Exact Vacuum Energy of Orbifold Lattice Theories
We investigate the orbifold lattice theories constructed from supersymmetric YangMills matrix theories (mother theories) with four and eight supercharges. We show that the vacuum energy of these theories vanishes exactly and the classical flat directions remain flat even if we take into account quantum effects.
متن کاملVacuum energy on orbifold factors of spheres
The vacuum energy is calculated for a free, conformally-coupled scalar field on the orbifold space-time IR × S2/Γ where Γ is a finite subgroup of O(3) acting with fixed points. The energy vanishes when Γ is composed of pure rotations but not otherwise. It is shown on general grounds that the same conclusion holds for all even-dimensional factored spheres and the vacuum energies are given as gen...
متن کاملHamiltonian SU(N) lattice gauge theories with exact vacuum states in 2+1 dimensions.
We investigate (2+1)-d Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory using a class of Hamiltonians having exactly known vacuum states. These theories are shown to have a wide range of possible classical continuum limits which differ from that of the standard Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian. This conclusion is at variance with some previously published results. We examine the quantum continuum behavior of these t...
متن کاملAlgebraic orbifold conformal field theories.
The unitary rational orbifold conformal field theories in the algebraic quantum field theory and subfactor theory framework are formulated. Under general conditions, it is shown that the orbifold of a given unitary rational conformal field theory generates a unitary modular category. Many new unitary modular categories are obtained. It is also shown that the irreducible representations of orbif...
متن کاملAnomalies in orbifold field theories
We study the constraints on models with extra dimensions arising from local anomaly cancellation. We consider a five-dimensional field theory with a U(1) gauge field and a charged fermion, compactified on the orbifold S/(Z2 × Z2). We show that, even if the orbifold projections remove both fermionic zero modes, there are gauge anomalies localized at the fixed points. Anomalies naively cancel aft...
