Hilbert space representations of Lie algebras

We describe a new approach to the general theory of unitary representations of Lie groups which makes use of the Gelfand-Segal construction directly on the universal enveloping algebra of any Lie algebra. The crucial observation is that Nelson's theory of analytic vectors allows the characterisation of certain states on the universal enveloping algebra such that the corresponding representations of the universal enveloping algebra are the infinitesimal part of unitary representations of the associated simply connected Lie group. In the first section of the paper we show that with the aid of Choquet's theory of representing measures one can derive a simple new approach to integral decomposition theory along these lines.In the second section of the paper we use these methods to study the irreducible unitary representations of general semi-simple Lie groups. We give a simple proof that theK-finite vectors studied by Harish-Chandra [5] are all analytic vectors. We also give new proofs of some of Godement's results [2] characterising spherical functions of height one, at least for unitary representations. Compared with [2] our method has the possible advantage of obtaining the characterisations by infinitesimal methods instead of using an indirect argument involving functions on the group. We point out that while being purely algebraic in nature, this approach makes almost no use of the deep and difficult theorems of Harish-Chandra concerning the universal enveloping algebra [5].Our work is done in very much the same spirit as that of Power's recent paper [8]. The main difference is that by concentrating on a more special class of positive states we are able to carry the analysis very much further without difficulty.

Simplified test of universality in lattice QCD

A simplified test of universality in lattice QCD is performed by analytically evaluating the continuous Euclidean time limits of various lattice fermion determinants, both with and without a Wilson term to lift the fermion doubling on the Euclidean time axis, and comparing them with each other and with the zeta-regularized fermion determinant in the continuous time-lattice space setting. The determinant relations expected from universality considerations are found to be violated by a certain gauge field-dependent factor; i.e., we uncover a "universality anomaly." The physical significance, or lack thereof, of this factor is a delicate question that remains to be settled.     

Can the nearly conformal sextet gauge model hide the Higgs impostor?

New results are reported from large scale lattice simulations of a frequently discussed strongly interacting gauge theory with a fermion flavor doublet in the two-index symmetric (sextet) representation of the SU(3) color gauge group. We find that the chiral condensate and the mass spectrum of the sextet model are consistent with chiral symmetry breaking in the limit of vanishing fermion mass. In contrast, sextet fermion mass deformations of spectral properties are not consistent with leading conformal scaling behavior near the critical surface of a conformal theory. A recent paper could not resolve the conformal fixed point of the gauge coupling from the slowly walking scenario of a very small nearly vanishing β-function (DeGrand et al. [3]). It is argued that overall consistency with our new results is resolved if the sextet model is close to the conformal window, staying outside with a very small non-vanishing β-function. The model would exhibit then the simplest composite Higgs mechanism leaving open the possibility of a light scalar state with quantum numbers of the Higgs impostor. It would emerge as the pseudo-Goldstone dilaton state from spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale invariance. We will argue that even without association with the dilaton, the scalar Higgs-like state can be light very close to the conformal window. A new Higgs project of sextet lattice simulations is outlined to resolve these important questions.     

Pairs of chiral quarks on the lattice from staggered fermions

A new formulation of chiral fermions on the lattice is presented. It is a version of overlap fermions, but built from the computationally efficient staggered fermions rather than the previously used Wilson fermions. The construction reduces the four quark flavors described by the staggered fermion to two quark flavors; this pair can be taken as the up and down quarks in Lattice QCD. A domain wall formulation giving a truncation of this overlap construction is also outlined.     

An SU(5) Grand Unified Model with Hadrons as Nontopological Solitons(Ⅰ)

A new grand unified model containing the known three generations of quark and lepton in which hadrons are regarded as nontopological solitons formed from quarks is presented. According to the model leptons and quarks are the same in essence. The differences between them are caused by spontaneous symmetry breaking.When a quark is located inside a hadron, its properties will be the same as those of a known quark and its mass very small. When a quark is outside hadrons, its properties will be the same as those of a known lepton, its mass very large and it Will rapidly decay. Except defining charge Q0 and fermion number F0 which are exactly conserved, we also define interior colour, interior charge and interior fermion number approximatly conserved inside a hadron. The (L-B) conservation in the known SU(5) model corresponds to the fermion number number Fo conservation in the present model.     

The boson-fermion hybrid representation formulation,I

A boson-fermion hybrid representation is presented. In this framework, a fermion system is described concurrently by the bosonic and the fermionic degrees of freedom. A fermion pair in this representation can be treated as a boson without violating the Pauli principle. Furthermore the “bosonic interactions” are shown to originate from the exchange processes of the fermions and can be calculated from the original fermion interactions. Both the formulation of the BFH representations for the even and odd nuclear systems are given. We find that the basic equation of the nuclear field theory (NFT) is just the usual Schrödinger equation in such a representation with the empirical NFT diagrammatic rules emerging naturally. This theory was numerically checked in the case of four nucleons moving in a single-j shell and the exactness of the theory was established.

A New Approach for Calculating Spin Susceptibility in QED3

Based on the study of the linear response of the fermion propagator to the presence of an external scalar field, a new method for calculating the staggered spin susceptibility in QED3 is presented, in which the influence of the full vertex function is included. The numerical values of the staggered spin susceptibility are calculated within the framework of the rainbow-ladder approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger approach. A comparison between the result calculated using the full vertex and that using the bare vertex is given.     

Baryogenesis and neutron-antineutron oscillation at TeV

We propose a TeV extension of the standard model to generate the cosmological baryon asymmetry with an observable neutron-antineutron oscillation. The new fields include a singlet fermion, an isotriplet and two isosinglet diquark scalars. There will be no proton decay although the Majorana mass of the singlet fermion as well as the trilinear couplings between one isosinglet diquark and two isotriplet diquarks softly break the baryon number of two units. The isosinglet diquarks couple to two right-handed down-type quarks or to a right-handed up-type quark and a singlet fermion, whereas the isotriplet diquark couples to two left-handed quarks. The isosinglet diquarks mediate the three-body decays of the singlet fermion to realize a TeV baryogenesis without fine tuning the resonant effect. By the exchange of one singlet fermion and two isosinglet diquarks and of one isosinglet diquark and two isotriplet diquarks, a neutron-antineutron oscillation is allowed to verify in the future experiments.

Scales of mass generation for quarks, leptons, and majorana neutrinos

We study 2-->n inelastic fermion-(anti)fermion scattering into multiple longitudinal weak gauge bosons and derive universal upper bounds on the scales of fermion mass generation by imposing unitarity of the S matrix. We place new upper limits on the scales of fermion mass generation, independent of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. Strikingly, we find that the strongest 2-->n limits fall in a narrow range, 3-170 TeV (with n=2-24), depending on the observed fermion masses.     

Grand unification at intermediate mass scales through extra dimensions

One of the drawbacks of conventional grand unification scenarios has been that the unification scale is too high to permit direct exploration. In this paper, we show that the unification scale can be significantly lowered (perhaps even to the TeV scale) through the appearance of extra space-time dimensions. Such extra dimensions are a natural consequence of string theories with large-radius compactifications. We show that extra space-time dimensions naturally lead to gauge coupling unification at intermediate mass scales, and moreover may provide a natural mechanism for explaining the fermion mass hierarchy by permitting the fermion masses to evolve with a power-law dependence on the mass scale. We also show that proton-decay constraints may be satisfied in our scenario due to the higher-dimensional cancellation of proton-decay amplitudes to all orders in perturbation theory. Finally, we extend these results by considering theories without supersymmetry; experimental collider signatures; and embeddings into string theory. The latter also enables us to develop several novel methods of explaining the fermion mass hierarchy via D-branes. Our results therefore suggest a new approach towards understanding the physics of grand unification as well as the phenomenology of large-radius string compactifications.     

QCD on the lattice and light hadron spectroscopy

Results in lattice Quantum Chromodynamics with fermions are reviewed. Estimates for the hadron spectrum on large lattices without and with light fermion polarization loops are discussed, and the results for different fermion regularizations are compared. The effects of the loops are found to be significant in lattice units, but to a greater part they can be reabsorbed in a redefinition of the overall scale. New estimates for the light quark masses with Wilson fermions are also presented. They differ substantially from previous estimates obtained by other methods in the continuum, and are much smaller. Finally it is argued that staggered fermions can lead to some anomalous results, which arise because of the doubling problem.     

Valence transition in the periodic Anderson model

A very rich phase diagram has recently been found in CeCu₂Si₂ from high pressure experiments where, in particular, a transition between an intermediate valence configuration and an integral valent heavy fermion state has been observed. We show that such a valence transition can be understood in the framework of the periodic Anderson model. In particular, our results show a breakdown of a mixed-valence state which is accompanied by a drastic change in the f occupation in agreement with experiment. This valence transition can possibly be interpreted as a collapse of the large Fermi surface of the heavy fermion state which incorporates not only the conduction electrons but also the localized f electrons. The theoretical approach used in this paper is based on the novel projector-based renormalization method (PRM). With respect to the periodic Anderson model, the method was before only employed in combination with the basic approximations of the well-known slave-boson mean-field theory. In this paper, the PRM treatment is performed in a more sophisticated manner where both mixed as well as integral valent solutions have been obtained. Furthermore, we argue that the presented PRM approach might be a promising starting point to study the competing interactions in CeCu₂Si₂ and related compounds.     

Dynamical structures fork-vector fields

A new class of dynamical structures that generalize electrodynamics is presented. In this construction the 1-jets of solutions are represented by a class ofk-vector fields that extend the notion of a Poisson structure to multivectors of degree greater than two. These objects function as tangent vectors to solutions. Although the dynamical equations are systems of partial differential equations, the formalism is very similar to mechanics.
