The method consists of nested factorizations of the gauge group volume for the determination of the consistently defined delta function of reduced gauge conditions, group integration measure, and gauge-fixed contribution of ghosts. It is compared to the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism of quantizing theories with linearly dependent generators and shown to be equivalent to it for first stage reducible theories. Nevertheless, the method under consideration, unlike the BV formalism, from the very beginning leads to the functional integral with fewer number of ghosts. Using this method, we quantized the variant of fermionic totally antisymmetric tensor-spinor theory in AdS space and derived its effective action in terms of the functional determinants of special Dirac-type operators. Limitations of the method are also discussed along with the prospects of its extension to higher reducibility stages and higher rank models of antisymmetric fermions.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145140802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At finite temperature, the holographic model is characterized by an asymptotically anti–de Sitter black hole coupled to a scalar field, the dilaton, which is quadratic in the radial direction. The inclusion of the scalar field results in an explicit breaking of the conformal symmetry in the dual field theory. In such systems, the Hawking temperature of the black hole corresponds to the plasma temperature in the dual field theory.

Eccentric binaries can form in dense stellar environments such as globular clusters or active galactic nuclei or from triple stellar systems in the Galactic field. However, confidently measuring eccentricity is challenging—short signals from high-mass eccentric mergers can mimic spin-induced precession, making the two effects hard to disentangle. This degeneracy weakens considerably for longer-duration signals. Here, GW200208_222617 provides a rare opportunity. Originating from a relatively low-mass binary with source-frame chirp mass ∼</a:mo>20</a:mn>M</a:mi>⊙</a:mo></a:msub></a:math>, its gravitational-wave signal spanned <d:math xmlns:d=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><d:mo>∼</d:mo><d:mn>14</d:mn></d:math> orbital cycles in band, with no indication of data quality issues. Previous analyses for quasicircular binaries found no evidence for spin precession, and multiple subsequent studies found the data to favor an eccentric merger despite notable technical differences. All in all, we believe GW200208_222617 is the black-hole merger event from Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog-3 with the least ambiguous detection of eccentricity. We present a critical discussion of properties and astrophysical interpretation of GW200208_222617 as an eccentric black-hole merger using models of field triples, globular clusters, and active galactic nuclei. We find that if GW200208_222617 was indeed eccentric, its origin is consistent with a field triple or globular cluster. Formation in the inner regions of an active galactic nucleus is disfavored. The outer regions of such a disk remain a viable origin for GW200208_222617; we demonstrate how future detections of eccentric mergers formed in such environments could be powerful tools for constraining the disk geometry.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145140801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
