Quantum gravity as Escher's dragon
A. V. Smilga
The main obstacle in attempts to construct a consistent quantum gravity is the absence of independent flat time. This can in principle be cured by going out to higher dimensions. T…
Effective Lagrangians for (0+1) and (1+1) dimensionally reduced versions of D=4 N=2 SYM theory
A. V. Smilga
We consider dimensionally reduced versions of N=2 four- dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and determine the one-loop effective Lagrangians associated with the motion ove…
Abelian matrix models in two loops
A. V. Smilga
We perform a two-loop calculation of the effective Lagrangian for the low--energy modes of the quantum mechanical system obtained by dimensional reduction from 4D, N = 1 supersymme…
On the relation between effective supersymmetric actions in different dimensions
E. T. Akhmedov, A. V. Smilga
We make two remarks: (i) Renormalization of the effective charge in a 4--dimensional (supersymmetric) gauge theory is determined by the same graphs and is rigidly connected to the…
Born--Oppenheimer corrections to the effective zero-mode Hamiltonian in SYM theory
A. V. Smilga
We calculate the subleading terms in the Born--Oppenheimer expansion for the effective zero-mode Hamiltonian of N = 1, d=4 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory with any gauge group. T…
