Anomaly cancellation in effective supergravity from the heterotic string with an anomalous U(1)

Mary K. Gaillard, Jacob Leedom

We show that a choice of Pauli-Villars regulators allows the cancellation of all conformal and chiral anomalies in an effective field theory from Z_3 compactification of the hetero…

Color Unifed Dynamical Axion

M. K. Gaillard, M. B. Gavela, R. Houtz +2

We consider an enlarged color sector which solves the strong CP problem via new massless fermions. The spontaneous breaking of a unified color group into QCD and another confining…

Anomaly cancellation in effective supergravity theories from the heterotic string: two simple examples

Mary K. Gaillard, Jacob Leedom

We use Pauli-Villars regularization to evaluate the conformal and chiral anomalies in the effective field theories from Z3 and Z7 compactifications of the heterotic string without…

Quantum supergravity, supergravity anomalies and string phenomenology

Mary K Gaillard

I discuss the role of quantum effects in the phenomenology of effective supergravity theories from compactification of the weakly coupled heterotic string. An accurate incorporatio…

An Updated Historical Profile of the Higgs Boson

John Ellis, Mary K. Gaillard, Dimitri V. Nanopoulos

The Higgs boson was postulated in 1964, and phenomenological studies of its possible production and decays started in the early 1970s, followed by studies of its possible productio…

The Anomaly Structure of Regularized Supergravity

Daniel Butter, Mary K. Gaillard

On-shell Pauli-Villars regularization of the one-loop divergences of supergravity theories is used to study the anomaly structure of supergravity and the cancellation of field theo…
