Three Dimensional Gross-Neveu Model on Curved Spaces

Gennaro Miele, Patrizia Vitale

The large N limit of the 3-d Gross-Neveu model is here studied on manifolds with positive and negative constant curvature. Using the -function regularization we analyze the crit…

Heat-kernel Coefficients and Spectra of the Vector Laplacians on Spherical Domains with Conical Singularities

Lara De Nardo, Dmitri V. Fursaev, Gennaro Miele

The spherical domains with conical singularities are a convenient arena for studying the properties of tensor Laplacians on arbitrary manifolds with such a kind of singular…

Axial Gauge in Euclidean Quantum Gravity

Ivan G. Avramidi, Giampiero Esposito, Alexander Yu. Kamenshchik

The axial gauge is applied to the analysis of Euclidean quantum gravity on manifolds with boundary. A set of boundary conditions which are completely invariant under infinitesimal…

Fermion Hilbert Space and Fermion Doubling in the Noncommutative Geometry Approach to Gauge Theories

F. Lizzi, G. Mangano, G. Miele +1

In this paper we study the structure of the Hilbert space for the recent noncommutative geometry models of gauge theories. We point out the presence of unphysical degrees of freedo…

Quantized Maxwell Theory in a Conformally Invariant Gauge

Giampiero Esposito

Maxwell theory can be studied in a gauge which is invariant under conformal rescalings of the metric, and first proposed by Eastwood and Singer. This paper studies the correspondin…

Non-Local Boundary Conditions for Massless Spin-1/2 Fields

Giampiero Esposito

This paper studies the 1-loop approximation for a massless spin-1/2 field on a flat four-dimensional Euclidean background bounded by two concentric 3-spheres, when non-local bounda…

Cones, Spins and Heat Kernels

Dmitri V. Fursaev, Gennaro Miele

The heat kernels of Laplacians for spin 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 fields, and the asymptotic expansion of their traces are studied on manifolds with conical singularities. The exact mode-b…
