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…
Canonical Analysis of the First Order Form of Topologically Massive Electrodynamics
R. N. Ghalati, N. Kiriushcheva, S. V. Kuzmin +1
The first order form of a three dimensional U(1) gauge theory in which a gauge invariant mass term appears is analyzed using the Dirac procedure. The form of the gauge transformati…
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…
