Supersymmetry is formulated within a functional approach of euclidean quantum field theory. The rǒle of the euclidean Lie superalgebra and its relation to the Poincaré Lie superalgebra are investigated in detail. As example we study the Wess-Zumino model in two dimensions. 相似文献

The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of features—such as Poincaré invariance
and the existence of a preferred vacuum state—that are very special to Minkowski spacetime. In order to generalize the formulation
of quantum field theory to arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, it is essential that the theory be formulated
in an entirely local and covariant manner, without assuming the presence of a preferred state. We propose a new framework
for quantum field theory, in which the existence of an Operator Product Expansion (OPE) is elevated to a fundamental status,
and, in essence, all of the properties of the quantum field theory are determined by its OPE. We provide general axioms for
the OPE coefficients of a quantum field theory. These include a local and covariance assumption (implying that the quantum
field theory is constructed in a local and covariant manner from the spacetime metric and other background structure, such
as time and space orientations), a microlocal spectrum condition, an “associativity” condition, and the requirement that the
coefficient of the identity in the OPE of the product of a field with its adjoint have positive scaling degree. We prove curved
spacetime versions of the spin-statistics theorem and the PCT theorem. Some potentially significant further implications of
our new viewpoint on quantum field theory are discussed. 相似文献

The structure of quantum field theory renormalization in curved space-time is investigated. The equations allowing us to investigate the behaviour of vacuum energy and vertex functions in the limit of small distances in the external gravitational field are established. The behaviour of effective charges corresponding to the parameters of nonminimal coupling of the matter with the gravitational field is studied and the conditions under which asymptotically free theories become asymptotically conformally invariant are found. The examples of asymptotically conformally invariant theories are given. On the basis of a direct solution of renormalization group equations the effective potential in the external gravitational field and the effective action in the gravity with the high derivatives are obtained. The expression for the cosmological constant in terms of R2-gravity Lagrangian parameters is given which does not contradict the observable data. Renormalization and renormalization group equations for the theory in curved space-time with torsion are investigated. 相似文献

A certain dilogarithmic integral I
7 turns up in a number of contexts including Feynman diagram calculations, volumes of tetrahedra in hyperbolic geometry, knot
theory, and conjectured relations in analytic number theory. We provide an alternative explicit evaluation of a parameterized
family of integrals containing this particular case. By invoking the Bloch–Wigner form of the dilogarithm function, we produce
an equivalent result, giving a third evaluation of I
7. We also alternatively formulate some conjectures which we pose in terms of values of the specific Clausen function Cl2. 相似文献

We discuss a formulation of quantum field theory on quantum space time where the perturbation expansion of the S-matrix is term by term ultraviolet finite.
The characteristic feature of our approach is a quantum version of the Wick product at coinciding points: the differences
of coordinates q
j
−q
k
are not set equal to zero, which would violate the commutation relation between their components. We show that the optimal
degree of approximate coincidence can be defined by the evaluation of a conditional expectation which replaces each function
of q
j
−q
k
by its expectation value in optimally localized states, while leaving the mean coordinates invariant.
The resulting procedure is to a large extent unique, and is invariant under translations and rotations, but violates Lorentz
invariance. Indeed, optimal localization refers to a specific Lorentz frame, where the electric and magnetic parts of the
commutator of the coordinates have to coincide [11].
Employing an adiabatic switching, we show that the S-matrix is term by term finite. The matrix elements of the transfer matrix
are determined, at each order in the perturbative expansion, by kernels with Gaussian decay in the Planck scale. The adiabatic
limit and the large scale limit of this theory will be studied elsewhere.

In the context of the PT-symmetric version of quantum electrodynamics, it is argued that the C-operator introduced in order to define a unitary inner product has nothing to do with charge conjugation. 相似文献

We highlight the general notion of a relative quantum field theory, which occurs in several contexts. One is in gauge theory based on a compact Lie algebra, rather than a compact Lie group. This is relevant to the maximal superconformal theory in six dimensions. 相似文献

We develop a general framework for quantum field theory on noncommutative spaces, i.e., spaces with quantum group symmetry.
We use the path integral approach to obtain expressions for n-point functions. Perturbation theory leads us to generalised Feynman diagrams which are braided, i.e., they have non-trivial
over- and under-crossings. We demonstrate the power of our approach by applying it to φ4-theory on the quantum 2-sphere. We find that the basic divergent diagram of the theory is regularised.

We consider quantum geometrodynamics and parametrized quantum field theories in the framework of the Bohm-de Broglie interpretation. In the first case, and following the lines of our previous work [1], where a hamiltonian formalism for the bohmian trajectories was constructed, we show the consistency of the theory for any quantum potential, completing the scenarios for canonical quantum cosmology presented there. In the latter case, we prove the consistency of scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime for any quantum potential, and we show, using this alternative hamiltonian method, a concrete example where Lorentz invariance of individual events is broken. 相似文献

This is the second and last instalment of the investigation of particle correlation in quantum field theory for fundamental processes with two-mono-energetic particle productions. The angular correlation is defined as the average (epectation value) of the cosine of the angle between the momenta of the two outgoing particles. A positive correlation indicates, in a statistical sense, that the particles tend to travel in the same directions (as in beam formation) while a negative one that they tend to travel in opposing directions. The angular correlation of γγ produced in pair annihilation of charged particles in scalar quantum electrodynamics, scalar-pair production by charged and neutral Nambu strings, as well as e+e— pair-production by a Neutral Nambu string are studied in detail. 相似文献

In this paper a new proof of an identity of Giacomin, Olla, and Spohn is given. The identity relates the 2 point correlation function of a Euclidean field theory to the expectation of the Green's function for a pde with random coefficients. The Euclidean field theory is assumed to have convex potential. An inequality of Brascamp and Lieb therefore implies Gaussian bounds on the Fourier transform of the 2 point correlation function. By an application of results from random pde, the previously mentioned identity implies pointwise Gaussian bounds on the 2 point correlation function. 相似文献

The infinitesimal symmetries of a fully decomposed non-Abelian gerbe can be generated in terms of a nilpotent BRST operator, which is here constructed. The appearing fields find a natural interpretation in terms of the universal gerbe, a generalisation of the universal bundle. We comment on the construction of observables in the arising Topological Quantum Field Theory. It is also shown how the BRST operator and the trace part of a suitably truncated set of fields on the non-Abelian gerbe reduce directly to the coboundary operator and the pertinent cochains of the underlying ?ech–de Rham complex. 相似文献

A theory is defined to be relativistic if its Hamiltonian, total momenta, and boost's generators satisfy commutation relations of the Poincaré group. Field theories with usual local interactions are known to be relativistic. A simple example of a relativistic nonlocal theory is found. However, it has divergences. Some conditions are obtained which are necessary in order that a nonlocal theory be relativistic and divergenceless. 相似文献
