On the axial anomaly at finite temperature in the Schwinger model
نویسنده
چکیده
The axial anomaly in 2 dimensional QED at finite temperature is carefully investigated in the real time formalism in the limit of vanishing fermion mass. We follow the dispersion approach of Dolgov and Zakharov. The temperature independence of the anomaly is recovered.

Correlation Functions in the Schwinger Model at Zero and Finite Temperature
The general correlations between massless fermions are calculated in the Schwinger model at arbitrary temperature. The zero temperature calculations on the plane are reviewed and clarified. Then the finite temperature fermionic Green's function is computed and the results on the torus are compared to those on the plane. It is concluded that a simpler way to calculate the finite temperature resu...
متن کاملThe Schwinger Model and Its Axial Anomaly
The Schwinger model (quantum electrodynamics with massless fermions in one spatial dimension) is solved, supposing that space is a circle. This clarifies aspects of the usual version of the model, where space is a line, without changing the physics. The Hamiltonian formalism is used. On a circle, an abelian gauge field has one physical degree of freedom, and the gauge covariant Dirac operator, ...

In this article, the influence of various vacancy defects on the Young’s modulus of carbon nanotube (CNT) - reinforcement polymer composite in the axial direction is investigated via a structural model in ANSYS software. Their high strength can be affected by the presence of defects in the nanotubes used as reinforcements in practical nanocomposites. Molecular structural mechanics (MSM)/finite ...

We study an extension of the axial model where local gauge symmetries are taken into account. The anomaly of the axial current is calculated by the Fujikawa formalism and the model is also solved. Besides the well known features of the particular models (axial and Schwinger) it was obtained an effective interaction of scalar and gauge fields via a topological current.
