Topological Aspects of Gauge Theories
R. Jackiw
To appear in Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, published by Elsevier in early 2006. Comments/corrections welcome. The article surveys topological aspects in gauge theories.
Inserting Group Variables into Fluid Mechanics
R. Jackiw
A fluid, like a quark-gluon plasma, may possess degrees of freedom indexed by a group variable, which retains its identity even in the fluid/continuum description. Conventional Eul…
Collaborating with David Gross; Descendants of the Chiral Anomaly
R. Jackiw
I recall my collaboration with David Gross. A result about descendants of the chiral anomaly is presented: Chern-Simons terms can be written as total derivatives.
Descendants of the Chiral Anomaly
R. Jackiw
Chern-Simons terms are well-known descendants of chiral anomalies, when the latter are presented as total derivatives. Here I explain that also Chern-Simons terms, when defined on…
John Bell's Observations on the Chiral Anomaly and Some Properties of Its Descendants
R. Jackiw
John Bell's emphasis of the essential ambiguities in anomaly calculations is recalled. Some descendants of the anomaly are reviewed.
Effects of Dirac's Negative Energy Sea on Quantum Numbers
R. Jackiw
One route towards understanding both fractional charges and chiral anomalies delves into Dirac's negative energy sea. Usually we think of Dirac's negative energy sea as an unphysic…
