Boundary terms in the AdS/CFT correspondence for spinor fields
The requirement that the action be stationary for solutions of the Dirac equations in anti-de Sitter space with a definite asymptotic behaviour is shown to fix the boundary term (with its coefficient) that must be added to the standard Dirac action in the AdS/CFT correspondence for spinor fields.
متن کاملBoundary Terms for Massless Fermionic Fields
Local supersymmetry leads to boundary conditions for fermionic fields in one-loop quantum cosmology involving the Euclidean normal en A′ A to the boundary and a pair of independent spinor fields ψ and ψ̃ ′ . This paper studies the corresponding classical properties, i.e. the classical boundary-value problem and boundary terms in the variational problem. If √ 2 en A′ A ψ ∓ ψ̃A′ ≡ ΦA′ is set to zer...
متن کاملNonlinear Spinor and Scalar Fields in General Relativity
We consider a system of nonlinear spinor and scalar fields with minimal coupling in general relativity. The nonlinearity in the spinor field Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the invariants generated from the bilinear spinor forms S = ψ̄ψ and P = iψ̄γ5ψ; the scalar Lagrangian is chosen as an arbitrary function of the scalar invariant Υ = φ,αφ ,α, that becomes linear at Υ → 0. The sp...
متن کاملReal Spinor Fields
The Dirac equation is expressed entirely in terms of geometrical quantities by providing a geometrical interpretation for the (−1) which appears explicitly in the Dirac equation. In the modification of the Dirac electron theory which ensues, the (−1) appears as the generator of rotations in the spacelike plane orthogonal to the plane containing the electron current and spin vectors. This amount...
متن کاملA new scheme for the Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields on the lattice with axial anomaly
Using the method of finite differences a scheme is proposed to solve exactly the Klein-Gordon and Dirac free field equations, in a (1 + 1)-dimensional lattice. The hamiltonian of the Dirac field is translational invariant, hermitian, avoids fermion doubling, and, for the massless case, preserves global chiral symmetry. Coupling the fermion field to the electromagnetic vector potential we constr...
