THE GENERAL FORM OF THE DIVERGENT PART OF 1PI VERTEX GENERATING FUNCTIONAL IN QUANTUM GAUGE THEORIES

rn this paper, the Slavnov equations are solved presence of Niggs fields, where the gauge group is a general compact semi-simple Lie group. A general form of the dins gent paxt of 1PI vertex generating functional is ottained, which provides a fairly general theoretical basis to the proof of renormalizability of quantum gauge theories.     

Supersymmetry transformation of quantum fields

If supersymmetry is realized non-linearly as is the case when auxiliary fields are eliminated and/or one works in the Wess–Zumino gauge it is usually incorporated in terms of BRS transformations and Slavnov–Taylor identities. On the vertex functional susy transformations act even non-locally. Furthermore, the gauge fixing term breaks supersymmetry. In the present paper we clarify in which sense supersymmetry is still a symmetry of the system and how it is realized on the level of quantum fields. We treat the Wess–Zumino model as an example for chiral models, SQED and massless SYM as prototypes of gauge theories.     

The algebra of physical observables in non-linearly realized gauge theories

We classify the physical observables in spontaneously broken non-linearly realized gauge theories in the recently proposed loopwise expansion governed by the Weak Power-Counting (WPC) and the Local Functional Equation. The latter controls the non-trivial quantum deformation of the classical non-linearly realized gauge symmetry, to all orders in the loop expansion. The Batalin–Vilkovisky (BV) formalism is used. We show that the dependence of the vertex functional on the Goldstone fields is obtained via a canonical transformation w.r.t. the BV bracket associated with the BRST symmetry of the model. We also compare the WPC with strict power-counting renormalizability in linearly realized gauge theories. In the case of the electroweak group we find that the tree-level Weinberg relation still holds if power-counting renormalizability is weakened to the WPC condition.     

Domain wall fermions with Majorana couplings

We examine the lattice boundary formulation of chiral fermions with either an explicit Majorana mass or a Higgs-Majorana coupling introduced on one of the boundaries. We demonstrate that the low-lying spectrum of the models with an explicit Majorana mass of the order of an inverse lattice spacing is chiral at tree level. Within a mean-field approximation we show that the systems with a strong Higgs-Majorana coupling have a symmetric phase, in which a Majorana mass of the order of an inverse lattice spacing is generated without spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry. We argue, however, that the models within such a phase have a chiral spectrum only in terms of the fermions that are singlets under the gauge group. The application of such systems to non-perturbative formulations of supersymmetric and chiral gauge theories is briefly discussed.     

New Mechanism for Mass Generation of Gauge Field

A new mechanism for mass generation of gauge field is discussed in this paper.By introducing two sets of gauge fields and making the variations of these two sets of gauge fields compensated each other under local gauge transformations,the mass term of gauge fields is introduced into the Lagrangian without violating the local gauge symmetry of the Lagrangian.This model is a renormalizable quantum model.     

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of Slavnov symmetry A restriction on the gauge condition

It is shown that the condition of vanishing vacuum expectation value of the gauge operator, using a gauge-fixing term quadratic in this operator, does not necessarily follow from the Slavnov identity, due to a possible spontaneous breakdown of the Slavnov symmetry. For a consistent renormalization such a condition may have to be imposed order by order in perturbation theory, depending on the choice of the gauge. This restriction on non-singular gauges is particularly relevant for the discussion of the spontaneously broken realizations of the gauge symmetry.     

Mass generation for gauge fields in the Salam-Weinberg theory without Higgs bosons

We consider the Salam-Weinberg theory by introducing tensor gauge fields. When these fields are coupled in a topological way with the vector ones, the resulting system constitutes an alternative mechanism of mass generation for vector fields without the presence of Higgs bosons. We show that these masses are in agreement with the ones obtained by means of the spontaneous symmetry breaking.     

Gauge invariance and spontaneous symmetry breaking in two-gap superconductors

The gauge symmetry of the Ginzburg–Landau theory for two-gap superconductors is analyzed in this letter. We argue that the existence of two different phases, associated with the two independent scalar Higgs fields, explicitly breaks the gauge symmetry of the Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian, unless a new additional vector field is included. Furthermore, the interference term, or Josephson coupling, holding a direct dependence with the phase difference, also explicitly breaks down the gauge symmetry. We show that a solution for the problem is achieved by adding an additional kinetic coupling term between the two vector fields, which generates the desired terms through a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. Finally, the electrodynamics of the system is also presented in terms of the supercurrents inside the superconducting region.     

Shadow fields and local supersymmetric gauges

To control supersymmetry and gauge invariance in super-Yang–Mills theories we introduce new fields, called shadow fields, which enable us to enlarge the conventional Faddeev–Popov framework and write down a set of useful Slavnov–Taylor identities. These identities allow us to address and answer the issue of the supersymmetric Yang–Mills anomalies, and to perform the conventional renormalization programme in a fully regularization-independent way.     

Scaling behaviour of charged spin-one partons in a gauge model

In a hadron model in which the fermion constituents are bound by vector-isovector gauge fields, electromagnetism is introduced; by spontaneously breaking the strong (SU(2)) gauge symmetry, the gauge fields become massive. We identify the spinors and vectors with partons, and, assuming the naive parton model hypothesis, we calculate the cross section e⁺e^?→ hadrons and the structure functions of the nucleon; scaling is obtained desoite induces presence of an anomalous magnetic moment term in the coupling of the photon with the charged vector fields; the reason is that the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry indices a vector-meson dominance type of coupling between the photon and the neutral vector, which is just what is necessary to restore scaling.     

QED with vector and axial vector types of interaction and dynamical generation of particle masses

We consider a model of electrodynamics with two types of interaction, the vector \((e\bar \psi (\gamma ^\mu A_\mu )\psi )\) and axial vector \((e_A \bar \psi (\gamma ^\mu \gamma ^5 B_\mu )\psi )\) interactions, i.e., with two types of vector gauge fields, which corresponds to the local nature of the complete massless-fermion symmetry group U(1) ? U _A (1). We present a phenomenological model with spontaneous symmetry breaking through which the fermion and the axial vector field B_μ acquire masses. Based on an approximate solution of the Dyson equation for the fermion mass operator, we demonstrate the phenomenon of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking when the field B_μ has mass. We show the possibility of eliminating the axial anomalies in the model under consideration when introducing other types of fermions (quarks) within the standard-model fermion generations. We consider the polarization operator for the field B_μ and the procedure for removing divergences when calculating it. We demonstrate the emergence of a mass pole in the propagator of the particles that correspond to the field B_03BC when chiral symmetry is broken and consider the problems of regularizing closed fermion loops with axial vector vertices in connection with chiral symmetry breaking.     

Cancellation of the chiral anomaly in a model with spontaneous symmetry breaking

A perturbatively renormalized Abelian Higgs-Kibble model with a chirally coupled fermion is considered. The Slavnov identity is fulfilled to all orders of perturbation theory, which is crucial for renormalizability in models with vector bosons. BRS invariance, i.e. the validity of the identity, forces the chiral anomaly to be cancelled by Wess-Zumino counterterms. This procedure preserves the renormalizability in the one-loop approximation but it violates the Froissart bounds for partial wave amplitudes above some energy and destroys renormalizability from the second order in? onwards due to the counterterms.     

Supersymmetric BPHZ renormalization: (II). Supersymmetric extension of the pure Yang-Mills model

We generalize the supersymmetry way of performing the BPHZ renormalization in introduced in paper (I) to cases including massless fields. This is used to prove the Slavnov identity in the supersymmetric extension of the pure Yang-Mills theory.     

Supersymmetric anyon model coupled to the electromagnetic field

We construct a supersymmetric gauge model describing the electromagnetic interaction of anyons. This is done by means of the supersymmetric generalization of theU(1) ×U(1) gauge theory. The model contains the statisticalU(1) gauge field endowed with a Chern-Simons mass term and the electromagnetic field, both with the corresponding superpartners, coupled to matter fields. This constrained system is analyzed from the Hamiltonian point of view and the canonical quantization is found. The path-integral method is used to develop the perturbative formalism. We define suitable propagators and vertices and give the diagrammatics and the Feynman rules.     

The Relation Between Gauge and Non-Gauge Abelian Models

This work studies the relationship between gauge-invariant and non gauge-invariant Abelian vector models. Following a technique introduced by Harada and Tsutsui, we show that the Proca and the chiral Schwinger models may both be viewed as gauge-fixed versions of genuinely gauge-invariant models. This leads to the proposal that any consistent Abelian vector model with no gauge symmetry can be understood as a gauge theory that had its gauge fixed, which establishes an equivalence between gauge-invariant and non gauge-invariant models. Finally, we show that a gauge-invariant version of the chiral Schwinger model, after integrating out the fermionic degrees of freedom, can be identified with the two-dimensional Stueckelberg model without the gauge-fixing term.     

On the dynamical mass generation in gauge-invariant non-linear σ-models

We argue that external gauge fields coupled in a gauge-invariant way to both the bosonic and supersymmetric two-dimensional non-linear σ-models acquire a dynamical mass term whenever the target space is restricted to be a group manifold.     

Gauge Model with Massive Gravitons

Gauge theory of gravity is formulated based on principle of local gauge invariance. Because the model hasstrict local gravitational gauge symmetry, and gauge theory of gravity is a perturbatively renormalizable quantum model.However, in the original model, all gauge gravitons are massless. We want to ask whether there exist massive gravitonsin Nature. In this paper, we will propose a gauge model with massive gravitons. The mass term of gravitational gaugefield is introduced into the theory without violating the strict local gravitational gauge symmetry. Massive gravitons canbe considered to be possible origin of dark energy and dark matter in the Universe.     

Composite antisymmetric-tensor Nambu-Goldstone bosons in a four-fermion interaction model and the Higgs mechanism

Starting from the Fierz transform of the two-flavour 't Hooft interaction (a four-fermion Lagrangian with antisymmetric Lorentz tensor interaction terms augmented by an NJL type Lorentz scalar interaction responsible for dynamical symmetry breaking and quark mass generation), we show that: (1) antisymmetric tensor Nambu-Goldstone bosons appear provided that the scalar and tensor couplings stand in the proportion of two to one, which ratio appears naturally in the Fierz transform of the two-flavour 't Hooft interaction; (2) non-Abelian vector gauge bosons coupled to this system acquire a non-zero mass. Axial-vector fields do not mix with antisymmetric tensor fields, so there is no mass shift there. Received: 3 September 1999 / Revised Version: 3 November 1999 / Published online: 6 April 2000     

Supergravity,R invariance and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking

We show that in order for a U(1) gauge theory with a Fayet-Illiopoulos term to be consistently coupled to supergravity, preserving gauge invariance, the superpotential must be R invariant. A supersymmetric cosmological term and therefore an explicit mass-like term for the gravitino is forbidden by gauge invariance. This result severely constrains the possible models for non-gravitational interactions. We comment on possible mass term the gauginos induced by gravitational effects.
