Dynamical measure and field theory models free of the cosmological constant problem

EI Guendelman, AB Kaganovich - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We study field theory models in the context of a gravitational theory without the cosmological
constant problem (CCP). The theory is based on the requirement that the measure of …

Revealing tensor monopoles through quantum-metric measurements

G Palumbo, N Goldman - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
Monopoles are intriguing topological objects, which play a central role in gauge theories
and topological states of matter. While conventional monopoles are found in odd …

Strings and branes with a modified measure

EI Guendelman - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
In string theory, the consequences of replacing the measure of integration (-γ) 1/2 d 2 x in
the Polyakov action by Φ d 2 x, where Φ is a density built out of degrees of freedom …

Tensor Berry connections and their topological invariants

G Palumbo, N Goldman - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
The Berry connection plays a central role in our description of the geometric phase and
topological phenomena. In condensed matter, it describes the parallel transport of Bloch …

Superstrings and superbranes with a modified measure

EI Guendelman - Physical Review D, 2001 - APS
For superstrings, the consequences of replacing the measure of integration− γ d 2 x in the
Polyakov's action by Φ d 2 x, where Φ is a density built out of degrees of freedom …

Scale symmetry breaking from the dynamics of maximal rank gauge field strengths

EI Guendelman - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2004 - World Scientific
Scale invariant theories which contain maximal rank gauge field strengths (of D indices in D
dimensions) are studied. The integration of the equations of motion of these gauge fields …

Magnetic condensation, non trivial gauge dynamics and confinement in a 6-D model

EI Guendelman - Physics Letters B, 1997 - Elsevier
A six dimensional model describing the interaction of gravity with gauge fields whose
dynamics is consistent with redefinitions of the measure of integration in the action is …

Scale symmetry spontaneously broken by asymptotic behaviour

EI Guendelman - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
Conserved quantities are obtained and analysed using new recently proposed models with
global scale invariance. Such models allow for non-trivial scalar field potentials and masses …

Hints of a new relativity principle from p-brane quantum mechanics

C Castro - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2000 - Elsevier
This report is an extension of a previous one hep-th/9812189. Several quantum mechanical
wave equations for p-branes are proposed. The most relevant p-brane quantum mechanical …

Beyond strings, multiple times and gauge theories of area-scalings relativistic transformations

C Castro - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 1999 - Elsevier
Nottale's special scale-relativity principle was proposed earlier by the author as a plausible
geometrical origin to string theory and extended objects. Scale relativity is to scales what …
