Seiberg-Witten/Whitham Equations and Instanton Corrections in Ν = 2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

We obtain the instanton correction recursion relations for the low energy effective prepotential in pure Ν = 2SU(n) supersymmetric Yang-Mills gauge theory from Whitham hierarchy and Seiberg-Witten/Whitham equations. These formulae provide us a powerful tool to calculate arbitrary order instanton corrections coefficients from the perturbative contributions of the effective prepotential in Seiberg-Witten gauge theory. We apply this idea to evaluate one-and two-order instanton corrections coefficients explicitly in SU(n) case in detail through the dynamical scale parameter expressed in terms of Riemann's theta-function.     

Topological Quantization of Instantons in SU（2） Yang-Mills Theory

By decomposing SU（2） gauge potential in four-dimensional Euclidean SU（2） Yang-Mills theory in a new way, we find that the instanton number related to the isospin defects of a doublet order parameter can be topologically quantized by the Hopf index and Brouwer degree. It is also shown that the instanton number is just the sum of the topological charges of the isospin defects in the non-trivial sector of Yang-Mills theory.     

Dynamical Breaking of Generalized Yang-Mills Theory

The dynamical breaking of a generalized Yang-Mills theory is discussed. It is shown, in terms of the Nambu Jona-Lasinio mechanism, that the gauge symmetry breaking can be realized dynamically in the generalized Yang-Mills theory. The combination of the generalized Yang-Mills theory and the NJL mechanism provides a way to overcome the difficulties related to the Higgs field and the Higgs mechanism in the usual spontaneous symmetry breaking theory.     

Vector and Spinor Decomposition of SU（2） Gauge Potential, Their Equivalence, and Knot Structure in SU（2） Chern-Simons Theory

In this paper, spinor and vector decompositions of SU（2） gauge potential are presented and their equivalence is constructed using a simply proposal. We also obtain the action of Faddeev nonlinear 0（3） sigma model from the SU（2） mass/ve gauge field theory, which is proposed according to the gauge invariant principle. At last, the knot structure in SU（2） Chern-Simons filed theory is discussed in terms of the Φ-mapping topological current theory, The topological charge of the knot is characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of Φ-mapping.     

Spinor Decomposition of SU（2） Gauge Potential and Spinor Structures of Chern-Simons and Chern Density

In this paper, the decomposition of SU(2) gauge potential in terms of Pauli spinor is studied. Using this decomposition, the spinor structures of Chern Simons form and the Chern density are obtained. Furthermore, the knot quantum number of non-Abelian gauge theory can be expressed by the Chern-Simons spinor structure, and the second Chern number is characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of Φ-mapping.     

Stability of proton and maximally symmetric minimal unification model for basic forces and building blocks of matter

With the hypothesis that all independent degrees of freedom of basic building blocks should be treated equally on the same footing and correlated by a possible maximal symmetry, we arrive at a 4-dimensional space-time unification model. In this model the basic building blocks are Majorana fermions in the spinor repre- sentation of 14-dimensional quantum space-time with a gauge symmetry GM4D = SO(1,3)×SU(32)×U(1)A×SU(3)F. The model leads to new physics including mirror particles of the standard model. It enables us to issue some fundamental questions that include: why our living space-time is 4-dimensional, why parity is not con- served in our world, how the stability of proton is, what the origin of CP violation is and what the dark matter can be.

Furthermore, the knotquantum number of non-Abelian gauge theory can be expressed by the Chern-Simons spinor structure, and the secondChern number is characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of φ-mapping.     

Maximal symmetry and mass generation of Dirac fermions and gravitational gauge field theory in six-dimensional spacetime

The relativistic Dirac equation in four-dimensional spacetime reveals a coherent relation between the dimensions of spacetime and the degrees of freedom of fermionic spinors. A massless Dirac fermion generates new symmetries corresponding to chirality spin and charge spin as well as conformal scaling transformations. With the introduction of intrinsic W-parity, a massless Dirac fermion can be treated as a Majorana-type or Weyl-type spinor in a six-dimensional spacetime that reflects the intrinsic quantum numbers of chirality spin. A generalized Dirac equation is obtained in the six-dimensional spacetime with a maximal symmetry. Based on the framework of gravitational quantum field theory proposed in Ref. [1] with the postulate of gauge invariance and coordinate independence, we arrive at a maximally symmetric gravitational gauge field theory for the massless Dirac fermion in six-dimensional spacetime. Such a theory is governed by the local spin gauge symmetry SP(1,5) and the global Poincar′e symmetry P(1,5)= SO(1,5) P~(1,5) as well as the charge spin gauge symmetry SU(2). The theory leads to the prediction of doubly electrically charged bosons. A scalar field and conformal scaling gauge field are introduced to maintain both global and local conformal scaling symmetries. A generalized gravitational Dirac equation for the massless Dirac fermion is derived in the six-dimensional spacetime. The equations of motion for gauge fields are obtained with conserved currents in the presence of gravitational effects. The dynamics of the gauge-type gravifield as a Goldstone-like boson is shown to be governed by a conserved energy-momentum tensor, and its symmetric part provides a generalized Einstein equation of gravity. An alternative geometrical symmetry breaking mechanism for the mass generation of Dirac fermions is demonstrated.     

Phase Diagram and Phase Separation of a Trapped Interacting Bose-Fermi Gas Mixture

In six different regimes for a spatial phase diagram of a trapped interacting Bose-Fermi gas mixture at low temperatures, we present the conditions for the spatial demixing and separation of bosons and fermions. Starting from a semiclassically thermodynamic model for the local density functional of thermal bosons and fermions,the explicit analytical expressions for the fugacities of bosons and fermions are derived in different regimes by means of a first-order perturbation method in a local-density approximation. The critical values of the fermionboson interaction strength as a function of the fractional composition of fermions have a general feature: increase,extreme and decrease with increasing the fermionic composition slightly above Bose-Einstein critical temperature.     

PARISI-SOURLAS CONFINEMENT MECHANISM OF QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS

Using Parisi and Sourlas dimensional reduction, four-dimensional quantum chromodynamics is reduced to a two-dimensional principal chiral model by suitable superspace embedding. The frame T^a cannot be regarded as a fixed one and the frame connection field \varω_μ(x) becomes a dynamical gauge field in two dimensions, giving rise to a confining potential. As a result of the original SU(3) Yang-Mills field obtains another SU(3) local symmetry and turns into SU(3)×SU(3) local symmetry－one group element as exp (iδ\varphi^aT^a) with fixed frame T^a, the other gauging the frame T^a.     

Spectra of massive and massless QCD dirac operators: A novel link

We show that integrable structure of chiral random matrix models incorporating global symmetries of QCD Dirac operators (labeled by the Dyson index beta = 1,2, and 4) leads to emergence of a connection relation between the spectral statistics of massive and massless Dirac operators. This novel link established for beta-fold degenerate massive fermions is used to explicitly derive (and prove the random matrix universality of) statistics of low-lying spectra of QCD Dirac operators in the presence of SU(2) massive fermions in the fundamental representation ( beta = 1) and SU(N(c)>/=2) massive adjoint fermions ( beta = 4). Comparison with available lattice data for SU(2) dynamical staggered fermions reveals a good agreement.     

The screening of colour charge in the numerical hopping-parameter expansion

The screening of the quark-antiquark potential by dynamical quark-antiquark pairs is numerically investigated in SU(2) colour gauge theory with Wilson fermions. The expected qualitative behaviour is born out by a high-order hopping-parameter expansion. The screening length is about 0.8 fm and the dissociation energy of a heavy quark-antiquark pair is near 600–800 MeV.     

Glueball mass calculations on an array of computers

We have calculated the mass of the 0⁺ glueball in SU(2) pure gauge theory in 4 dimensions, with very high statistics. The computation was done on an array of microprocessors with nearest-neighbor connections which run concurrently. We discuss, in detail, the implementation of the pure gauge algorithm for SU(2) and SU(3) and also the algorithm for calculating arbitrarily shaped Wilson loops on the array. The extension of these algorithms to the inclusion of dynamical fermions is also discussed. Finally, we present the results of our variational calculation of glueball masses which are in agreement with published results.     

The role of surface variables in the vacuum structure of Yang-Mills theory

The structure of the vacuum in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is discussed for general gauges. The original discussions given by Callan et al. and Jackiw and Rebbi are restricted to a particular class of gauge conditions. We show that the periodic vacua and the “vacuum seizing” in the presence of massless fermions can be realized in any gauge by recognizing the independent dynamical role of surface variables defined at spatial infinity.     

The interquark potential: SU(2) colour gauge theory with fermions

Including dynamical fermions in the Monte Carlo simulation of the SU(2) gauge theory, the potential between static quarks is investigated on a 16×8³ lattice. The Coulomb part of the force is stronger as compared with the pure gauge field theory. At large distances indications are found for a deviation from the linear rise of the potential, expected from a break-up of the flux tube between the heavy quarks through spontaneous creation of light quark pairs.     

Incorporating dynamical light quarks in lattice QCD at finite temperature

Using the pseudo-fermion Monte Carlo method we investigate the chiral and the deconfinement phase transitions in the SU(3) gauge theory with dynamical staggered fermions on a 6³ × 2 lattice. The energy density of the gluonic sector ε_G, the average thermal Wilson loop |L| and the order parameter are found to have a rapid variation in the same range of β (=6/g²). The variation is similar to that observed in the quenched theory but is at a smaller value of β.     

Quasi nambu-goldstone fermions

We explore in detail the hypothesis that quarks and leptons are the approximately massless quasi Goldstone fermions of a supersymmetric preon theory. In particular, we discuss the possible patterns of states emerging from the spontaneous breakdown of global symmetries in supersymmetric theories and construct the low-energy effective lagrangians describing the interaction of these states. In contrast to what happens in the Goldstone sector, the interactions of the quasi Goldstone fermions contain arbitrary parameters which directly reflect the preon dynamics. Various models are explored, including both models in which the weak interactions are residual and models where these interactions are fundamental. A variety of issues are addressed, from the universality and approximate SU(2)_L nature of the weak interactions, for the former class of models, to the generation of states beyond the quarks and leptons and the nature of the dynamical breaking of SU(2)_L×U(1), for the latter class of models. Open questions and speculations connected with the origin of families and the nature of fermion mass generation, including supersymmetry breaking, are also discussed.     

Bosonic lattice gauge theory with noise

We apply the recently suggested linear updating algorithm of Kennedy and Kuti to four-dimensional SU(3) bosonic gauge theory with the Wilson action. The change in the action for each link update is estimated stochastically, and we find that the algorithm gives the mean plaquette correctly for reasonable parameter values. Our results indicate that this method should be efficient for Monte Carlo computations with complicated “improved” actions, and they also show the feasibility of using such “noisy” methods to include the dynamical effects of fermions.     

Spectrum of lattice gauge theories with fermions from a 1/d expansion at strong coupling

We study the strong coupling limit of U(N) or SU(N) gauge theories with fermions on a lattice. The integration over the gauge and fermion degrees of freedom is performed by analytic methods, leading to a partition function in terms of localized meson and baryon fields. A method for deriving a systematic expansion in the inverse of the space-time dimension of the corresponding Green functions is developed. It is applied to the study of spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry, which occurs for any U(N) or SU(N) theory with fermions in the fundamental representation. Meson and baryon spectra are then computed, and found to be in close agreement with those obtained by numerical methods at finite coupling. The pion decay constant is estimated.     

Algebraic vortex liquid in spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnets: scenario for Cs2CuCl4

Motivated by inelastic neutron scattering data on Cs2CuCl4, we explore spin-1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnets with both spatial and easy-plane exchange anisotropies, the latter due to an observed Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Exploiting a duality mapping followed by a fermionization of the dual vortex degrees of freedom, we find a novel critical spin-liquid phase described in terms of Dirac fermions with an emergent global SU(4) symmetry minimally coupled to a noncompact U(1) gauge field. This "algebraic vortex liquid" supports gapless spin excitations and universal power-law correlations in the dynamical spin structure factor which are consistent with those observed in Cs2CuCl4. We suggest future neutron scattering experiments that should help distinguish between the algebraic vortex liquid and other spin liquids and quantum critical points previously proposed in the context of Cs2CuCl4.
