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.
Description of Vorticity by Grassmann Variables and an Extension to Supersymmetry
R. Jackiw
In this paper, particle physics concepts are blended into a field theory for macroscopic phenomena: Fluid mechanics is enhanced by anticommuting Grassmann variables to describe vor…
A Particle Field Theorist's Lectures on Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian Fluid Mechanics and d-Branes
R. Jackiw
This monograph is derived from a series of six lectures I gave at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques in Montreal, in March and June 2000, while titulary of the Aisenstadt Chair…
One Hundred Years of Quantum Physics
Daniel Kleppner, Roman Jackiw
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the quantum idea, the development, achievements, and promises of quantum mechanics are described.
Clebsch (String) Parameterization of 3-Vectors and Their Actions
S. Deser, R. Jackiw, A. P. Polychronakos
We discuss some properties of the intrinsically nonlinear Clebsch decomposition of a vector field into three scalars in d=3. In particular, we note and account for the incompletene…
