Mass generation for gauge fields in the Salam-Weinberg theory without Higgs bosons

We consider the Salam-Weinberg theory by introducing tensor gauge fields. When these fields are coupled in a topological way with the vector ones, the resulting system constitutes an alternative mechanism of mass generation for vector fields without the presence of Higgs bosons. We show that these masses are in agreement with the ones obtained by means of the spontaneous symmetry breaking.     

Two-dimensional gauge theory and matrix model

We study a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing Chern–Simons theory on S³$S^3$. We find that the matrix integration is decomposed into sectors classified by the representation of SU(2)$\mathit{SU}(2)$. We show that the N  -block sectors reproduce SU(N)$\mathit{SU}(N)$ Yang–Mills theory on S²$S^2$ as the matrix size goes to infinity.     

Renormalization of a gauge theory in a nonlinear gauge

We discuss renormalization of an O(3) gauge model with the gauge fixing term given by ℒ_g.f.=-1/ζ|(∂_μ-igA ₃ ^μ )W ^+μ|²-(1/2α)(∂A ³)². We utilize earlier results on the general theory of renormalization of gauge theories in quadratic gauges to prove multiplicative renormalizability of the theory together with a subtractive renormalization of gauge fixing and ghost terms. We show that this model has a double BRS invariance and that it is preserved under renormalization.     

Anatomy of a gauge theory

We exhibit the role of Hochschild cohomology in quantum field theory with particular emphasis on gauge theory and Dyson–Schwinger equations, the quantum equations of motion. These equations emerge from Hopf- and Lie algebra theory and free quantum field theory only. In the course of our analysis, we exhibit an intimate relation between the Slavnov–Taylor identities for the couplings and the existence of Hopf sub-algebras defined on the sum of all graphs at a given loop order, surpassing the need to work on single diagrams.     

Caustics in a simpleSU(2) lattice gauge theory model

This paper describes the beginning of an attempt to study the weak coupling limit of lattice gauge theories, using the Hamiltonian formulation and the semiclassical approximation. The topics are caustics and the behavior of the ground state wave function in the vicinity of caustics. For two very simpleSU(2) models (one plaquette, two plaquettes) we demonstrate the existence of caustics, determine their locations and study the peaking behavior of the ground state wave function on them in the limitg ²→0.     

Simplicial gauge theory and quantum gauge theory simulation

We propose a general formulation of simplicial lattice gauge theory inspired by the finite element method. Numerical tests of convergence towards continuum results are performed for several SU(2) gauge fields. Additionally, we perform simplicial Monte Carlo quantum gauge field simulations involving measurements of the action as well as differently sized Wilson loops as functions of β.     

Determination of a gauge transformation group in gauge field theory

The existence of different types of gauge transformations in gauge theory and the theory of gravitation is established and they are defined in the language of fiber bundles.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 52–57, December, 1984.     

The standard model from a gauge theory in ten dimensions via CSDR

We present a gauge theory in ten dimensions based on the gauge group E₈ which is dimensionally reduced, according to the coset space dimensional reduction (CSDR) scheme, to the standard model SU_3c×SU_2L×U₁, which breaks further to SU_3c×U_1em. We use the coset space Sp₄/(SU₂×U₁)×Z₂. The model gives similar predictions for sin²θ_w and proton decay as the minimal SU₅ GUT. Natural choices of parameters suggest that the Higgs masses are as predicted by the Coleman-Weinberg radiative mechanism.     

Relationship of a gauge model of an elasto-plastic medium to the Mindlin theory

We examine the relationship between the simplest gauge model of a material with the Mindlin theory that takes into account microstructure in linear elasticity. We establish a connection between the dynamical equations for the two models. The connection allows us to relate an unknown material constant in the gauge Lagrangian to the inertial properties of the structural elements. We obtain an estimate of the unknown constant and the corresponding characteristic frequency for the dimensions of elements with different structural levels of deformation.Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch.

Random percolation as a gauge theory

Three-dimensional bond or site percolation theory on a lattice can be interpreted as a gauge theory in which the Wilson loops are viewed as counters of topological linking with random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson loops decay with an area law and show the universal shape effects due to flux tube quantum fluctuations like in ordinary confining gauge theories. Wilson loop correlators define a non-trivial spectrum of physical states of increasing mass and spin, like the glueballs of ordinary gauge theory. The crumbling of the percolating cluster when the length of one periodic direction decreases below a critical threshold accounts for the finite temperature deconfinement, which belongs to 2D percolation universality class.     

Zwanziger-Landau gauge in regularized gauge theory

The Green functions of Zwanziger-gaugefixed and continuum-regularized gauge theory are finite and transverse to all orders as the Zwanziger parameter α goes to zero.     

Supergravity as a gauge theory of supersymmetry

In a new approach to supergravity we consider the gauge theory of the 14-dimensional supersymmetry group. The theory is constructed from 14×4 gauge fields, 4 gauge fields being associated with each of the 14 generators of supersymmetry. The gauge fields corresponding to the 10 generators of the Poincaré subgroup are those normally associated with general relativity, and the gauge fields corresponding to the 4 generators of supersymmetry transformations are identified with a Rarita-Schwinger spinor. The transformation laws of the gauge fields and the Lagrangian of lowest degree are uniquely constructed from the supersymmetry algebra. The resulting action is shown to be invariant under these gauge transformations if the translation associated field strength vanishes. It is shown that the second-order form of the action, which is the same as that previously proposed, is invariant without constraint.     

Graded gauge theory

The mathematical background for a graded extension of gauge theories is investigated. After discussing the general properties of graded Lie algebras and what may serve as a model for a graded Lie group, the graded fiber bundle is constructed. Its basis manifold is supposed to be the so-called superspace, i.e. the product of the Minkowskian space-time with the Grassmann algebra spanned by the anticommuting Lorentz spinors; the vertical subspaces tangent to the fibers are isomorphic with the graded extension of the SU(N) Lie algebra. The connection and curvature are defined then on this bundle; the two different gradings are either independent of each other, or may be unified in one common grading, which is equivalent to the choice of the spin-statistics dependence. The Yang-Mills lagrangian is investigated in the simplified case. The conformal symmetry breaking is discussed, as well as some other physical consequences of the model.     

Induced gauge theory on a noncommutative space

We consider a scalar φ⁴ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner to the scalar field. We extract the dynamics for the gauge field from the divergent terms of the 1-loop effective action, using a matrix basis and propose an action for the noncommutative gauge theory, which is a candidate for a renormalisable model.

General relativity is a gauge type theory

It is shown that the Einstein-Maxwell theory of interacting electromagnetism and gravitation, can be derived from a first-order Lagrangian, depending on the electromagnetic field and on the curvature of a symmetric affine connection on the space-time M. The variation is taken with respect to the electromagnetic potential (a connection on a U(1) principal fiber bundle on M) and the gravitational potential (a connection on the GL(4, R) principal fiber bundle of frames on M). The metric tensor g does not appear in the Lagrangian, but it arises as a momentum canonically conjugated to . The Lagrangians of this type are calculated also for the Proca field, for a charged scalar field interacting with electromagnetism and gravitation, and for a few other interesting physical theories.

文章讨论了夸克QCD模型和层子模型的关系,说明夸克动力学模型的基础是非亚贝尔规范场理论.层子模型是半唯象理论,没有动力学互作用的机制.QCD由于以非亚贝尔规范场为动力学互作用机制,在高能行为有渐近自由的重要性质.层子模型是低能束缚态的唯象性质的模型,与渐近自由是完全无关.强调“渐近自由”是一个独立于夸克模型的物理概念,它的理论基础是非亚贝尔规范场理论;当把非亚贝尔规范场作为夸克相互作用建立了夸克的动力学模型——量子色动力学（quantum chromodynamics,QCD）;层子模型是想把静态夸克模型发展为动力学模型,但它走的路线与QCD完全不同,层子的互作用不涉及非亚贝尔规范场,与渐近自由是不同概念和不同思想和不同考察区域;文章还指出夸克动力学的QCD模型同层子模型是哲学思想不同,物理思想也不相同的路线,层子模型没有接纳非亚贝尔规范场而未能达成创新的成果.文章也强调三十多年前层子模型研究的创新意识和团队精神是我们值得推崇的优秀传统.

大尺度有效引力的E(2)规范理论模型

微波背景辐射的低l极矩的各向异性可能不能用微波背景辐射静止系boost到本动参考系来解释,我们推断boost对称性在宇宙学尺度上缺失,又由于单纯结合广义相对论和物质结构的标准模型不能解释星系以上尺度的引力现象,需要引入暗物质和暗能量.而迄今为止所有寻找暗物质粒子的实验给出的都是否定结果,暗能量的本质更是一个谜.因此,我们假设洛伦兹对称性是从星系以上尺度开始部分破缺,以非常狭义相对论对称群E(2)为例,用E(2)规范理论来构造大尺度有效引力理论,并分析了此规范理论的自洽性.从这些讨论中发现,当物质源即使为普通标量物质时,contortion也一般非零,非零contortion的存在会贡献一个等效能量动量张量的分布,它可能对暗物质效应给出至少部分的贡献.我们从对称性出发修改引力,有别于其他的修改引力理论.     

Self-dual monopoles in a seven-dimensional gauge theory

The existence of self-dual or anti-self-dual monopoles of a seven-dimensional generalized Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is proved using the second-order equations of motion. The behavior of solutions can be used to recognize self- or anti-self-duality. Moreover, it is shown that, in the class of the field configurations under discussion, the solutions are, in fact, unique.
