Symmetries in a Constrained System with a Singular Higher-Order Lagrangian

A simple algorithm to construct the generator of gauge transformation for a constrained canonical system with a singular higher-order Lagrangian in field theories is developed. Based on phase-space generating functional of Green function for such a system, the generalized canonical Ward identities under the non-local transformation have been deduced. For the gauge-invariant system, based on configuration-space generating functional, the generalized Ward identities under the non-local transformation have been also derived.The conservation laws are deduced at the quantum level. The applications of the above results to the gauge invariance massive vector field and non-Abelian Chern–Simons(CS) theories with higher-order derivatives are given, a new form of gauge-ghost proper vertices, and Ward–Takahashi identity under BRS transformation and BRS charge at the quantum level are obtained. In the canonical formulation one does not need to carry out the integration over canonical momenta in phase-space path integral as usually performed.     

Causal non-local character of quantum statistics

Developing Tersoff and Bayers ideas one shows that quantum statistics result from distinguishable particles correlated by causal non-local actions-at-a-distance. The difference between classical and quantum statistics thus results from the uncontrollable non-local character of stochastic interactions connecting particles imbedded in Dirac's random aether.

Non-local charges: A new concept in quantum field theory

Non-local charges are defined as a natural generalization of standard charges in relativistic quantum field theory. The general form of a non-local charge in terms of asymptotic fields is given and preliminary results on the restrictions imposed on non-local charges in interacting theories are reported [8].On leave of absence from the II Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Hamburg, F.R.G.     

T-duality and non-local supersymmetries

We study the non-localization of extended worldsheet supersymmetry under T-duality, when the associated complex structure depends on the coordinate with respect to which duality is performed. First, the canonical transformation which implements T-duality is generalized to the supersymmetric non-linear σ-models. Then, we obtain the non-local object which replaces the complex structure in the dual theory and write down the condition it should satisfy so that the dual action is invariant under the non-local supersymmetry. For the target space, this implies that the supersymmetry transformation parameter is a non-local spinor. The analogue of the Killing equation for this non-local spinor is obtained. It is argued that in the target space the supersymmetry is no longer realized in the standard way. The string theoretic origin of this phenomenon is briefly discussed.     

An anomalous transformation in string field theory

Conformal field theory techniques are used to analyze a recently proposed transformation of Witten's interaction vertex from center-of-mass to mid-point variables. As presented in the literature the transformed vertex has the surprising property of being non-local in the mid-point coordinates unless an additional non-unitary transformation is performed. This renders the kinetic term non-local and poses additional problems. Here we show that, besides being non-local, the transformed vertex does not satisfy the overlap equations and fails to be BRST invariant. These bad properties are the result of an associativity anomaly of the type considered by Horowitz and Strominger. However, this anomaly is “almost trivial” in the sense that most of its bad effects can be avoided by choosing a proper regularization.     

Quantal Noether Identities and Their Applications

Based on the phase-space generating functional of the Green function for a system with a regular/singular Lagrangian, the quantal canonical Noether identities (NI) under the local and non-local transformation in extended phase have been derived, respectively. The result holds true whether the Jacobian of the transformation is equal to unity or not. Based on the configuration-space generating functional of the gauge-invariant system obtained by using Faddeev-Popov (FP) trick, the quantal NI under the local and non-local transformation in configuration space have been also deduced. It is showed that for a system with a singular Lagriangian one must use the effective action in the quantal NI instead of the classical action in corresponding classical NI. It is pointed out that in certain cases, the quantal NI may be converted into the quantal (weak) conservation laws by using the quantal equations of motion. This algorithm to derive the quantal conservation laws differs from the quantal first Noether theorem. The preliminary applications of this formulation to Yang-Mills (YM) fields and non-Abelian Chern-Simons (CS) theories are given. The quantal conserved quantities for non-local transformation in YM fields are obtained. The conserved BRS and PBRS quantities at the quantum level in non-Abelian CS theories are also found. The property of fractional spin in CS theories is discussed. PACS no11.10. Ef; 11.30.−j 11.15. −q.     

Integrability of AdS3×S3 Superstring

From the κ symmetric action of IIB string in AdS₃×S³ background given by Rahmfeld and Rajaraman, we derive the equations of motion. Then using the twisted dual transformation which was introduced by Hou et al. We construct the flat currents, and hence conserved non-local charge with one free parameter, for the Green-Schwarz superstring in AdS₃×S³. Thus we show the AdS₃×S³ string is integrable.     

The deuteron and its magnetic moment the effects of non-local nuclear forces and of unitary transformations

The deuteron theory is renewed and completed for non-local Hamiltonians. A method to calculate deuteron wave functions is given. The formula for the current density and the magnetic dipole moment of a non-local potential is derived, and applied to the GCT, GT, and HJ-potential. The effects of a unitary transformation on the deuteron data — electric quadrupole moment, magnetic dipole moment, and radius — are shown. For the numerical calculations the Ristig-Kistler transformation and the HJ-potential were used. It is shown that an overall fit cannot be reached.     

Simple proof of electron beam stability in the deep-potential-wellequilibrium

It is well known that a strongly magnetized electron beam propagating in an evacuated conducting pipe can exist in either of two equilibria, one with a shallow potential well and the other with a deep potential well. A Lorentz transformation connecting the two classes of equilibria is derived. Thus, since shallow-potential-well equilibria are known to be stable, the deep-potential-well equilibria must also be. The stability of space charge waves in the two equilibria should follow the same pattern     

Electronic charge density in simple metals

The valence electron density is calculated for aluminum, magnesium, and sodium using an OPW-based pseudopotential method. The Fourier transform of the charge density is used to calculate atomic form factors which compare very well with experimental X-ray scattering form factors. The non-local and energy-dependent nature of the pseudopotential and corrections from the orthogonalization hole are shown to be important.     

Low-energy pion-nucleus optical potentials

We discuss the local and non-local pion-nucleus optical potentials. We find that the local potential becomes non-local when two-nucleon correlations are included. The two potentials (including correlations) can be made local through a transformation on the wave function. The new local potentials agree up to quadratic terms when expanded in powers of the density. The influence of finite-range correlations and off-shell pion-nucleon form factors is also investigated.     

On the origin of anomalies in the quantum non-local charge for the generalized non-linear sigma models

A general criterion for the absence or presence of anomalies in the quantum non-local charge of the non-linear σ-model on a riemannian symmetric space is presented.     

Quantum Noether identities for non-local transformationsin higher-order derivatives theories

Based on the phase-space generating functional of the Green function for a system with a regular/singular higher-order Lagrangian, the quantum canonical Noether identities (NIs) under a local and non-local transformation in phase space have been deduced, respectively. For a singular higher-order Lagrangian, one must use an effective canonical action I_eff^P in quantum canonical NIs instead of the classical I^P in classical canonical NIs. The quantum NIs under a local and non-local transformation in configuration space for a gauge-invariant system with a higher-order Lagrangian have also been derived. The above results hold true whether or not the Jacobian of the transformation is equal to unity or not. It has been pointed out that in certain cases the quantum NIs may be converted to conservation laws at the quantum level. This algorithm to derive the quantum conservation laws is significantly different from the quantum first Noether theorem. The applications of our formulation to the Yang-Mills fields and non-Abelian Chern-Simons (CS) theories with higher-order derivatives are given, and the conserved quantities at the quantum level for local and non-local transformations are found, respectively.Received: 12 February 2002, Revised: 16 June 2003, Published online: 25 August 2003Z.-P.

A New Type of Charge-Density-Wave Pinning in Orthorhombic TaS3 Crystals with Quenching Defects

Diminishing in the concentration of quenching defects during thermocycling of orthorhombic TaS₃ samples in the temperature range below the Peierls transition temperature T < T_P is observed. It makes it possible to study the character of pinning of the charge density wave by these defects. A number of fundamental differences from pinning by ordinary local pinning centers—impurities and point defects—have been found. We conclude that quenching defects are extended (non-local) objects (presumably, dislocations) that can diffuse from the crystal during low-temperature thermocycling due to their strong interaction with the charge density wave, which is intrinsic for Peierls conductors. The presence of these defects leads to a previously unknown non-local type of the charge-density-wave pinning that acts on T_P and the threshold field for the onset of charge-density-wave sliding, E_T, differently in comparison with the local pinning centers.

     

Mach Like Principle from Conserved Charges

We study models where the gauge coupling constants, masses and the gravitational constant are functions of some conserved charge in the universe, and furthermore a cosmological constant that depends on the total charge of the universe. We first consider the standard Dirac action, but where the mass and the electromagnetic coupling constant are a function of the charge in the universe and afterwards extend this to curved spacetime and consider gauge coupling constants, the gravitational constant and the mass as a function of the charge of the universe, which represent a sort of Mach principle for all the constants of nature. In the flat space formulation, the formalism is not manifestly Lorentz invariant, however Lorentz invariance can be restored by performing a phase transformation of the Dirac field. One interesting model of this type is one where the action is invariant under rescalings of the Dirac wave function. In the curved space time formulation, there is the additional feature that some of the equations of motion break the general coordinate invariance also, but in a way that can be understood as a coordinate choice only, so the equations are still of the General Relativity type, but with a certain natural coordinate choice, where there is no current of the charge. We have generalized what we have done and also constructed a cosmological constant which depends on the total charge of the universe. We discuss how these ideas work when the space where the charges live is finite. If we were to use some only approximately conserved charge for these constructions, like say baryon number (in the context of the standard model), this will lead to corresponding violations of Lorentz symmetry in the early universe for example. We also briefly discuss another non-local formulations where the coupling constants are functions of the Pontryagin index of some non-abelian gauge field configurations. The construction of charge dependent contributions can also be motivated from the structure of the “infra-red counter terms” needed to cancel infra red divergences for example in three dimensions.
