Partition function on spheres: How to use zeta function regularization

Alexander Monin

It is known that not all summation methods are linear and stable. Zeta function regularization is in general nonlinear. However, in some cases formal manipulations with zeta function regularization (assuming linearity of sums) lead to correct results. We c ...

Weyl and Ricci gauging from the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...

Perturbative conformal symmetry and dilaton

Alexander Monin, Frédéric Gretsch

Spontaneous symmetry breaking with necessity leads to the presence of Goldstone field(s). In the case of scale or conformal symmetries the corresponding Goldstone mode is called the dilaton. Consistently coupling a system to the dilaton poses certain diffi ...

(Re-)inventing the relativistic wheel: gravity, cosets, and spinning objects

Francesco Riva, Alexander Monin, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

Space-time symmetries are a crucial ingredient of any theoretical model in physics. Unlike internal symmetries, which may or may not be gauged and/or spontaneously broken, space-time symmetries do not admit any ambiguity: they are gauged by gravity, and an ...

General coordinate invariance in quantum many-body systems

Alexander Monin, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in Galilei-invariant systems. The peculiar transformation rules for the backgrou ...

On the effective operators for Dark Matter annihilations

Alexander Monin, Andrea De Simone, Andrea Thamm

We consider effective operators describing Dark Matter (DM) interactions with Standard Model fermions. In the non-relativistic limit of the DM field, the operators can be organized according to their mass dimension and their velocity behaviour, i.e. whethe ...

Spontaneously broken scale invariance and minimal fields of canonical dimensionality

Alexander Monin, Mikhail Chapochnikov

We address the question whether a scale invariant theory can contain interacting minimal fields of canonical dimensionality. It is known that the answer to this question is negative provided the scale symmetry is respected by the ground state. We present a ...

Spontaneously broken conformal symmetry: dealing with the trace anomaly

Alexander Monin, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Roberta Armillis

The majority of renormalizable field theories possessing the scale invariance at the classical level exhibits the trace anomaly once quantum corrections are taken into account. This leads to the breaking of scale and conformal invariance. At the same time ...

Cecotti-Fendley-Intriligator-Vafa index in a box

Alexander Monin

The Cecotti-Fendley-Intriligator-Vafa (CFIV) index in two-dimensional N = (2,2) models is revisited. We address the problem of "elementary" (nontopological) excitations over a kink solution, in the one-kink sector (using the Wess-Zumino or Landau-Ginzburg ...
