What's Wrong with Anomalous Chiral Gauge Theory?
It is argued on general ground and demonstrated in the particular example of the Chiral Schwinger Model that there is nothing wrong with apparently anomalous chiral gauge theory. If quantised correctly, there should be no gauge anomaly and chiral gauge theory should be renormalisable and unitary, even in higher dimensi...

Interaction of Low - Energy Induced Gravity with Quantized Matter and Phase Transition Induced by Curvature
At high energy scale the only quantum effect of any asymptotic free and asymptotically conformal invariant GUT is the trace anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor. Anomaly generates the new degree of freedom, that is propagating conformal factor. At lower energies conformal factor starts to interact with scalar field be...

Chiral Rings Do Not Suffice: N=(2,2) Theories with Nonzero Fundamental Group
The Kahler moduli space of a particular non-simply-connected Calabi-Yau manifold is mapped out using mirror symmetry. It is found that, for the model considered, the chiral ring may be identical for different associated conformal field theories. This ambiguity is explained in terms of both A-model and B-model language....

Some cosmological consequences of including the adequate conserved quantities in the density matrix of the electroweak theory are investigated. Several arguments against including the charges associated to the spontaneously broken symmetry are presented. Special attention is focused on the phenomenon of $W$-boson conde...

Induced Connections in Field Theory: The Odd Dimensional Yang-Mills Case
We consider SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in 2n+1 Euclidean dimensions coupled to an even flavour-number of Dirac fermions. After integrating out the fermions the wave functional for the effective Yang-Mills theory inherits a non-trivial U(1)-connection which is computed in the limit of infinite fermion mass (adiabatic con...
