Some aspects of the Standard Model in gravitational backgrounds with torsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Torsion appears in a natural way in modern formulations of the gravitational theories. In this work we study several aspects of the interplay between the Standard Model and a classical gravitational background with torsion. In particular we consider the problem of the gauge and gravitational anomalies, B and L anomalies, the effective action for the torsion and the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in the presence of torsion.

Gauge symmetries and holographic anomalies of Chern-Simons and transgression AdS gravity
We review the issue of gauge and gravitational anomalies with backgrounds, offering a new outlook on some aspects of these questions. We compute the holographic anomalies of hypothetical theories dual, in the sense of the AdS-CFT correspondence, to Chern-Simons AdS gravity. Those anomalies are either gauge anomalies, associated to the AdS gauge group of the theory, or diffeomorphism anomalies, ...
متن کاملUpper limit on gravitational wave backgrounds at 0.2 Hz with a torsion-bar antenna.
We present the first upper limit on gravitational wave (GW) backgrounds at an unexplored frequency of 0.2 Hz using a torsion-bar antenna (TOBA). A TOBA was proposed to search for low-frequency GWs. We have developed a small-scaled TOBA and successfully found Ω(gw)(f)<4.3×10(17) at 0.2 Hz as demonstration of the TOBA's capabilities, where Ω(gw)(f) is the GW energy density per logarithmic frequen...
متن کاملStandard model anomalies in curved space-time with torsion.
Using the Fujikawa and the heat-kernel methods we make a complete and detailed computation of the global, gauge, and gravitational anomalies in the standard model defined on a curved space-time with torsion. We find new contributions coming from the curvature and the torsion to the leptonic number anomaly ~so that B-L is not conserved anymore! to the U~1!Y gauge and to the mixed U~1!Y-gravitati...
متن کاملThe Standard Model Anomalies in Curved Space-time with Torsion
Using the Fujikawa and the heat-kernel methods we make a complete and detailed computation of the global, gauge and gravitational anomalies present in the Standard Model defined on a curved space time with torsion. We find new contributions coming from curvature and torsion terms to the leptonic number anomaly (so that B − L is not conserved any more), to the U(1)Y gauge and to the mixed U(1)Y ...
متن کاملTorsion of cylindrically poroelasic circular shaft with radial inhomogeneity .some exact solutions for extruder
Torsion of elastic and poroelastic circular shaft of radially inhomogeneous, cylindrically orthotropic materials is studied with emphasis on the end effects example for extruder. To examine the conjecture of Saint-Venant’s torsion, we consider torsion of circular shaft with one end fixed and the other end free on which tractions that results in a pure torque are prescribed arbitrarily over the fr...
