Canonical global symmetry and quantal conservation laws for a system with singular higher order Lagrangian

Starting from the phase-space generating functional of the Green function for a system with singular higher order Lagrangian, the generalized canonical Ward identities under the global symmetry transformation in phase space is deduced. The local transformation connected with this global symmetry transformation is studied, and the quantal conservation laws are obtained for such a system. We give a preliminary application to higher derivative Yang-Mills theory; a generalized quantal BRS conserved quantity is found.     

Topological Chern—Simons vortices in the O (3) σ -model

Based on the phase-space path integral (functional integral) for a system with a regular or singular Lagrangian, the generalized Ward identities for phase space generating functional under the global transformation in phase space are derived respectively. The canonical Noether theorem at the quantum level is also established. It is pointed out that the connection between the symmetries and conservation laws in classical theories, in general,is no longer preserved in quantum theories. The advantage of our formulation is that we do not need to carry out the integration over the canonical momenta as usually performed. Applying the present formulation to Yang-Mills theory, the quantal BRS conserved quantity and Ward-Takahashi identity for BRS tranformation are derived; the Ward identities for gaugeghost proper vertices and new quantal conserved quantity are also found. In comparison of quantal conservation laws with those one deriving from configuration-space path integral using the Faddeev-Popov(F-P) trick is discussed. A precise study of path-integral quantisation for a nonlinear sigma model with Hopf and Chern-Simons (CS) terms is reexamined. It has been shown that the angular momentum at the quantum level is equal to classical (Noether ) one. Applying our formulation to non-Abelian CS theory, the quantal conserved angular momentum of this system is obtained which differs from classical one in that one needs to take into account the contribution of angular momenta of ghost fields.

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.     

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.
