The Chern-Simons Diffusion Rate in Improved Holographic QCD
Umut Gursoy, Ioannis Iatrakis, Elias Kiritsis +2
In (3+1)-dimensional SU(Nc) Yang-Mills (YM) theory, the Chern-Simons diffusion rate, Gamma_{CS}, is determined by the zero-momentum, zero-frequency limit of the retarded two-point…

Scalar-tensor theories, trace anomalies and the QCD-frame
Francesco Nitti, Federico Piazza
We consider the quantum effects of matter fields in scalar-tensor theories and clarify the role of trace anomaly when switching between conformally related `frames'. We exploit the…
