Higher-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 کاملUnitarity and the Holographic S-Matrix
The bulk S-Matrix can be given a non-perturbative definition in terms of the flat space limit of AdS/CFT. We show that the unitarity of the S-Matrix, ie the optical theorem, can be derived by studying the behavior of the OPE and the conformal block decomposition in the flat space limit. When applied to perturbation theory in AdS, this gives a holographic derivation of the cutting rules for Feyn...
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...
متن کاملRenormalizability of gauge theories in extra dimensions
We analyze the possibility of nonperturbative renormalizability of gauge theories in D.4 dimensions. We develop a scenario, based on Weinberg’s idea of asymptotic safety, that allows for renormalizability in extra dimensions owing to a non-Gaussian ultraviolet stable fixed point. Our scenario predicts a critical dimension Dcr beyond which the UV fixed point vanishes, such that renormalizability...
