چکیده
We calculate the integrated trace anomaly for a real spin-0 scalar field in six dimensions in a torsionless curved space without a boundary. We use a path integral approach for a corresponding supersymmetric quantum mechanical model. Weyl ordering the corresponding Hamiltonian in phase space, an extra two-loop counterterm 1 8 (

Trace and chiral anomalies in string and ordinary field theory from Feynman diagrams for nonlinear sigma models
We write general one-loop anomalies of string field theory as path integrals on a torus for the corresponding nonlinear sigma model. This extends the work of Alvarez-Gaumé and Witten from quantum mechanics to two dimensions. Higher world-volume loops contribute in general to nontopological anomalies and a formalism to compute these is developed. We claim that (i) for general anomalies one shoul...

A new N = 1 superfield model in D = 4 flat superspace is suggested. This model describes dynamics of chiral compensator and can be treated as a low-energy limit of D = 4, N = 1 quantum superfield supergravity. Renormalization structure of this model is studied and one-loop counterterms are calculated. It is shown that the theory is infrared free. An effective action for the model under consider...

متن کاملConformal dynamics of quantum gravity with torsion
The trace anomaly induced dynamics of the conformal factor is investigated in four-dimensional quantum gravity with torsion. The constraints for the coupling constants of torsion matter interaction are obtained in the infrared stable fixed point of the effective scalar theory. ⋆ On leave from Pedagogical Institute, 634041 Tomsk, Russia In a recent paper [1] the trace anomaly induced dynamics of...
متن کاملQuantum Irreversibility in Arbitrary Dimension
Some recent ideas are generalized from four dimensions to the general dimension n. Two terms of the trace anomaly in external gravity, the Euler density Gn and 2 R, are relevant to the problem of quantum irreversibility. By adding the divergence of a gauge-invariant current, Gn can be extended to a new notion of Euler density G̃n, linear in the conformal factor. We call it pondered Euler density...
