Higgsed antisymmetric tensors and topological defects
It is well known that the Higgs-mechanism [1] involving a complex scalar and a vector particle can be extended to antisymmetric tensor fields [2]. The formal extension consists in a model containing a (h-1)-form, an h-form and a scalar field with a Higgs type Lagrangian in a spacetime of arbitrary dimension D = d + 1. When the scalar field gets a vacuum expectation value, the h-form eats the de...
متن کاملMulti-Hamiltonian structure of self-dual gravity
We discover multi-Hamiltonian structure of the complex MongeAmpère equation (CMA) set in a real first-order two-component form. Therefore, by Magri’s theorem this is a completely integrable system in four real dimensions. We start with Lagrangian and Hamiltonian densities in real variables, a symplectic form and the Hamiltonian operator, that determines the Poisson bracket. We have calculated a...
متن کاملStructure-Preserving Low Multilinear Rank Approximation of Antisymmetric Tensors
This paper is concerned with low multilinear rank approximations to antisymmetric tensors, that is, multivariate arrays for which the entries change sign when permuting pairs of indices. We show which ranks can be attained by an antisymmetric tensor and discuss the adaption of existing approximation algorithms to preserve antisymmetry, most notably a Jacobi algorithm. Particular attention is pa...
متن کاملBFT Hamiltonian Embedding of Non-Abelian Self-Dual Model
Following systematically the generalized Hamiltonian approach of Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin, we embed the second-class non-abelian self-dual model of P. K. Townsend et al into a gauge theory. The strongly involutive Hamiltonian and constraints are obtained as an infinite power series in the auxiliary fields. By formally summing the series we obtain a simple interpretation for the first-class H...
متن کاملHamiltonian Systems on Manifolds of Second-order Tensors *
Considered is the Schrödinger equation in a finite-dimensional space as an equation of mathematical physics derivable from the variational principle and treatable in terms of the Lagrange-Hamilton formalism. It provides an interesting example of " mechanics " with singular Lagrangians, effectively treatable within the framework of Dirac formalism. We discuss also some modified " Schrödinger " e...
