Creation and evolution of magnetic helicity
R. Jackiw, So-Young Pi
Projecting a non-Abelian SU(2) vacuum gauge field - a pure gauge constructed from the group element U - onto a fixed (electromagnetic) direction in isospace gives rise to a nontriv…
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…
When radiative corrections are finite but undetermined
R. Jackiw
In quantum field theory radiative corrections can be finite but undetermined.
Higher Derivative Chern--Simons Extensions
S. Deser, R. Jackiw
We study the higher-derivative extensions of the D=3 Abelian Chern--Simons topological invariant that would appear in a perturbative effective action's momentum expansion. The lead…
Radiatively Induced Lorentz and CPT Violation in Electrodynamics
Roman Jackiw, Alan Kostelecky
In a nonperturbative formulation, radiative corrections arising from Lorentz and CPT violation in the fermion sector induce a definite and nonzero Chern-Simons addition to the elec…
