Comments on Higher Derivative Operators in Some SUSY Field Theories
We study the leading irrelevant operators along the flat directions of certain supersymmetric theories. In particular, we focus on finite N = 2 (including N = 4) supersymmetric field theories in four dimensions and show that these operators are completely determined by the symmetries of the problem. This shows that they are generated only at one loop and are not renormalized beyond this order. ...
متن کاملUnitary Issues in Some Higher Derivative Field Theories
We analyze the unitarity properties of higher derivative quantum field theories which are free of ghosts and ultraviolet singularities. We point out that in spite of the absence of ghosts most of these theories are not unitary. This result confirms the difficulties of finding a consistent quantum field theory of quantum gravity.
متن کاملHigher-Derivative Massive Fermion Theories
We propose and canonically quantize a generalization of the two-dimensional massive fermion theory described by a Lagrangian containing third-order derivatives. In our approach the mass term contains a derivative coupling. The quantum solution is expressed in terms of three usual fermions. Employing the standard bosonization scheme, the equivalent boson theory is derived. The results obtained a...
متن کاملSingular instantons in higher derivative theories
We study the Hawking-Turok (HT) instanton solutions which have been employed to describe the creation of an open inflationary universe, in the context of higher derivative theories. We consider the effects of adding quadratic and cubic terms of the forms αR2 and βR3 to the gravitational action. Using a conformal transformation to convert the higher derivative theories into theories of self inte...
متن کاملBlack holes in higher-derivative gravity theories.
We study static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein gravity plus an action polynomial in the Ricci scalar, R, of arbitrary degree, n, in arbitrary dimension, D. The global properties of all such solutions are derived by studying the phase space of field equations in the equivalent theory of gravity coupled to a scalar field, which is obtained by a field redefinition and conformal transf...
