Bosonization of the SU(N) Thirring models

Bosonization is applied to the SU(N) Thirring models, and interesting relations between various two-dimensional field theories arise. In particular, we show that the SU(2) model is equivalent to a version of the Sine-Gordon equation plus a free massless field.     

More about the S-matrix of the chiral SU(N) Thirring model

We fix the bound state poles of the S-matrix of the chiral SU(N) Thirring model by general arguments. Avoiding an infrared problem by using a modified $\text{1}\text{N}$ expansion, the result is confirmed in leading order.     

Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking in the chiral SU(n) × SU(n) linear σ model

The onset of symmetry breaking in the chiral SU(n) × SU(n) linear σ model is investigated. It is shown that the model possesses no stable fixed points in d = 4 ? ? dimensions and that the chiral symmetry of the theory can be broken via the CW mechanism when d = 4. The implications of these results are discussed.     

U(1) symmetry in the current algebra and N-fermionic massless Thirring model

Local U(1) symmetry in current algebra constructed by fermions has been found. The symmetry is related to the simplest q-deformation of N-fermions. We give the physical interpretation through the N-fermionic massless Thirring model. The Bethe ansatz wavefunction is also given.

SU(N) gauge fields with spherical symmetry

A method to construct spherically symmetricSU(N) gauge fields and an invariant classification are presented. For the groupSU(3) the ansätze are completely elaborated. The corresponding sourcelessSU(3)-Yang-Mills equations are discussed.     

Baryons in chiral SU(N)—QCD on the light-cone in 1 + 1-dimensions

We demonstrate that using bosonization techniques in 1+1-dimensional QCD in the chiral limit a unique definition of baryons is possible for finiteN _c despite the fact that mesons, baryons and anti-baryons are massless. The definition which is based on the construction of an SU(2)-algebra provides the basis for a new approach to investigate hadronic properties in the strong coupling limit. It is used to study the Fock-state decomposition and structure functions of baryons for various finite values ofN _c . The results are discussed in comparison to similar calculations based on discretized lightcone quantization.     

SU(3) × SU(3) symmetry breaking in a simple model

A field-theoretical model, due to Lévy, is studied. It contains a triplet of quarks and a pseudoscalar and a scalar meson nonet. The original SU(3) × SU(3) symmetry is broken by terms linear in the scalar meson fields. A renormalization and regularization procedure is defined in order to remove the ultra-violet divergences. The possibility of a spontaneous breakdown of the symmetry is described and the Goldstone theorem is verified in the one-loop approximation.     

Studies of chiral symmetry breaking in SU(2) lattice gauge theory

We study chiral symmetry breaking (_χSB) in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with quarks in the $\text{l =}\text{1}\text{2}\text{, l = 1, l =}\text{3}\text{2}$, and l = 2 representations of the color group. We perform Monte Carlo evaluations of $\text{〈}\text{ψ}\text{ψ〉}$ in the quenched approximation and extract the relevant length scales for _χSB. We revise a previous estimate for the ratio between the chiral symmetry restoration temperatures for fundamental and adjoint quarks and obtain $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{l\; =\; 1}}\text{/T}{}_{\mathrm{l}}\text{=}\text{1}\text{2}\text{～ 8}$. Our results for the higher representations, $\text{l =}\text{3}\text{2}\text{and}\text{l = 2}$, are consistent with Casimir scaling and give C₂g_mom² ～ 4. Many aspects of our calculational method are explained in detail. The issues discussed include the relation between _χSB in the quenched approximation and the spectrum of the Dirac operator, the flavor symmetries of euclidean staggered fermions, estimates of finite-size effects and the reliability of m → 0 extrapolations on finite lattices.     

On theO(1/N 2)β-function of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with non-abelian chiral symmetry

We present the formalism for computing the critical exponent corresponding to the β-function of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model withSU(M)×SU(M) continuous chiral symmetry atO(1/N ²) in a largeN expansion, whereN is the number of fermions. We find that the equations can only be solved for the caseM=2 and subsequently an analytic expression is then derived. This contrasting behavior between theM=2 andM>2 cases, which appears first atO(1/N ²), is related to the fact that the anomalous dimensions of the bosonic fields are only equivalent forM=2.

SU(5) symmetry of spdfg interacting boson model

The extended interacting boson model with s-, p-, d-, f- and g-bosons included (spdfg IBM)is investigated. The algebraic structure including the generators, the Casimir operators of the groups at the SU(5) dynamical symmetry and the branching rules of the irreducible representation reductions along the group chain are obtained. The typical energy spectrum of the symmetry is given.     

Mass measurements in a U(1) gauge-Higgs model with global SU(2) symmetry

Mass measurements are carried out in a lattice U(1) gauge-Higgs system with the Higgs fields transforming as a doublet under a global SU(2) symmetry. The model exhibits three distinct phases: Coulomb, Higgs and confining. Evidence is found for a massless vector state in the Coulomb phase, and massless Goldstone scalars in the Higgs phase. Also the behavior is studied of the massive states near the transitions between the Coulomb and Higgs phases and between the confining and Higgs phases.     

Coherent states associated with the groups SU(N) and SU(N, 1)

The coherent-state basis is constructed for symmetric representations of the groups SU(N) and SU(N, 1) and its properties are studied. The evolution of coherent states is considered. A relationship between the SU(N) coherent states and the Glauber coherent states is established.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 83–89, January, 1990.     

The SU(3) dibaryons in the chiral quark soliton model

In this Letter we investigate an SU(3) extension of the axially symmetric B=2 chiral quark soliton model. The classical soliton is extended to the SU(3) by trivial embedding. We expand the quark determinant in terms of the collective angular velocity up to the second order and the quark mass difference of the first order. The mass spectrum and the binding energy of the baryon–baryon channels down to strangeness S=−6 are then obtained.     

A silicon bag model with SU(2) × SU(2) chiral dynamics

We describe a soliton bag model which incorporates explicitly SU(2) × SU(2) chiral dynamics, including the conservation of the polar vector current, the partial conservation of the axial vector current, and the SU(2) × SU(2) current algebra. This model appears to be renormalizable so that higher order effects may be treated systematically.
