We review the general heat kernel method for the Dirac spinor field as an elementary example in any arbitrary background. We, then compute the first three Seeley-DeWitt coefficients for the massless free spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger field without imposing any limitations on the background geometry.

  1. Axion Inflation from Heavy-Fermion One-Loop Effects

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    One-loop integration of a heavy fermion with inflaton-dependent mass in axion inflation generates localized gauge-field production and a detectable chiral gravitational-wave signal in the deci-hertz range.
