    We derive an exact equation for simple self non-intersecting Wilson loops in non-abelian gauge theories with gauge fields interacting with fermions in 2-dimensional Euclidean space

    Some comments on the divergence of perturbation series in Quantum Eletrodynamics

    It has been argued by Dyson that the perturbation series in coupling constant in QED can not be convergent. We find that similiar albeit slightly different arguments lead to the divergence of the series of 1/Nf1/N_f expansion in QED.Comment: Final Version, To appear in Modern Physics Letters

    Proposal for an experiment to search for Randall-Sundrum type corrections to Newton's law of gravitation

    Full text link
    String theory, as well as the string inspired brane-world models such as the Randall-Sundrum (RS) one, suggest a modification of Newton's law of gravitation at small distance scales. Search for modifications of standard gravity is an active field of research in this context. It is well known that short range corrections to gravity would violate the Newton-Birkhoff theorem. Based on calculations of RS type non-Newtonian forces for finite size spherical bodies, we propose a torsion balance based experiment to search for the effects of violation of this celebrated theorem valid in Newtonian gravity as well as the general theory of relativity. We explain the main principle behind the experiment and provide detailed calculations suggesting optimum values of the parameters of the experiment. The projected sensitivity is sufficient to probe the Randall-Sundrum parameter up to 10 microns.Comment: 4 pages and 5 figures, figures improved, minor clarifications and few references added, final version to appear in PRD (rapid communications
