Fermionic un - particles , gauge interactions and the β function

چکیده
The dynamics of fermionic unparticles is developed from first principles. It is shown that any unparticle, whether fermionic or bosonic, can be recast in terms of a canonically quantized field, but with non-local interaction terms. We further develop a possible gauge theory for fermionic unparticles. Computing the consequent contribution of un-fermions to the β function of the theory, it is shown that this can be viewed as the sum of two contributions, one fermion-like and the other scalar-like. However, if full conformal invariance is imposed, the latter vanishes identically. We discuss the consequences thereof as well as some general phenomenological issues.

Exact scaling transform for a unitary quantum gas in a time dependent harmonic potential Évolution d’un gaz quantique unitaire dans un potentiel harmonique variable : solution par changement d’échelle
A unitary quantum gas is a gas of quantum particles with a binary interaction of infinite scattering length and negligible range. It has been produced in recent experiments with gases of fermionic atoms by means of a Feshbach resonance. Using the Fermi pseudo-potential model for the atomic interaction, we show that the time evolution of such a gas in an isotropic three-dimensional time dependen...

متن کاملAnomalous dimensions and ghost decoupling in a perturbative approach to the generalized chiral Schwinger model.
A generalized chiral Schwinger model is studied by means of perturbative techniques. Explicit expressions are obtained, both for bosonic and fermionic propagators, and compared to the ones derived by means of functional techniques. In particular a consistent recipe is proposed to describe the ambiguity occurring in the regularization of the fermionic determinant. The role of the gauge fixing te...
متن کاملString spectrum of (1+1)-dimensional large-N QCD with adjoint matter.
We propose gauging matrix models of string theory to eliminate unwanted non-singlet states. To this end we perform a discretised light-cone quantisation of large N gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions, with scalar or fermionic matter fields transforming in the adjoint representation of SU(N). The entire spectrum consists of bosonic and fermionic closed-string excitations, which are free as N → ∞. We ...
متن کاملAn O(3) Global Anomaly in 0+1 Dimension
We present a simple exactly solvable quantum mechanical example of the global anomaly in an O(3) model with an odd number of fermionic triplets coupled to a gauge field on a circle. Because the fundamental group is nontrivial, π1(O(3)) = Z2, fermionic level crossing circling occurs in the eigenvalue spectrum of the 1-dim. Dirac operatorunder continuous external field transformations. They are s...
