On-shell two-loop three-gluon vertex
1998
The two-loop three-gluon vertex is calculated in an arbitrary covariant gauge, in the limit when two of the gluons are on the mass shell. The corresponding two-loop results for the ghost-gluon vertex are also obtained. It is shown that the results are consistent with the Ward-Slavnov-Taylor identities.
Form factors for semileptonic, nonleptonic, and rareB(Bs)meson decays
2012
We provide new values for the model parameters of the covariant constituent quark model (with built–in infrared confinement) in the meson sector by a fit to the leptonic decay constants and a number of electromagnetic decays. We then evaluate, in a parameter-free way, the form factors of the B(Bs) ! P(V ) transitions in the full kinematical region of momentum transfer. As an application of our results we calculate the widths of the nonleptonic Bs-decays into Ds D + , D � s D + s +D s D � + s
A new technique for computing the spectral density of sunset-type diagrams: integral transformation in configuration space
1998
We present a new method to investigate a class of diagrams which generalizes the sunset topology to any number of massive internal lines. Our attention is focused on the computation of the spectral density of these diagrams which is related to many-body phase space in $D$ dimensional space-time. The spectral density is determined by the inverse $K$-transform of the product of propagators in configuration space. The inverse $K$-transform reduces to the inverse Laplace transform in any odd number of space-time dimensions for which we present an explicit analytical result.
Generalized parton distributions of the pion in a Bethe Salpeter approach
2004
We calculate generalized parton distribution functions in a field theoretic formalism using a covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach for the determination of the bound-state wave function. We describe the procedure in an exact calculation in scalar Electrodynamics proving that the relevant corrections outside our scheme vanish. We extend the formalism to the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, a realistic theory of the pion. We go in both cases beyond all previous calculations and discover that all important features required by general physical considerations, like symmetry properties, sum rules and the polynomiality condition, are explicitly verified. We perform a numerical study of their behavior in t…
Vector supersymmetry in the universal bundle
1991
Abstract We present a vector supersymmetry for Witten-type topological gauge theories, and examine its algebra in terms of a superconnection formalism. When covariant constraints on the supercurvature are chosen, a correspondence is established with the universal bundle construction of Atiyah and Singer. The vector supersymmetry represents a certain shift operator in the curvature of the universal bundle, and can be used to generate the hierarchy of observables in these theories. This formalism should lead to the construction of vector supergravity theories, and perhaps to the gravitational analogue of the universal bundle.
Heavy-to-light semileptonic decays ofΛbandΛcbaryons in the covariant confined quark model
2014
We present a detailed analysis of the heavy-to-light semileptonic decays of theb andc baryons �b → pl ¯ νl andc → nl + νl in the covariant confined quark model. We calculate the invariant and helicity amplitudes of the two processes which are then used to analyze their angular decay distributions, their rates and asymmetry parameters.
Structure analysis of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude at low energies
1998
We analyze virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon at low energies in a covariant, model-independent formalism. We define a set of invariant functions which, once the irregular nucleon pole terms have been subtracted in a gauge-invariant fashion, is free of poles and kinematical zeros. The covariant treatment naturally allows one to implement the constraints due to Lorentz and gauge invariance, crossing symmetry, and the discrete symmetries. In particular, when applied to the $ep\to e'p'\gamma$ reaction, charge-conjugation symmetry in combination with nucleon crossing generates four relations among the ten originally proposed generalized polarizabilities of the nucleon.
Photon Scattering with the Lorentz Integral Transform Method
2011
The application of the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) method to photon scattering off nuclei is presented in general. As an example, elastic photon scattering off the deuteron in the unretarded dipole approximation is considered using the LIT method. The inversion of the integral transform is discussed in detail paying particular attention to the high-energy contributions in the resonance term. The obtained E1-polarizabilities are compared to results from the literature. The corresponding theoretical cross section is confronted with experimental results confirming, as already known from previous studies, that the E1-contribution is the most important one at lower energies.
Covariant phase-space quantization of the induced 2D gravity
1993
Abstract We study in a parallel way the induced 2D gravity and the Jackiw-Teitelboimmodel on the cylinder from the viewpoint of the covariant description of canonical formalism. We compute explicity thhe symplectic structure of both theories showing that their (reduced) phase spaces are finite-dimensional cotangent bundles. For the Jackiw-Teitelboim model the base space (configuration space) is the space of conjugacy classes of the PSL(2, R ) group. For the induced 2D gravity, and Λ > 0, the (reduced) phase space consist of two (identical) connected components each one isomorphic to the contangent bundle of the space of hyperbolic conjugacy classes of the PSL (2, R ) group, whereas for Λ R …
