Finite temperature induced fermion number
Gerald V. Dunne
The induced fractional fermion number at zero temperature is topological (in the sense that it is only sensitive to global asymptotic properties of the background field), and is a…
Non-Abelian Thermal Large Gauge Transformations in 2+1 Dimensions
F. T. Brandt, Ashok Das, Gerald V. Dunne +2
We discuss several different constructions of non-Abelian large gauge transformations at finite temperature. Pisarski's ansatz with even winding number is related to Hopf mappings,…
Closed-form two-loop Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian in a self-dual background
Gerald V. Dunne, Christian Schubert
We show that the two-loop Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian for scalar QED in a constant Euclidean self-dual background has a simple explicit closed form expression in terms of…
Parity Violating Bosonic Loops at Finite Temperature
V. S. Alves, Ashok Das, Gerald V. Dunne +1
The finite temperature parity-violating contributions to the polarization tensor are computed at one loop in a system without fermions. The system studied is a Maxwell-Chern-Simons…
Chiral Extrapolation: An Analogy with Effective Field Theory
Gerald V. Dunne, Anthony W. Thomas, Stewart V. Wright
We draw an analogy between the chiral extrapolation of lattice QCD calculations from large to small quark masses and the interpolation between the large mass (weak field) and small…
Thermal Fluctuations of Induced Fermion Number
Gerald V. Dunne, Kumar Rao
We analyze the phemomenon of induced fermion number at finite temperature. At finite temperature, the induced fermion number is a thermal expectation value, and we compute th…
