Gauge Consistent Wilson Renormalization Group II: Non-Abelian Case
We give a wilsonian formulation of non-abelian gauge theories explicitly
consistent with axial gauge Ward identitities. The issues of unitarity and
dependence on the quantization direction are carefully investigated. A
wilsonian computation of the one-loop QCD beta function is performed.Comment: 34 pages, 1 eps figure, latex2e. Minor changes, version to appear in

String Organization of Field Theories: Duality and Gauge Invariance
String theories should reduce to ordinary four-dimensional field theories at
low energies. Yet the formulation of the two are so different that such a
connection, if it exists, is not immediately obvious. With the Schwinger
proper-time representation, and the spinor helicity technique, it has been
shown that field theories can indeed be written in a string-like manner, thus
resulting in simplifications in practical calculations, and providing novel
insights into gauge and gravitational theories. This paper continues the study
of string organization of field theories by focusing on the question of local
duality. It is shown that a single expression for the sum of many diagrams can
indeed be written for QED, thereby simulating the duality property in strings.
The relation between a single diagram and the dual sum is somewhat analogous to
the relation between a old- fashioned perturbation diagram and a Feynman
diagram. Dual expressions are particularly significant for gauge theories
because they are gauge invariant while expressions for single diagrams are not.Comment: 20 pages in Latex, including seven figures in postscrip
Renormalization of the N=1 Abelian Super-Chern-Simons Theory Coupled to Parity-Preserving Matter
We analyse the renormalizability of an Abelian N=1 super-Chern-Simons model
coupled to parity-preserving matter on the light of the regularization
independent algebraic method. The model shows to be stable under radiative
corrections and to be gauge anomaly free.Comment: Latex, 7 pages, no figure
Higher-order non-symmetric counterterms in pure Yang-Mills theory
We analyze the restoration of the Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identities for pure
massless Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge within the BPHZL renormalization
scheme with IR regulator. We obtain the most general form of the action-like
part of the symmetric regularized action, obeying the relevant ST identities
and all other relevant symmetries of the model, to all orders in the loop
expansion. We also give a cohomological characterization of the fulfillment of
BPHZL IR power-counting criterion, guaranteeing the existence of the limit
where the IR regulator goes to zero. The technique analyzed in this paper is
needed in the study of the restoration of the ST identities for those models,
like the MSSM, where massless particles are present and no invariant
regularization scheme is known to preserve the full set of ST identities of the
theory.Comment: Final version published in the journa
Novel Bose-Einstein Interference in the Passage of a Fast Particle in a Dense Medium
When an energetic particle collides coherently with many medium particles at
high energies, the Bose-Einstein symmetry with respect to the interchange of
the exchanged virtual bosons leads to a destructive interference of the Feynman
amplitudes in most regions of the phase space but a constructive interference
in some other regions of the phase space. As a consequence, the recoiling
medium particles have a tendency to come out collectively along the direction
of the incident fast particle, each carrying a substantial fraction of the
incident longitudinal momentum. Such an interference appearing as collective
recoils of scatterers along the incident particle direction may have been
observed in angular correlations of hadrons associated with a high-
trigger in high-energy AuAu collisions at RHIC.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, invited talk presented at the 35th Symposium on

Superrelativity as a unification of quantum theory and relativity(II)
A underlying dynamical structure for both relativity and quantum
theory-``superrelativity'' has been proposed in order to overcome the well
known incompatibility between these theories. The relationship between
curvature of spacetime (gravity) and curvature of the projective Hilbert space
of pure quantum states is established as well.Comment: 6 pages,LaTeX,In the Abstract ``proposed on order'' should be read as
