The large-N limit of SU(N) matrix quantum mechanics has been studied recently as a model for large-N Yang-Mills theory. Here we solve this model with fundamental representation fermions (“quarks”) added. The “meson” spectrum is given by an integral equation and exhibits asymptotically linear “Regge trajectories” with the same spacing as that of the “glueballs”. 相似文献

We present an approximate QCD vacuum for SU(N → ∞). It is a generalization of the ferromagnetic vacuum first obtained by Savvidy for SU(2) and generalized by one of us to SU(3) and SU(4). Problems occuring for N ? 5 are handled in the large-Nlimit by a contnious formalism, and the vacuum obtained is characterized by N ? 1 constant, commuting, color magnetic fields with an isotropic distribution of spatial directions. The energy density of this vacuum is lower than of the perturbative vacuum by a number proportional to N2, as expected from general large-N arguments. Like the Savvidy vacuum the large-N vacuum may decay into a variant of the domained Copenhagen vacuum. We give a lower limit on the domain size. 相似文献

A possible explanation is proposed for the crossover from strong to weak coupling region in SU(N) lattice gauge theories. We predict the pointswhere the crossover takes place for all SU(N)M: For example, g2 ≈ 2.0 for SU(2), g2 ≈ 1.0 for SU(3) and limN→∞Ng2(SU(N) ≈ 2.0. 相似文献

4 dimensional Yukawa-type theories with an internal SU(N) symmetry group are studied in the large N limit by means of path integral techniques. For a simplified model where the bosonic field transforms as a singket under SU(N), we explicitly solve the gap equation and shiw that the symmetry is spontaneously broken. 相似文献

We have constructed a version of the chiral three-preon model E6 × SO(10) that satisfies the condition of asymptotic freedom in the metacolor and composite color-flavor sectors. The construction is based on the global color-flavor symmetry group SU(18). By applying the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition to the subgroup SU(16) × SU(2) of SU(18), together with a few physical constraints, we obtain a unique solution that gives rise to precisely three generations of the spinorial representation 16 of SO(10) without exotics. Except for N = 18, no solution exists for the global color-flavor group satisfying metacolor asymptotic freedom (N < 22) when SU(N) breaks to SU(16) × SU(N − 16). 相似文献

The energy spectrum and correlation functions in various quantum theories have been determined within the large-N limit. Here we study the wave functions. Explicit results are presented for a quantum mechanical rotor, invariant under adjoint transformations of U(N), as well as for O(N) invariant vector models in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. 相似文献

We study the large-N behavior of SP(N) invariant quantum mechanical matrix models. We establish a saddle-point method through the standard collective field technique and find that it produces the correct large-N behavior. We exhibit, therefore, the semiclassical origin at the large-N limit in this model. 相似文献

We derive the Fokker-Planck equation of the Langevin equation for SU(N) models with nonlocal step size. We solve this equation for the SU(N) × SU(N) spin model and determine the rescaled coupling constant and the correction of observables. 相似文献

Two series of SU(N) invariant non-linear σ models are constructed using exceptional orbits of the adjoint representation of SU(N). Each of these models possesses infinitely many local as well as non-local conserved charges. 相似文献

Using Monte Carlo techniques on a four-dimensional space-time lattice, we study SU(N)/ZN gauge theories for N = 3, 4, 5 and 6. We find first-order phase transitions at critical inverse temperatures of βc = 6.40, 12.0, 19.5 and 32.0 and SU(3)/Z3,SU(4)/Z4,SU(5)/Z5and SU (6)Z6, respectively. 相似文献

We show how N = 8 supersymmetry can break spontaneously to N = 1 at the Planck scale via a Kaluza-Klein compactification of d = 11 supergravity on the squashed seven-sphere. Features unique to Kaluza-Klein supergravity are (i) the massless gravitino of the N = 1 phase comes from a massiveN = 8 supermultiplet, (ii) the scalars developing nonzero VEVs also belong to massive N = 8 supermultiplets, (iii) parity remains unbroken when N = 8 breaks to N = 1.Next we ask whether the resulting N = 1 theory can provide a realistic SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) unification and speculate that it might if some of the gauge bosons and fermions are composite as in the EGMZ model. In contrast to their model, however, we avoid unwanted helicities and problems with their non-compact E7. Moreover, we suggest a scheme in which the electroweak SU(2) × U(1) is a subgroup of the d = 11 general coordinate group but that the strong SU(3) is a subgroup of the d = 11 local Lorentz group and are not, therefore, to be combined into a GUT. The special properties of the seven-sphere also suggest a possible solution of the cosmological constant problem involving fermion condensates. 相似文献

The mean field can be considered as a classical solution of an appropriately reformulated version of lattice gauge theories. Axial gauge fixing renders it stable. The quadratic forms for the fluctuations in the gaussian approximation are analyzed. The gaussian correction to the mean field free energy is expressed for all U(N) and SU(N) in terms of structure functions that are explicitly calculated for U(N), SU(∞, and SU(∞) numerical calculations are performed for the phase transition point, its latent heat, and some correlation lengths that are characteristic for this kind of mean field approach. 相似文献

We have computed the scale breaking Λ parameters of the euclidean and hamiltonian formulations of the lattice regulated O(N) and SU(N) × SU(N) spin systems in 1 + 1 dimensions in terms of the ΛPV parameters of the Pauli-Villars regulated continuum models. Using lattice perturbation theory, the renormalized mass gap has been determined in terms of ΛPV for each model. These results are compared to analogous calculations in SU(N) gauge theories. 相似文献

We present a new class of compactifying solutions for d = 11 supergravity. The internal 7-spaces are described by coset manifolds Npqr of the form SU(3) × U(1)/U(1) × U(1). The three integers p, q, r characterize the embedding of the stability subgroup U(1) × U(1) in SU(3) × U(1).Their supersymmetry content is quite remarkable. For a particular choice of p, q, r the isometry of Npqr is SU(3) × SU(2): in this case we find that N = 3 supersymmetry survives. For all the other values of p, q, r, supersymmetry is broken to N = 1, and the isometry group is SU(3) × U(1).We also find a class of solutions with internal photon curl Fαβγδ ≠ 0, breaking all supersymmetries. 相似文献

We investigate the properties of Z(N) topological excitations in Wilson's lattice formulation of SU(N) Yang-Mills theories. We exhibit the Z(N) topological excitations as exact classical solutions on the lattice. After giving detailed qualitative discussions about the Z(N) excitations and their relevance to confinement, we investigate the Z(N) lattice gauge theories with the Wilson action and show that Z(2), Z(3) and Z(4) models are self-dual systems. (The self-duality of the Z(2) case has been known previously.) This property enables us to locate the critical points exactly in those systems under the assumption that the phase transition occurs at only one point in the coupling constant space. We then derive the effective action for the Z(N) topological excitations in the lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in the steepest descent approximation. The critical coupling constants in the SU(N) models corresponding to the phase transition caused by the Z(N) excitations are estimated by using the information on the Z(N) models with the Wilson action. It is quite probable that the estimated value (for SU(3)) is an upper bound. This indicates that the Wilson model of the SU(3) gauge field can be effective action of the QCD gluons which exhibit permanent quark confinement and, at the same time, freedom up to the distance characterized by the energy, at least, ~1 TeV. 相似文献

The structure of spontaneous breaking of SU(N) gauge symmetry for grand unification is investigated. The results obtained are applied to the analysis of SU(8) symmetry for which possible ways of breaking and intermediate symmetries are considered. It is assumed that the SU(8) group unifies the subgroups of colour, standard electroweak and horizontal symmetries. We find conditions which it is necessary to impose on the vacuum expectation values of Higgs multiplets to provide an arbitrary breaking pattern of SU(N) symmetry and conserve any intermediate symmetry. If in the SU(8) models considered fermions and mirror fermions do not violate the (V-A) and (V+A) structure of weak interactions, then their masses should not be greater than ~102 GeV. It is also shown that the contributions of fermion and Higgs multiplets to the renormalization group equation for the coupling constant of any subgroup of SU(N) are identical. Renormalization group identities for the case of arbitrary SU(N) breaking are given where the contribution of Higgs multiplets have been taken into account (but they cancel each other). Using these identities one can calculate the mass values for the breaking of the intermediate symmetries in the SU(8) models, and also exclude part of the possible breaking patterns. 相似文献

SU(N) gauge systems are attracted to large orbits of the global gauge group by an invariant and calculable potential. In models the wave function becomes increasingly localized near the maximal orbit as N → ∞, which explains the success of semiclassical methods. Picturing the links Ui of the lattice as particles on an SU(N) group manifold, the effect favors large moments of inertia about U = 1. It thus opposes the magnetic interaction, and tends to destabilize the perturbative vacuum. 相似文献

Equal-time commutators of fields with charges are calculated in a cavity approximation to the MIT bag model, with N flavours of non-interacting quarks confined to a rigid spherical cavity and SU(N) symmetry arbitrarily broken by mass terms. It is proved that inside the cavity the algebra is identical with that of free field theory, whilst on the boundary quark fields commute with axial charges. Vector divergences and sigma commutators belong to a multiplet of chiral SU(N) × SU(N). Axial divergences contain additional surface terms which do not contribute to sigma commutators. A non-strange quark mass in the range 20–44 MeV is required to give a value 30–70 MeV for the nucleon matrix element of the sigma commutator relevant to pion-nucleon scattering. 相似文献

We study (1 + 1) dimensional gauge theories [with SU(N) and diagonal SU(N) color symmetry] using the functional integral method. We construct an effective lagrangian by performing a change in the fermionic variables, and then investigate relevant phenomena such as the intrinsic Higgs mechanism and color screening. 相似文献
