Solutions to a Quantal Gravity-Matter Field Theory on a Line
Roman Jackiw
Solutions to a scalar-tensor (dilaton) quantum gravity theory, interacting with quantized matter, are described. Dirac quantization is frustrated by quantal anomalies in the constr…
A Nonrelativistic Chiral Soliton in One Dimension
R. Jackiw
I analyze the one-dimensional, cubic Schrödinger equation, with nonlinearity constructed from the current density, rather than, as is usual, from the charge density. A soliton solu…
Functional Schroedinger and BRST Quantization of (1+1)--Dimensional Gravity
E. Benedict, R. Jackiw, H. -J. Lee
We discuss the quantization of pure string--inspired dilaton--gravity in --dimensions, and of the same theory coupled to scalar matter. We perform the quantization using the…
Gauge Theories in the Momentum/Curvature Representation
Roman Jackiw
The gauge variance of wave functionals for a gauge theory quantized in the momentum (curvature) representation is described. It is shown that a gauge transformation gives rise to a…
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Quantum Field Theory
Roman Jackiw
Quantum field theory offers physicists a tremendously wide range of application; it is both a language with which a vast variety of physical processes can be discussed and also it…
Screening in High-T QCD
Roman Jackiw
These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme co…
