Nonperturbative Reduction of Yang-Mills Theory and Low Energy Effective Action
نویسنده
چکیده
The method of reduction of a non-Abelian gauge theory to the corresponding unconstrained system is exemplified for SU(2) Yang-Mills field theory. The reduced Hamiltonian which describes the dynamics of the gauge invariant variables is presented in the form of a strong coupling expansion. The physical variables are separated into fields, which are scalars under spatial rotations, and rotational degrees of freedom. It is shown how in the infrared limit an effective nonlinear sigma model type Lagrangian can be derived which out of the six physical fields involves only one of three scalar fields and two rotational fields summarized in a unit vector. Its possible relation to the effective Lagrangian proposed recently by Faddeev and Niemi is discussed.

Effective action of N = 4 super Yang - Mills : N = 2 superspace approach
Using the N = 2 off-shell formulation in harmonic superspace for N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory, we present a representation of the one-loop effective action which is free of so-called coinciding harmonic singularities and admits a straightforward evaluation of low-energy quantum corrections in the framework of an N = 2 superfield heat kernel technique. We illustrate our approach by computing th...
متن کاملAttractors at weak gravity
We study the attractor mechanism in low energy effective D = 4, N = 2 Yang-Mills theory weakly coupled to gravity, obtained from the effective action of type IIB string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. Using special Kähler geometry, the general form of the leading gravitational correction is derived, and from this the attractor equations in the weak gravity limit. The effective New...
متن کاملIndications for Gluon Condensation From Nonperturbative Flow Equations
We employ nonperturbative flow equations for the description of the effective action in Yang-Mills theories. We find that the perturbative vacuum with vanishing gauge field strength does not correspond to the minimum of the Euclidean effective action. The true ground state is characterized by a nonvanishing gluon condensate.
متن کاملAn effective action for monopoles and knot solitons in Yang-Mills theory
By comparision with numerical results in the maximal Abelian projection of lattice Yang-Mills theory, it is argued that the nonperturbative dynamics of Yang Mills theory can be described by a set of fields that take their values in the coset space SU(2)/U(1). The Yang-Mills connection is parameterized in a special way to separate the dependence on the coset field. The coset field is then regard...
متن کاملGluon Condensation in Nonperturbative Flow Equations
We employ nonperturbative flow equations for an investigation of the effective action in Yang-Mills theories. We compute the effective action Γ[B] for constant color magnetic fields B and examine Savvidy’s conjecture of an unstable perturbative vacuum. Our results indicate that the absolute minimum of Γ[B] occurs for B = 0. Gluon condensation is described by a nonvanishing expectation value of ...
