Axial and gauge anomalies in a theory with one and two-form gauge fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the problem of axial and gauge anomalies in a reducible theory involving vector and tensor gauge fields coupled in a topological way. We consider that vector and axial fermionic currents couple with the tensor field in the same topological manner as the vector gauge one. This kind of coupling leads to an anomalous axial current, contrarily to the results found in literature involving other tensor couplings, where no anomaly is obtained.

Non-commutative field theory as a theory including the Lorentz violation can be constructed in two different ways. In the first method, the non-commutative fields are the same as the ordinary ones while the gauge group is restricted to U(n). For example, the symmetry group of standard model in non-commutative space is U(3)×(2)×U(1) which can be reduced to SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) by two appropriate spo...
متن کاملThe Axial Anomaly Revisited *
We consider theories with gauged chiral fermions in which there are abelian anomalies, and no nonabelian anomalies (but there may be nonabelian gauge fields present). We construct an associated theory that is gauge-invariant, renormalizable, and with the same particle content, by adding a finite number of terms to the action. Alternatively one can view the new theory as arising from the origina...

متن کاملConformal Anomalies in Noncommutative Gauge Theories
We calculate conformal anomalies in noncommutative gauge theories by using path integral method (Fujikawa’s method). As well as the axial anomalies and chiral gauge anomalies, the conformal anomalies take the form of the straightforward Moyal deformation in the corresponding conformal anomalies in ordinary gauge theories. However, Moyal star product leads the difference in the coefficient of th...
متن کاملQuantisation without Witten Anomalies
It is argued that the gauge anomalies are only the artefacts of quantum field theory when certain subtleties are not taken into account. With the Berry's phase needed to satisfy certain boundary conditions of the generating path integral, the gauge anomalies associated with homotopically nontrivial gauge transformations are shown explicitly to be eliminated, without any extra quantum fields int...
