New Setting for Spontaneous Gauge Symmetry Breaking?
R. Jackiw, S. Y. Pi
Over half century ago Carl Brans participated in the construction of a viable deformation of the Einstein gravity theory. Their suggestion involves expanding the tensor-based theor…
Conformal Blocks for the 4-Point Function in Conformal Quantum Mechanics
R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi
Extending previous work on 2 -- and 3 -- point functions, we study the 4 -- point function and its conformal block structure in conformal quantum mechanics CFT, which realizes…
Conformal quantum mechanics as the CFT dual to AdS
C. Chamon, R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi +1
A 0+1-dimensional candidate theory for the CFT dual to AdS is discussed. The quantum mechanical system does not have a ground state that is invariant under the three genera…
Electron fractionalization for two-dimensional Dirac fermions
Claudio Chamon, Chang-Yu Hou, Roman Jackiw +3
Fermion-number fractionalization without breaking of time-reversal symmetry was recently demonstrated for a field theory in -dimensional space and time that describes the co…
Topological Mass Generation in Four Dimensions
Gia Dvali, R. Jackiw, So - Young Pi
Schwinger's mechanism for mass generation relies on topological structures of a 2-dimensional gauge theory. In the same manner, corresponding 4-dimensional topological entities giv…
Quantum Relaxation of the Cosmological Constant
R. Jackiw, Carlos Nunez, S. -Y. Pi
We describe a mechanism that drives the Cosmological Constant to zero value. This mechanism is based on the quantum triviality of field theory and works in space. Some…
