Precise quark-mass dependence of the instanton determinant.

TL;DR: The fermion determinant in an instanton background for a quark field of arbitrary mass is determined exactly using an efficient numerical method to evaluate the determinant of a partial-wave radial differential operator.

Calculation of QCD instanton determinant with arbitrary mass

TL;DR: In this paper, the exact quark mass dependence of the one-loop effective action in an instanton background has been computed, and the result interpolates smoothly between the previously known extreme small and large mass limits.

Instanton determinant with arbitrary quark mass: WKB phase-shift method and derivative expansion

TL;DR: In this paper, the fermion determinant in an instanton background for a quark field of arbitrary mass is studied using the Schwinger proper-time representation with WKB scattering phase shifts for the relevant partial-wave differential operators.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum field theory can be found in this paper, where special emphasis is given to the Hawking black hole evaporation effect, and to particle creation processes in the early universe.

On gauge invariance and vacuum polarization

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the extraction of gauge invariants from a formally gauge invariant theory is ensured if one employs methods of solution that involve only gauge covariant quantities.

Regularization and Renormalization of Gauge Fields

TL;DR: In this article, a new regularization and renormalization procedure for gauge theories is presented, which is particularly well suited for the treatment of gauge theories and is transparent when anomalies such as the Bell-Jackiw-Adler anomaly may occur.
