Non invariant zeta-function regularization in quantum Liouville theory

Pietro Menotti

We consider two possible zeta-function regularization schemes of quantum Liouville theory. One refers to the Laplace-Beltrami operator covariant under conformal transformations, th…

Non-Abelian duality from vortex moduli: a dual model of color-confinement

Minoru Eto, Luca Ferretti, Kenichi Konishi +5

It is argued that the dual transformation of non-Abelian monopoles occurring in a system with gauge symmetry breaking G -> H is to be defined by setting the low-energy H system in…

Bosonization and Scale Invariance on Quantum Wires

B. Bellazzini, M. Mintchev, P. Sorba

We develop a systematic approach to bosonization and vertex algebras on quantum wires of the form of star graphs. The related bosonic fields propagate freely in the bulk of the gra…

Universal Reconnection of Non-Abelian Cosmic Strings

Minoru Eto, Koji Hashimoto, Giacomo Marmorini +3

We show that local/semilocal strings in Abelian/non-Abelian gauge theories with critical couplings always reconnect classically in collision, by using moduli space approximation. T…

Non-Abelian Vortices of Higher Winding Numbers

Minoru Eto, Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini +4

We make a detailed study of the moduli space of winding number two (k=2) axially symmetric vortices (or equivalently, of co-axial composite of two fundamental vortices), occurring…

Quantum Fields on Star Graphs

B. Bellazzini, M. Mintchev

We construct canonical quantum fields which propagate on a star graph modeling a quantum wire. The construction uses a deformation of the algebra of canonical commutation relations…

Renormalization and causality violations in classical gravity coupled with quantum matter

Damiano Anselmi

I prove that classical gravity coupled with quantized matter can be renormalized with a finite number of independent couplings, plus field redefinitions, without introducing higher…

Liouville field theory with heavy charges. II. The conformal boundary case

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We develop a general technique for computing functional integrals with fixed area and boundary length constraints. The correct quantum dimensions for the vertex functions are recov…

Liouville field theory with heavy charges. I. The pseudosphere

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We work out the perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere starting from the semiclassical limit of a background generated by heavy charges. By solving…
