Canonical Formulation of A Bosonic Matter Field in 1+1 Dimensional Curved Space
R. N. Ghalati, D. G. C. McKeon, T. N. Sherry
We study a Bosonic scalar in 1+1 dimensional curved space that is coupled to a dynamical metric field. This metric, along with the affine connection, also appears in the Einstein-H…
Tensor Self Energy in a Vector-Tensor Model
A. Buchel, F. A. Chishtie, M. Gagne-Portelance +2
The tensor self energy is computed at one loop order in a model in which a vector and tensor interact in a way that eliminates all tensor degrees of freedom. Divergencies arise whi…
The shear viscosity of gauge theory plasma with chemical potentials
Paolo Benincasa, Alex Buchel, Roman Naryshkin
We consider strongly coupled gauge theory plasma with conserved global charges that allow for a dual gravitational description. We study the shear viscosity of the gauge theory pla…
A Canonical Analysis of the Einstein-Hilbert Action in First Order Form
N. Kiriushcheva, S. V. Kuzmin, D. G. C. McKeon
Using the Dirac constraint formalism, we examine the canonical structure of the Einstein-Hilbert action , treating the metric a…
On the Standard Approach to Renormalization Group Improvement
F. A. Chishtie, V. Elias, R. B. Mann +2
Two approaches to renormalization-group improvement are examined: the substitution of the solutions of running couplings, masses and fields into perturbatively computed quantities…
Dynamical stabilization of runaway potentials at finite density
Alex Buchel, Junji Jia, V. A. Miransky
We study four dimensional non-abelian gauge theories with classical moduli. Introducing a chemical potential for a flavor charge causes moduli to become unstable and start condensi…
