RT Journal Article T1 The universality of the shift of the Chern-Simons parameter for a general class of BRS invariant regularizations A1 Ruiz Ruiz, Fernando A1 Martin, C. P. A1 Giavarini, G. AB We consider a biparametric family of BRS invariant regularization methods of SU (N) Chem-Simons theory (the parameters defining the family taking arbitrary values in R2) and show that the one-loop shift k --> k + sign(k) N of the Chern-Simons parameter k occurs for arbitrary values of the family defining parameters. This strongly supports the conjecture that the shift of k is universal for BRS invariant regulators PB Elsevier Science Bv SN 0370-2693 YR 1993 FD 1993-09-23 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/59042 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/59042 LA eng NO Copyright © 1993 Published by Elsevier B.V.
