Definition of Chern-Simons Terms in Thermal QED_3 Revisited
S. Deser, L. Griguolo, D. Seminara
We present two compact derivations of the correct definition of the Chern-Simons term in the topologically non trivial context of thermal . One is based on a transgression d…
Effective QED Actions: Representations, Gauge Invariance, Anomalies and Mass Expansions
S. Deser, L. Griguolo, D. Seminara
We analyze and give explicit representations for the effective abelian vector gauge field actions generated by charged fermions with particular attention to the thermal regime in o…
Chiral solitons from dimensional reduction of Chern-Simons gauged non-linear Schrödinger model of FQHE: classical and quantum aspects
L. Griguolo, D. Seminara
The soliton structure of a gauge theory recently proposed to describe chiral excitations in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect is investigated. A new type of non-linear derivative…
Gauge Invariance, Finite Temperature and Parity Anomaly in D=3
S. Deser, L. Griguolo, D. Seminara
The effective gauge field actions generated by charged fermions in and can be made invariant under both small and large gauge transformations at any temperature by…
No Cosmological D=11 Supergravity
K. Bautier, S. Deser, M. Henneaux +1
We show, in two complementary ways, that D=11 supergravity---in contrast to all its lower dimensional versions---forbids a cosmological extension. First, we linearize the putative…
