and Wilson-Polyakov loops. We then provide an invariant charact...
متن کاملGauge Invariance, Finite Temperature and Parity Anomaly in D=3
The effective gauge field actions generated by charged fermions in QED3 and QCD3 can be made invariant under both small and large gauge transformations at any temperature by suitable regularization of the Dirac operator determinant, at the price of parity anomalies. We resolve the paradox that the perturbative expansion is not invariant, as manifested by the temperature dependence of the induce...
