On a New Method for Computing Trace Anomalies

Fiorenzo Bastianelli

I describe a new method for computing trace anomalies in quantum field theories which makes use of path-integrals for particles moving in curved spaces. After presenting the main i…

Classical and Quantized Tensionless Strings

J. Isberg, U. Lindström, B. Sundborg +1

{}From the ordinary tensile string we derive a geometric action for the tensionless () string and discuss its symmetries and field equations. The Weyl symmetry of the usual st…

The statistics transmuting Chern-Simons field and the braid group on Riemann surfaces of genus g>0

Ansar Fayyazuddin

We study bosons interacting with an abelian Chern-Simons field on Riemann surfaces of genus . It is shown that a singular gauge transformation brings the hamiltonian to free f…

On Functional Determinants of Laplacians in Polygons and Simplices

Erik Aurell, Per Salomonson

The functional determinant of an elliptic operator with positive, discrete spectrum may be defined as , where , the zeta function, is the sum $\sum_n^{\infty} λ_n…

Two-Dimensional QCD at Infinite N and Finite T

T. H. Hansson, I. Zahed

We analyze two-dimensional large QCD at finite temperature and show explicitly that the free energy has the correct dependence.

From the Superparticle Path Integral to Superfield Theory

Johan Grundberg, Ulf Lindström

We investigate the hitherto unexplored relation between the superparticle path integral and superfield theory. Requiring that the path integral has the global symmetries of the cla…

The Zero Tension Limit of Strings and Superstrings

Ulf Lindström

The string equivalent of a massless particle () is the tensionless string (). The study of such strings is of interest when trying to understand the high energy limit of…

Exact Ground State Wave Functions for N Anyons in a Magnetic Field on a Torus

Ansar Fayyazuddin

The complete set of ground state wave functions for N anyons in an external magnetic field on the torus is found. The cases when the filling factor is less than or equal to one are…

Induced Chiral Supergravities in 2D

Fiorenzo Bastianelli, Ulf Lindstrom

We analyze actions for 2D supergravities induced by chiral conformal supermatter. The latter may be thought as described at the classical level by superspace actions invariant unde…

The Calogero Model - Anyonic Representation, Fermionic Extension and Supersymmetry

L. Brink, T. H. Hansson, S. Konstein +1

We discuss several applications and extensions of our previous operator solution of the -body Calogero problem, \ie N particles in 1 dimension subject to a two-body interaction…

On the origin of multi-component anyon wave functions

Ansar Fayyazuddin

In this paper I discuss how the component structure of anyon wave functions arises in theories with non-relativistic matter coupled to a Chern-Simons gauge field on the torus. It i…
