Gauge Invariance of Green Functions: Background-Field Method versus Pinch Technique
Application of the background-field method to QCD and the electroweak Standard Model yields gauge-invariant effective actions giving rise to simple Ward identities. Within this method, we calculate the quantities that have been treated in the literature using the pinch technique. Putting the quantum gauge parameter equal to one, we recover the pinch-technique results as a special case of the ba...
متن کاملGauge invariance, gauge-parameter independence and properties of Green functions
The application of the background-field method to the electroweak Standard Model is reviewed and further explored. Special emphasis is put on questions of gauge invariance and gauge-parameter (in-)dependence. Owing to the gauge invariance of the background-field effective action, the vertex functions obey simple Ward identities which imply important properties of the vertex functions. Carrying ...
متن کاملGeneralized Pinch Technique and the Background Field Method in General Gauges
It is shown that Cornwall’s pinch technique can be extended in a consistent diagrammatic way, so as to describe general background field gauges in Yang-Mills theories. The resulting one-loop Green’s functions are found to obey Ward identities identical to those derived from the classical action at the tree level. This generalization of the pinch technique may hence be related to the background ...
متن کاملSymmetry properties of massive gauge theories in nonlinear background gauges: Background dependence of Green functions
Nonabelian gauge theories with a generic background field Aμ in nonlinear gauges due to Delbourgo and Jarvis are investigated. The Aμ-dependence is completely determined by the help of a linear differential equation which obtaines from the Kluberg-Stern-Zuber and the Lee identity. Its integration leads to a relation between the one-particle irreducible vertex functional in the background field ...
متن کاملGauge invariance of elementary particle processes taking place in presence of a background magnetic field
Elementary particle scatterings and decays in presence of a background magnetic field are very common in physics, specially after the observation that the core of the neutron stars can sustain a magnetic field of the order of 10 G. The important point about these calculations is that they are done in a background of a gauge field and as a result the calculations are prone to gauge arbitrariness...
