Topological terms and anomaly matching in effective field theories on ℝ3 × 𝕊1. Part I. Abelian symmetries and intermediate scales

Abstract We explicitly calculate the topological terms that arise in IR effective field theories for SU(N) gauge theories on ℝ3 × 𝕊1 by integrating out all but the lightest modes. We then show how these terms match all global-symmetry ’t Hooft anomalies of the UV description. We limit our discussion...
