Non-Abelian Gauge Invariance Notes
Introduction and Motivation Until now, all the theories that we have studied have been somewhat restricted to the ‘canonical.’ The Lagrangians of quantum electrodynamics, φ-theory, Yukawa theory, etc. have been the starting points for our development–while we have learned to interpret them, we have not yet developed adequate methods to build Lagrangians for new theories. On of the most importan...
متن کاملGauge Invariance of String Fields
We identify the gauge invariances of the linearized field theory of strings which give rise to the Yang-Mills and general coordinate invariance of this theory. We construct a kinetic energy term for string fields which is invariant to these gauge symmetries. By gauge-fixing, we derive from this action the expressions for the free string action in particular gauges found by Kaku and Kikkawa and ...
متن کاملDuality invariance of all free bosonic and fermionic gauge fields
We give a simple general extension to all free bosonic and fermionic massless gauge fields of a recent proof that spin 2 is duality invariant in flat space. We also discuss its validity in (A)dS backgrounds and the relevance of supersymmetry. Recently [1], it was shown that the duality invariance originally established [2] for Maxwell theory in D=4, extends to free massless spin 2. It was also ...
متن کاملNotes on conformal invisibility devices
As a consequence of the wave nature of light, invisibility devices based on isotropic media cannot be perfect. The principal distortions of invisibility are due to reflections and time delays. Reflections can be made exponentially small for devices that are large in comparison with the wavelength of light. Time delays are unavoidable and will result in wave-front dislocations. This paper consid...
متن کاملConformal invariance from non-conformal gravity
We discuss the conditions under which classically conformally invariant models in four dimensions can arise out of non-conformal (Einstein) gravity. As an ‘existence proof’ that this is indeed possible we show how to derive N = 4 super Yang Mills theory with any compact gauge group G from non-conformal gauged N = 4 supergravity as a special flat space limit. We stress the role that the anticipa...
