’t Hooft anomalies and boundaries

Journal Article Jensen, Kristan ; Shaverin, Evgeny ; Yarom, Amos - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We argue that there is an obstruction to placing theories with ’t Hooft anomalies on manifolds with a boundary, unless the symmetry associated with the anomaly can be represented as a non-invariance under an Abelian transformation. For a two dimensional conformal field theory we further demonstrate that all anomalies except the usual trace anomaly are incompatible on a manifold with a boundary. Our findings extend a known result whereby, under mild assumptions, Lagrangian theories with chiral matter cannot be canonically quantized.

RECONCILIATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL (CROSS-GRATING) AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHENOMENA IN ELECTRON DIFFRACTION AND RESOLUTION OF OTHER ANOMALIES ON THE BASIS OF BRAGG REFLEXIONS FROM SINGLE CRYSTAL LAMELLAE SUFFERING RADIALLY PROGRESSIVE SHEAR STRAIN

Journal Article Cuckow, F W - Proc. Roy. Soc. (London)

An intricate repetitive fringe pattern, due to the loss of electrons by diffraction from a crystal lamella, was explained earlier in terms of a crystal model in a state of progressive shear strain in which the primitive translations of successive net-planes changed progressively through the thickness of the layer. The electron diffraction pattern to be expected from this threedimensional model is now shown theoretically to be identical geometrically with the diffraction pattern from the two-dimensional array of atoms in a single constituent net-plane comprising a cross-grating, so that the model offers also a simple explanation of twodimensional ( cross-grating,) diffractionmore »« less

Higher derivative terms, toroidal compactification, and Weyl anomalies in six-dimensional (2, 0) theories

Journal Article Córdova, Clay ; Dumitrescu, Thomas T. ; Yin, Xi - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We systematically analyze the effective action on the moduli space of (2,0) superconformal field theories in six dimensions, as well as their toroidal compactification to maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in five and four dimensions. We present a streamlined approach to non-renormalization theorems that constrain this effective action. The first several orders in its derivative expansion are determined by a one-loop calculation in five-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This fixes the leading higher-derivative operators that describe the renormalization group flow into theories residing at singular points on the moduli space of the compactified (2,0) theories. This understanding allows us to compute the a-typemore »« less

Doubling theorem and boundary states of five-dimensional Weyl semimetal

Journal Article Chen, Jing-Yuan ; Lian, Biao ; Zhang, Shou-Cheng - Physical Review B

We study the generic band structures of the five-dimensional (5D) Weyl semimetal, in which the band degeneracies are 2D Weyl surfaces in the momentum space, and may have nontrivial linkings with each other if they carry nonzero second Chern numbers. We prove a number of theorems constraining the topological linking configurations of the Weyl surfaces, which can be viewed as a 5D generalization of the celebrated doubling theorem for 3D Weyl semimetal. As a direct physical consequence of these constraints, the 5D Weyl semimetal hosts a rich structure of topological boundary states. We show that on the 4D boundary ofmore »« less

Residual entropy and waterlike anomalies in the repulsive one dimensional lattice gas

Journal Article Silva, Fernando Barbosa V. da ; Instituto Federal de Brasília, Campus São Sebastião, São Sebastião-DF ; Oliveira, Fernando Albuquerque, E-mail: fao@fis.unb.br ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The thermodynamics and kinetics of the one dimensional lattice gas with repulsive interaction are investigated using transfer matrix technique and Monte Carlo simulations. This simple model is shown to exhibit waterlike anomalies in density, thermal expansion coefficient, and self-diffusion. An unified description for the thermodynamic anomalies in this model is achieved based on the ground state residual entropy which appears in the model due to mixing entropy in a ground state phase transition.
