T-duality and Effective D-Brane Actions

Joan Simón

T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the Dirac-Born-Infeld and Wess-Zumino…

Dynamical symmetry breaking in Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model under the influence of external electromagnetic and gravitational fields

E. Elizalde, Yu. I. Shil'nov

Dynamical symmetry breaking is investigated for a four-fermion Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in external electromagnetic and gravitational fields. An effective potential is calculated i…

On General Axial Gauges for QCD

Daniel F. Litim, Jan M. Pawlowski

General Axial Gauges within a perturbative approach to QCD are plagued by 'spurious' propagator singularities. Their regularisation has to face major conceptual and technical probl…

On Gauge Invariance and Ward Identities for the Wilsonian Renormalisation Group

Daniel F. Litim, Jan M. Pawlowski

We investigate non-Abelian gauge theories within a Wilsonian Renormalisation Group approach. The cut-off term inherent in this approach leads to a modified Ward identity (mWI). It…

Infinitely many rigid symmetries of kappa-invariant D-string actions

Friedemann Brandt, Joaquim Gomis, David Mateos +1

We show that each rigid symmetry of a D-string action is contained in a family of infinitely many symmetries. In particular, kappa-invariant D-string actions have infinitely many s…

Dynamical Lorentz simmetry breaking from 3+1 Axion-Wess-Zumino model

A. A. Andrianov, R. Soldati, L. Sorbo

We study the renormalizable abelian vector-field models in the presence of the Wess-Zumino interaction with the pseudoscalar matter. The renormalizability is achieved by supplement…

A proof of the irreversibility of renormalization group flows in four dimensions

Stefano Forte, Jose I. Latorre

We present a proof of the irreversibility of renormalization group flows, i.e. the c-theorem for unitary, renormalizable theories in four (or generally even) dimensions. Using Ward…

Applications in physics of the multiplicative anomaly formula involving some basic differential operators

Emilio Elizalde, Guido Cognola, Sergio Zerbini

In the framework leading to the multiplicative anomaly formula ---which is here proven to be valid even in cases of known spectrum but non-compact manifold (very important in Physi…

Duality Symmetry in Softly Broken N=2 Gauge Theories

Marcos Marino, Frederic Zamora

We study the soft breaking of N=2 self-dual gauge theories down to N=0 by promoting the coupling constant and hypermultiplet masses to spurions, and we analyze the microscopic dual…

Faddeev-Jackiw approach to gauge theories and ineffective constraints

J. Antonio García, Josep M. Pons

The general conditions for the applicability of the Faddeev-Jackiw approach to gauge theories are studied. When the constraints are effective a new proof in the Lagrangian framewor…

Brane-Intersection Dynamics from Branes in Brane Backgrounds

Joaquim Gomis, David Mateos, Joan Simón +1

We derive the dynamics of M-brane intersections from the worldvolume action of one brane in the background supergravity solution of another one. In this way we obtain an effective…

D-string on near horizon geometries and infinite conformal symmetry

Friedemann Brandt, Joaquim Gomis, Joan Simón

We show that the symmetries of effective D-string actions in constant dilaton backgrounds are directly related to homothetic motions of the background metric. In presence of such m…

Flow Equations for Yang-Mills Theories in General Axial Gauges

Daniel F. Litim, Jan M. Pawlowski

We present a formulation of non-Abelian gauge theories in general axial gauges using a Wilsonian (or 'Exact') Renormalisation Group. No 'spurious' propagator divergencies are encou…

Gauged Supergravity Vacua From Intersecting Branes

P. M. Cowdall, P. K. Townsend

Domain wall and electrovac solutions of gauged N=4 D=4 supergravity, with gauge group SU(2) or SU(2)xSU(2), are interpreted as supersymmetric Kaluza-Klein vacua of N=1 D=10 supergr…
