The lepton anomaly in the presence of torsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the presence of a curved space-time with torsion, the divergence of the leptonic current gets new contributions from the curvature and the torsion in addition to those coming from the electroweak fields. However it is possible to define a new lepton current which is gauge and local Lorentz invariant whose divergence gets no contribution from the torsion. Therefore we argue that torsion does not contribute to anomalous lepton number production.

Torsion , topology and CPT anomaly in two - dimensional chiral U ( 1 ) gauge theory
Torsion, topology and CPT anomaly in two-dimensional chiral U (1) gauge theory Abstract We consider the CPT anomaly of two-dimensional chiral U (1) gauge theory on a torus with topologically nontrivial zweibeins corresponding to the presence of spacetime torsion. The resulting chiral determinant can be expressed in terms of the standard chiral determinant without torsion, but with modified spin...
متن کاملTORSION AND GANGRENE OF THE GALLBLADDER IN A CHILD
Torsion of the gallbladder with gangrene is a rare condition which is generally due to an abnormal anatomical variation of the organ i.e., loss of fixation of the organ to the inferior margin of the liver and the presence of a long meso cyst. The case considered is a seven year old boy who presented with acute abdominal pain. He underwent laparotomy 36 hours after having sustained blunt ab...

We consider the CPT anomaly of two-dimensional chiral U(1) gauge theory on a torus with topologically nontrivial zweibeins corresponding to the presence of torsion. The resulting chiral determinant can be expressed in terms of the standard chiral determinant without torsion, but with modified spinor boundary conditions. This implies that the two-dimensional CPT anomaly can be moved from one spi...
متن کاملTorsion Effect on the RC Structures using Fragility Curves Concerning Soil-Structure Interaction
The existence of torsion, as well as consideration of the Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI), increase the natural periods of the structure resulting from a subsequent decrease in the seismic demand of the system. This paper summarizes the probabilistic assessment for evaluation of collapse fragility curves in concrete moment resisting structure with different mass center eccentricities. A 12-sto...
متن کاملTesticular scintigraphy in the evaluation of the acute scrotum
Testicular scintigraphy has been well validated in the evaluation of patients with suspected testicular torsion and provides an accurate evaluation of testicular perfusion at the lime of imaging. However, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. A case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a revie...
