Noether Theorems and Quantum Anomalies

A quantum anomaly is the breaking of symmetry with respect to some transformations after the quantization of a classical Hamiltonian or Lagrangian system. It is shown that both the Noether theorems (including their infinite-dimensional versions) and the ex ...

Anomalies in Scheduling Control Applications and Design Complexity

Amir Aminifar

Today, many control applications in cyberphysical systems are implemented on shared platforms. Such resource sharing may lead to complex timing behaviors and, in turn, instability of control applications. This paper highlights a number of anomalies demonst ...

Scale anomalies, states, and rates in conformal field theory

Marc Gillioz

This paper presents two methods to compute scale anomaly coefficients in conformal field theories (CFTs), such as the c anomaly in four dimensions, in terms of the CFT data. We first use Euclidean position space to show that the anomaly coefficient of a fo ...

Robust Type-II Weyl Semimetal Phase in Transition Metal Diphosphides XP2 (X = Mo, W)

Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes

The recently discovered type-II Weyl points appear at the boundary between electron and hole pockets. Type-II Weyl semimetals that host such points are predicted to exhibit a new type of chiral anomaly and possess thermodynamic properties very different fr ...

Quantum anomalies and logarithmic derivatives of feynman pseudomeasures

Tudor Ratiu

Connections between quantum anomalies and transformations of pseudomeasures of the type of Feynman pseudomeasures are studied. Mathematical objects related to the notion of the volume element in an infinite-dimensional space considered in the physics liter ...

Magnetohydrodynamics of chiral relativistic fluids

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We study the dynamics of a plasma of charged relativistic fermions at very high temperature T >> m, where m is the fermion mass, coupled to the electromagnetic field. In particular, we derive a magnetohydrodynamical description of the evolution of such a p ...

The local RG equation and chiral anomalies

Boaz Keren Zur

We generalize the local renormalization group (RG) equation to theories with chiral anomalies. We find that a new anomaly is required by the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions. Taking into account the new anomaly, the trace of the energy momentum tensor is ...

The dilaton Wess-Zumino action in higher dimensions

Boaz Keren Zur, Florent Baume

We present a general formula for the Wess-Zumino action associated with the Weyl anomaly, given in a curved background for any even number of dimensions. The result is obtained by considering a finite Weyl transformation of counterterms in dimensional regu ...

The alpha-theorem and the asymptotics of 4D quantum field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...

Long-Range Magnetic Fields in the Ground State of the Standard Model Plasma

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

In thermal equilibrium the ground state of the plasma of Standard Model particles is determined by temperature and exactly conserved combinations of baryon and lepton numbers. We show that at nonzero values of the global charges a translation invariant and ...
