Quantum Theories of Gauge Fields
In gauge theories, physical histories are represented by space-time connections modulo gauge transformations. The space of histories is thus intrinsically non-linear. The standard framework of constructive quantum field theory has to be extended to face these kinematical non-linearities squarely. We first present a pedagogical account of this problem and then suggest an avenue for its resolution.
متن کاملGauge theories of Yang-Mills vector fields coupled to antisymmetric tensor fields
A nonabelian class of massless/massive nonlinear gauge theories of YangMills vector potentials coupled to Freedman-Townsend antisymmetric tensor potentials is constructed in four spacetime dimensions. These theories involve an extended Freedman-Townsend type coupling between the vector and tensor fields, and a Chern-Simons mass term with the addition of a Higgs type coupling of the tensor field...
متن کاملGauge–invariant Charged, Monopole and Dyon Fields in Gauge Theories
We propose explicit recipes to construct the euclidean Green functions of gauge– invariant charged, monopole and dyon fields in four–dimensional gauge theories whose phase diagram contains phases with deconfined electric and/or magnetic charges. In theories with only either abelian electric or magnetic charges, our construction is an euclidean version of Dirac's original proposal, the magnetic ...
متن کاملQuantum Properties of General Gauge Theories with Composite and External Fields
The most general rules for manifestly covariant quantization of gauge theories in the path integral approach are provided by the BV formalism [1], based on the principle of BRST symmetry [2], as well as by its Sp(2)-covariant version, the BLT quantization scheme [3], based on the principle of extended BRST symmetry [4]. These methods currently underly the study of quantum properties of arbitrar...
متن کاملGauge fields, membranes, and subdeterminant vector models.
We present a class of classically marginal N-vector models in d=4 and d=3 whose scalar potentials can be written as subdeterminants of symmetric matrices. The d=3 case can be thought of as a generalization of the scalar sector of the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model. Using the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation we calculate their effective potentials which exhibit intriguing large-N scaling beh...
