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 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…
Canonical analysis of cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
D. Grumiller, R. Jackiw, N. Johansson
Wolfgang Kummer was a pioneer of two-dimensional gravity and a strong advocate of the first order formulation in terms of Cartan variables. In the present work we apply Wolfgang Ku…
Topologically massive gravity and complex Chern-Simons terms
D. Grumiller, R. Jackiw
This paper is withdrawn because its results have been previously reported in arxiv hep-th/0507200.
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…
Challenges to Path Integral Formulations of Quantum Theories
R. Jackiw
The functional integral has many triumphs in elucidating quantum theory. But incorporating charge fractionalization into that formalism remains a challenge.
